Abstract excerpt
Genetic divergence along elevational gradients between mainland and island populations provides an opportunity to test the island genetic erosion model, which predicts reduced genetic diversity and increased differentiation in island populations. We examined two moth species, a geometrid moth (Alcis angulifera) and an erebid moth (Hydrillodes morosa), sampled along elevational gradients on Mt. Jirisan (mainland)...
