Phylogeny and evolution of butterflies of the genus Parnassius: inferences from mitochondrial 16S and ND1 sequences

Phylogenetic relationships among species of the genus Parnassius and its related taxa were analyzed by comparing nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (504 sites) and NADH-dehydrogenase subunit 1 (469 sites). In the phylogenetic trees, Parnassius was found to be most closely related to Hypermnestra helios, whereas Archon apollinus, which has been classified in the tribe Parnassiini together with Parnassius and Hypermnestra, was more closely related to members of the tribe Zerynthiini. Within the Parnassius clade, six major clades corresponding to species groups were well supported, although the phylogenetic relationships among them were not clear. Although the results of the present study were in agreement with those of a previous phylogenetic study based on mitochondrial NADH-dehydrogenase subunit 5 sequences, our study strongly supported a close relationship between Parnassius and Hypermnestra, which was not well supported in the previous study.     

Phylogeny, historical biogeography, and taxonomic ranking of Parnassiinae (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) based on morphology and seven genes

We tested the taxonomic utility of morphology and seven mitochondrial or nuclear genes in a phylogenetic reconstruction of swallowtail butterflies in the subfamily Parnassiinae. Our data included 236 morphological characters and DNA sequences for seven genes that are commonly used to infer lepidopteran relationships (COI+COII, ND5, ND1, 16S, EF-1alpha, and wg; total 5775 bp). Nuclear genes performed best for inferring phylogenies, particularly at higher taxonomic levels, while there was substantial variation in performance among mitochondrial genes. Multiple analyses of molecular data (MP, ML and Bayesian) consistently produced a tree topology different from that obtained by morphology alone. Based on molecular evidence, sister-group relationships were confirmed between the genera Hypermnestra and Parnassius, as well as between Archon and Luehdorfia, while the monophyly of the subfamily was weakly supported. We recognize three tribes within Parnassiinae, with Archon and Luehdorfia forming the tribe Luehdorfiini Tutt, 1896 [stat. rev.]. Three fossil taxa were incorporated into a molecular clock analysis with biogeographic time constraints. Based on dispersal-vicariance (DIVA) analysis, the most recent common ancestor of Parnassiinae occurred in the Iranian Plateau and Central Asia to China. Early diversification of Parnassiinae took place at the same time that India collided into Eurasia, 65-42 million years ago.     

The demonstration of natural hybridization between two swallowtail species Parnassius nomion and Parnassius bremeri (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) using RAPD-PCR technique]

Genetic evidence for interspecific hybridization between Parnassius nomion and Parnassius bremeri in nature is presented. To demonstrate hybridization between these species, RAPD analysis was used. By testing 25 decamer primers, three and two diagnostic markers were revealed for P. nomion and P. bremeri, respectively. Out of 28 animals examined, 4 were shown to be interspecific hybrids. According to the distribution of diagnostic markers, the interspecific hybrids were intermediate with regard to the parental species. Ecological and biological characteristics of two swallowtail species that promote their hybridization in nature are discussed.     

Isolation of novel microsatellite markers for the clouded Apollo (P. mnemosyne Linnaeus, 1758; Lepidoptera,Papilionidae)

Five novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using an enriched genomic DNA library for Parnassius mnemosyne, a European butterfly of conservation concern, and a valuable model for the study of metapopulation dynamics. Allele numbers ranged from 4 to 12 and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.17 to 0.74 and from 0.26 to 0.835, respectively. Two samples from geographically close populations were analyzed, demonstrating that the new markers can be successfully employed to investigate fine-scale population structure.     

Molecular phylogeny of butterflies Parnassius glacialis and P. stubbendorfii at various localities in East Asia.

The phylogeny of butterflies, Parnassius stubbendorfii and P. glacialis, collected at various localities in the Japan archipelago and the eastern part of the Asian continent was analyzed using mitochondrial DNA sequences coding for NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (805 bp). The molecular phylogenetic trees revealed that P. glacialis and P. stubbendorfii diverged from a common ancestor, and then the populations inhabiting the Japan archipelago and the Asian continent diverged in each species. The reliability of these divergences was supported by high bootstrap values. The divergences within the Japan archipelago and within the Asian continent in each species were unclear because of low bootstrap values. The genetic distance and a rough time-estimation in the UPGMA tree suggest that the both populations of P. glacialis and P. stubbendorfii may have been isolated in the Japan archipelago at the early time (about 1.7-2.0 Mya) of the glacial period in the Pleistocene. The genetic distance between the Japanese and the continental subspecies may be large enough that they can be classified as different species, in comparison with the genetic distances among some other parnassian species.     

Isolation of DNA from museum exhibits of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) and PCR analysis with random and universal genes-specific primers

The effect of the duration of storage of entomological material on DNA preservation was estimated. The results of the optimization of conditions for the analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA in a polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) are presented as applied to the DNA of lepidopterans of the family Papilionidae. RAPD patterns are shown for the first time in Atrophaneura alcinous and four species of the genus Parnassius (sensu lata). The applicability of museum specimens of butterflies for RAPD analysis was demonstrated. The results of PCR analysis using DNA obtained from different collection specimens stored for up to five years were compared. The authenticity of DNA obtained from collection specimens was proved using PCR with universal primers, which are specific to the COI and COII cytochrome genes of mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA). The lengths of individuals gene fragments obtained by the amplification of both museum and live specimens were 800 and 1600 bp. The conservative regions of mitochondrial genome were shown to be slightly different in two A. alcinous subspecies.     

A set of primers conserved in genus Parnassius (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) for amplification and sequencing of 1016 bp fragment of cytochrome oxidase subunit I from museum specimens

Four short, overlapping amplicons covering a 1016 bp fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I were developed. All four fragments were successfully amplified and sequenced in eight species of butterflies belonging to the genus Parnassius including over 100‐year‐old DNA from pinned museum specimens. The fragment contains sufficient variation for both inter‐ and intraspecific analyses. A total of 105 sites were polymorphic within 52 haplotypes found in 186 samples from Parnassius mnemosyne.     

Alpine biogeography of Parnassian butterflies during Quaternary climate cycles in North America

Growth of alpine glaciers during the Pleistocene had profound effects on montane landscapes in North America and the organisms now inhabiting alpine ecosystems. Biogeography of this region has often been viewed as a system of sky islands despite the fact that species richness patterns deviate from a strict island biogeographic model. One explanation is that alpine species are not in equilibrium because of late Quaternary geographic range shifts. Genetic data can provide evidence of nonequilibrium dynamics and the distributional shifts that occur during glaciation events in alpine landscapes. Using mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data, we examine the evolutionary history of butterflies in the Parnassius phoebus complex. We test explicit, alternative models of the biogeographic history of Parnassius smintheus and Parnassius behrii , including an equilibrium island model, ancestral radiation and fragmentation, an expanding alpine archipelago and an alpine archipelago refuge model. Our results support the alpine archipelago refuge model, in which alpine butterflies undergo population contraction during glacial climates followed by population expansion during interglacial phases. While butterflies can disperse between distant mountain ranges during glacial periods, gene flow is rare. We find evidence of recent connectivity between California and Colorado, population expansion events following deglaciation ∼20 000 years B.P., and small population sizes during the last glacial period. An analysis of lineage splitting suggests that morphological differences in P. smintheus and P. behrii are the result of late Pleistocene divergence (∼48 000 years B.P.) with limited gene flow. Our results demonstrate that spatially complex and nonequilibrium population dynamics influence alpine diversity patterns.
