Whole-genomes from the extinct Xerces Blue butterfly reveal low diversity and long-term population decline

2024-01-31

Abstract excerpt

The Xerces Blue (Glaucopsyche xerces) is considered to be the first butterfly to become extinct at global scale in historical times. It was notable for its chalky lavender wings with conspicuous white spots on the ventral wings. The last individuals were collected in their restricted habitat, in the dunes near the Presidio military base in San Francisco, in 1941. To explore the demographic history of this iconic b...
