Large Yearly Fluctuations in Congregation Sizes of Migratory Danainae Butterflies in the Western Ghats, India
We documented the overwintering congregations of migratory Danainae butterflies (Nymphalidae) over six migratory seasons in the threatened tropical forests of the Western Ghats, India. Congregation sizes fluctuated drastically (> 90%), indicating vulnerability to chance events. Continued monitoring is needed to explain these fluctuations and identify declining trends for timely conservation action.
期刊介绍:
Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal''s Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.
