15-411: Cumbre is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae . Recognised species in the genus Cumbre include: This Hesperiinae -related article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Skipper (butterfly) Skippers are a group of butterflies placed in the family Hesperiidae within the order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). They were previously placed in

30-425: A crochet hook , while the typical butterflies have club-like tips to their antennae, and moth-butterflies have feathered or pectinate (comb-shaped) antennae similar to moths . Skippers also have generally stockier bodies and larger compound eyes than the other two groups, with stronger wing muscles in the plump thorax , in this resembling many moths more than the other two butterfly lineages do. Unlike, for example,

45-665: A blackish streak or patch of scent scales on their forewings. Many species of skippers look very alike. For example, some species in the genera Amblyscirtes , Erynnis (duskywings), and Hesperia (branded skippers) cannot currently be distinguished in the field even by experts. The only reliable method of telling them apart involves dissection and microscopic examination of the genitalia , which have characteristic structures that prevent mating except between conspecifics . The roughly 3500 species of skippers are now classified in these subfamilies: Conspecific Homo sapiens has many characteristics that show

60-515: A code or general understanding, but adhere to social standards, hierarchies, technologies, complex system of regulations and must maintain many dimensions of relationships in order to survive. This complexity of language and the dependence on culture is uniquely human. Intraspecific behaviors and variations exist within Homo sapiens which adds to the complexity of culture and language. Intraspecific variations are differences in behavior or biology within

75-581: A genetic adaptation unique to humans is the gene apolipoprotein E (APOE4) on chromosome 19 . While chimpanzees may have the APOE gene , the study "The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene appears functionally monomorphic in chimpanzees" shows that the diversity of the APOE gene in humans in unique. The polymorphism in APOE is only in humans as they carry alleles APOE2, APOE3, APOE4; APOE4 which allows human to break down fatty protein and eat more protein than their ancestors

90-456: A separate superfamily, Hesperioidea ; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea , the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with

105-410: A single species . These may include: Two or more organisms , populations , or taxa are conspecific if they belong to the same species . Where different species can interbreed and their gametes compete, the conspecific gametes take precedence over heterospecific gametes. This is known as conspecific sperm precedence , or conspecific pollen precedence in plants. The antonym of conspecificity

120-648: A species. Variation in genetic expression of race and gender and complexities within society lead to social constructs such as roles. These add to power dynamics and hierarchies within the already multifaceted society. Characteristics may further be described as being interspecific , intraspecific , and conspecific . Interspecificity (literally between/among species ), or being interspecific , describes issues between organisms of separate species . These may include: Intraspecificity (literally within species ), or being intraspecific , describes behaviors, biochemical variations and other issues within members of

135-470: Is also a genomic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease . There are many behavioral characteristics that are specific to Homo sapiens in addition to childbirth. Specific and elaborate tool creation and use and language are other areas. Humans do not simply communicate; language is essential to their survival and complex culture. This culture must be learned, is variable and highly malleable to fit distinct social parameters. Humans do not simply communicate with

150-513: The Arctiinae , though, their wings are usually small in proportion to their bodies. Some have larger wings, but only rarely as large in proportion to the body as in other butterflies. When at rest, skippers keep their wings usually angled upwards or spread out, and only rarely fold them up completely. The wings are usually well-rounded with more or less sharply tipped forewings. Some have prominent hindwing tails, and others have more angled wings;

165-459: The Neotropics, but recent phylogenetic analyses suggest the traditional Papilionoidea are paraphyletic , thus the subfamilies should be reorganised to reflect true cladistic relationships. Collectively, these three groups of butterflies share many characteristics, especially in the egg , larval , and pupal stages. Nevertheless, skippers have the antennae clubs hooked backward like

180-435: The biological specificity in the form of behavior and morphological traits. Morphologically, humans have an enlarged cranial capacity and more gracile features in comparison to other hominins . The reduction of dentition is a feature that allows for the advantage of adaptability in diet and survival. As a species, humans are culture dependent and much of human survival relies on the culture and social relationships. With

195-415: The evolutionary change of the reduction of the pelvis and enlarged cranial capacity; events like childbirth are dependent on a safe, social setting to assist in the childbirth; a birthing mother will seek others when going into labor. This is a uniquely human experience, as other animals are able to give birth on their own and often choose to isolate themselves to do so to protect their young. An example of

210-562: The greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America. Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea . The third and rather small butterfly superfamily is the moth-butterflies (Hedyloidea), which are restricted to

225-476: The skippers' basic wing shapes vary not much by comparison to the Papilionoidea, though. Most have a fairly drab coloration of browns and greys; some are more boldly black-and-white. Yellow, red, and blue hues are less often found, but some largely brown species are quite richly colored, too. Green colors and metallic iridescence are generally absent. Sexual dichromatism is present in some; males may have
