SIMPLE CONNECTIVITY MEASURES IN SPATIAL ECOLOGY
TLDR
Compared simple connectivity measures in their ability to predict colonization events in two large and good-quality empirical data sets are compared, it is concluded that the simplicity of a nearest neighbor measure is not an adequate compensation for poor performance.

An experimental study of migration in the Glanville fritillary butterfly Melitaea cinxia
TLDR
Results on emigration suggest that conserving an isolated butterfly population is more successful in an area with physical barriers to migration than in an open landscape, and the significance of nectar sources and patch size in successful colonization of empty habitat patches.

Metapopulation structure and migration in the butterfly Melitaea cinxia
TLDR
The modelling results demonstrate that it is possible to have empty habitat patches in a metapopulation in spite of frequent migration, as the butterfly M. cinxia was observed, and support the assumptions of structured metAPopulation models.

Long-term metapopulation study of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia): survey methods, data management, and long-term population trends
TLDR
The long-term observational study of the Glanville fritillary butterfly has stimulated the development of metapopulation models and provided an opportunity to test model predictions, and this combination of empirical studies and modeling has facilitated the study of key phenomena in spatial dynamics, such as extinction threshold and extinction debt.

The parasitoid complex attacking Finnish populations of the Glanville fritillary Melitaea cinxia (Lep: Nymphalidae), and endangered butterfly
Ten species of parasitoids were found in association with a large metapopulation of the Glanville fritillary Melitaea cinxia (L.) in a fragmented landscape in SW Finland. Two primary larval…

Experimental Confirmation That Inbreeding Depression Increases Extinction Risk in Butterfly Populations
TLDR
This poster presents a probabilistic procedure called a “shots fired” approach that combines a high-resolution 3D image of the genome and a simple 2D model to estimate the number of cells in a population.

Effect of Iridoid Glycoside Content on Oviposition Host Plant Choice and Parasitism in a Specialist Herbivore
TLDR
Parasitism by the specialist parasitoid wasp Cotesia melitaearum occurred most frequently in larval groups that were feeding on plants with low concentrations of catalpol, irrespective of year, population, and host plant species.

Delineating Species with DNA Barcodes: A Case of Taxon Dependent Method Performance in Moths
TLDR
Despite the strong performance of analyses based on DNA barcodes, species delineated using single-locus mtDNA data are best viewed as OTUs that require validation by subsequent integrative taxonomic work.

TLDR
Migration rate increased significantly with body size and was significantly higher in oligophagous than in polyphagous species, suggesting that these factors are important determinants of the migration rate of the species.
