Lack of genetic differentiation among widely spaced subpopulations of a butterfly with home range behaviour.
Heredity - 1 Feb 2001
Kronforst M R, Fleming T H
Abstract excerpt
We examine seven geographically separate subpopulations of Heliconius charithonia, a butterfly with well-documented home range behaviour, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, for genetic differentiation using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. These subpopulations exhibit little genetic variation (percent polymorphic loci = 27, average heterozygosity = 0.103) especially in comparison to populations of the same and...
