Keberadaan kupu-kupu di suatu kawasan dapat menjadi indikator adanya kerusakan lingkungan yang ada sekitar tersebut. Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Baning Sintang merupakan hutan rawa gambut dengan tinggi akibat penurunan permukaan tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui tingkat keanekaragaman, kemerataan, dan dominansi Kawasan TWA dikaitkan faktor lingkungan. Metode pengambilan sampel dilakukan me...

Se realizaron capturas de los Lepidoptera diurnas dentro del proyecto “Caracterización la Entomofauna silvestre cuenca río Cachirí, jurisdicción CDMB”, cual se ubica en el departamento Santander, al nororiente Andes colombianos, bosques secundarios un gradiente altitudinal entre 400 y 3.250 msnm, con propósito establecer una línea base sobre diversidad entomológica, eventualmente detectar eleme...

1. Aerodynamic theory predicts that migrant fliers should reduce their speed of flight as endogenous energy reserves are gradually consumed. This prediction was tested for butterfly species (Pieridae and Nymphalidae) that engage in annual rainy season migrations through central Panama. 2. Direct airspeed measurements were made on butterflies in natural free flight, followed by chloroform : meth...

Objectives: Despite the substantial loss of natural forest in the Bosomkese Forest Reserve, little is known on the effects of the massive habitat loss and degradation on forest biota. The study therefore assessed the effects of anthropogenic activities on butterfly species composition and abundance in the Bosomkese Forest reserve in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. Methodology and Results: The ...

For 200 years, zoologists have relied on phenotypes to learn about the evolution of animals. A glance at the genotype, even through several gene markers, revolutionized our understanding of animal phylogeny. Recent advances in sequencing techniques allow researchers to study speciation mechanisms and the link between genotype and phenotype using complete genomes. We sequenced and assembled a co...
