Abstract:The large copper butterfly Lycaena dispar (Haworth, 1803) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), which is found across Europe and Asia, has been categorized as a near-threatened species (NT) in South Korea from 2012 mainly due to limited distribution.

In addition, the population genetic data of L. dispar, which is informative to evaluate its vulnerability, remains unknown. I… Show more
