“…Lexias dirtea was a detector species for the dense forest (climactic forest), while Neptis hylas and Parantica agleoides were an indicator and detector species for thicket habitat (Harmonis 2013). Vu andVu (2011), andMatsumoto et al (2015) has also confirmed that habitat and their species. Therefore, the result of species distribution in this study has elucidated that community changes were in line with the degree of habitat degradation.…”

Abstract. Harmonis, Saud OR. 2016. Effects of habitat degradation and fragmentation on butterfly biodiversity in West Kotawaringin,. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of degradation and fragmentation habitats to butterfly communities. To be specific, species diversity, taxonomy structure, main species in every study sites were observed to find out the effects and correlation of each parameters. Field study was carried out in 8 sites in Kotawaringin Barat, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The specimens were collected using aerial insect nets and baited traps in January-February 2016. From the result of the study, the total of 1085 individual in 130 species was successfully collected. Based on distribution analysis using Shannon-Wiener index, the diversity of butterfly was in the range of middle to high categories (H' = 2.7-3.5). Of another parameter analysis, it showed that butterfly communities were affected by degradation habitat, while fragmentation habitat did not influence to the butterfly communities. Furthermore, the range of degradation level in the study sites did not correlate with the number of species and taxonomy structures, but the distribution of the special-group of main species showed in correlation. Lexias dirtea was only found in dense forests (site S-7), then Neptis hylas and Parantica agleoides appeared in shrub habitat (site S-5 and S-6). The finding indicated that green patches have valuable contribution to conserve the ecosystem as valuable germplasm for butterflies and also arthropods.

“…In addition, findings by Joshi and Sharma (2009) indicate a correlation between the complexity of a structural habitat, vegetation forms, and butterflies diversity. High vegetation diversity will result in high butterflies diversity (Van Vu, 2011). The components of carrying capacities such as the provision of shelter, water, mineral, food, temperature, and moisture (Ruslan, 2009) also have an effect on the diversity of butterflies.…”

Mas'ud A, Corebima AD, Amin M, Rohman F. 2018. RAPD based molecular analysis genetic diversity of Ornithoptera croesusfound in Bacan Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1273-1279. The endemic butterfly commonly known as birdwing butterfly found inBacan island (Ornithoptera croesus) was first discovered by Wallace in 1859. The O. croesus hotspot is a nature preserve located atvarious altitudes around Sibela mountain. The O. croesus belongs to macrolepidoptera which is famous for their variety of body colorsand typical morphology identified in female and male found at various altitude places. This study aimed to examine the genetic diversityof O. croesus at some different altitude spots in Sibela mountain using PCR-RAPD molecular analysis. The result of the DNAamplification showed high polymorphism in O. croesus (84,81). The clustering pattern indicated that O. croesus ♂ 400 meters above sealevel (m asl.) and O. croesus ♀ 400 m asl. had the highest level of genetic similarity, while the lowest level of genetic similarity wasobserved in O. croesus ♀ 800 m asl. and O. croesus ♀ 20 m asl. On the basis of these findings, clustering pattern showed that thehighest level similarity could also be found in species that live in the same altitude.

The butterflies are beautiful creature of nature with great economic importance as pollinator as well as bio-indicator of environments. The present survey was conducted to determine the biology and distribution of butterfly fauna of Hazara University, Garden Campus, Mansehra, Pakistan during March-June 2012. The study area was divided into 3 quadrates, i.e., residential area, administration area and main campus. A total of 170 specimens were collected, 10 species were identified belonging to 3 different families and falling in 8 genera. The species were identified. The painted lady, Cynthia cardui (Linnaeus); blue pansy, Junonia orithya Linnaeus; and plain tiger, Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus) were belonging to family Nymphalidae. The lime butterfly, Papilio demoleus Linnaeus and common mormon, P. polytes Linnaeus were belonging to family Papilionidae. The dark clouded yellow, Colias croceus (Geoffroy); common grass yellow, Eumera hecab (Linnaeus); Murree green-veined white, Pieris ajaka Moore; greenveined white, P. napi (Linnaeus) and Bath white, Pontia daplidice (Linnaeus) were belonging to family Pieridae. The body sizes of E. hecabe and J. orithya were minimum, i.e., 1.4 cm (n = 4 -13), however, D. chrysippus was maximum, i.e., 2.5 cm (n = 1). The wingspan of E. hecabe was minimum, i.e., 3.7 cm (n = 4), however, P. polytes was maximum, i.e., 7.5 cm (n = 1). Proper preventive measures should be taken into consideration in order to minimize the natural habitat loss, as butterfly fauna is dependent upon proper environmental conditions.
