High genetic diversity is observed in some Phengaris populations, while others show signs of genetic isolation and low heterozygosity.
Distinct population clusters and dispersal corridors were identified, emphasizing the need for targeted conservation interventions.
Using ddRAD sequencing, we assessed genetic diversity, providing insights into the metapopulation structure across localities.
Conservation strategies propose enhancing connectivity and restoring degraded habitats to ensure long-term resilience of Phengaris species.
