Large areas of tropical forest now exist as remnants scattered across agricultural landscapes, and so understanding the impacts of forest fragmentation is important for biodiversity conservation. We examined species richness and nestedness among tropical forest remnants in birds (meta-analysis of published studies) and insects (field data for fruit-feeding Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) and ants). Species -area relationships were evident in all four taxa, and avian and insect assemblages in remnants typically were nested subsets of those in larger areas. Avian carnivores and nectarivores and predatory ants were more nested than other guilds, implying that the sequential loss of species was more predictable in these groups, and that fragmentation alters the trophic organization of communities. For butterflies, the ordering of fragments to achieve maximum nestedness was by fragment area, suggesting that differences among fragments were driven mainly by extinction. In contrast for moths, maximum nestedness was achieved by ordering species by wing length; species with longer wings (implying better dispersal) were more likely to occur at all sites, including low diversity sites, suggesting that differences among fragments were driven more strongly by colonization. Although all four taxa exhibited high levels of nestedness, patterns of species turnover were also idiosyncratic, and thus even species-poor sites contributed to landscape-scale biodiversity, particularly for insects.

Abstract. Gunung Ledang, or previously known as Mount Ophir is the highest highland in south Peninsular Malaysia, in the state of Johor. Along with its elevations, climate, and vegetation vary. These influence the distribution of flora and fauna such as butterfly. The objectives of this study were (i) to document the diversity of butterfly along elevational gradients and (ii) to analyze species diversity patterns based on faunistic aspect. To determine spatial distribution, this study was conducted at three different altitudes; 1 200 m, 800 m, and 400 m above sea level (a.s.l.). Samplings were conducted from May 2014 until Feb 2015. During the eight sampling occasions, two main methods were employed; manual collection using the aerial net and baited trapping using rotten fruits. A total of 635 individuals comprising 129 butterfly species from five families were recorded. The five families were Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae, and Hesperiidae. Nymphalidae was the most well-represented family by 58.1 % species richness and 80.3 % abundance. At all elevations, eight species were consistently found. They were: Eurema hecabe, Euploea mulciber, Ideopsis gaura, Mycalesis maianeas, Ypthima pandocus, Cirrochroa malaya, Cirrochroa orissa, and Hypolimnas bolina. There were highly significant differences (p < 0.001) in the diversity of butterfly species between elevations. The values of Shannon Diversity Index (H') was highest, 4.179 at 400m and lowest, 1.792 at 1 200 m. Meanwhile, the Species Evenness Index (E') at 400 m was 0.660 and at 1 200 m was 0.162. These indicated that lowest altitude (400 m) would harbor higher species diversity and more even species distribution compared to the two higher altitudes. Spatially, the diversity of butterfly in a highland forest of Malaysia was established, providing a baseline data that would be useful for monitoring and conservation of a protected area such as Gunung Ledang National Park.
