Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, 2008.

Urbanization and fragmentation in extant eastern U.S. populations may limit Karner blue recovery. My objectives were to: (1) conduct a mark-release-recapture study (MRR) in New York and analyze a time series from New Hampshire to investigate the influence of Allee dynamics and fragmentation on metapopulations; (2) parameterize a stage matrix; (3) conduct a life table simulation analysis (LSA) to evaluate the implications of Karner blue life history for recovery alternatives; (4) conduct a population viability analysis (PVA) to evaluate metapopulation sensitivity to fragmentation and other risks; and (5) derive minimum viable population size (MVP).

520 $a Urbanization and fragmentation in extant eastern U.S. populations may limit Karner blue recovery. My objectives were to: (1) conduct a mark-release-recapture study (MRR) in New York and analyze a time series from New Hampshire to investigate the influence of Allee dynamics and fragmentation on metapopulations; (2) parameterize a stage matrix; (3) conduct a life table simulation analysis (LSA) to evaluate the implications of Karner blue life history for recovery alternatives; (4) conduct a population viability analysis (PVA) to evaluate metapopulation sensitivity to fragmentation and other risks; and (5) derive minimum viable population size (MVP).
520 $a Fragmentation effects observed in the MRR include null migration to roadside areas (males=46%; females=50%) and migration rates ranging from 45% in small isolated habitat patches to 2% in the largest. In New Hampshire, Allee dynamics limited egg and larval yield prior to extirpation. The two studies indicate that colonization and persistence of small isolated patches are tenuous in fragmented systems.
520 $a Few species with complex life cycles and non-overlapping generations have been studied using LSA. Most LSA studies emphasize elasticities of the intrinsic rate of increase (lambda); 53% of Karner blue matrix replicates had lambda<1. To complement lambda, I analyzed reproductive values, which weight the fitness of each life stage. Fitness of the oviposition rate alternated between latent and senescent females across extremes in lambda. Butterfly foraging theory predicts that larval vs. adult foraging strategies control the timing of ovipositing. Alternating fitness between stages demonstrates a mechanism for natural selection on foraging strategies, and may be an uncommon example of disruptive selection. Management targeted at optimizing foraging opportunities and enhancing ovipositing fitness may significantly stimulate population growth; negative growth will likely result from adverse change in environmental pressures.
520 $a I ranked habitat loss and null migration as catastrophic risks, with egg and larval mortality second. Endangered species recovery plans require MVP, but few report them. Population managers require absolute targets in order to prescribe adequate habitat management and design preserves. I developed a theoretical framework for relating PVA results to absolute Karner blue abundance and habitat requirements, allowing hypotheses about progress toward MVPs to be tested.
