"Current Status of the Endangered Island Marble Butterfly"
Jenny Shrum collects DNA samples for Island Marble Butterfly - Summer 2022 & 2023
The United State Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) identified the need to determine the genetic variability within the remaining populations of Euchloe ausonides insulanus, more commonly known as island marble butterflies (IMB), on San Juan Island as a critical conservation goal. It is the last known location where these butterflies are found. In 2022, Karen Reagan from FWS fostered a collaborative effort between the United States Geological Survey, Eastern Ecological Science Center (USGS), the University of Florida, Jaret Daniels Lab (UF) and the National Park Service, San Juan Island National Historical Park (NPS) to passively gather samples from which to extract DNA and elucidate genetic markers.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service determined that elucidating the genetic markers of island marble butterflies was a crucial component to measuring the current diversity of the population and developing conservation strategies that maintain that diversity. In 2022, over two hundred samples were collected and sent to the Eastern Ecological Science Center Leetown Lab for processing. All of these samples were taken passively meaning they had negligible effect on the butterflies. For example, no wings were cut, or legs removed. Instead, technicians captured excreted fluid and exoskeleton sheds obtained in the rearing lab. These non-invasive techniques are crucial because so few butterflies remain. These samples will help the USGS identify markers that will initially quantify diversity, but could also lead to the capacity to distinguish individuals. This would provide researchers a powerful tool to answer island marble butterfly life history questions that have thus far remained a mystery.

Photo Left; A later stage instar munches on Brassica Rapa flower buds 2021-2022: Due to concerns about over-collection, the IMB Rearing Lab reduced its IMB juvenile harvest to 259 individuals and fostered the creation of 224 chrysalides for release in the spring of 2022—35 fewer than in 2020. The lab successfully released 250 adults into quality habitat at American Camp. 100 surveys were completed throughout the nine-week flight season across six pre-established transect sites and butterflies were encountered 217 times (compared to 134 in 2020). |
