Dataset Description
Dorsal full body images of subspecies of Heliconius Erato and Heliconius Melpomene (18 subspecies total). 960 images with 320 specimens Each image is a low-resolution ("images were then cropped and resized to a height of 64 pixels (maintaining the original image aspect ratio and padded to 140 pixels wide) Hoyal-Cuthill 2019 ) photographed in RGB Low resolution images were then transformed using AccuityView (doi: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/AcuityView/index.html, and estimates of accuity from: http://www.empiricalimaging.com/knowledge-base/acuityview/, https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.ento.42.1.147 Users should know that since Land 1997, more recent estimates of insect visual accuity have been created. There are (3 images of each specimen Original/ Bird transformed/ Butterfly transformed). This data represents a subset subset of images processed from Cuthill, et. al. dataset available at doi:10.5061/dryad.2hp1978.
Only Dorsal Images
Note: dorsal_images_cuthill
contains processed dorsal images from the original Cuthill dataset (all 1,234 specimens).

Data Fields
In Hoyal_Cuthill_GoldStandard_metadata_cleaned.csv
:
NHM_Specimen
: Natural History Museum Specimen numberImage_filename
: filename of image of specimenView
: whether ventral or dorsal view of specimen (all dorsal)Species

: subspecies of the specimenSex
: sex of the specimen (male or female)addit_taxa_info
: additional taxonomic information (subspecies)type_stat
: [More Information Needed] 'ST', 'PT', or 'HT', but mostly nullhybrid_stat

: latitude where specimen was collectedlon
: longitude where specimen was collectedspeciesdesig
: species designation, first initial of species '.' subspecies (eg., 'm. rosina')
Train_Test_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv
has three additional columns:
Image_filename_png
: filename of (png) image of specimen,dorsal_images_cuthill/
+<Image_filename_png>
is the filepath for the processed dorsal imagesubset
: whether this is part of the training or test set (train
ortest
)filepath
: the filepath for the train or test image
Acuity_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv
also has Image_filename_png
and subset
, but subset
references the bird and butterfly acuity training and test sets. Additionally, it has columns:
bird_filepath
: the filepath for the bird acuity version of the imagebutterfly_filepath
: the filepath for the butterfly acuity version of the image
Data Splits
There are 250 images in each training set and 70 in each test set.
RGB training images are in train
folder and testing are in test
.
For bird and butterfly acuities, their respective training and test images are in the train_bird
(train_butterfly
) and test_bird
(test_butterfly
) folders.
All of these folders are further subdivided by the subspecies. Filepaths to access these images are provided in Train_Test_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv
and Acuity_Curated_GoldStandard_Hoyal_Cuthill.csv
, respectively.
Dataset Creation
Processing steps included:
- Hybrid Separation
- Label Correction
- Removal of subspecies with no mimic pairs
- Make background uniform across all images
- Make image square via padding
Curation Rationale
This dataset was curated for training a model to classify different species of Heliconius Butterflies and to take into account mimicry between species and acuity of the observer (bird, butterfly, or human/other). The original data (Cuthill et al 2019) had misclassified species/subspecies and some locality/ collection sites were outside the known range of the butterflies. It also contained hybrid and aberrant samples, that had the potential to muddle classification results. To prevent this, the data was further refined by several Heliconius experts to remove hybrid and aberrant samples. Lastly, bird and butterfly acuities were added to provide another level of analysis using AccuityView and estimates of observer accuity.

Annotations
Annotation process
The original data has some misclassified species/subspecies, and had multiple hybrid samples. These samples were removed by hand by OM, CL, JM, KK. Some localities were outside the known range of the butterflies, and were removed using QGIS and known sub species ranges.

Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
N/A
Discussion of Biases
Biased towards species and subspecies within Heliconius. Focused on Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene
Other Known Limitations
No genetic data available.
Non-uniform distribution of subspecies (imbalanced).
