Phylogeny of Agrodiaetus Hübner 1822 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) inferred from mtDNA sequences of COI and COII and nuclear sequences of EF1-alpha: karyotype diversification and species radiation.
- Nikolai P. Kandul, V. Lukhtanov, +4 authors N. Pierce
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 April 2004
Butterflies in the large Palearctic genus Agrodiaetus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) are extremely uniform and exhibit few distinguishing morphological characters. However, these insects are distinctive… Expand
Establishing criteria for higher‐level classification using molecular data: the systematics of Polyommatus blue butterflies (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae)
- Gerard Talavera, V. Lukhtanov, N. Pierce, R. Vila
- Biology
- 1 April 2013
Most taxonomists agree on the need to adapt current classifications to recognize monophyletic units. However, delineations between higher taxonomic units can be based on the relative ages of… Expand
KARYOTYPIC DIVERSITY AND SPECIATION IN AGRODIAETUS BUTTERFLIES
- Nikolai P. Kandul, V. Lukhtanov, N. Pierce

- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 March 2007
Abstract That chromosomal rearrangements may play an important role in maintaining postzygotic isolation between well-established species is part of the standard theory of speciation. However, little… Expand
In the shadow of phylogenetic uncertainty: the recent diversification of Lysandra butterflies through chromosomal change.

- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 December 2013
The phylogeny of the butterfly genus Lysandra (Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae) has been intractable using both molecular and morphological characters, which could be a result of speciation due to… Expand
Unprecedented within-species chromosome number cline in the Wood White butterfly Leptidea sinapis and its significance for karyotype evolution and speciation
- V. Lukhtanov, V. Dincă, Gerard Talavera, R. Vila
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 20 April 2011
BackgroundSpecies generally have a fixed number of chromosomes in the cell nuclei while between-species differences are common and often pronounced. These differences could have evolved through… Expand
Principles of the Highly Ordered Arrangement of Metaphase I Bivalents in Spermatocytes of Agrodiaetus (Insecta, Lepidoptera)
- V. Lukhtanov, A. Dantchenko
- Biology, Medicine
- Chromosome Research
- 2004
We have investigated the nature of highly ordered bivalent arrangement in lepidopteran spermatocytes by analysing and comparing the patterns of bivalent distribution in intact metaphase I plates of… Expand
Reproductive isolation and patterns of genetic differentiation in a cryptic butterfly species complex

- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 5 August 2013
Molecular studies of natural populations are often designed to detect and categorize hidden layers of cryptic diversity, and an emerging pattern suggests that cryptic species are more common and more… Expand

Sex chromatin and sex chromosome systems in nonditrysian Lepidoptera (Insecta)
- V. Lukhtanov
- Biology
- 1 June 2000
Eleven representatives of the superorder Amphiesmenoptera (Trichoptera + Lepidoptera) were examined for sex chromatin status. Three species represent stenopsychoid, limnephiloid and leptoceroid… Expand
Ten genes and two topologies: an exploration of higher relationships in skipper butterflies (Hesperiidae)

- 6 December 2016
Despite multiple attempts to infer the higher-level phylogenetic relationships of skipper butterflies (Family Hesperiidae), uncertainties in the deep clade relationships persist. The most recent… Expand
