This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Diversity of butterfly communities of a tropical rain forest of Bu Gia Map National Park in South Vietnam was studied in four different habitat types (the natural forest, the disturbed forest, the bamboo forest, and the stream sides in the forest) in December 2008 and April 2009. A total of 112 species with 1703 individuals of Papilionoidae (except Lycaenidae) were recorded. The proportion of rare species tends to decrease from the natural forest to the stream sides, while the proportion of common species tends to increase from the natural forest to the stream sides. The stream sides have the greatest individual number, while the disturbed forest contains the greatest species number. The bamboo forest has the least species and individual numbers. -

A Checklist of Butterflies of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site, Pahang, Malaysia
Journal of Wildlife and Parks, 30: 15-26 (2015) A CHECKLIST OF BUTTERFLIES OF TASEK BERA RAMSAR SITE, PAHANG, MALAYSIA Tan Cheng Cheng*, Shahid Tajuddin, Mohd Fadlli Mahat & Tan Poai Ean Biodiversity Conservation Division, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), Peninsular Malaysia, KM 10 Jalan Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tasek Bera, Pahang is recognised as an important international wetlands area under The Ramsar Convention since 1994. Butterfly surveys were conducted during the 2014 Biodiversity Inventory Programme in two sampling occasions: 7th–13th May and 13th–19th August. The objective of this survey is to document the butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) species diversity for future management and conservation. A total of 289 butterflies were collected, 125 species from five families were identified from both sampling occasions. Nymphalidae (48%) is the most diverse family, followed by Lycaenidae (23%), Pieridae (15%), Papilionidae (12%) and Riodinidae (2%). Among the 125 species recorded, 57 species were recorded in May, 39 species in August and 29 species in both sampling occasions. More species of The reported families Namphalidae covered 33%, Papilionidae 10%, and Pieridae 57% biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.The reported families Namphalidae covered 33%, Papilionidae 10%, and Pieridae 57% biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.Lycaenidae, Pieridae and Papilionidae were recorded in May compared to August. Conversely, Nymphalidae species recorded in August was nearly double the number of species recorded in May. The availability of host and nectar plants might be one of the factors that affect the butterfly diversity. The present list of butterfly is not exhaustive, therefore prolonged surveys using various sampling methods are recommended to update the butterfly checklist of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site. -

The study was conducted from 2016 to 2020, covering different seasons namely pre-monsoon (Jan-Apr), monsoon (May-Aug) and post-monsoon (Sep-Dec) respectively. The study reports 2 species under schedule I, 25 species under schedule II, and 5 species under schedule IV of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. This study also documented seasonal diversity and habitat-wise occurrence of butterflies in and around the Unakoti Archaeolog- ical Site. During the study, 59 butterfly species were recorded as new additions to the butterfly fauna of Tripura.
