Abstract excerpt
Surveys of allozyme allele frequency and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation were employed to test historical biogeographical hypotheses on the origin and unique distribution of the synchronized biennial, high-altitude butterflies of the Oeneis chryxus complex in western North America. Populations of O. c. stanislaus and O. ivallda from the central and northern Sierra Nevada are indistinguishable by use...
