Aggressive interactions, community, foraging strategy, interference competition, resources, tree sap Abstract. Many insect species attracted to fermenting sap often fight for access to this resource, which results in the establishment of interspecific dominance hierarchies. In one such system, the hornet Vespa mandarinia (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) behaviourally dominates during the daytime and several subordinate species avoid aggressive interactions in various ways. In order to elucidate the interspecific variation in competitor-avoidance behaviour and its subsequent effect on foraging success, the behaviour of species of hornets, beetles and butterflies at patches (exudation spots) in Japan was recorded.

Simple Summary: In this study, the mitogenomes of Hestina persimilis and Hestinalis nama were obtained via sanger sequencing. Compared with other mitogenomes of Apaturinae butterflies, conclusions can be made that the mitogenomes of Hestina persimilis and Hestinalis nama are highly conservative. The phylogenetic trees build upon mitogenomic data showing that the relationships among Nymphalidae are similar to previous studies. Hestinalis nama is apart from Hestina, and closely related to Apatura, forming a monophyletic clade. Citation: Wu, Y.; Fang, H.; Wen, J.; Wang, J.; Cao, T.; He, B. Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Hestina persimilis Mitochondrial Genomes of Hestina and Hestinalis nama (Nymphalidae: Apaturinae) were acquired. The mitogenomes of H. persimilis persimilis and Hestinalis nama and H. nama are 15,252 bp and 15,208 bp in length, respectively. These two mitogenomes have the (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae): typical composition, including 37 genes and a control region.

The habitats are the natural forest on mountain, the secondary forest, the forest edge, shrub and grass from 1,400 to 1,700 m a.s.l. The study was carried out uncontinuously from May to September in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Total 132 species of 5 butterfly families were recorded during studied period. Two species listed in the Red Data Book of Vietnam and CITES are Troides aeacus and Teinopalpus imperialis. There are 33 species with individuals 1-2 (25% of all species), 44 species with individuals 3-5 (33% of all species), 14 species with individuals 6-10 (11% of all species), and 41 species with individuals more than 10 (31% of all species). Butterfly species of Dong Van karst plateau consists of 12.6% of all butterfly species of Vietnam, but the family Papilionidae of Dong Van karst plateau consists of 40% of all species of the family of Vietnam. The family Papilionidae is very important for conservation of insects. Some species distributed in Vietnam merely found in the studied area are Byasa hedistus, Papilio elwesi, Sasakia funeblis, S.

  • Observations of Nectaring by Butterflies at KFBG
    Observations of Nectaring by Butterflies at Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden August 2015 Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden Publication Series No. 14 Observation of Nectaring by Butterflies at KFBG, Hong Kong SAR China ABSTRACT Between May and September 2003 a project investigating the nectaring habits of butterflies at the Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden, Butterfly Garden was undertaken. The present document is a revision of the earlier internal report and is intended as a reference for butterfly garden management in Hong Kong and the region. Ten plant species were observed being utilized as nectar sources by 31 butterfly species using a point count method. Two plant species present in the garden, Salvia farinacea and Melampodium sp., were not visited as significant nectar sources, nor were they used by butterflies as larval hostplants. It was recommended that these plants be replaced with more attractive nectar source plants. Two butterfly species of conservation concern, Troides helenus and Troides aeacus, used nectar plants, with Agapanthus africanus being strongly preferred by T. helenus. Lantana camara, Agapanthus africanus and Duranta erecta were the most utilized nectar source plants, accounting for 71% of all nectaring observations.

  • Ring Roads and Urban Biodiversity: Distribution of Butterflies in Urban
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ring roads and urban biodiversity: distribution of butterfies in urban parks in Beijing city and Received: 1 June 2018 Accepted: 26 April 2019 correlations with other indicator Published: xx xx xxxx species Kong-Wah Sing1,2, Jiashan Luo3, Wenzhi Wang1,2,4,5, Narong Jaturas6, Masashi Soga7, Xianzhe Yang8, Hui Dong9 & John-James Wilson10,6,8 The capital of China, Beijing, has a history of more than 800 years of urbanization, representing a unique site for studies of urban ecology. Urbanization can severely impact butterfy communities, yet there have been no reports of the species richness and distribution of butterfies in urban parks in Beijing. Here, we conducted the frst butterfy survey in ten urban parks in Beijing and estimated butterfy species richness. Subsequently, we examined the distribution pattern of butterfy species and analyzed correlations between butterfy species richness with park variables (age, area and distance to city center), and richness of other bioindicator groups (birds and plants). We collected 587 individual butterfies belonging to 31 species from fve families; 74% of the species were considered cosmopolitan. The highest butterfy species richness and abundance was recorded at parks located at the edge of city and species richness was signifcantly positively correlated with distance from city center (p < 0.05). No signifcant correlations were detected between the species richness and park age, park area and other bioindicator groups (p > 0.05). Our study provides the frst data of butterfy species in urban Beijing, and serves as a baseline for further surveys and conservation eforts. China is a megadiverse country but is rapidly losing biodiversity as a consequence of socioeconomic development and expansion of urban land since the 1990s1,2.
