The Glanville fritillary genome retains an ancient karyotype and reveals selective chromosomal fusions in Lepidoptera
Previous studies have reported that chromosome synteny in Lepidoptera has been well
conserved, yet the number of haploid chromosomes varies widely from 5 to 223. Here we …

Ecological and genetic basis of metapopulation persistence of the Glanville fritillary butterfly in fragmented landscapes
Ecologists are challenged to construct models of the biological consequences of habitat loss
and fragmentation. Here, we use a metapopulation model to predict the distribution of the …

Predictable allele frequency changes due to habitat fragmentation in the Glanville fritillary butterfly
Describing the evolutionary dynamics of now extinct populations is challenging, as their
genetic composition before extinction is generally unknown. The Glanville fritillary butterfly …

Effects of environment and genotype on dispersal differ across departure, transfer and settlement in a butterfly metapopulation
Active dispersal is driven by extrinsic and intrinsic factors at the three stages of departure,
transfer and settlement. Most empirical studies capture only one stage of this complex …
