Riqueza de borboletas (Lepidoptera) em um fragmento urbano de Cerrado em Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil

Abstract

Resumo. Borboletas estão entre os artrópodes melhor estudados, pois participam de diversas interações ecológicas. Apesar de já existirem muitos inventários de borboletas publicados no Brasil, nenhuma informação ainda existe em Mato Grosso do Sul. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a riqueza de espécies de borboletas encontradas em um remanescente urbano de cerrado em Campo Grande, Centro-Oeste do Brasil, além de indicar a presença de espécies raras e indicadora de ambiente preservado. Foram registradas 62 espécies de borboletas, pertencentes a seis famílias e 15 subfamílias. Entre as espécies registradas, 28 pertencem à família Nymphalidae (45,1%), 16 a Hesperiidae (25,8%), oito a Lycaenidae (12,9%), seis a Pieridae (9,7%) e quatro para Riodinidae (6,5%). As estimativas de riqueza Jack-Knife (de 1ª ordem) e Chao2 mostram que entre 81 e 86% das espécies, respectivamente, foram registradas durante o período do estudo para a área. A lepidopterofauna encontrada não apresenta espécies cuja presença indica ambiente preservado. Embora a área de estudo seja pequena, estando imersa em uma matriz urbana e sendo constantemente impactada, a reserva representa um ambiente importante para a conservação de borboletas na cidade de Campo Grande.Palavras-Chave: Espécies raras; Levantamento; Remanescente urbano de cerrado; Reserva Particular de Patrimônio Natural; Riqueza de espécies. Butterflies Species (Lepidoptera) in an Urban fragment of Savannah in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.Abstract. Butterflies are among the better studied arthropods, because they participate in several ecological interactions. In spite of already many inventories of butterflies have been published in Brazil, still any information exist in Mato Grosso do Sul. The present study aimed to evaluate the species richness of butterflies found in an urban remnant of savannah in Campo Grande, Midwest of Brazil, besides indicating the presence of rare species and indicative of preserved atmosphere. We registered 62 species of butterflies, ranging in six families and 15 subfamilies, for the area. Among the registered species, 28 belong to the family Nymphalidae (45.1%), 16 to Hesperiidae (25.8%), 8 to Lycaenidae (12.9%), 6 to Pieridae (9.7%) and 4 to Riodinidae (6.5 %). The wealth estimates Jack-Knife (1st order) and Chao2 show that among 81 and 86% of species, respectively, were registered during the period of the study for the area. The found lepidopterofauna didn't present species whose presence indicates preserved atmosphere. Although the small study area, being immersed in an urban matrix and constantly being impacted, the reserve represents an important environment for the conservation of butterflies in the city of Campo Grande.

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from the campos rupestres of Serra de São José, Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…According to the Jackknife 1 estimator, 72.3% of the species pool was sampled at Serra de São José, higher compared to the 66-68% found by Pereira et al (2017) in Serra do Cipó and by Silva et al (2015) in a Special Protection Area of Nova Lima (Minas Gerais), respectively. Bogiani et al (2012) found 81% of the species estimated by Jackknife 1 in a Cerrado urban area, although only 60 species were recorded using the same two sampling methods and a very similar effort-hour to our study. The species richness estimated for Serra de São José indicates that the area, although smaller, might surpass the butterfly biodiversity of other campos rupestres areas.…”

“…The richness of butterfly species on Serra de São José is within the expected range for the campos rupestres, although it is higher than that observed in other inventories for the Brazilian Cerrado and open grassy vegetation (e.g., Bogiani et al 2012, Araújo & Paprocki 2015, Martins et al 2017. For example, Nery et al…”

Checklist of butterflies (Insecta: Lepidoptera) from Serra do Intendente State Park - Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…However, compared with records for several Brazilian states such as recorded by Isehard and Romanowski (2004), Marchiori and Romanowski (2006), Emery et al (2006), Dessuy and Morais (2007), Pinheiro et al (2008), Isehard et al (2010), Ritter et al (2011), Zacca and Bravo (2012), and Bogiani et al (2012), the number of species found is lower. This fact could very well be explained by the sampled area size and sampling effort (Table 4).…”

“…Eurema albula and Eurema elathea , also registered in this site, have cosmopolitan habits and great adaptations for disturbed areas (Isehard et al 2007, Bogiani et al 2012). It is important to mention that Morpho helenor , which was well sampled – 51 individuals (Table 1), disappears quickly when severe disturbances and size reduction of forests occur (Santana 2005).…”

História natural e performance larval de Oospila pallidaria (Schaus, 1897) (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Geometrinae): uma mariposa esmeralda do Cerrado

“…São estimadas cerca de 10 mil espécies para o bioma (BROWN; GIFFORD, 2002;DINIZ et al, 2013). O conhecimento dessa diversidade é resultado principalmente de estudos com adultos como, por exemplo, listas de espécies e revisões taxonômicas (EMERY et al, 2006;FERRO;DINIZ, 2007;BOGIANI et al, 2012;SCHERRER et al, 2013). Sendo assim, há relativamente poucos estudos sobre os estágios imaturos dos Lepidoptera do Cerrado (e. g. MUNIZ et al, 2012;BÄCHTOLD et al, 2013;DINIZ et al, 2013;BRAGA;DINIZ, 2015).…”
