Colotis evagore Klug, 1829 ( = daira Klug) (Véase Lámina 111, figs. 17 y 18). Superfamilia: Papilionoidea Familia: Pieridae Subfamilia: Teracolinae Género: Colotis Hubner, 1819 Status: Vulnerable (anteriormente considerada especie migradora). Planta nutricia: Capparis spinosa (alcaparrera) de las caparidáceas, muy abundante en el Sureste español, estando citada también en Africa de especies de la propia familia pertenecientes a los géneros Cadaba y Maerua. Distribución: Desde hace treinta años venía detectándose en forma muy irregular su presencia en Almería, desapareciendo durante tres o cuatro años y volviendo a aparecer, pero puede considerarse ya establecida de acuerdo con numerosos observadores, que, desde la aparición del Libro Rojo de los Lepidópteros Ibéricos, han seguido su ciclo biológico sobre las alcaparreras de Málaga, Granada y Almería y más recientemente de Jaén (Alcaudete, Martos y Ubeda), incluido un ejemplar en San Lúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz). Las citas de Almería se encuentran en Adra, estribaciones de la Sierra de Gádor, Tabernas y Berja, habiendo penetrado en la provincia de Granada, La Malá, Arenas del Rey y Moraleda de Zafayona, Granada capital y Sierra de Alfacar y citada repetidamente de Torrox (costa malagueña); la última cita de cría es de Villajoyosa (Alicante), volando desde el nivel del mar a las mayores altitudes en que se ha descubierto en Granada de hasta 750 metros, Hábitat: Siempre unida a las alcaparreras que crecen en el llano o en las laderas más o menos abruptas circundantes. Ciclo biológico: Tiene varias generaciones y su oruga efectúa cuatro mudas, estando en vuelo en la amplia zona andaluza antes mencionada desde junio hasta noviembre, en varias generaciones sin solución de continuidad, pudiendo adscribirse las colonias españolas a la subespecie nouna ( = granadensis). Recomendaciones: Vigilancia continuada de las distintas colonias descubiertas por los entomólogos locales y establecimiento de reservas naturales con objeto de comprobar si continúa completando su ciclo biológico, cosa que se afirma por los investigadores que estudian su presencia en España y que mantienen a través de SHILAP Revta. lepid. una actualización perfecta de datos.

Lepidoptera, butterflies, Gibraltar, migration, phenology, species composition Abstract. In order to understand patterns of abundances of migratory Lepidoptera in southernmost Europe and contrast this with those of sedentary species, we studied butterflies surveyed along transects during three spring migration seasons at the Rock of Gibraltar. Overall, 2508 butterflies belonging to 19 species were recorded. Of these, the four most numerous species accounted for almost 88% of all individuals recorded. These were the migratory Clouded Yellow Colias croceus, Red Admiral Vanessa atalanta and Painted Lady Vanessa cardui, and the sedentary Common Blue Polyommatus icarus. There was a significant correlation between abundance of P. icarus and C. croceus. Furthermore, abundances of C.

Climate Change and Habitat Associations At
CLIMATE CHANGE AND HABITAT ASSOCIATIONS AT SPECIES’ RANGE BOUNDARIES Thesis submitted by Rachel Mary Pateman For examination for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Biology July 2012 1 Abstract ABSTRACT Species are more restricted in their habitat associations at their leading-edge range margins where climatic conditions are marginal. Hence they are predicted to broaden their associations in these locations as the climate warms, potentially increasing habitat availability and rates of range expansion. I analysed long-term distribution records (collected by volunteers) and abundance data (UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme transect data) to investigate how the habitat and host plant associations of two butterfly species that reach their leading-edge range margins in Britain have changed over 40 years of climate warming. The speckled wood (Pararge aegeria) is primarily associated with woodland but its habitat associations vary spatially and temporally. I found that this species has a weaker association with woodland in warmer parts of Britain, particularly in regions with warm and wet summers. Over time, its occurrence outside of woodland has increased most where summer and winter temperatures and summer rainfall have increased the most. Field experiments showed that larval performance is poorer in open (grassland) than closed (woodland) habitats, associated with microclimatic differences between habitats. Thus I conclude that slower population growth rates outside woodland play an important role in driving the observed variation in habitat associations. The brown argus (Aricia agestis) was previously restricted to using rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium) as its larval host plant in Britain, which grows in locations with warm microclimates. I have shown that warmer summers have allowed it to increase its use of Geraniaceae host species, which occur in cooler locations.

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.

Oskar Brattström - Nigerian butterflies Click here to email the author Version 1.1 WHITES and SULPHURS (Family Pieridae) Savannah Dotted Border (Mylothris aburi) OSKAR BRATTSTRÖM UPDATED ON 16TH OF NOVEMBER, 2020 WHITES and SULPHURS (Family Pieridae) The Whites and Sulphurs are a family of medium- sized butterflies with mainly white, yellow and orange ground colour on their wings with darker, often black, additional markings. Many species are widespread and found in most parts of sub- Saharan Africa, but some genera like Mylothris, have numerous local endemics. Many Pieridae are intra-African migrants, following the annual rain cycle. In West Africa, that generally means they are found further south during the dry season, and then move back north during the wet season. This guide contains a selection of mostly common or easily identifiable species, while complex genera are only partially covered.

Effects of Global Warming on Predatory Bugs Supported by Data Across Geographic and Seasonal Climatic Gradients
Effects of Global Warming on Predatory Bugs Supported by Data Across Geographic and Seasonal Climatic Gradients Tarryn Schuldiner-Harpaz*, Moshe Coll Department of Entomology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel Abstract Global warming may affect species abundance and distribution, as well as temperature-dependent morphometric traits. In this study, we first used historical data to document changes in Orius (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) species assemblage and individual morphometric traits over the past seven decades in Israel. We then tested whether these changes could have been temperature driven by searching for similar patterns across seasonal and geographic climatic gradients in a present survey. The historical records indicated a shift in the relative abundance of dominant Orius species; the relative abundance of O. albidipennis, a desert-adapted species, increased while that of O. laevigatus decreased in recent decades by 6 and 10– 15 folds, respectively. These shifts coincided with an overall increase of up to 2.1uC in mean daily temperatures over the last 25 years in Israel. Similar trends were found in contemporary data across two other climatic gradients, seasonal and geographic; O. albidipennis dominated Orius assemblages under warm conditions. Finally, specimens collected in the present survey were significantly smaller than those from the 1980’s, corresponding to significantly smaller individuals collected now during warmer than colder seasons. Taken together, results provide strong support to the hypothesis that temperature is the most likely driver of the observed shifts in species composition and body sizes because (1) historical changes in both species assemblage and body size were associated with rising temperatures in the study region over the last few decades; and (2) similar changes were observed as a result of contemporary drivers that are associated with temperature.
