This paper describes our observations of Tawny Borneo is 830 miles long and 600 miles wide, and is divided politically into Sabah and Sarawak, which belong to the Federation of Malaysia; Brunei, a tiny independent Sultanate; and the largest proportion, Kalimantan, which is part of Indonesia (MacKinnon, 1975). As part of the Sundaland biodiversity hotspot, An incidental biodiversity survey was conducted in Borneo is home to some of the most complex and Indonesian Borneo, located in Ketapang and Kapuas diverse forest ecosystems on Earth (Myers et al., 2000; Hulu district of West Kalimantan, and Kutai Timur Sodhi et al., 2004).

During eastern neighbour Sulawesi, although separated only the surveys, we observed several individuals of Tawny by the Makassar straits c.200 km at their widest point Coster (Fig. 1). The habitats consisted primarily of (MacKinnon et al., 1996). rubber agroforest estates, oil palm plantations and Tawny Coster Acraea terpsicore, or formerly known as degraded secondary forest. A. violae, ranges from Sri Lanka and India to Vietnam, and has spread into Thailand and more recently into Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore (Kirton, 2014). It was anticipated that Tawny Coster would likely disperse further southwards from Malaysia, although its rate of colonisation could not be accurately determined due to the lack of detailed records (Tung, 2002). Currently, its known record extend to the southern part of Sumatra, as well as Java, Flores, Sumba, Timor and northern Australia (Braby et al., 2014). approximately 10% are endemic, 70% are found in former parts of Sundaland, while 20% are also found in the Philippines, Sulawesi and rest of the world (Otsuka, (eg.

  • The Genus Acraea (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) - Peter Hendry
    The genus Acraea (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) - Peter Hendry With the recent migration to Australia of the Tawny Coster (Acraea terpsicore (Linnaeus, 1758)), (see Creature Feature this issue), I thought it might be timely to take a look at the genus worldwide. It must be noted that due to a misidentification A. terpsicore had long been known as A. violae and many references in the literature and on the web refer to it as A. violae. As with much of the Lepidoptera the genus is in a state of flux, and has long been split into the subgenera Acraea (Acraea) and Acraea (Actinote). The genus is placed in the tribe Acraeini and until Harvey (1991) placed it in the subfamily Heliconiinae it was listed in the subfamily Acraeinae. Recent molecular work has made changes and a current listing of the tribe Acraeini, by Niklas Wahlberg, is available at http://www.nymphalidae.net/Classification/Acraeini.htm. It shows members of the old subgenus Acraea (Actinote) being placed in the genus Actinote, and the old subgenus Acraea (Acraea) becoming the genus Acraea with a subgenus Acraea (Bematistes). It also lists several Acraea as unplaced. This may further change as some believe the subgenus Acraea (Bematistes) will move to the genus Bematistes. The genus is primarily Afrotropical with only four species occurring outside this region, these being, Acraea andromacha (Fig. 1) A. meyeri (Fig. 10) A. moluccana and A. terpsicore. A fifth species the Yellow Coster Acraea (Actinote) issoria is now referred to the genus Actinote. Like many of the Nymphalidae the larvae feed on plants which contain cyanogens making the larvae and adults poisonous to predators.

Simple Summary: Climate change influences the distribution of species. The tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a serious invasive species that damages the native ecosystem. In this study, we evaluated the current and future distribution of S. geminata under climate change using the ecological niche model. The model results showed that the favorable habitat area of S. geminata will expand to higher latitudes on a global scale due to future global warming. Some countries located in America and East Asia, such as Brazil, China, South Korea, the USA, and Uruguay, can be threatened by S. geminata due to climate change. Abstract: The tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a serious invasive species that causes a decline in agricultural production, damages infrastructure, and harms human health.

Butterfly species were documented from June to September, 2020 by following Standard Methods. A total of 56 butterfly species belonging to 05 different families were recorded. Further, Family Nymphalidae records highest number of Butterfly species (39.29 %), followed by Pieridae (23.21%), Lycaenidae (21.43%) and Papilionidae (10.71%) families. Least number of Butterfly species contributed by family Hesperiidae (5.36%). These Butterflies were further classified into Common (77%) and Rare (23%) based on Abundance status. Interestingly, Butterfly species viz., Euploea core, Hypolimnas misippus, Cepora nerissa, Castalius rosimon and Pachliopta hector which are listed in Schedule I, II and IV of Indian Wildlife Protection Act (IWPA), 1972 were documented from the study area.

The range expansion of an Indian native butterfly Acraea terpsicore has been documented in Borneo and can be considered as a potential case of range expansion resulting from anthropogenic induced climate change. Since its rapid southward range expansion to the Southeast Asian region during the past 30 years, this species has expanded approximately over 7000 km2. The rate of colonisation in this region was estimated approximately 200 km/ year and as for Borneo it was calculated as 100 Km/year. The spatial distribution of A. terpsicore in Borneo was calculated by EOO (extent of occurrence) and the range margins of its occurrence was measured to over an area of about 322766 km2. With the help of bioclimatic niche models, current habitable climatic range and potential future range margins until 2050 were projected by consensus forecasts.

Abstract: Interest in bioenergetic crops, such as the castor oil plant Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), for production of biodiesel has increased in recent years. In this paper, phytophagous arthropods, their natural enemies and floral visitors associated with this plant in the world are reviewed. Despite its insecticidal properties, arthropods have been reported feeding on R. communis plants. The arthropod pests of R. communis damage all parts of the plant, including the seeds, where some toxic compounds are even more concentrated. In the scientific databases, we found reports of 193 arthropods associated to R. communis in different parts of the world. This information obtained in the scientific databases was concentrated in a database and analyzed according to the coevolutive hypothesis, which allows us to predict that the greatest wealth and abundance of phytogenic arthropods is found in the center of origin by R.
