Environmental factors influencing butterfly abun- dance after a severe wildfire in Mediterranean vegetation.Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 38.2: 207–220. Abstract Environmental factors influencing butterfly abundance after a severe wildfire in Mediterranean vegetation.— Despite the attention given to the ecology of butterflies, little is known about their community response to wildfires in the Mediterranean region. Here, we evaluated the butterfly assemblage two years after a severe, 13,000 ha wildfire in Catalonia (NE Spain) in relation to the surrounding unburned habitat. Using visual transect censuses we assessed community parameters such as abundance, diversity, species richness and equitability in burned and unburned areas. Correspondence analysis was used to analyse specific composition and relative abundance of species in the community. The influence of environmental variables on the abundance of some common species was analysed using generalized linear mixed models, taking spatial effects into account. No significant differences were found between areas for any of the community parameters, and no dominance was detected in the burned area. The structure of the vegetation and the geographical distribution of transects influenced the ordination of species and transects on the correspondence analysis plot. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) results underscored the role of nectar availability, fire and vegetation structure on the abundance of most species studied. -

It is based on a concatenated alignment of the mitochondrial gene COI and up to 11 nuclear gene fragments, using Bayesian inference of phylogeny. To avoid analytical biases that could result from our region-focus sampling, our European tree was grafted upon a global genus- level backbone butterfly phylogeny for analyses. In addition to a consensus tree, we provide the posterior distribution of trees and the fully-concatenated alignment for future analyses. -
Seasonal Dynamics of the Sinai Baton Blue Butterfly
Egyptian Journal of Biology, 2006, Vol. 8, pp 51-66 © Printed in Egypt. Egyptian British Biological Society (EBB Soc) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Intra-patch movement in the Sinai Baton Blue butterfly: influence of micro-habitat and individual characteristics Mike James School of Biology, Nottingham University, Nottingham NG7 2RD ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process in metapopulation biology. The transfer of individuals among patches of suitable habitat has been widely studied, and rates of movement and the factors influencing these investigated. However, relatively few metapopulation studies have examined movement of individuals within a patch of habitat, and none of these have related intra-patch movement to inter- patch movement (dispersal). The intra-patch movement of a narrowly endemic butterfly Pseudophilotes sinaicus (Lycaenidae) that exists in a metapopulation structure was studied. It was found to be extremely sedentary, rarely moving more than 40 m in or between days, and occupying a very small area during its residency of the study patch. Its level of movement (distance between sightings) and the factors affecting this depended on its sex, and was primarily determined by the density of conspecifics in its immediate vicinity. Other factors also influenced movement, notably the phenology and size of hostplants in an individual’s immediate vicinity. Responding to these variables in a predictable way can be regarded as strategies enabling the butterfly to locate mates, food, and oviposition sites, and to escape resource depletion, and intraspecific competitors. These behavioural patterns are similar to mechanisms involved in dispersal of individuals among patches of habitat in fragmented landscapes. INTRODUCTION Ongoing habitat destruction means that for many species, areas of suitable habitat are becoming more and more fragmented, and consequently local populations of animals are becoming small and isolated. -

Las especies estudiadas pertenecen a 15 géneros y corresponden a una especie de la tribu Theclini, una de Eumaeini, dos de Lycaenini y 14 Polyommatini. En cinco de ellas se han estudiado las emisiones de la larva y en las otras trece las producidas tanto por la larva como por la pupa. Las larvas de todas las especies estudiadas emitieron sonidos, así como el 77% de las pupas. Se ha estudiado la frecuencia y estructura de la señal emitida en cada especie. El mecanismo de emisión acústica es diferente en larvas y pupas: en las primeras no se ha observado la existencia de un aparato estridulador, mientras que las pupas presentan aparatos estriduladores intersegmentales abdominales. Las larvas de dos especies de Lycaena, asi como Cacyreus marshalli y Agriades pyrenaicus producen sonidos en la fase de larva, pero son amirmecófilas y no se han encontrado diferencias en la emisión de sonido entre larvas mirmnecófilas y amirmecófilas. Las pupas de las especies no mirmecófilas no emiten sonido, con la excepción de Lycaena phlaeas. Tres de las especies estudiadas (Glaucopsyche alexis, Iolana debilitata y Pseudophilotes panoptes) no emiten sonido en la fase de pupa aunque son mirmecófilas. -

For the first 6 Lycaenidae species mentioned, we have been able to identify for the first time ant species associated with their larvae. With regards to Laeosopis roboris (ESPE R , ) we have also found ant associations with larvae as well as with their pupae (presently there is very little information on pupal myrmecophily in Lycaenidae).

Ecological Trends in Endemic Mediterranean Butterflies
Bulletin of Insectology 63 (2): 161-170, 2010 ISSN 1721-8861 Ecological trends in endemic Mediterranean butterflies Julián S. LÓPEZ-VILLALTA Dpto. de Biología y Geología. IES Ramón Giraldo, Villanueva de los Infantes, Ciudad Real, Spain Abstract In our knowledge of Palaearctic insects there is a research gap concerning ecological and/or evolutionary features associated with Mediterranean conditions in general and with Mediterranean endemicity in particular. This subject is here addressed from the case study of one of the better known insect groups: butterflies (Lepidoptera Rhopalocera). Life-history traits of 23 Mediterranean en- demic butterfly species (excluding mountain and island endemics), each one belonging to a different genus, are here compared with those of non-endemic species of the same genera with a widespread distribution outside as well as inside the Mediterranean Region. Endemic butterflies tend to have relatively fewer generations per year, earlier adult emergence, shorter flying period and a more restricted reported diet as caterpillars, with less diversity of host plant genera and a larger use of exclusive genera. No dif- ferences in wintering stage were found. The shorter flying period may be an effect of the higher altitude of the habitat of some endemics compared with that of their widespread counterparts. Evidence is presented supporting the hypothesis that the earlier start of the flying period is due to adaptive evolution in univoltine-bivoltine Mediterranean endemics in order to avoid the delete- rious effects of summer drought in caterpillars. The origin of all these differences is discussed from the scope of metapopulation genetics. Key words: Rhopalocera, phenology, voltinism, adaptation, summer drought.
