“…Among the vast majority of target taxa used as surrogates (see Cardoso et al, 2004;Hitt & Frissell, 2004;Kati et al, 2004;Saetersdala et al, 2003), birds and butterflies have been considered as a good predictors of any given available habitat quality (Aigner et al, 1998;Debinski & Brussard, 1994;Githiru et al, 2007). They relate to the changes in their associated habitats because they respond to available habitat structure (Betrus, et al, 2005;Fleishman et al, 2005;MacGregorFors 2008;MacNally & Fleishman (2002); PadoaSchioppa et al, 2006;Raman, 2001); represent several trophic feeding groups or guilds (Chettri et al, 2005;Diaz & Telleria, 1996;Steele et al, 1984) and are directly related to plant diversity as they provide diverse habitats to their associated companions (Haddad et al, 2001;Kati et al, 2004;Negi & Gadgil, 2002;Saetersdala et al, 2003;Schmit et al, 2005).…”
