“…This may be attributed to the fact that LCC is a natural reserved forest; a protected forest managed by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation. This conformed to Orimaye et al (2016) study that recorded protected area to be highly diversi ed and rich in species compared to unprotected area. The land-use intensi cation, the extensively managed or degraded habitats has greatly contributed to loss of biodiversity for both fauna and ora.…”

“…All the 171 individuals belonged to thirty-three species and four families. Other families that are not recorded in this study have been also reported in Nigeria, like Pieridae in Ise Forest Reserve, Ekiti State(Orimaye et al 2016), Ogun and Lagos(Kemabonta et al 2015). Riodinidae family in Nigeria has been rarely reported by researchers.Butter ies belonging to the family Nymphalidae were most abundant, accounting for 54.4% of the total butter ies collected in all locations.…”

Butterflies belong to one of the most important taxa of insects. Understanding their significance in an ecosystem as an environmental health indicator and pollination of flowering plants is crucial to achieving sustainability and conservation of floral diversity. Species diversity and abundance of butterflies were investigated at four (4) locations; Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC), LUFASI Nature Park (LNP), Shodex garden, Co-operative villa, Lagos using sweep nets and camera method of sampling. Biodiversity indices were used to compare the diversity and abundance of the butterflies. A total of 171 butterflies belonging to 4 families were identified from the 4 sampled sites. Butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae were the most abundant, accounting for 54.4% of the total butterflies collected in all locations. Papilio damodocus, Bicyclus dorothea, Hypolimnas misippus, Junonia sp and Precis pelargawere found in the four sites. LCC had the most diversified species (H’= 3.183) and Co-operative villa had the least (H’= 25). The study site that was most evenly distributed was Shodex garden (e^H/S = 0.9444) and the least evenly distributed was LCC (e^H/S = 0.832). Highest degree of species concentration was found in LCC (D = 0.9522) and Co-operative villa had the least (D = 0.905). Species diversity composition of LNP and LCC, LCC and Shodex garden, LCC and Cooperative villa are significantly different (p < 0.05). It is necessary to identify the rare butterfly species and conserve them by establishing butterfly garden and buffer zones.

“…The results of the study showed that insect diversity is higher in the conservation areas compared to the nonconservation areas. Other studies specializing in butterfly diversity, such as those conducted by Basavarajappa et al (2018) in Karnataka, India (643.99 km 2 ), Orimaye et al (2016) in Ise Forest Reserve, Ise Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria, and Harisha et al (2019) at Shettihalli Wildlife Sanctuary, Shivamogga District, Karnataka, India (777 km 2 ), show that butterfly diversity is very high in conservation areas compared to non-conservation areas. While those studies were conducted on large nature reserves (more than a thousand hectare), limited analyses were focused on small reserves (less than a hundred hectare).…”

Insect diversity in various distances to forest edge in small nature reserve: A case study of Bantarbolang Nature Reserve, Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract. Darsono, Riwidiharso E, Santoso S, Sudiana E, Yani E, Nasution EK, Aprilliana H, Chasanah T. 2020. Insect diversity in various distances to forest edge in small nature reserve: A case study of Bantarbolang Nature Reserve, Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 4821-4828. A nature reserve is a conservation area with the objective of conserving the biodiversity of the flora and fauna within its boundaries. However, many nature reserves are fragmented into small extent and isolated from natural habitat, causing the so-called edge effect. This research aimed to investigate insect diversity across various distances to forest edge in small and isolated protected areas. Research was conducted in the Bantarbolang Nature Reserve, Pemalang District, Central Java, Indonesia. A survey was conducted to determine the diversity of insects, especially those from the Diptera (flies), Lepidoptera (butterfly), and Hymenoptera (bees and wasp) orders. The environmental parameters recorded were temperature, humidity, and flowering plant diversity and abundance. Line transects were laid at a length of 100 m, parallel to the forest edge at three different distance ranges from the edge: 0-50 m, 50-100 m, and 100-150 m. Species diversity was measured using the Shannon-Wiener index, evenness index, and Sorensen similarity index. Over the 4-month study period, 1713 individual insects from 63 species and from the following three orders were found: Lepidoptera (Rhopalocera; 33 species, 5 families, 932 individuals); Hymenoptera (20 species, 423 individuals) and Diptera (10 species, 7 families, 376 individuals). The highest diversity was found at the edge of the forest and the lowest at the distance of 100-150 m from the forest edge. While the study area can support a diversity of insects, especially pollinating insects, but it is unable to support the conservation of light-sensitive butterflies. The results of this study suggest that small nature reserve can support a diversity of pollinating insects, especially from the Diptera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera. However, it has limited conservation potential because of the significant impact of forest edges on species composition, especially on specialist butterfly species with habitat in forest interior.

“…Studies have shown that human‐driven land conversion fragments the habitats of native species, facilitating invasion by exotics that changes community composition and structure (Brooks, 2003; Diamond et al, 2023; Shackelford et al, 2018; Tulloch et al, 2016; Woinarski et al, 2015). A study of butterfly diversity in southern Nigeria revealed a higher abundance and diversity index in protected relative to unprotected areas (Orimaye et al, 2016), indicating that human‐related activities are negatively impacting the butterfly communities. Thus, urban landscapes experiencing increasing environmental changes may be facing significant declines in species richness, diversity and abundance (Crooks, 2002; Edwards et al, 2014; Oeser et al, 2023).…”

The specific factors that influence spatial community or population dynamics are often elusive, and even less known is the impact of tropical urban landscapes on diverse species community assemblages. To address this knowledge gap, we used a survey data set with 510 fruit‐feeding butterflies comprising 20 species across two heterogeneous habitats within a city in Nigeria. Next, we constructed generalised linear mixed models to understand the differential responses of the butterfly community to changes in environmental conditions across habitats. Butterfly species community assemblages significantly differed between the two urban habitats, with butterfly species significantly higher in the savannah woodland compared with the gallery forest due to the optimal daily temperatures of the savannah woodland. However, butterfly richness was lower in the gallery forest due to extreme environmental conditions. This study highlights that butterfly community changes in tropical urban landscapes are possibly responding to local microclimates and spatial heterogeneity across habitats. For evidence‐based conservation management of tropical butterfly biodiversity, there would be need for a long‐term, extensive and systematic insect monitoring programme for butterflies across disturbed and undisturbed fragmented habitats harbouring diverse insect species.
