Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station

22 May, 01 PM - 10 Aug, 01 PM

We have two primary aims for this visit to the Gump station: to create pedigrees for genetic mapping and to perform fitness and behavioural assays. Using our study species the butterfly Hypolimnas bolina we will create large pedigrees resulting in ~ 1000 F2 offspring by crossing French Polynesian butterflies, which are susceptible to Wolbachia-induced male-killing with butterflies from Southeast Asia. Using the same butterfly stock we will also perform crosses to generate butterflies with and without Wolbachia and with and without the suppressor. We will use a number of measures e.g. egg viability, spermatophore size, larvae size to assess the fitness of the different types of butterfly.
