Glanville fritillary butterfly.

Genetic variation at the Pgi locus of the Glanville fritillary butterfly, Melitaea cinxia, has a significant effect on the growth of local populations, and provides direct evidence that the performance of individual genotypes can influence population dynamics. (See Hanksi et al.)
