“…As shown by our compiled data (Table 1), modeling studies can be performed using different methods, such as estimating cline parameters (Mallet, 1986;Mallet et al, 1990;Meier et al, 2021), using species distribution modeling (Ryan et al, 2018;Marabuto et al, 2023), simulating demographic scenarios and times of divergence (Dasmahapatra et al, 2010;Capblancq et al, 2015Capblancq et al, , 2019, or testing associations between phenotypic diversity and spatial landscape (Rosser et al, 2021). While simulations have the advantage of not requiring sampling across multiple time frames and/or locations, which is often financially and logistically consuming (Buggs, 2007;Wielstra, 2019), it should be noted that models can miss important variables and sometimes depend on scarce and/or dubious occurrence data, or can include erroneous or biased prior assumptions (Merow et al, 2013;Wisz et al, 2013;Duputié et al, 2014;Guillera-Arroita et al, 2015;Marabuto et al, 2023).…”

Evaluating whether hybrid zones are stable or mobile can provide novel insights for evolution and conservation biology. Butterflies exhibit high sensitivity to environmental changes and represent an important model system for the study of hybrid zone origins and maintenance. Here, we review the literature exploring butterfly hybrid zones, with a special focus on their spatiotemporal dynamics and the potential mechanisms that could lead to their movement or stability. We then compare different lines of evidence used to investigate hybrid zone dynamics and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Our goal with this review is to reveal general conditions associated with the stability or mobility of butterfly hybrid zones by synthesizing evidence obtained using different types of data sampled across multiple regions and spatial scales. Finally, we discuss spatiotemporal dynamics in the context of a speciation/divergence continuum, the relevance of hybrid zones for conservation biology, and recommend key topics for future investigation.
