  • DNA Barcode Reference Library for Iberian Butterflies
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN DNA barcode reference library for Iberian butterflies enables a continental-scale preview of Received: 11 January 2015 Accepted: 11 May 2015 potential cryptic diversity Published: 24 July 2015 Vlad Dincă1,2, Sergio Montagud3, Gerard Talavera1,4,5, Juan Hernández-Roldán6, Miguel L. Munguira6, Enrique García-Barros6, Paul D. N. Hebert2 & Roger Vila1 How common are cryptic species - those overlooked because of their morphological similarity? Despite its wide-ranging implications for biology and conservation, the answer remains open to debate. Butterflies constitute the best-studied invertebrates, playing a similar role as birds do in providing models for vertebrate biology. An accurate assessment of cryptic diversity in this emblematic group requires meticulous case-by-case assessments, but a preview to highlight cases of particular interest will help to direct future studies. We present a survey of mitochondrial genetic diversity for the butterfly fauna of the Iberian Peninsula with unprecedented resolution (3502 DNA barcodes for all 228 species), creating a reliable system for DNA-based identification and for the detection of overlooked diversity. After compiling available data for European butterflies (5782 sequences, 299 species), we applied the Generalized Mixed Yule-Coalescent model to explore potential cryptic diversity at a continental scale. The results indicate that 27.7% of these species include from two to four evolutionary significant units (ESUs), suggesting that cryptic biodiversity may be higher than expected for one of the best-studied invertebrate groups and regions. The ESUs represent important units for conservation, models for studies of evolutionary and speciation processes, and sentinels for future research to unveil hidden diversity.

The temperature was a pleasant 21°C and, before long, the group had passed through security and met outside the arrivals building. After a short walk to the minibus we headed off through the fields towards Mauzac on the banks of the River Dordogne. En route we saw our first black kites and an occasional kestrel. We parked at our accommodation, the Hotel Le Barrage, where Amanda, the hotel manager, greeted us, gave out room keys and helped us with the suitcases. A group member who arrived a day early was also there to meet us. After everyone had settled into their rooms, Amanda provided tea and cakes in the restaurant for our introductory meeting. Corine and I introduced the holiday and plans for the week ahead, whilst Amanda introduced the hotel and time tabling for meals and so on. Afterwards we had a short circular walk beside the river and canal before dinner. From the hotel it is a short walk over the canal and up to the dam. There were black kites flying and many hirundines about overhead such as swift, house and crag martins and swallow.

It is based on a concatenated alignment of the mitochondrial gene COI and up to 11 nuclear gene fragments, using Bayesian inference of phylogeny. To avoid analytical biases that could result from our region-focus sampling, our European tree was grafted upon a global genus- level backbone butterfly phylogeny for analyses. In addition to a consensus tree, we provide the posterior distribution of trees and the fully-concatenated alignment for future analyses.

    Fifth Meeting of Partners Recording and monitoring butterflies across Europe ANL conference centre, Laufen, Germany 29 November – 2 December 2017 Partner summaries (alphabetical order by country) In association with 1 ARMENIA Protection of Polyommatus myrrha cinyraea in Armenia: a summary Karen Aghababyan, Butterfly Conservation Armenia Introduction Polyommatus myrrha is distributed in the Anatolian province in Turkey and Zangezur Mountains of Transcaucasia. The last area, which includes two countries – Armenia and Nakhichevan, is inhabited by endemic subspecies cinyraea described by Nekrutenko & Effendi, 1979. The subspecies is known from just two populations in the world: one is located in Armenia and another in Nakhichevan. The species is found in rocky subalpine grasslands at 2200-2500 m a.s.l. The host plant of the species is very specific Cicer species, which grows only in specific screes on dry grassland slopes. Polyommatus cinyraea begins flight in mid-July and is on wing until early August, when males move down to the water, while females keep staying in vicinity of the host plant. Population The species was found in Armenia in 1997. The area was visited regularly, which allows understanding of distribution range of the species and its relative abundance, however the information is insufficient for the calculation of its population trend. The total distribution range of the current population of Polyommatus cinyraea is less than a hectare. The abundance of the species is relatively low and demonstrates a significant decline, especially in 2017. The small population of its host plant is also decreasing. It should be mentioned that the host plant appears to be very capricious, and prefers only screes made by fairly small stones; the number of such screes is very limited.

  • Chapter 3. Assessment of Unreplicated Restoration Attempts Using Terrestrial Arthropods
    Chapter 3. Assessment of Unreplicated Restoration Attempts Using Terrestrial Arthropods Introduction Ecological restoration properly should have the goal of recreating the entirety of an ecosystem, including the invertebrate fauna (Longcore et al. 1999). The recoverty of the invertebrate fauna on restored sites has been used to assess the performance of restorations (Andersen and Sparling 1997; Greenslade and Majer 1993; Jansen 1997; Parmenter and MacMahon 1990; Peters 1997; Williams 1993). Such attempts, however, depend on the ability to compare the site to reference conditions adjacent to or near the site if the previous condition of the site being restored is unknown (White and Walker 1997). Reference sites are used to describe the conditions — species composition, abundance, diversity — of the natural habitat that is the goal of a restoration project. Comparison with such conditions allows an evaluation of the progress of the restoration. The site for the measurement of these conditions is usually not the restoration site itself, as it is presumably already degraded unless surveys prior to degradation were made for some reason. Rather, it is most often a nearby undisturbed habitat. The reference site may be measured simultaneously with the restoration with which it is to be compared, or measurements may be taken and established during previous years. For the purpose of defining reference conditions for arthropods, the high yearly variation in abundance exhibited by this phylum in areas of Mediterranean climate recommends where possible that comparisons of 72 arthropod communities at restorations and reference sites be conducted with data collected during the same period, under the same climatic conditions.

Abstract. We report here the first molecular evidence for the occurrence of Aricia artaxerxes (Fabricius, 1793) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in the Czech Republic. In Central Europe, this species may co-occur with its more common sibling, Aricia agestis (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775). We sequenced the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 of darkly-coloured, putative A. artaxerxes specimens in the Czech Republic. We confirmed A. artaxerxes only from a limestone area in South Bohemia (Vyšenské kopce National Nature Reserve), which is probably the only locality of the species in the Czech Republic. This area is located at ca. 550 m A.S.L., showing that the elevation overlap with A. agestis could be high in Central Europe. Other surveyed individ- uals were confirmed as A. agestis, with a minimum p-distance of 1.98% between the two species. The South Bohemian area of occurrence is probably highly isolated (approx. 190 km) from localities of the species in neighbouring countries, highlighting the conservation importance of the A.

Taking the road for the centre of Trieste along the Costiera we stopped at the Galleria naturale for views across the Gulf of Trieste and towards the Slovenian and Croatian coast of Alpine Swifts above and below us Santa Croce. Passing through the centre of Trieste, the city looked very fine in the sunshine with the smell of roasting coffee in the air close to the Illy headquarters, the journey towards the hotel often being interrupted by sound of Nightingales beside the road. We arrived at destination and ate a very nice meal at Oprtalj with Scops Owls & Nightingales calling at the hotel on our return. Day 2 – 25th April After breakfast, we started the day a little later than usual at 09:30 with a walk around the hotel grounds which are excellent for wildlife of all kinds. Even this early the weather was very warm in the sunshine and Adriatic Lizard Orchids already shooting up flower spikes. Plenty of butterflies were already on the wing and both Nightingale and Golden Oriole were heard.
