OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: 1. The basin study envisages providing optimum support for various natural processes and allowing sustainable activities undertaken by its inhabitants. The same is determined in terms of the following: Inventorisation and analysis of the existing resource base and its production, consumption and conservation levels. Determination of regional ecological fragility / sensitivity based on geo-physical, biological, socio-economic and cultural attributes. Review of existing and planned developments as per various developmental plans. Evaluation of impacts on various facets of environment due to existing and planned development. The study should involve assessment of stress load due to varied activities covering e.g. exploitation of natural resources, industrial development, population growth which lead to varying degree of impacts on various facets of environment. The basin study should also envisage a broad framework of environmental action plan to mitigate the adverse impacts on environment which should be in the form of: Preclusion of an activity Infrastructure development Modification in the planned activity Implementation of set of measures for amelioration of adverse impacts. The basin study is a step beyond the EIA, as it incorporates an integrated approach to assess the impacts due to various developmental projects. 2. STUDY AREA The study area to be covered as a part of the Basin Study is for entire Subansiri Basin. The study should be based on secondary as well as primary data collection. 3. PROJECTS ENVISAGED IN SUBANSIRI BASIN Nineteen (19) projects are envisaged in the study area to be covered in the Subansiri basin. The details of the same are given below in Table.

DATA COLLECTION In the present study emphasis should be laid on terrestrial and aquatic ecology. The estimation of supportive capacity of the basin should involve the preparation of the existing scenario i.e., the preparation of detailed data base of the basins. This should be accomplished through the steps outlined in following sections. 4.1 Meteorology The information on various meteorological aspects is to be collected from India Meteorological Department (IMD) for meteorological stations located within the basin area on in vicinity to the basin boundary. The information on various aspects such as rainfall, temperature wind, humidity etc. will be collected. 4.2 Water Resources The information on following aspects should be collected: Review of drainage characteristics of the basin, including various surface

KEY WORDS Lepidoptera! inventory1 tropical rainforesti species diversity1 species richness! insect fauna Introduction The primary lowland forests in the Southeast Asian (SEA) tropics are characterized by the extremely species-rich biodiversity (Whitmore 1998). Arthropod assemblages comprise the main part of the biodiversity in tropical rainforests (Erwin 1982, Wilson 1992). Many inventory studies have been done focusing on various arthropod taxa to reveal the species-richness of arthropod assemblages in SEA tropical rainforests (e.g. Holloway & lntachat 2003). The butterfly is one of the most studied taxonomic groups in arthropods in the SEA region; the accumulated information on the taxonomy and geographic distribution were organized by Tsukada & Nishiyama (1980), Yata & Morishita (1981), Aoki et al.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

Keywords: Biodiversity, Bibasis sena, Bindahara phocides, Conservation, Discovery Introduction Tropical regions are very rich in biodiversity but we know very little about them. Because of that, almost 40000 already estimates to have gone extinct over the past 600 years, only 70 have been documented, half of which were Lepidoptera [1]. The world contains roughly 18000- 20000 species of butterflies, of which most are distributed in the tropical region [2, 3]. Butterflies are a biodiversity indicator group and the redundancy of a forest or an area largely depends upon the abundance and diversity of butterflies [4].

    國立臺灣師範大學生命科學系碩士論文 颯弄蝶屬之分子親緣與系統研究 Molecular phylogeny and systematics of the genus Satarupa Moore, 1865 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Pyrginae) 研究生: 莊懷淳 Huai-chun Chuang 指導教授: 徐堉峰 博士 Yu-Feng Hsu 千葉秀幸 博士 Hideyuki Chiba 中華民國 102 年 7 月 致謝 首先要感謝我的父母，經過多番的波折與衝突答應讓我長久以來的心 願能夠一邊實驗一邊做田野調查。並且非常的感謝我的論文指導教 授，徐堉峰教授，給予我如此自由的環境讓我實驗。並且也要感謝實 驗室的各位夥伴，讓整個實驗室充滿了活潑的環境讓原本枯燥的研究 過程增添豐富的色彩，猶如雨天過後的七彩彩虹。感謝實驗室的學長 姐們帶領我野外調查並且獲得台灣難以獲得的樣本。並且也要感謝提 供我國外樣本的千葉秀幸博士，讓我獲得許多困難獲取的樣本，以及 提供我很多論文寫作的相關意見。當然一定要感謝提供如此高規格的 實驗環境的李壽先老師，並且在很多思考上給予很大的啟發，並且教 導我在很多表達上的細節與邏輯。感謝林思民老師在口試與報告的時 候給予我許多中肯的意見。也要感謝共同陪我奮鬥的同學們，一起在 實驗室熬夜趕 ppt 等口頭報告。最後最後一定要感謝這兩年來一起共 同奮鬥的顏嘉瑩同學，在這兩年一起度過了非常多的挫折與試煉，如 果沒有他我這兩年的色彩會黯淡許多。要感謝的人太多，寥寥字詞無 法述說滿滿的感謝，就如陳之藩所言：「要感謝的人太多，不如謝天 吧！」 Contents 中文摘要…………………………...……………………..……1 Abstract…………………………………………………..……2 Introduction………………………………….………….….…4 Materials and methods…………………………………….…8 Results……………………………………………………..….12 Discussion……………………………………………….……14 References...………………………………………………..…18 Tables………………………………………………….……...25 Figures………………………………………………….…….29 Appendix……………………………….……………………37 中文摘要 親緣關係為生物研究的基礎，弄蝶親緣關係已有高階親緣關係發表， 在屬級的親緣關係尚有不足之處。颯弄蝶屬屬特徵為前翅 2A 至 R3 脈之間有透明的斑紋與後翅具有大片的白塊。因颯弄蝶種之間的形態 太過於相似，許多發表尚有辨識錯誤的情形。Evans 在 1949 整理為 7 種，Okano (1987) 和 Chiba (1989) 則認為颯弄蝶屬為 valentini, zulla, gopala, nymphalis, splendens, monbeigi 和 formosibia。以翅形與幼蟲型 態 S. formosibia 與 S. monbeigi 應屬於同一類群，但是前者外生殖器卻 並不典型。Shirôzu 將 S. majasra 處理為 gopala 的亞種，但 Tsukiyama 處理為 nymphalis 的亞種。颯弄蝶屬近緣屬皆為熱帶分布，颯弄蝶卻 分布自爪哇至溫帶的西伯利亞。建構颯弄蝶屬親緣關係可以確立 formosibia 及 majasra 的分類地位並且了解颯弄蝶屬的溫帶分布是由 熱帶分布至溫帶或原本分布在溫帶。本研究使用 COI, COII 與 Ef1α
