Sažetak
Apollo (Parnassius apollo) is a widespread, but localized Eurasian species. In Croatia, it was found on mountains Dinara, Velebit, Lička Plješivica, Velika and Mala Kapela and in one locality in Gorski Kotar. In the past 10 years a nearly 30% population decline was noticed so the species is listed on the Red List of butterflies of Europe as nearly threatened species (NT), and on the Red List of butterflies of Croatia as a vulnerable species (VU). Recent extensive phylogeographic study revealed as much as 12 distinct mitochondrial (mt) lineages within species. To determine the level of genetic diversity, genetic structure and affiliation to previously defined major mt lineages, we sequenced 869 bp of the mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I gene for 33 individuals belonging to five populations (Gorski Kotar, Velebit I and II, Dinara and Zelengora). Six different haplotypes were found, five of them being reported for the first time. Obtained data were incorporated into the existing phylogeographic framework of the species using median-joining network approach. All Croatian haplotypes clustered within Ig mt lineage, and Bosnian within Ir and Ie mt lineages. The lack of haplotype diversity consistent with bottleneck event in a small, isolated population was found in the most vulnerable population from Gorski Kotar. Due to the highest genetic similarity and shared haplotype, population of Velebit Mountain was identified as a potential donor for possible reintroduction.
