	abstract = {Distributions of danaine butterfly species and associated mimetic patterns were compared among fifteen archipelagos of the tropical Pacific Ocean, and within five major archipelagos (the Bismarcks, Fiji, East and West Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu). Using both simple and stepwise linear regression analysis, variation in the total number of danaine species and number of mimetic patterns was assessed with respect to island size, isolation and elevation. Relative to interarchipelago distributions, the distribution of danaine species and number of mimetic patterns on islands within archipelagos exhibited less dependence upon interisland distance and island area. Geographical features influencing the number of mimetic patterns were similar to those of danaines as a whole. Analysis of residuals from stepwise linear regression suggested that factors influencing danaine distributions were different from those for nondanaine butterflies. This result is consistent with the hypothesis of enhancement of danaine species establishment through Mullerian mimicry, although other factors such as host plant availability and similar habitat use may also be important.},

	abstract = {Butterfly distributions on 26 tropical Pacific archipelagos were analysed to examine the effects of geography on diversity and endemism. The total butterfly fauna for each archipelago was divided into continental (found also on continental areas), Pacific (found within more than one archipelago but not ourside of the study area), and endemic species (restricted to a single archipelago). Numbers and proportions of each species were related to eight geographic variable by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Total  area of an archipelago and distance from other land masses were important predictors of the number of species within an archipelago. Proportions of butterfly species in each category were related differently to the geographic variables, with endemism being promoted by the number of large islands within an archipelago. Relative to birds, butterflies have been less successful in colonizing remore archipelagos and have much lower levels of endemism. Even if colonization is successful, butterflies speciation may be constrained by the mechanics of coevolution with available host plants.},

	abstract = {Henderson Island is an example of a raised coral atoll, and as such supports a much more diverse biota than geographically similar low atolls. It is also, due to its remote location, largely undisturbed by the activities of humans. It is therfore unique in the Pacific Ocean, and comparable to Aldabra in the Indian Ocean. Biogeographically it is also interesting as it is amongst the most easterly islands of the Indo-West Pacific region, and has been largely colonized by species dispesing from island to island across the ocean from the west. New and extenive collections of insects were made in 1991. Although not fully identified yet, it is clear that the fauna is depauperate, with only about 180 species know to date. Despite its easterly ocation almost all species are derived from the west, and much of the fauna is likely to be indigenous. The most diverse orders are the Lepidoptera (c. 53 spp.), Coleoptera (c. 38 spp.), Diptera (c. 37 spp.), Hymenoptera (c. 21 spp.), Homoptera (c.14 spp.) and Heteroptera (4 spp.). Of particular interest are the weevils, Heteroptera and Homoptera which exhibit considerable endemism with perhaps some examples of intra-island radiation. Although depauperate. Henderson supports a much larger insect fauna than that of nearby Ducie Atoll (total known insect fauna = 15 spp).},
