The cerrado savanna is currently one of the most endangered Neotropical biomes, yet while information for many butterfly groups are available from forested habitats, data from savannas and other non-forested habitats remain deficient. The present study assesses the species composition and phenology of fruit-feeding, nymphalid butterfly assemblages in a cerrado reserve at the southern limit of the Brazilian savanna distribution. Butterfly collections were carried out with 20 baited traps organized in four lines of five traps each, from November 2009 to October 2010. In total, 597 individuals from 39 species belonging to all fruit-feeding Nymphalidae clades were captured. Total butterfly abundance peaked at the middle of the wet season, and lowest abundances were recorded in mid dry season. Temperature and precipitation were good predictors of total community abundance and richness, but the most common species showed distinct relationship to these parameters. Species richness in the study site was equivalent or higher to those reported for other cerrado areas, and lower compared to forested habitats. Although interesting patterns emerged from comparative data of fruit-feeding butterfly assemblages, further investigation in diverse Neotropical habitats is needed to produce a more precise picture about the geographical ecology of this insect guild..","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127375158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known of insect biodiversity on Isla Guadalupe, a large (c. 250 km2) Pacific island located off the west coast of Baja California, Mexico, which has undergone more than 150 years of extensive habitat degradation owing to grazing by feral goats. Goats were successfully eradicated in 2007, and thus Isla Guadalupe provides a rare opportunity to study changes in biodiversity in the flora and fauna as the habitat in this isolated geographic region begins to recover. We conducted a preliminary survey of Lepidoptera biodiversity by collecting and observing mainly adult individuals during July–August, 2019. We also included previous observations from 2003–2016, and two historical records dating back to 1874 and 1922. Our annotated inventory includes 31 species of Lepidoptera (10 species of butterflies from four families, and 21 species of moths from seven families), and includes one butterfly species recorded 100 years ago that we did not find and which may be extirpated. Although life history stages were not recorded (except for the cosmopolitan Vanessa cardui), we also comment on the availability of potential larval host plants based on literature records from other regions. Most of the Lepidoptera species in our inventory (n = 22) have also been recorded from at least one of the comprehensively studied Channel Islands in southern California, USA, and all 31 species are also present on the California mainland. Thus, the Lepidoptera fauna on Isla Guadalupe recorded here corresponds to that associated with Californian Biogeographic Province.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133353761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bromeliads provide habitat and food resources for various organisms. Besides the nectar and pollen, the leaf and fruit tissues of these plants supply food for various animal groups. Among the groups that feed on bromeliads, herbivores are the ones that cause the most damage to these plants; among such organisms, some are well known, such as butterfly and moth caterpillars. Here we will describe some of the ecological relationships between the butterflies Strymon serapio and moths Castnia invaria in association with the rupicolous habitat-forming bromeliad Encholirium spectabile. In rocky outcrops of the Brazilian Semiarid Caatinga, S. serapio caterpillars were frequently observed in the blooms of E. spectabile and adults in the leaves, as well as adults of C. invaria. However, in C. invaria the larvae develop inside the bromeliads. Adults of both species were associated with E. spectabile throughout the year in the study area. We observed S. serapio eggs and larvae mainly during the beginning of the dry season, and the eggs of C. invaria, occur mainly during the rainy season. Regarding the daily activity period, the two species show diurnal habits. Caterpillars of S. serapio develop mutualistic relations with ants of the genus Crematogaster in the blooms of E. spectabile. This is the first record for this kind of ant-butterfly interactions taking place in Encholirum bromeliads, although they have already been cited for other species of Bromeliaceae. The record of these interactions in E. spectabile suggests that these bromeliads are relevant for local biodiversity, also regarding interactions with species of commercial interest, which use the E. spectabile as a host plant..","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128945445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early life stages and adult MacNeill's sootywing (Hesperopsis gracielae MacNeill, Family: Hesperiidae), a small butterfly, were searched for at ten conservation/wildlife areas along the Lower Colorado River Valley. This butterfly can only complete development on quailbush (Atriplex lentiformis (Torr.) S. Watson, Family: Amaranthaceae). In most cases quailbush was intentionally planted at conservation areas for wildlife purposes. Evidence of sootywings was found at nine of the locations. A single location had low numbers of the larval food plant and this may have resulted in non-detection of the butterfly. Early life stages of sootywings were associated with quailbush that had statistically higher soil moisture at the plant base. Plants where early life stage sootywings were detected (n=41) averaged 63 ± SE 6.3% soil moisture, while those where sootywings were not detected (n=109) averaged 37 ± SE 4% soil moisture. Soil moisture and appropriate densities of quailbush appeared to be important attributes for support of MacNeill's sootywing populations. Size of quailbush and presence of nectar in the environment were not statistically important attributes in presence or abundance of sootywings.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127165466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
