Do the sibling species of small whites, Leptidea sinapis and L. reali (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) differ in habitat preferences?

Original language description

We analysed the habitat preferences ot two cryptic siblings of Leptidea butterflies, L. sinapis and L. reali, using (i) data from the Czech distribution atlas (1,400 identified specimens from 200 grid squares), (ii) data on the habitat association of 359specimens from 111 sites in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and (iii) an ordination analysis of the two butterflies in 21 limestone quarries in Moravia (Czech Republic). The distribution atlas data revealed that L. sinapis is significantly rarer in theCzech Republic than L. reali and is restricted to warm areas of low elevations, while L. reali is widespread. The two species tend not to co-occur and there is a clear latitudinal gradient in distribution of L. sinapis. Regarding habitat preferences, L.sinapis was overrepresented in xerothermic habitats and absent in hygrophilous habitats, while L. reali occurred in all habitat types. The pattern of occurrence of the species in the limestone quarries suggested that L. sinapis is a xero
