Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 583-595, October 2024.We provide evidence of asymmetric gene flow from Melitaea phoebe to M. ornata and, especially, to M. pseudornata, for which gene flow may have affected a high proportion of its genome. Gene flow was not equally distributed along the genome: the Z chromosome showed patterns compatible with the large‐Z effect.

Range‐wide population genomic structure of the Karner blue butterfly, Plebejus (Lycaeides) samuelis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.The Karner blue butterfly, Plebejus (Lycaeides) samuelis, is an endangered, climate change‐vulnerable species that has undergone substantial historical habitat loss and population decline. We performed a range‐wide assessment of genomic diversity and found that Karner blue populations had high levels of inbreeding and lower genetic diversity than ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 17, September 2024.Abstract Replicated secondary contact zones can provide insights into the barriers to gene flow that are important during speciation and can reveal to which degree secondary contact may result in similar evolutionary outcomes. Here, we studied two secondary contact zones between highly differentiated Alpine butterflies of the genus Erebia using whole ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1575-1586, August 2024.Abstract Aim The distribution of within‐species lineages has been affected by Quaternary climate changes, and population differentiation has been influenced by species life history traits. We investigated whether the distribution of individual mitochondrial genetic lineages reflects the constituent species' traits.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 651-675, July 2024.A double star‐like pattern in the COI haplotype network of Erebia palarica suggests a demographic expansion from two ancestral populations in this Iberian montane endemic. Seven microsatellite markers revealed a pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) along the Cantabrian Mountains, as opposed to different levels of genetic structure found in western ...

Land-use simplification weakens the association between terrestrial producer and consumer diversity in Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Land-use change is one of the primary drivers of species loss, yet little is known about its effect on other components of biodiversity that may be at risk, such as local associations between trophic levels.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 295-305, June 2024.True pantropical butterflies are rare and require taxonomic investigation to establish genetic monophyly. Butterflies have spread via dispersal through land bridges rather than Gondwanan‐driven vicariance. Widespread butterfly taxa are typically habitat generalists, although life history traits that allow for large range sizes are not well established.
