Choosing butterflies as a model organism, this study aims to unravel the differentiation process of a few species from this Mediterranean region, belonging in two different genera: Lycaena and Melanargia. Therefore, the present work is divided in two case-studies, both focusing on different but complementary problematics: The first deals with the speciation and relationship between the two Sooty Copper butterflies, L. tityrus (the Sooty Copper, widespread in Europe) and L. bleusei (the Iberian Sooty Copper, an Iberian endemic), which has been considered as a subspecies of the former; the second studies the phylogenetic relationships and genetic differentiation of the whole subgenus Argeformia, belonging in the genus Melanargia, in particular the species Melanargia ines (widespread in Iberia and North Africa), M. occitanica (found in South of France + North Italy, Iberia, North Africa and Sicily) and M. arge (Italian endemic). While the first deals with two sister taxa and goes through different analyses (Genetics, Geometric Morphometrics and Species Distribution Modeling (SDM)) in one integrative study to infer if these should be considered as independent species, the second tries to confirm the current phylogenetic relationships among the species of Argeformia, and analyse the gene flow across the different land and sea barriers of the western Mediterranean region. Overall, each analysis conducted for Lycaena allowed us to clearly differentiate both Sooty Coppers and conclude that these should be considered as different species. Nonetheless, their reproductive barriers appear not to be fully developed and two L. tityrus specimens displayed introgressed L. bleusei genetic material. Additionally, the combination of Genetics and SDM results support the hypothesis of a post glacial population and genetic bottleneck for L. bleusei. Regarding Melanargia, our phylogeny agrees with the current classification and relationships within Argeformia, with M. occitanica sister to M. arge and both closely related to M. ines. The western Mediterranean barriers displayed different roles and capacities to isolate populations gene flow, with the Gibraltar Strait being the most influential barrier. Different evolutionary history scenarios are here presented for both the Sooty Coppers and Argeformia species, which seem to have a differentiation process fundamentally driven by isolation in allopatry across the geographic barriers and climatic oscillations in a first phase, and different ecological adaptations later.Paulo, Octávio, 1963-Marabuto, Eduardo Manuel Graça de Brito Valente, 1984-Repositório da Universidade de LisboaNunes, Miguel Simões2021-10-30T00:30:26Z201920192019-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/41695TID:202379914enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T16:41:16Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/41695Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:54:56.309453Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
