The generalism–specialism debate: the role of generalists in the life and death of species
Specialisms on resources and for niches, leading to specialization, have been construed to
be tantamount to speciation and vice versa, while the occurrence of true generalism in …

A combined genetic‐morphometric analysis unravels the complex biogeographical history of Polyommatus icarus and Polyommatus celina Common Blue butterflies
Widespread species have the potential to reveal large‐scale biogeographical patterns, as
well as responses to environmental changes possibly unique to habitat generalists. This …

Speciation in Mediterranean refugia and post‐glacial expansion of Zerynthia polyxena (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae)
Migration of populations to and from glacial refugia is responsible for various cases of
speciation and subspeciation in Europe. The pattern of distribution and the degree of …
