The last days of Aporia crataegi (L.) in Britain: evaluating genomic erosion in an extirpated butterfly

This study compares genomic erosion in an extinct British butterfly and a stable species, finding similar heterozygosity loss despite different population sizes and suggesting inbreeding and deleterious mutations as decline indicators.

The dirty north: Evidence for multiple colonisations and Wolbachia infections shaping the genetic structure of the widespread butterfly Polyommatus icarus in the British Isles

This study investigates the genetic structure of Polyommatus icarus butterflies in the British Isles, finding evidence for multiple colonisations and Wolbachia infections shaping their mtDNA and genomic diversity.
