• Phylogenetic relationships of subfamilies and circumscription of tribes in the family Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea) (2008, background): “…1994; Brower, 2000; Regier et al., 2000, 2002; Wiegmann et al., 2000; Caterino et al., 2001; Bucheli and Wenzel, 2005; Wahlberg et al., 2005a,b; Braby et al., 2006; Brower et al., 2006; Peña et al., 2006), it is clear that molecular characters can be useful in delineating higher-level taxa…”
• Lepidoptera phylogeny and systematics: the state of inventorying moth and butterfly diversity (2007, background): “The minimum age for the butterfly families Pieridae and Nymphalidae as estimated from molecular evolution is more than 70 MYO, hence the butterflies as a whole must be somewhat older (Braby et al. 2006, Wahlberg 2006).”
• Species traits explain recent range shifts of Finnish butterflies (2009, methodology): “To calculate a correlation matrix for species-to-species relatedness in GEE and the PIC values, we adopted the phylogenetic hypothesis presented by Päivinen et al. (2005) for Finnish butterflies, so that details for the family Pieridae were updated from Braby et al. (2006) (see Appendix S2).”
• Tropical niche conservatism and the species richness gradient of North American butterflies (2009, background): “…origin of butterflies has received considerable recent attention (VaneWright, 2004; Braby et al., 2005; de Jong, 2007), in addition to phylogenetic analyses of particular groups (e.g. Hall et al., 2004; Braby et al., 2005, 2006; Nazari et al., 2006; Wahlberg, 2006), but there is little consensus.”
