Abstract:

We present here an updated checklist for the butterflies of Matheran, Maharashtra, India, an eco-sensitive zone, with identification remarks for locally rare or very rare butterflies. This is the first dedicated checklist for butterflies of Matheran after 125 years. A total of 140 species of butterflies were recorded belonging to six families. Amongst them, 15 species were either listed under Schedule I, II or IV of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. We also list the habitats of the species along with the data for their activity at the time of recording the observation. We propose a u

AbstractButterflies play a crucial role in maintenance of ecological balance as they are important bio-indicators and are pollinators for various plant species. They are also crucial components of food chain and nutrient recycling as they are food to different animals like lizards, spiders, ants, birds and wasps. They have significant importance in cultural as well as aesthetic aspects. Despite their contribution to many ecological services, they face serious anthropological threats like climate change, illegal trade, deforestation, overgrazing, urbanization and habitat destruction.

The fruits are fleshy, 1- or 2-seeded drupes and seed dispersal is ornithochorous. The study indicates that S. album is obligately vector-dependent for pollination and seed dispersal.

Eastern Himalaya and northeastern India are part of two global biodiversity hotspots, yet the critical butterfly-plant associations and early stages of most butterfly species in this region are poorly recorded. We have reported early stages and larval host plants of 78 butterfly species, some of which are rare and endemic, providing specific information on spatial and temporal details associated with these records. These records contribute region-specific information on Indian butterflies, which may be useful in basic ecological and conservation studies in the future.

The genus Euaspa Moore, 1884 (Lycaenidae: Theclinae: Theclini) of Zephyrus Hairstreak butterflies is represented by 14 species worldwide. Among these, four species were recorded from the Indian mainland. In this paper, E. motokii Koiwaya, 2002, previously known only from the Kachin State of Myanmar, is reported for the first time from Arunachal Pradesh in India. Also, E. mikamii Koiwaya, 2002 is recorded for the second time from India since the collection of the holotype in 1991 from the eastern Himalaya.

Abstract:

Mating across species occurs rarely in nature, which contends prevalent idea of biological species concept. Throughout species range, mating pattern varies and reproductive barriers are also not fixed among different species. In this study, two instances of interspecific mating between two widely common Nymphalid Tiger butterflies (Danaus Kluk, 1780) in Indian region are reported. Observations imply lack of absolute reproductive barriers, where possible interplay exists among prezygotic and postzygotic isolating factors compensating each other in order to restrain interspecific hybridization.

Thirty percent of butterfly species that occur in India are found in the Garhwal region of the western Himalaya, which comprise six districts of Uttarakhand State with five major vegetation types lying between the catchments of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. The annotated checklist compiled here for this region comprises 407 species and takes into account all the species recorded since 1899, when the first list of 323 species was prepared by Mackinnon & de Nicéville on the ‘butterflies of Mussoorie and its adjacent areas’.

Forty-two (42) species of butterflies were recorded from a short survey of Ladakh and Lahaul in the inner Himalaya in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Here, we provide location and altitude records for these species, data on their abundance, photo-documentation of the life cycle of Pieris deota and P. brassicae as well as the first published record of a larval host plant for P. deota. Twelve (12) of these species are protected under Schedule II of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

Abstract:

With over a million described species, insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth. Insects, particularly those responsible for pollination, play a major ecological role that is often overlooked or even ignored. Indeed, apart from honeybees, many species are not recognized for the services they provide. What is more, all pollinating insects do not attract the same affection. Some, such as butterflies, enjoy a very positive image, while others are feared or hated, often because they can sting. During a semi-structured interview study (N = 35) on the island of Mayotte, we confirmed th

Biodiversity issues are very crucial in preventing the permanent extinction of variety of species on the planet earth. Butterflies, moths and skippers are included in the order Lepidoptera. There are about 10% butterfly species of Lepidoptera. Butterflies are well known for their diversity in shape, size and beautiful wing colours, having slender bodies and antennae with club-like tips. In general, in butterflies the wings are held vertically when at rest. They are cosmopolitan in distribution, found everywhere around the world except near the poles. They are diurnals.

Abstract:

Communal roosting on an over-nightly basis is common in butterflies for resting and for avoiding predation. Having a source of nectar and safeguarding from harsh weather conditions are also notable parameters to consider a site as a potential roosting spot. Roosting differs from a congregation in the fact that the latter happens mainly in the exposed plant part or the oozing out of fluid, which attracts the butterflies to extract chemicals from the same.

This research explores the educational potential and threats to biodiversity posed by the overproduction and exploitation of butterflies in live exhibitions. Ecosystems rely on butterflies. They indicate a shift in the climate and play a crucial role in pollination. All three art, culture, and emotions involve them. Insects belonging to the lepidoptera order are useful for many reasons, including pollinating plants, spinning silk, signaling changes in the environment, and being aesthetically pleasing. Ecosystem richness and variety change over time. The variety and number of butterfly species

The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the literature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural suc
