Dispersal and adaptation strategies of the high mountain butterfly Boloria pales in the Romanian Carpathians

Habitat quality is one main trigger for the persistence of butterflies. The effects of the influencing biotic and abiotic factors may be enhanced by the challenging conditions in high-alpine environments. To better our knowledge in this field, we performed a mark-release-recapture study with Boloria pales in the Southern Carpathians. We analysed population structure, movement and foraging behaviour to investigate special adaptations to the...
