Each of us should pay special attention on one taxon group throughout the workshop, I got Butterflies (except lycaenids, thanks to Alan).

Butterflies of Borneo

Borneo is home to 956 species out of wich 10% are endemic to the island. From the butterflies that were observed and recorded during the field course, 20 species were selected to build up the phylogenetic relationship using the program Mesquite. The relationship shown below according to the characters that used.

To be more accurate have to use more characters (Used only six). Weight of the characters should consider when developing phylogenetic trees.

See the images of the listed species.
