The range of hosts exploited by a parasite is determined several factors, including host availability, infectivity and exploitability. Each these can be the target natural selection on both parasite, which will determine local outcome interactions, potentially lead to coevolution. However, geographical variation in use specificity has rarely been investigated. Maculinea (= Phengaris ) butterflies are brood parasites Myrmica ants that patchily distributed across Palæarctic have studied...
The taxonomic status of Alcon Blues living in Central and Western Europe (conventionally: Maculinea alcon rebeli) is quite confused. Some authors distinguish them as separate species the M. group, while others consider subspecies or simply ecological forms. Our aim was to study pattern genetic differentiation among several populations these taxa with reference their position. Imagoes were collected from 27 localities between 1999 2003. Samples originated four regions: northern Hungary,...
The present study aimed to analyse the level of genetic variation in eastern Central European (Slovenia, Hungary, and Romania/Transylvania) populations Large Blues (Maculinea) pattern differentiation both between within species. One objective was compare two disputed species (Maculinea alcon Maculinea rebeli) with that among other Imagos were collected from 23 localities Europe 2002. Enzyme polymorphism analysed using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Fourteen enzyme loci studied all...
Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use ecosystem resources. The flexibility taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for end-users concepts. Users need standardised continuously harmonised reference systems, as well high-quality complete data sets, but these are generally lacking non-specialists. solution is dynamic, expertly curated web-based tools. Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure...
The Scarce Large Blue (Maculinea teleius) is an endangered butterfly throughout Europe due to its special life-cycle and habitat loss.Our aims were describe the microhabitats available this butterfly, test what factors influence presence density of M. teleius adults investigate relationship between host ant species teleius.The vicinities eight fens sampled, where there are four types for butterfly: Narrowleaf Cattail (Typha angustifolia), Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), Marsh...
Abstract. 1. Worldwide extinction of species due to habitat loss and degradation can be recognised among butterflies pronouncedly. Therefore, conservation biologists devote special attention identify the most important ecological factors affecting distribution survival butterflies. These efforts have been dominated by landscape‐scale studies, although variation in quality at smaller spatial scales may crucial importance. This applies for highly specialised Maculinea species, which usually do...
