Identifying units for conservation using molecular systematics: the cautionary tale of the Karner blue butterfly.
The federally endangered North American Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) and the closely related Melissa blue butterfly (L. m. melissa) can be distinguished based on life history and morphology. Western populations of L. m. samuelis share mitochondrial haplotypes with L. m. melissa populations, while eastern populations of L. m. samuelis have divergent haplotypes. Here we test...

The Karner blue butterfly (KBB), Lycaeides melissa samuelis, is a federally protected taxon whose relationship to the Melissa blue, Lycaeides melissa, has been a point of contention during the 66 years since the KBB was first described. Using a large population-genomic dataset and a model of population divergence with migration, we investigated the relationship between the KBB and L. melissa, a...

متن کاملHerbicide Effects on Host Plants of Karner Blue Butterfly and on Butterfly Development from Egg to Adult
Two studies examined the compatibility between herbicide release of red or jack pine plantations in Wisconsin and the maintenance of Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis), a federally listed endangered species. Wisconsin has some of the few remaining viable metapopulations of Karner blue butterfly, hereafter abbreviated as KBB. The habitats favored by KBB are also the sites well su...
