The Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Apollo Butterfly Parnassius apollo, a Flagship Species for Conservation Biology. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2021 Abstract Conservation genomics has made dramatic improvements over the past decade, leveraging the power of genomes to infer diverse parameters central to conservation management questions. However, much of this effort has focused upon vertebrate species, despite insects providing similar flagship status with the added benefit of smaller

Habitat Loss and Other Threats to the Survival of Parnassius apollo (Linnaeus, 1758) in Serbia [PDF]
InsectsThe cessation of traditional mountain grazing has emerged as a principal driver of habitat degradation and the local extinction of Parnassius apollo (Linnaeus, 1758) in Serbia. While previous studies have cited multiple contributing factors, our research

Intraspecific variation in sex-biased dispersal of a threatened ecotone butterfly between forest patches in a mosaic landscape [PDF]
Scientific ReportsForest patches are vital for saving biodiversity in fragmented temperate agricultural landscapes. They support threatened species, e.g. the charismatic Clouded Apollo butterfly, Parnassius mnemosyne, which lives at forest-meadow edges as it requires ...

A lack of Wolbachia-specific DNA in samples from apollo butterfly (Parnassius apollo, Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) individuals with deformed or reduced wings. [PDF]
J Appl Genet, 2016 Various insects contain maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria which can cause reproductive alterations, modulation of some physiological responses (like immunity, heat shock response, and oxidative stress response), and resistance to viral ...
