The last days of Aporia crataegi (L.) in Britain: evaluating genomic erosion in an extirpated butterfly

Rebecca Whitla, Korneel Hens, James E. Hogan…·Saad Arif

This study compares genomic erosion in an extinct British butterfly and a stable species, finding similar heterozygosity loss despite different population sizes and suggesting inbreeding and deleterious mutations as decline indicators.
