“…Surprisingly both allelic richness and expected heterozygosity are higher in Baza than the mean values of the populations sampled in Sierra Nevada. The values for expected heterozygosity are very similar to those calculated for other non‐endangered butterflies, ranging from 0.46 to 0.82 (Fauvelot et al ., ; Vila et al ., ; Saarinen et al ., ), and other Parnassius sp. populations studied with microsatellite loci (Keyghobadi et al ., , ; Meglécz et al ., ; Petenian et al ., ; expected heterozygosity between 0.22 and 0.95).…”

Parnassius apollo filabricus is a subspecies of apollo (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) restricted to the Sierra de Baza‐Filabres range in southeastern Spain that has become increasingly rare in the last decades, disappearing from most of its known locations. In this article, we calculate both census and effective population size of a local population discovered in 2009 that occupies c. 30 ha. After 2 years of capture–mark–recapture work we estimate a population size of about 100 individuals. Genetic variation was characterised using 9 microsatellite markers and 29 individuals. Effective population size was estimated from 13 microsatellites. The studied population is strongly differentiated from the nearby Sierra Nevada apollo populations, and its expected heterozygosity and allelic richness were higher than the average value for Sierra Nevada. Genetic diversity of the population is not as low as expected by its small size, which points out to a recent population decline. We discuss the implications of these results for the conservation of the species.

“…In contrast, phylogeography in the Western Carpathians remains poorly studied. Although several studies have addressed the phylogeographic history and re-colonization routes of various lepidopteran species in west European mountain systems, for example in the Alps (Von Reumont et al 2012;Louy et al 2014;Simonsen and Huemer 2014) or in the Pyrenees (Vila et al 2009), no studies deal with elucidating those in the Western Carpathian region.…”

The refugial history and postglacial re‐colonization routes of Western Carpathian insects are insufficiently understood. Therefore, we investigated the spatio‐genetic structure (phylogeography) of Western Carpathian populations of Erebia euryale (Esper, 1805) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) and inferred their colonization routes over the postglacial period. Our results provide new insights into the phylogeography and origin of Erebia euryale in the rarely studied region of the Western Carpathian Mountains. Their phylogeography, including glacial refugia and Pleistocene expansion routes, was reconstructed based on two mitochondrial (COI and CR) and three nuclear markers (CAD, MDH and IDH). Statistical parsimony networks showed the following geographic coherences: (1) populations from Romania and the Bukovské Mountains (Kremenec) grouped together; (2) a Čergov group containing populations only from the Čergov Mountains; (3) a Volovské Mountains group with populations from Kojšovská hoľa and Slovak Paradise grouped together, most likely due to the lack of geographic isolation between the areas; (4) haplotypes characterized from the Volovské Mountains populations were widespread. Comparisons of Western Carpathian E. euryale COI‐haplotypes with haplotypes from the Southern Carpathians and Balkans suggest that the refugial areas were located in south‐eastern Europe in the Balkan region and Southern Carpathians. We also hypothesize possible central European contact zones in Slovakia for E. euryale in the Western Carpathians. Our results indicate that the Western Carpathians could have served as one of the contact zones between Eastern and Western populations, and additionally as an extra refugium in the southern part of the Volovské Mountains for populations also occurring in Czech mountain regions.

“…Unfortunately, it is often difficult to develop them for species of Lepidoptera (Meglécz & Solignac, 1998;Nève & Meglécz, 2000;Zhang, 2004;Meglécz et al, 2004;Habel et al, 2008;Schroeder et al, 2009). Next to very low microsatellite cloning efficiencies, often multiple copies of microsatellite sequences exist with similar flanking regions and null alleles are also frequent (Meglécz & Solignac, 1998;Nève & Meglécz, 2000;Meglécz et al, 2007;Zhang, 2004;Vila et al, 2009). In this study two different microsatellite screening procedures, processed in two independent laboratories, were used.…”

Abstract. Six microsatellite markers were developed for the larch budmoth Zeiraphera diniana Guénée 1845, using two enrichment protocols. The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 15 per locus and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.09 to 0.98 for the 69 individuals genotyped. Using these markers significant genetic differentiation between one population from Poland and samples from Alpine populations in France and Switzerland (overall FST = 0.0298) was detected. However, the two Alpine samples did not differ significantly. These microsatellite markers are valuable tools for studying the population genetics of Zeiraphera diniana.
