Northward Range Expansion of Southern Butterflies According to Climate Change in South Korea

However, in South Korea, few studies on the northward range expansion of insects, particularly butterflies, have been conducted. Therefore, we selected eight species of southern butterflies and calculated the potential species richness values and their range expansion in different provinces of Korea under two climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modeling approach. Based on these model predictions, areas of suitable habitat, species richness, and species expansion of southern butterflies are expected to increase in provinces in the northern regions ( >36°N latitude), particularly in Chungcheongbuk, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Incheon, and Seoul.

Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs
20182018 Green RoofsUrban and Naturalist Urban Biodiversity SpecialSpecial Issue No. Issue 1:16–38 No. 1 A. Nagase, Y. Yamada, T. Aoki, and M. Nomura URBAN NATURALIST Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs Ayako Nagase1,*, Yoriyuki Yamada2, Tadataka Aoki2, and Masashi Nomura3 Abstract - Urban biodiversity is an important ecological goal that drives green-roof in- stallation. We studied 2 kinds of green roofs designed to optimize biodiversity benefits: the Harappa (extensive) roof and the Biotope (intensive) roof. The Harappa roof mimics vacant-lot vegetation. It is relatively inexpensive, is made from recycled materials, and features community participation in the processes of design, construction, and mainte- nance. The Biotope roof includes mainly native and host plant species for arthropods, as well as water features and stones to create a wide range of habitats. This study is the first to showcase the Harappa roof and to compare biodiversity on Harappa and Biotope roofs. Arthropod species richness was significantly greater on the Biotope roof. The Harappa roof had dynamic seasonal changes in vegetation and mainly provided habitats for grassland fauna. In contrast, the Biotope roof provided stable habitats for various arthropods. Herein, we outline a set of testable hypotheses for future comparison of these different types of green roofs aimed at supporting urban biodiversity. Introduction Rapid urban growth and associated anthropogenic environmental change have been identified as major threats to biodiversity at a global scale (Grimm et al. 2008, Güneralp and Seto 2013). Green roofs can partially compensate for the loss of green areas by replacing impervious rooftop surfaces and thus, contribute to urban biodiversity (Brenneisen 2006).

The work entitled "Observing butterflies and moths" begins with a prologue by Dr. Richard S. Peigler, followed by a useful introduction where the authors explain the aim of the book and reveal how it has been structured. It consists of 62 independent subjects, that can be read independently from one another, hence it is not necessary to begin with subject 1 to finish with subject 62. They are included within five thematic chapters as follows. Chapter 1, "Understanding butterflies and moths", includes nine subjects. Here the authors introduce the layman into the world of Arthropoda, Insecta and finally Lepidoptera. The species concept, the evolution and origin of the Lepidoptera, their special senses and vision, their wing patterns, colours and wing scales are also considered in this first chapter. Chapter 2, "The living cycle", includes nine subjects. In this chapter, the four stages of a lepidopteran life cycle — from egg to adult — are considered as well as some of the special adaptations they show to cope with the different environments they live in. Other aspects dealt with in this chapter are sexual di- or polymorphism, gynandromorphism, seasonal polyphenism and diapause.

First Record of Cacyreus Marshalli in Greece, and Comments on the Potential Occurrence of Zizeeria Karsandra on the Greek Island of Crete (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
First record of Cacyreus marshalli in Greece, and comments on the potential occurrence of Zizeeria karsandra on the Greek island of Crete (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Hristos T. Anastassiu, Nikos Ghavalas & John G. Coutsis Abstract. A thriving colony of Cacyreus marshalli (Butler, 1898) is reported for the first time from Greece. The butterflies appeared in large numbers in late summer and throughout autumn of 2009 in parkland and gardens in the northern suburbs of Athens. Introduced Pelargonium plants in a particular park were identified as the most probable explanation of this sudden occurrence. Moreover, the authors’ persistent, yet unsuccessful efforts to locate Zizeeria karsandra (Moore, 1865) on the island of Crete are discussed. Samenvatting. Eerste vermelding van Cacyreus marshalli in Griekenland, en bemerkingen over het mogelijke voorkomen van Zizeeria karsandra op het Griekse eiland Kreta (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Een succesvolle kolonie Cacyreus marshalli (Butler, 1898) wordt voor het eerst uit Griekenland vermeld. De vlinders vlogen talrijk in de nazomer en de herfst van 2009 in parken en tuinen van de noordelijke buitenwijken van Athene. De meest waarschijnlijke oorzaak van dit plotse voorkomen zijn de talrijke Pelargonium planten in een van deze parken. Verder worden de doorgedreven, maar tot nu toe onsuccesvolle, pogingen besproken om het voorkomen van Zizeeria karsandra (Moore, 1865) op Kreta te bevestigen. Résumé. Première mention de Cacyreus marshalli en Grèce, et remarques sur la présence éventuelle de Zizeeria karsandra en Crête (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Une colonie florissante de Cacyreus marshalli (Butler, 1898) est mentionnée pour la première fois en Grèce. Les papillons volaient en grand nombre pendant la fin de l'été et l'automne de 2009 dans des parcs et jardins des quartiers septentrionaux d'Athène.

About 100,000 species of mollusks are known, and the Florida Museum holds more than 30,000 species among 400,000 lots of specimens. More than 300,000 lots are now databased and accessible online (flmnh.ufl.edu/ malacology/collections.htm). The collection is among the five largest in the U.S., and one of the most rapidly growing. It is the second largest mollusk collection worldwide in online accessibility. (left) Marine Malacology Curator Gustav Paulay surveys the biodiversity of Kiritimati Island in the Pacific.
