Heterogeneity is key to supporting forest-dweller butterflies
Worldwide, forests are considered biodiversity hotspots. Butterflies are among the surrogate species for forest biodiversity yet in many parts of the world, little is known about the presence or habitat use of forest-dweller butterflies. In this study we aimed to narrow the information gap by applying a time-effective butterfly survey in forests in northeast Türkiye that are surrounded by several prime butterfly areas. The target species were Boloria euphrosyne, Coenonympha arcania, Erebia aethiops, and Satyrium ilicis. The surveys provided 128 records of the species. Random forests models showed that the mean temperature of the warmest month, canopy cover of pine trees, tree size, and managed meadows in or at the edge of forests are important parameters for species occurrence. Nevertheless, the direction of the effects varied between species. Maintaining heterogeneity in forests in terms of the forest variables indicated above and promoting small-scale grassland management in forest openings and edges are important conservation measures for forest-dwelling butterflies. The relevance of the temperature suggests that climate change may have significant effects on the occurrence of forest butterflies. Key words: Habitat use, Hay meadows, Forest structure, Erebia aethiops, Satyrium ilicis, Coenonympha arcania
期刊介绍:
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
