This study assessed the amount of information available on two endangered butterfly subspecies that exist only in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, New Hampshire. The White Mountain Arctic (Oeneis melissa semidea) and the White Mountain Fritillary (Boloria titania montinus) are glacial relics that have become trapped in the highest elevations of this mountain range due to fragmentation caused by the effects of climate change. A listing...
