The potential longevity, fecundity, mating frequencies, behaviour, and sea- sonal reproductive biology were studied in several satyrine butterflies belonging to the genera Hipparchia, Chazara and Kanetisa, in an area located in central Spain. All the species studied appear to be potentially long-lived, and a relatively long period of pre- oviposition is shown to occur in C. briseis and K. circe. Potential fecundity varies between 250 and 800 eggs depending on the species (with maxima exceeding 1300 eggs in K. circe). The results are discussed in terms of the possible ecological relationships between adult ecological traits and the species abundance, and the possibility of a marked geographic variation between species, that might be of interest in relation to specific management and conservation. Zusammenfassung. Für mehrere Vertreter der Gattungen Hipparchia, Chazara und Kanetisa (Satyrinae) wurden in einem Gebiet in Zentralspanien potentielle Lebensdauer, potentielle Fekundität, Paarungshäufigkeiten im Freiland und saisonaler Verlauf der Reproduktionstätigkeit untersucht. Alle untersuchten Arten sind potentiell langlebig, eine relativ lange Präovipositionsperiode tritt bei C. briseis und K circe auf. Die potentielle Fekundität variiert je nach Art zwischen 250 und 800 Eiern (mit einem Maximum von über 1300 Eiern bei K circe). -

Butterflies, elevation, timing of the flight period, duration of the flight period, phenology, Serranía de Cuenca Abstract. One of the best documented effects of climate change on biodiversity are shifts in phenology. However, long-term data quantifying and projecting the expected changes in phenology associated with climate warming are limited to a few well-recorded areas in the world. In the absence of temporal recording, an alternative approach is to determine the phenological response of species along marked gradients in climate or along latitudinal or altitudinal transects (space-for-time substitution). We studied the phenology (timing and duration of the flight period) of butterflies in 2006 along an altitudinal gradient (900–1680 m; estimated temperature lapse rate = –6.6°C/km) in the Serranía de Cuenca (central Spain) at the assemblage and individual species levels. Timing of the flight period was later for assemblages at high than at low altitudes. A similar trend of an increasing delay in the flight period with altitude was recorded for some individual species. However, there were also some exceptions to this pattern regardless of the number of sites and the altitudinal ranges of the species, suggesting possible local adaptation to regional climate. -

Within and Between Species Scaling in the Weight, Water, Carbon And
Eur. J. Entomol. 103: 559–568, 2006 ISSN 1210-5759 Within and between species scaling in the weight, water, carbon and nitrogen contents of eggs and neonate larvae of twelve satyrine butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) ENRIQUE GARCÍA-BARROS Department of Biology (Zoology), Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Allometry, carbon, chorion, egg, elemental-composition, larvae, Lepidoptera, nitrogen, Nymphalidae, reproduction, size Abstract. The fresh weight, dry weight, and C and N content of the eggs, egg shells and neonate larvae of several satyrines were measured. This was done in order to assess the specificity of the composition of the egg and larvae, the phylogenetic or ecological nature of the variation and the existence of structural constraints on the composition of the offspring. All the traits investigated were found to be highly species-specific. The nature of the variation was not primarily phylogenetic, suggesting that the composition of the offspring has an ecological meaning. However, only a slight association was detected between three life history traits or habitat features and the compositions of the eggs or larvae, namely: female egg dropping was associated with a high C content of the eggs, xerophily with a high C : N ratio, and a high content of N in the larvae with egg diapause. The evidence for intra-specific allometry between the traits investigated and egg weight varied among the species, suggesting that the slope of such relationship may be a spe- cific feature. There was a close to isometric relationship between C and N contents in every species. -
Effects of Climatic Change on the Phenology of Butterflies in The

Butterflies stand out as one of the most popular groups of indicators of climatic change, given that, firstly, they are poikilothermic and, secondly, have been the subject of thorough monitoring programmes in several countries for a number of decades. Here we provide for the first time strong evidence of phenological change as a consequence of recent climatic warming in butterflies at a Spanish site in the northwest Mediterranean Basin. By means of the widely used Butterfly Monitoring Scheme methodology, three different phenological parameters were analysed for the most common species to test for trends over time and relationships with temperature and precipitation. Between 1988 and 2002, there was a tendency for earlier first appearance dates in all 17 butterfly species tested, and significant advances in mean flight dates in 8 out of 19 species. On the other hand, the shape of the curve of adult emergence did not show any regular pattern. These changes paralleled an increase of 1–1.5 1C in mean February, March and June temperatures. Likewise, a correlation analysis indicated the strong negative effect of spring temperature on phenological parameters (i.e. -

Lukhtanov ([email protected]) Abstract. Davidina, an enigmatic butterfly genus described from China in the 19th century, has been long time considered a member of the family Pieridae due to its pierid-like wing pattern. In the 20th century, it was transferred to the family Satyridae (now subfamily Satyrinae of Nymphalidae) based on analysis of genitalia structure and placed next to the species-rich genus Oeneis (subtribe Satyrina), being separated from the latter by supposed differences in wing venation. Here we conducted phylogenetic and taxonomic study of the subtribe Satyrina using analysis of molecular and morphological characters. We show that the genus Oeneis is not monophyletic, and consists of two non-sister, genetically diverged and morphologically differentiated groups (Oeneis s.s. and Protoeneis). We also demonstrate that Davidina is closely related to Protoeneis, not to Oeneis s.s. -
A New Comprehensive Trait Database of European and Maghreb

European butterfies are an indicator group that responds rapidly to environmental changes with extensive citizen science contributions to documenting changes of abundance and distribution. Species traits have been used to explain long- and short-term responses to climate, land-use and vegetation changes. Studies are often characterised by limited trait sets being used, with risks that the relative roles of diferent traits are not fully explored. Butterfy trait information is dispersed amongst various sources and descriptions sometimes difer between sources. We have therefore drawn together multiple information sets to provide a comprehensive trait database covering 542 taxa and 25 traits described by 217 variables and sub-states of the butterfies of Europe and Maghreb (northwest Africa) which should serve for improved trait-based ecological, conservation- related, phylogeographic and evolutionary studies of this group of insects. We provide this data in two forms; the basic data and as processed continuous and multinomial data, to enhance its potential usage. Background & Summary Te taxonomy, distribution, and biology of European butterfies has been studied since the 18th century. Due to the precise knowledge of changes in distribution and abundance, driven by extensive citizen science contribu- tions, and their trophic specialisation and immediate responses to environmental changes1 they are frequently used as indicators of environmental change2. -

El primer pas fou confeccionar un catàleg de les espècies de la superfamília Papilionoidea, i aquest és el primer objectiu del present article. El segon és descriure la dinàmica anual de cada espècie amb l’època de vol, així com la hibernació i el nombre de generacions. El tercer fou estudiar l’estructura de la comunitat de papallones: abundància relativa d’espècies, famílies i subfamílies per un cantó i diversitat i uniformitat globals i llur evolució temporal per un altre. Finalment, s’analitza la relació entre el voltinisme, la hibernació i la filogènia de les espècies. Per tal de confeccionar el catàleg es realitzaren 124 prospeccions estacionals entre 1975 i 1992. Observem o capturem un total 3.596 exemplars, tots els quals són identificats i pertanyen a 91 espècies. Es descriu la comunitat de papallones indicant els percentatges de cada espècie, el nombre d’exemplars capturats cada mes, el nombre de generacions i la fase d’hibernació. Hi ha 12 espè- cies molt abundants que, en nombre d’individus registrats, representen elles soles el 50% de la comunitat. Hi ha 85 espècies presents a la primavera i estiu.
