The high Andean mountains are ecosystems subject to high human pressure activities, resulting in disturbed areas increasingly dominating the landscapes. However, there needs to have more knowledge about the contributions of different vegetation coverages and species to global diversity at the local level. For three consecutive years, we studied a guild of fruit-feeding butterflies in four different land covers (cloud forests, paramo, mixed anthropogenic habitats, and cattle pastures) in the northern Andes in Colombia, analyzing the diversity and structure of the butterfly assemblage in the region. The assembly showed significant differences between land covers. The mixed habitat was the most diverse in order q1 (exponential of Shannon entropy) and q2 (inverse of Gini-Simpson dominance index) diversity, and the cloud forest contained the higher abundance and species richness. Abundance decreased from forest to pasture, significantly reducing diversity in pastures, with cloud forest and paramo containing the key endemic species. These results indicate the value of landscape diversity in providing resources and conditions required for the diversity conservation of high Andean butterflies.

Cheirotonus jansoni (Jordan, 1898), a beetle species of ecological and ornamental significance, is predominantly found in southern China. With limited dispersal ability, it is classified as a Class 2 protected species in China. In this study, the widely employed maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model and the ensemble Biomod2 model were applied to simulate C. jansoni habitat suitability in China under current environmental conditions based on available distribution data and multiple environmental variables. The optimized MaxEnt model demonstrated improved accuracy and robust predictive capabilities, making it the preferred choice for simulating dynamic changes in potentially suitable habitats for C. jansoni under future climate scenarios. Protection gaps were further identified through analyses of the overlap between nature reserves and highly suitable areas for C. jansoni. The established models indicated that this species primarily resides in southeastern mountainous regions of China below 2000 m, with a preferred altitude of 1000–2000 m. Future climate scenarios suggest a reduction in the overall suitable habitat for C. jansoni with an increase in temperature, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced conservation efforts for this beetle species.
