Population biology and phenology of the colour polymorphic damselfly Ischnura elegans at its southern range limit in Cyprus

Abstract: 1. Geographically widespread species provide excellent opportunities to investigate how phenotypes change across large‐scale environmental gradients. Temperature is a fundamental environmental variable and an important determinant of insect fitness. However, field research is often geographically restricted, and typically concentrated in northern latitudes. Basic population biology and phenotypic clines in relation to temperature therefore remain poorly known across the entire geographic range, even in otherwi… Show more

“…There, the strong divergence of the mitochondrial haplotypes to those associated to the infection in Western Europe suggests that the population has remained uninfected potentially due to its geographic isolation. The population differ phenotypically in several aspects from other continental populations, particularly in terms of smaller average body size and deviant colour morph frequencies [70]. Although also geographically isolated, the island population on the Åland archipelago carries one unique haplotype that only differs by one nucleotide from the most common haplotype associated with wEle1 in Sweden, and is identical to the haplotype associated with wEle3 in mainland Finland (although based on one unique mitochondrial gene).…”
