  • Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies) at Inverness Ridge in Central Coastal California and Their Recovery Following a Wildfire
    LEPIDOPTERA (MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES) AT INVERNESS RIDGE IN CENTRAL COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THEIR RECOVERY FOLLOWING A WILDFIRE J. A. Powell Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract.— In numbers of species, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) make up the largest group of plant-feeding animals in North America. Caterpillars of nearly all species feed on plants, and most of them are specialists on one or a few kinds of plants. Therefore they are liable to be severely affected by wildfires, and secondarily, their parasites and predators, including birds, bats, lizards, and rodents, suffer losses of a major food resource. In October 1995, a wildfire swept over part of The Point Reyes National Seashore, burning more than 12,300 acres (5,000 hectares) of public and private land, following a fire-free period of several decades. I tracked survival and recolonization by moths and butterflies during the subsequent five seasons. I made daytime searches for adults and caterpillars approximately monthly from March through October and collected blacklight trap samples, mostly in May and September-October. More than 650 species of Lepidoptera have been recorded in the Inverness Ridge area, and about 375 of them were recorded during the post-fire survey, including larvae of 31% of them. Plants in a Bishop pine forest higher on the ridge, where the fire was most intense, accumulated their caterpillar faunas slowly, while Lepidoptera feeding on plants typical of riparian woods in the lower canyons reestablished sooner and more completely. Recolonization varied markedly among different plant species, and the species richness gradually increased, in marked contrast to generalizations about effects of fire on arthropods derived from fire management of grasslands.

Left to right: Jack Surbey, Bob Delong, Gail Hughes, Sylvia Glass, Ann Bird, Claudia Cameron, Ron Kruger. THE AREA The J.J. Collett Natural Area is made up of a section of land located near Morningside, 11 km NNE of Lacombe and 11 km south of Ponoka. The coordinates at the parking area are 52.53N, 113.65W and the elevation is around 870 m. The land was originally purchased by the Alberta Government from J.J. Collett in 1974. An elementary study of the natural resources and ecology of the area was carried out in that year by staff of the Alberta Department of the Environment and the Alberta Wildlife Foundation (Bienek 1974). Further studies carried out in 1980 resulted in a map of the trails and vegetation units of the area as well as data sheets of the major communities (Munsell 1980); this was followed by a management plan for the Natural 2 Areas Program, Alberta Forestry, Lands and Wildlife (Leszczynski 1987). The area is currently managed by volunteer members of the J.J.

Alaska has a limited taxonomic workforce to address these changes. We are building a DNA barcode library to facilitate a metabarcoding approach to monitoring non-marine arthropods. Working with the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, we obtained DNA barcodes from recently collected and authoritatively identified specimens in the University of Alaska Museum Insect Collection and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge collection.

The Prairies Ecozone of southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta supports a diverse fauna, with 2,232 species of butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera) recorded to date in 61 families. By far the best known Lepidoptera are the butterflies, with 177 species known to occur in the ecozone. The species known to occur in the Prairies Ecozone are listed by province. The Lepidoptera fauna of this ecozone is reviewed in terms of diversity, state of knowledge of the major groups, postglacial and relict patterns, recent changes in distribution, and endangered and threatened species.

  • Lepidoptera of the Medicine Lake Provincial Recreation Area, 2003-2011
    1 LEPIDOPTERA OF THE MEDICINE LAKE PROVINCIAL RECREATION AREA, 2003-2011 Charles Durham Bird Box 22, Erskine, AB, T0C 1G0, [email protected] 8 March 2012 The present paper incorporates the information in previous reports along with that gathered in 2011. It also includes a number of redeterminations and additions to the information in the earlier reports. Further, it follows the up-to-date order and taxonomy of Pohl et al. (2010), rather than that of Hodges et al. (1983). THE AREA The above area is located 37 km NNW of Rimbey, Alberta. The 40.38 ha (100 acre) area was designated a Provincial Recreation Area in 1998. No biophysical reports exist and, until the present one, no bioinventory studies have been carried out for the area. 2 The vegetation in the area is diverse, primarily mixed woods with White spruce, Aspen, Balsam Poplar, Lodgepole Pine and Paper Birch; lake edge with Willows and emergents; and some tamarack/black spruce/sphagnum bogs. Medicine Lake, 6 Aug 2003. Tamarack/Black Spruce/Labrador Tea/Big Birch/Sphagnum bog. 3 Wet woods with White Birch beside Medicine Lake, 12 Jul 2009. PERIODS OF STUDY The Lepidoptera of the area was studied on 13 different days (30 trap nights) from June 27 to August 15 in the years 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 (see Appendix). All collected specimens were databased and information on most is available on the Virtual Museum website of the University of Alberta Strickland Museum (http://www.entomology.ualberta.ca/ ). No collections were made in the spring or fall and thus many species remain to be documented.
