To study factors limiting Pyrgus armoricanus' distribution, translocation experiments were carried out within and beyond this butterflies' northern range margin, the populations being monitored for 8 years since. Pyrgus armoricanus was able to survive in two sites north of its current range, with population growth being correlated with patch area and ...

Genetic structure of Parnassius mnemosyne (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) populations in the Carpathian Basin [PDF]
The pattern of genetic variation in a butterfly species depends on the past history of the given species and also on recent evolutionary processes affecting its populations. The aim of the present study was (i) to analyse the enzyme polymorphism in the Clouded Apollo populations of the Carpathian Basin to reveal the contemporary pattern of their ...

Enhancing dietary specialization metrics in observational studies of wild animal populations
Abstract Studies of intraspecific dietary variation can greatly enrich our view of a species’ niche and role in the ecosystem, particularly when species with broad diets are found to be composed of generalist and specialist individuals. However, the current framework for quantifying dietary specialization leaves certain standards unformalized and is ...

Parnassius apollo nevadensis: identification of recent population structure and source–sink dynamics [PDF]
Population persistence depends in many cases on gene flow between local populations. Parnassius apollo nevadensis is an endemic subspecies of Apollo butterfly in the Sierra Nevada (southern Spain), whose populations are distributed in discrete patches at
