Mitochondrial DNA signature for range-wide populations of Bicyclus anynana suggests a rapid expansion from recent refugia.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

de Jong Maaike A, Wahlberg Niklas, van Eijk Marleen, Brakefield Paul M, Zwaan Bas J

Abstract excerpt

This study investigates the genetic diversity, population structure and demographic history of the afrotropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Samples from six wild populations covering most of the species range from Uganda to South Africa were compared for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit gene (COI). Molecular diversity indices show overall high mtDNA diversity for the populations,...
