Abstract:Closely related species of butterfly sampled from southern suture zones in North Amer-1 ica exhibit a continuous pattern of gene flow and population difference measures (index 2 values) for autosomes, but not for the Z chromosome; When populations are compared 3 through their Z chromosomes, index values obtained from samples of the same species are 4 separated from those of closely related species by a gap of "missing" values, suggesting a 5 discrete "on-off" criterion for species delimitation. Here, we explor… Show more
