“…Speyeria aglaja is distributed from Northern Africa over Europe and Russia to Southeast Asia, reaching as far north as Southern Lapland, whereas F. adippe 's northern distribution only extends to central Sweden (Fox et al, 2011; Franzén & Johannesson, 2007; Tolman & Lewington, 2012; Warren, 1995), and F. niobe only reaches southern Sweden (Eliasson et al, 2005; Reinhardt & Bolz, 2011; van Swaay & Warren, 1999). Further, these species differ in their degree of ecological generalism, dispersal abilities, habitat preferences and host plant use (Eliasson et al, 2005; Forster & Wohlfahrt, 1955; Fric et al, 2005; Higgins & Riley, 1970; Komonen et al, 2004; Öckinger et al, 2006; Polic et al, 2020; Pollard & Yates, 1994; Zima et al, 2013). Speyeria aglaja is a widespread and rather common species that occupies a wide range of habitats and can breed at lower temperatures than the other two fritillaries (Ellis et al, 2010; Zimmermann et al, 2009).…”

“…While the larvae of F. adippe and F. niobe only feed on Viola species, S. aglaja larvae have also been found foraging on Bistorta major and Persicaria spp., depending on their geographical location (Forster & Wohlfahrt, 1955; Fric et al, 2005; Higgins & Riley, 1970; Tolman & Lewington, 2012). According to their dispersal ability and to rankings based on “mobility indices” as assessed by butterfly experts, all three species are considered as intermediately mobile (Komonen et al, 2004; Öckinger et al, 2006; Pollard & Yates, 1994; Zima et al, 2013), although F. adippe has been reported to be more likely to engage in long‐distance dispersal of several kilometres than S. aglaja (Polic et al, 2020). These interspecific divergences could lead to different large‐scale genetic patterns among the species, despite them being phylogenetically close and exposed to similar environmental conditions and selection regimes.…”

“…are an enigmatic and challenging radiation of temperate species that spans the Holarctic region. These genera are associated with Viola larval food plants and have been the subject of numerous systematic (Warren, ; dos Passos & Grey, ; Simonsen, ; Dunford, ; McHugh et al ., ), morphological (Urbahn, ; Barth, ; Williams, ; Simonsen, , ; James, ; Zaman et al ., ) and ecological studies (Boggs, ; McCorkle & Hammond, ; Boggs & Ross, ; Kelly & Debinski, ; Bierzychudek et al ., ; Zimmermann et al ., ; James & Pelham, ; Zaman et al ., ), as well as the focus of recent conservation studies (Shepherd & Debinski, ; Salz & Fartmann, ; Schultz et al ., ; Zima et al ., ; Wells & Tonkyn, ), of which the references here are only a few. Despite this long history of study, a detailed understanding of the patterns and processes of this radiation is hampered by classification and systematic challenges.…”

Abstract. Diverse radiations of insects are often associated with adaptations to host plants, and well-resolved phylogenetic relationships are required to fully understand them. Palearctic Argynnis and related subgenera, together with North American Speyeria butterflies make up a radiation whose species hypotheses are confounded by shared wing colour patterns between sympatric populations of closely related recognized species. Previous studies of this group indicate that Speyeria is a lineage within Argynnis, but sampling in these studies has either involved too few Speyeria species or incomplete sampling of Argynnis species. Thus, no comprehensive phylogenetic analysis exists for all members that answers the question of monophyly of Speyeria, or other subgeneric taxa, and their relationship to Argynnis species. We completed a phylogenetic analysis of all North American Speyeria species and all but one species within Argynnis, using one mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase I, COI) and four nuclear genes [elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1 ), wingless (WG), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and ribosomal protein S5 (RPS5)]. The results indicate three major lineages within Argynnis s.l.: two Palearctic and one containing both Palearctic and Nearctic species. In summary, the phylogenetic analyses suggest the need for reorganization into three natural groups: Argynnis, Fabriciana and Speyeria. Within each of these genera the phylogenetic hypothesis indicates an evolutionary history marked by rapid diversification and potential extinction, followed by ongoing lineage sorting. The position of North American Speyeria is nested within the Palearctic lineages, which indicates that the radiation began in Asia and was fuelled by existing Viola diversity in North America. Dating analyses of Viola and Speyeria corroborate this hypothesis. The current North American Speyeria species are mixed on the tree, indicating a recent and ongoing radiation. These results provide needed clarity on the evolution of this group, which contains species of conservation concern.

“…We extracted DNA using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen). For the PCR (polymerase chain reaction), we used 9/11 microsatellite primers for A. adippe / A. niobe , respectively, 5/5 previously published (Zima et al, 2013), and 4/6 introduced for the first time here (Table S1). For both species, we prepared two multiplex PCRs (Table S2), each of total volume 10 μl, consisting of 5 μl Multiplex PCR Kit (Qiagen), a mix of primers (final concentration of each primer ranged from 0.15 to 0.3 μ m ), 1 μl of DNA extract, and filled with PCR‐grade water to the final reaction volume.…”

Perishing rich, expanding poor: Demography and population genetic patterns in two congeneric butterflies

In human-altered landscapes, specialist butterflies typically form spatially restricted populations, genetically differentiated due to dispersal restrictions. Generalists, in contrast, display minimum differentiation but high genetic diversity. While local-level actions suffice to conserve specialists and landscape-level actions are necessary for generalists, minimum information exists regarding conservation of species with intermediate features. We targeted two congeneric butterflies, the recently re-expanding Argynnis adippe and the strongly declining A. niobe, co-occurring in the pastoral landscape of the Carpathian Mountains, Czech Republic. We integrated species distribution models, mark-recapture and microsatellite analysis to compare their habitat requirements, adult demography, dispersal and genetic patterns, and expanded the genetic analysis across the Carpathian Arc and beyond to delimit spatial conservation units. In two mountain valleys, both species formed interconnected populations numbering thousands of individuals. Mobility patterns suggested the populations' interconnection across the Czech Carpathians. Genetic diversity was extremely poor in the nonthreatened A. adippe and moderate in the declining A. niobe. No population differentiation was detected within the Czech Carpathians (~1500 km 2 ). Low genetic diversity and no differentiation was preserved in A. adippe across East Central Europe, whereas in A. niobe, populations from Serbia were differentiated from the Carpathian Arc + Alps. The high adult mobility linked to low differentiation probably reflects the distribution of larval resources, historically widespread but sparse and currently declining for A. niobe (grazing-disturbed grounds), while currently increasing for A. adippe (abandonment scrub, disturbed woodlands). Units as large as entire mountain systems define population boundaries, and hence conservation management units, for both species.
