- Abstract
- Understanding the metapopulation structure and movement of a species are required for conserving the species. In this
paper, migration patterns and connectivity of patches of a threatened butterfly, Parnassius bremeri Bremer, were postulated using the
mark-release-recapture (MRR) technique in a habitat located in the mid-southern region of the Korean peninsula. A total of 194
individuals were captured (137 males and 57 females) and, of them, 93 individuals (73 males and 20 females) were recaptured during
the MRR experiment. The migration analysis showed 23-150% immigration and 28-53% emigration. There were high correlations
between the migrating individuals and the distance between patches, but there was no correlation between migrating individuals and
patch size or between migrating individuals and the number of host plants. Consequently, the migration of butterflies occurred
frequently between closer patches, while patch size and quantity of the food plant had minor effects on migration behavior. Additionally,
males migrated more frequently than females. Analysis of the migration patterns of P. bremeri showed that the central patch played an
important role on linking patch groups and more frequent migrations were monitored between nearby patches than between the remote
patches. This study suggested that active migrations take place between the neighboring multiple patches and these are accelerated if
there is a stepping-stone patch between them.
