For effective conservation management, it is essential to understand Catherine L.

We tested how different fire frequencies influence savanna butterfly diversity Affiliations: and composition by using a long-term savanna fire experiment initiated in 1954 in the Kruger 1 Centre d’Ecologie National Park (South Africa). We compared butterfly abundance, species richness and Fonctionnelle et Evolutive, Montpellier, France community composition across three fire frequencies: high (burnt annually), medium (burnt triennially) and low (burnt twice in 60 years). Plots with high fire frequency hosted higher 2Department of Biology, abundance than medium- or low-frequency plots.

Our findings suggest that, in view Finland of the three fire frequencies tested, a spatial diversity of fire frequencies may increase butterfly diversity at the landscape level in wet savannas.
