Ecological and genetic basis of metapopulation persistence of the Glanville fritillary butterfly in fragmented landscapes

Habitat fragmentation can lead to extinction even when some habitat remains. Here, the authors model the metapopulation dynamics of the Glanville fritillary butterfly and show that persistence depends on spatial configuration and quality of the habitat, as well as on genotype-associated dispersal ra...
