“…Our work focused on Satyrodes appalachia Chermock (Appalachian browns), which are commonly found across Fort Bragg despite being relatively rare across their southeastern U.S. range. Like several other rare butterflies on Fort Bragg, S. appalachia exhibit a strict habitat preference for wet forest (Shapiro and Carde 1970). Also, these butterflies make ideal test animals as they are locally abundant, are easily monitored, and are behaviorally affected by habitat type and fragmentation (Kuefler and Haddad 2006).…”

Determining connectivity within complex landscapes is difficult if habitats that facilitate dispersal differ from habitats where animals normally are found or enter. We addressed the question of how landscape features affect dispersal by quantifying two critical aspects of animal movement behavior that determine dispersal rates across complex landscapes: conductivity of major habitat types and behavior at boundaries between habitat types. Our tests consisted of behavioral experiments and observational surveys of a wetland butterfly, Satyrodes appalachia. Displacement rates varied among habitats, with the longest moves and straightest paths leading to greater displacement rate in open habitat and shortest moves and most sinuous paths causing the slowest displacement rate in riparian forest habitat. We found a strong negative relationship between the probability of entering a habitat and the speed of moving through it. Recognizing this central conflict between entering and moving through habitat is important for assessing the connectivity of complex landscapes.

“…However, well-con- trolled field experiments have rarely been used to distinguish among possible explanations for these patterns. Among the taxa for which habitat segregation has been reported are butterflies (Shapiro andCarde 1970, Rausher 1979), fruit flies (Fellows and Heed 1972), tenebrionid beetles (Doyen and Tschinkel 1974), spittlebugs (Halkka et al 1977), leafhoppers (McClure andPrice 1976, Stiling 1980), and crickets (Fulton 1931, 1952, 1956, Alexander 1957, Alexander and Thomas 1959, Love and Walker 1979.…”

The closely related ground crickets Allonemobius allardi and A. fasciatus provide a striking example of habitat segregation. Both species are abundant in pastures and grasslands in the northeastern United States, but they occupy different parts of these habitats. At a site in northwestern Connecticut, we found nearly pure single—species populations at the extremes of a moisture gradient. Allonemobius allardi occurred in dry pasture, A. fasciatus in wet pasture. Distribution patterns remained constant from one developmental stage to another and from year to year. We undertook a series of experiments to define the factors that determine habitat associations in these crickets. By introducing single—species and mixed—species populations into enclosures in both wet and dry areas, we could demonstrate no significant differences in adult survival or reproductive success between species. Both A. allardi and A. fasciatus can survive and reproduce in wet and dry habitats. Laboartory choice experiments indicate that differences in oviposition preference also cannot account for field distribution patterns. Indeed, oviposition preference may be a consequence rather than a cause of habitat association.

“…The partitioning of food resources has been well documented in many animal groups, especially vertebrate predators (Schoener, 1974); however, the few studies made to date have not presented convincing evidence that such patterns are typical for any group of invertebrate herbivores. Several possible cases of competition related resource partitioning between pairs of lepidopteran species have been reported by Gilbert and Singer (1976) from an extensive examination of the lepidopteran literature, and Shapiro and Carde (1970) suggested that host plant and habitat separation among three species of satyrine butterflies may be explicable in terms of competition induced ecological shifts. On a larger scale Owen (1972) noted that the patterns of host plant use in West African acraeine butterflies are consistent with resource partitioning.…”
