  • Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term
    POPULATION ECOLOGY Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term Changes THOMAS J. WALKER1 Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611Ð0620 Environ. Entomol. 30(6): 1052Ð1060 (2001) ABSTRACT Flight traps at Gainesville, in north-central Florida, operating from 1984 to spring 2000, separated butterßies migrating into the Florida peninsula (SSE Ϯ 90Њ) from those migrating out of the Florida peninsula (NNW Ϯ 90Њ). Five species ßew southward in the fall and northward in the spring: Phoebis sennae (L.), Agraulis vanillae (L.), Junonia coenia (Hu¨ bner), Urbanus proteus (L.), and Eurema lisa (Boisduval & LeConte). Five species had signiÞcant northward ßights in spring but no signiÞcant migration in fall: Pieris rapae (L.), Vanessa virginiensis (Drury), Vanessa atalanta (L.), Eurytides marcellus (Cramer), and Libytheana bachmanii (Kirtland). Danaus plexippus (L.) had a southward ßight in fall but no signiÞcant migration in spring. Eurema daira (Godart) switched from a net movement northward in early fall to a net movement southward in late fall, whereas Eurema nicippe (Cramer) maintained a net movement northward throughout the fall. The major migrants differed signiÞcantly in the seasonal timing and duration of peak migration. When the numbers trapped were greatest, the proportion of those ßying in the migratory direction was greatest. The numbers of spring migrants of A. vanillae increased during the course of the study, whereas both the spring and fall migrations of J. coenia declined. The fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus declined sharply. In 1990Ð1999, the fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus averaged only 37 and 15% of what they had averaged in 1984Ð1989.

  • Plant Inventory at Missouri National Recreational River
    Inventory of Butterflies at Fort Union Trading Post and Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Sites in 2004 --<o>-- Final Report Submitted by: Ronald Alan Royer, Ph.D. Burlington, North Dakota 58722 Submitted to: Northern Great Plains Inventory & Monitoring Coordinator National Park Service Mount Rushmore National Memorial Keystone, South Dakota 57751 October 1, 2004 Executive Summary This document reports inventory of butterflies at Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site (NHS) and Fort Union Trading Post NHS, both administered by the National Park Service in the state of North Dakota. Field work consisted of strategically timed visits throughout Summer 2004. The inventory employed “checklist” counting based on the author's experience with habitat for the various species expected from each site. This report is written in two separate parts, one for each site. Each part contains an annotated species list for that site. For possible later GIS use, noteworthy species encounters are reported by UTM coordinates, all of which are provided conveniently in a table within the report narrative for each site. An annotated listing is also included for each species at each site. Each of these provides a brief description of typical habitat, principal larval host(s), and information on adult phenology. This information is followed by abbreviated citations for published works in which more detailed information may be located. Recommendations are then made for each site on the basis of endemism, prairie butterfly conservation and
