  • The Butterfly Fauna of Three Varying Habitats in South Western Nigeria
    FUTA Journal of Research in Sciences, 2015 (1): 1 - 6 THE BUTTERFLY FAUNA OF THREE VARYING HABITATS IN SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA *K.A. Kemabonta, A.S. Ebiyon and F. Olaleru Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria *Email of corresponding Author: [email protected] or [email protected] ABSTRACT Species diversity and abundance of butterflies were investigated at three (3) locations; Ajebo, Ogun State, Odongunyan Farm Settlement, Ikorodu and Hortico Gardens, Ipaja, Lagos using sweep nets and transects method of sampling. Biodiversity indices were calculated using Shannon-Wiener, Margalef, Simpson’s and Equitability indices. A total of 1105 butterflies belonging to 11 genera and 4 families were identified from the 3 sampled sites. Butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae were the most abundant, accounting for 70.6% of the total butterflies collected in all locations and seasons. Four species Danaus chrysippus, Acraea serena, Melanargia galathea (Nymphalidae) and Eurema sp. (Pieridae) were found in the three sites. Acraea (200), Danaus (140), Melanargia (129) (all in the family Nymphalidae) were the most abundant butterfly genera found in the study sites. Ajebo had the least diversity of butterflies in all the two seasons, while Hortico Gardens, Ipaja had the highest. Odongunyan farm land was the most equitable (j = 1.09) of the three sampled sites.

  • Butterflies in Ologbo Forest
    BUTTERFLIES IN OLOGBO FOREST Dr. Oskar Brattström [email protected] Survey efforts and methodology This survey combines data from tree visits to Ologbo. Initially Robert Warren made a two day survey 8-9 June 2006 and this brief visit produced a number of interesting records. I made a preliminary visit 27-31 October 2008 to asses if the area had potential for future butterfly studies. The result from these two shorter was promising and I therefore returned 22 March – 2 April 2009 to make a more detailed study. The main survey efforts have been concentrated two the South and North-west parts of the Ologbo Forest. Butterflies were captured using hand netting (most days between 09:30-14:00) and banana/pineapple baited traps, in most cases traps were left in the field over nights and re-baited at regular intervals. Captured specimens were either identified immediately in the field or brought back for later identification. There are still a large number of specimens waiting identification. Some species were also indentified on the wings when capture was not possible. One day was spent in the plantation itself (South of the Dura Club) to get an idea of what species of butterflies are present in an area with fully matured oil palms some distance away from a semi-natural forest. In this area only hand netting and visual observation was used, as the typical canopy species which can often only be recorded using traps hardly occur in this type habitat. In general it was very easy to detect and identify butterflies in this more open type of habitat and most of the species were well known savannah butterflies.

BAIDOO i ABSTRACT Despite substantial loss of natural forest in Bosumkese forest reserve by inhabitants, little is known on the effects of the massive habitat loss and degradation on its forest biota. To investigate the effects of anthropogenic disturbances, butterflies were surveyed in three forest types identified in the forest reserve namely, disturbed canopy (DC), and slightly disturbed canopy (SDC) and undisturbed canopy (UC) which was the control site for the study. Questionnaire and interview schedules were the main instruments used in collecting data on the threat of human activities affecting the forest reserve. The data was analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS and the results presented in percentages and means.

The study of butterflies’ species composition, their distribution and abundance in Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife was carried out between May to June 2016 and 2017. The study area was stratified into three locations (developed, cultivated and undeveloped). Direct methods using both butterfly bait trap and butterfly net (hand net) was adopted. Data obtained were analysed both by descriptive (tables and charts) and inferential (ANOVA) statistics. PAST Software (Version 16) was used for analysis of butterfly Diversity indices (Dominance, Shannon's Wiener and Evenness). One way ANOVA was used to test for significant difference in the diversity indices and abundance in the three locations. A total of 65 species from 5 families were recorded during this study. Cultivated area had the highest number of 62 species; developed area had 50 species while undeveloped areas had 56 species. The result also revealed that Junonia oenone is the most abundant with the sighting frequency of 30, followed by Hamanumida daedalus with 22 and the butterfly species with least frequency of occurrence are: Cymothe coccinata, Ypthima vuattouxi, Cyrestia camillus, Eupaedra ihermis, Hypolycaena philippus with a sighting frequency of 1.

Box 4241 Kampala, Uganda www.tourism.go.ug [email protected] © RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES IN UGANDA 2018 Ministry of Wildlife, Tourism and Antiquities Foreword Uganda is a signatory to several international conventions that relate to the conservation of all biodiversity in the country such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and Cartagena protocol all intended for the benefit local communities and global community. Species are disappearing due to various pressures on natural resources. Due to human population increasing trends and development pressures, previously intact habitats both protected and on private land have been converted, cleared and/or degraded leading to a decline in species population and diversity. The effects of climate change, which are hard to forecast in terms of pace and pattern, will probably also accelerate extinctions in unknown ways. Studies have been conducted to tally the number of species of animals, plants and fungi that still exist globally. However the estimates normally produced are based on the International Union of Conservation of Nature criterion that at times overshadows the national scales.
