Grassland butterflies are considered representative indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem health. Their dramatic decline caused by habitat destruction, intensifying agriculture and global warming has prompted concern for conservation. While ecological indices of butterflies have been documented, there is a lack of genomic resources relative to the biological importance of this group. Here, we report, first whole-transcriptomic resource for Fabriciana nerippe, a brush-footed butterfly member that is endangered in Korea. Approximately, 241.3 million clean reads were obtained from paired-end Illumina sequencing of adult whole-body RNA. The de novo assembly resulted in 114 405 unigenes with length ranging from 133 to 33 218 bp. We found 41 868 assembled unigenes homologous to sequences in locally curated PANM-DB (Protostome DB). We assigned gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) orthology terms to 18 085 and 5779 unigenes, respectively. InterProScan predicted 6691 protein domains for the assembled unigene sequences, with the reverse transcriptase and zinc finger domains found to be the most predominant. A total of 315 282 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified from the assembled unigenes, when considering dinucleotide to octanucleotide repeats with a minimum of three repeat units. AT/AT, AAT/ATT, and AAAT/ATTT represented the most prominent SSR repeat types in the transcriptome. The unigene annotation profile and microsatellites generated in the study can serve as a reference resource for closely related species and gene functional analysis studies. Our data can be utilized to study ecological drift and loss of the species, consequently leading to better protection of the population.

“…nerippe (Felder & Felder, 1862), basionym: Argynnis nerippe (Felder, 1862), is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae (brush-foots). It is a cold-temperate butterfly known throughout Korea (incredibly dominant in the Island Guleopdo), but in recent years the population of this species has declined in grasslands (Park et al 2010;Kim et al 2012). The species is now found in restricted locations, especially in Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do.…”

Butterflies are expedient biodiversity indicators of a healthy environment. As virtuous pollinators, they provide environmental and economic benefits to the agricultural and natural ecosystem. The global loss of the butterfly community, especially in tropical regions, is causing irreparable damage to the ecological landscape. This decline in population is due to habitat degradation, forest succession, loss of symbiotic relations, economic loss due to flooding, forest development plans, low grassland area, global warming, and reforestation. Moreover, the limited information on the molecular resources of butterflies impedes informed conservation planning. The Threatened Species Initiative (TSI) of Korea has started to utilize the benefits of transcriptome‐guided discovery of molecular resources of a few butterfly species, and a few others are in the pipeline. The cataloging of new genes and genetic markers provides the possibility to promote selective utilization of fitness traits for adaptation of the species to the wild and a newer habitat. In this review, we assessed the versatility of whole‐transcriptome information of the Korean threatened butterfly species, such as the lycaenid Protantigius superans and Spindasis takanosis, the Nymphalid butterfly, Fabriciana nerippe, and the Papilionid species Parnassius bremeri. The schema employed under TSI, including the sequencing and downstream bioinformatics pipeline, could act as a reference for research outside of Korean butterflies. While the molecular resources are available to be exploited, their utilization for conservation is still in its infancy. It is important to synthesize these studies together to catalyze further conservation work applying genomics approaches.
