Highlighting that certain components present in the fragment, such as the degree of isolation and size directly affect the assembly of fruit-feeding butterflies and different biological groups may respond in different ways with respect to fragmentation (Caitano et al 2020). Furthermore, it should be noted that the characteristics of the vegetation and the permeability of the matrix are factors which are correlated with the distribution of frugivorous butterflies (e.g.…”

The environmental monitoring programs used to assess the quality of the habitats are often common to insects, mainly as frugivorous butterflies, as easily accessible biological indicators. These have ample availability of information, an easy to perform and low cost study method, in addition to responding easily to environmental changes, making it an efficient tool in environmental diagnosis. The way or objective of this work was to inventory as frugivorous butterflies in two different points, edge and center of an urban fragment belonging to the Universidade Federal de Rondonópolis, state of Mato Grosso, using as an environmental indicator. As a hypothesis, it was believed to detect differences in species richness, the amount of composition and composition between two areas. A sampling was carried out between the months of February and May 2019, using 10 Van Someren-Rydon weapons, of which six were distributed at the edges and four in the center (interior) of the fragment. Take place as trapped collections once a week lasting three days at each event. 105 individuals belonging to nine species of Nymphalidae were captured, respectively, as subfamilies: Biblidinae (71), Satyrinae (31) and Charaxinae (03). There was no significant difference between species richness, quantity and composition in the edge area and in the center of the fragment.

“…For instance, a frequent response to the loss of grassland area by forest succession was the regular cutting back of shrubs and hedges. Anthropogenic forest edges that lack a gradual development of shrubs and trees might serve as dispersal barriers for species with important functional traits or promote the presence of invasive species (Fagan et al 1999, Caitano et al 2020. While having perceived positive effects on grassland production, cutting back shrubs and hedges prevents the restoration of habitats for local biodiversity and negatively affects the securing of diverse natural resources.…”

Maintaining or restoring landscape multifunctionality is essential to ensuring that landscapes provide a broad array of services. Increased multifunctionality means that there are more diverse land uses bordering each other. The areas in which land uses interact are transition zones; those between grasslands and forests could fulfill multiple purposes due to their special ecological characteristics that support the needs of diverse species. However, with their management practices, local land users often shape the characteristics of land-use transition zones, with implications for ecological processes that build the base for service provision. Local ecological knowledge of land users could give important insights into the basis of their decisions. Here, we explore how land users' and farmers' local knowledge shapes their management that contributes to the maintenance and restoration of multifunctional landscapes. We conducted 21 semistructured qualitative interviews with livestock farmers and local experts for agriculture and nature conservation using grassland-forest transition zones as a specific example for interdependent components of multifunctional landscapes. We found that local knowledge of the interviewed farmers can contribute to the maintenance or restoration of multifunctional landscapes in several ways: it provides insight into landscape functions in grassland-forest transition zones, it enables land users to use landscape function-grassland production synergies, and it provides insight into the perceived negative and positive contributions of forests to grassland production. The perceived negative contributions of forests to grassland production were an important driver for farmers' management decisions. Farmers have a holistic view of both the field and the landscape. Managing landscapes for multifunctionality is dependent on this kind of holistic knowledge to identify synergies and trade-offs in landscape functions and how they contribute to agricultural production. However, current regulations such as the institutional separation of grassland and forest and grassland areadependent direct payments prevent farmers from acting according to their local knowledge.

The deforestation of areas due to the expansion of cities and urban zones have directly affected natural habitats, causing negative changes, biodiversity loss and reducing populations size of native flora and fauna. In this context, butterflies are considered excellent organisms for monitoring environmental quality as they are involved in extremely specific ecological relationships with their habitats. Thus, this research aimed to carry out a survey of the butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) fauna in the Arboretum of Alagoas State. Weekly samplings were carried out from September 2019 to March 2020. During 140 sampling hours, 415 individuals were collected, being observed the occurrence of 44 species distributed in six families. The low number of recorded taxa reflects an expected poor richness as, in general, the closer the analyzed fragment is to an urban area, the smaller the number of species. Nymphalidae was the most well represented family, being recorded seven subfamilies. Based on these results, it was possible to state that the butterfly fauna in the Arboretum of Alagoas State comprises species commonly found in anthropic environments and/or areas under high anthropogenic influence.
