Genetic spatial structure in a butterfly metapopulation correlates better with past than present demographic structure.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2008

Orsini L, Corander J, Alasentie A, Hanski I

Abstract excerpt

The Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) has been studied in the Aland Islands in Finland since 1991, where it occurs as a classic metapopulation in a large network of 4000 dry meadows. Much ecological work has been conducted on this species, but population genetic studies have been hampered by paucity of suitable genetic markers. Here, using single nucleotide polymorphisms and microsatellites...
