“…As mentioned earlier, the S-1 location was known as the sole location of peat-swamp habitat, while other ones were the lowland habitat, mostly well known for the abundance of community resources. This result was in accordance with Noerdjito (2009), Harmonis (2013), and Matsumoto et al (2015) who reported that in the lowland habitat, the species number of the butterfly was larger than those in peat-swamp habitat (Houlihan et al 2012;Sukma, 2012).…”

“…Sukma (2012) has reported that only around 27 species of butterfly in the peat swamp forest in Riau region could be successfully identified. Houlihan et al (2012) also reported that they only could identify 11 species of butterfly in the peatswamp forest in Central Kalimantan using fruits as baits. The limited number of butterfly species in the peat-swamp forest was also confirmed in this study, shown in the lowest number of butterfly species compared to those obtained in the lowland ecosystem.…”

Abstract. Harmonis, Saud OR. 2016. Effects of habitat degradation and fragmentation on butterfly biodiversity in West Kotawaringin,. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of degradation and fragmentation habitats to butterfly communities. To be specific, species diversity, taxonomy structure, main species in every study sites were observed to find out the effects and correlation of each parameters. Field study was carried out in 8 sites in Kotawaringin Barat, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The specimens were collected using aerial insect nets and baited traps in January-February 2016. From the result of the study, the total of 1085 individual in 130 species was successfully collected. Based on distribution analysis using Shannon-Wiener index, the diversity of butterfly was in the range of middle to high categories (H' = 2.7-3.5). Of another parameter analysis, it showed that butterfly communities were affected by degradation habitat, while fragmentation habitat did not influence to the butterfly communities. Furthermore, the range of degradation level in the study sites did not correlate with the number of species and taxonomy structures, but the distribution of the special-group of main species showed in correlation. Lexias dirtea was only found in dense forests (site S-7), then Neptis hylas and Parantica agleoides appeared in shrub habitat (site S-5 and S-6). The finding indicated that green patches have valuable contribution to conserve the ecosystem as valuable germplasm for butterflies and also arthropods.

“…However, species diversity in mesic and xeric stands decreased from 2006 to 2007. Several studies found lowered insect species diversity after formation of gaps (Bouget 2003, Greenberg and Forrest 2003, Richardson et al 2010, Houlihan et al 2013), while others found higher diversity (Patrick et al 2012, Houlihan et al 2013, or no effects (Ulyshen et al 2011, Smith et al 2012.…”

Indirect Effects of Emerald Ash Borer-Induced Ash Mortality and Canopy Gap Formation on Epigaeic Beetles

et al. 2014

Exotic herbivorous insects have drastically and irreversibly altered forest structure and composition of North American forests. For example, emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) from Asia has caused wide-scale mortality of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in eastern United States and Canada. We studied the effects of forest changes resulting from emerald ash borer invasion on epigaeic or ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) along a gradient of ash dieback and gap sizes in southeastern Michigan. Ground beetles were sampled in hydric, mesic, and xeric habitats in which black (Fraxinus nigra Marshall), green (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marshall), and white (Fraxinus americana L.) ash were the most common species, respectively. During 2006-2007, we trapped 2,545 adult ground beetles comprising 52 species. There was a negative correlation between percent ash tree mortality in 2006 and catches of all beetles. Catches of Agonum melanarium Dejean (in 2006) and Pterostichus mutus (Say) (in 2006-2007) were negatively correlated with tree mortality and gap size, respectively. However, catches of Pterostichus corvinus Dejean were positively correlated with gap size in 2006. As ash mortality and average gap size increased from 2006 to 2007, catches of all beetles as well as P. mutus and Pterostichus stygicus (Say) increased (1.3-3.9 times), while species diversity decreased, especially in mesic and xeric stands. Cluster analysis revealed that beetle assemblages in hydric and mesic stand diverged (25 and 40%, respectively) in their composition from 2006 to 2007, and that hydric stands had the most unique beetle assemblages. Overall, epigaeic beetle assemblages were altered in ash stands impacted by emerald ash borer; however, these impacts may dissipate as canopy gaps close.

“…Such difference is because some butterflies, such as Japonica saepestriata, Wagimo signatus, Neptis speyeri and N. ilos, were only found in NF. Houlihan et al (2013) suggested that forest degradation greatly affects butterfly communities due to the increase of generalist species being favored under disturbed conditions. Inoue (2003) showed that old secondary forest would be able to give refuge to typical natural forest butterfly species.…”

This study was carried out to clarify the response of butterfly communities on forest degradation in the Gwangneung Forest, Korea. We monitored butterfly communities with varying degrees of human activities by conducting a line transect twice a month in 2011. A total of 70 species and 4676 individuals of butterflies were observed in four sites: natural forest (NR), two plantation forests, and the Korean National Arboretum (AR). The result on niche breadth, habitat breadth and habitat type of butterfly was not consistent with our predictions. Species richness of habitat type was only significantly different between NF and AR. Species diversity was significantly different among sites. Butterfly diversity associated with landscape patterns based on aerial photographs supported a mosaic concept. A forest management plan to conserve butterfly diversity in forests is necessary to maintain various habitats and to ensure that grasslands are protected.
