Wolbachia affects mitochondrial population structure in two systems of closely related Palaearctic blue butterflies

Abstract The bacterium Wolbachia infects many insect species and spreads by diverse vertical and horizontal means. As co-inherited organisms, these bacteria often cause problems in mitochondrial phylogeny inference. The phylogenetic relationships of many closely related Palaearctic blue butterflies...
