Butterflies and Moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) of the Lokrum Island, Southern Dalmatia
NAT. CROAT. VOL. 29 Suppl.No 2 1227-24051-57 ZAGREB DecemberMarch 31, 31, 2021 2020 original scientific paper / izvorni znanstveni rad DOI 10.20302/NC.2020.29.29 BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTERA) OF THE LOKRUM ISLAND, SOUTHERN DALMATIA Toni Koren Association Hyla, Lipovac I 7, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia (e-mail: [email protected]) Koren, T.: Butterflies and moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) of the Lokrum island, southern Dalmatia. Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

It has not yet been elucidated whether these differences also occur in terms of the bryophyte’s suitability to bryophages. Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. is a morphologically variable moss species frequently inhabited or fed by insects. In this investigation, we offered five morphotypes of H. cupressiforme to two bryophagous species of Citation: Pyszko, P.; Drgová, M.; Byrrhidae (Coleoptera) to reveal whether the intrataxonomic variability affects beetles’ preferences.
