“…Also, only four of our species have been reported in other lucerne crops [9,22,57]. Our results showed that the butterfly community was sensible to environmental variables, as has been reported in other studies [15,58,65]. Nymphalidae was mostly affected by speed of wind, possibly because some species of this family are migratory (D. plexippus, S. blomfildia and V. atalanta).…”

Farmland edge plants can support high butterfly richness. Our objective was determine if, even in farms under intensive cultivation, the diversity of plants (mostly native) in crop edges is enough to sustain a high species richness of butterfly. We characterized the vegetation on the edges of Medicago sativa farms in central Mexico and identified the species of diurnals butterflies (Rhopalocera) associated. Butterflies and plants were counted along transects at the edges of a cul-tivated field during 24 months. We found 2710 individuals of plants, belonging to 48 different species from 24 families; 1749 individuals of diurnal butterflies, belonging to 57 species from six families. Most than half of the plant species found were native flora of central Mexico and with ethnobotanical use. A similarity analysis test showed significant differences in floristic composi-tion between transects. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis between butterfly species and plant families showed three groups. Six butterfly species were migratory and four mexican en-demic species, most of them associated with a group formed by Amaranthaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Annonaceae Lamiaceae Apiaceae and Fabaceae families. The high diversity of plants in our agro-ecosystem plays an important role to sustain a high diversity of butterflies and could be useful as biological corridors.

“…Los resultados de nuestro estudio muestran que para evaluar el impacto de la perturbación sobre poblaciones de mariposas, además del nivel de perturbación se debe realizar la partición de los datos según época del año. Aunque varios estudios enfocados en el efecto de la perturbación efectúan un muestreo temporal continuo de tres meses o más, realizan la evaluación de la perturbación con los datos conglomerados (e.g., Lewis 2001;Tobar et al 2006;Tórrez et al 2013;Gonzáles-Valdivia et al 2016) o sólo realizan la toma de datos en una época (e.g., Harvey et al 2006), lo cual puede generar una dilución de la detección del efecto de la perturbación sobre las comunidades. Además, es importante utilizar métodos de muestreo complementarios para evaluar el efecto sobre diferentes gremios alimentarios.…”

We used a distance-sampling survey method and multivariate statistics to obtain a unique estimate of bird species density and seasonal variation in shade-coffee plantations. Our aim was to determine which cultivation practices among plantations contribute most to bird abundance. We conducted avian species counts at 200 points distributed across 10 shade-coffee plantations bordering the lower slopes of the Mombacho Volcano Natural Reserve, in western Nicaragua. We measured vegetation structure (coffee plants and overstory). We used principal components analysis (PCA) among 14 habitat variables to derive a single phyto-geoclimate summary measure (PGSM). We also used PCA to derive an avian abundance summary measure (AASM) from three bird survey variables, which proved to be a good predictor of bird density. We found higher bird species densities (AASM) in organic and traditional polyculture shade coffee plantations whose structurally complex and diverse overstory could be verified by PGSM. However, this finding was true only for birds that were habitat specialists. Our results provide further evidence for promoting organic coffee cultivation practices that maintain a structurally diverse overstory and help retain avian species richness and abundance in coffee plantations.
