| Abstract |
- Less transformed and managed grassland habitats in
Asia serve as a good frame of reference for studies on demographics and
ecological situations of grassland species in Europe. In this study,
using AFLPs (transposon insertion display), we compared the genetic
structures of populations of the endangered and highly specialised
scarce large blue (Phengaris teleius, Bergsträsser, 1779) butterfly from Europe (Germany, Poland, and Ukraine) and Asia (Siberia and Mongolia).
- There are no differences in levels of intra‐population genetic variability between European and Asian P. teleius
populations. Nevertheless, we found significantly higher genetic
differentiation (wider scattering) among European populations than among
Asian populations. All examined Eurasian populations were admixed,
except for those from the Bavarian region (Germany) where an atypical
genetic structure was observed for P. teleius. Individual
membership probabilities to a population were higher and more variable
among European populations than among Asian populations. Comparison of
genetic spatial structures revealed an isolation‐by‐distance effect in
both European and Asian populations. Genetic autocorrelation analysis
showed that significant dissimilarity among individuals first appeared
at a distance of 1800 km at Asian sites, but at only 400 km at European
sites.
- The observed P. teleius genetic structure
reveals substantial differences in the quality of connectivity among
European and Asian populations, which favour Asian populations. It
suggests that differences between European and Asian P. teleius
population genetic structures have the origin in differences in habitat
structures, emphasising the impact of habitat fragmentation on animal
movement in Europe.
