摘要
蝴蝶是一种敏感的昆虫,对任何类型的干扰,如栖息地质量的变化和环境的变化,都能迅速做出反应。除了传粉者,它们在食物链中扮演着重要的角色,是鸟类、爬行动物、蜘蛛和掠食性昆虫的猎物。它是昆虫最重要的组合之一,既是生物多样性的指示器,也是大自然的园丁。本调查的目的是评估研究区内蝴蝶的多样性和丰度。2017年12月至2017年2月,在Tharangambadi Taluk的Sembarnarkoil Kalimahal学院校园共记录了33种蝴蝶,隶属5科26属。以蛱蝶科(13种)和属数(9属)为优势科,其次为蝶蛹科8种(6属)、Lycaenidae科6种(5属)、蝶蛹科3种(3属)和凤蝶科3种(2属)。2017年12月物种丰富度(25)、Simpson多样性指数(0.7206)和Shannon ' H '指数(1.783)较高。2018年2月的优势度指数(0.6634)和物种均匀度(0.2871)均较高。本研究的结果强调了机构校园作为蝴蝶首选栖息地的重要性。如果园林的美化和维护得到谨慎的规划,大学校园里蝴蝶的多样性可能会增加,为蝴蝶保护和研究提供丰富的土壤。
Diversity and Abundance of Butterfly (Lepidoptera) Fauna in Kalaimahal College Campus, Sembanarkoil, Tranqubar Taluk, Tamil Nadu
Butterflies are the sensitive insects which react quickly to any kind of disturbances like changes in the habitat quality and environmental variation. Apart from pollinators they play a major key role in food chain, being prey for birds, reptiles, spiders and predatory insects. It is one of the most important assemblages of insects that act as biodiversity indicators as well as nature’s gardeners. The objective of the present survey is focussed on the assessment of the diversity and abundance of butterfly conservation priorities in the study area. A total of 33 species of butterflies under 5 families and 26 genera were recorded during from December 2017 to February 2017 in the Kalimahal College campus, Sembarnarkoil, Tharangambadi Taluk. Nymphalidae was recorded as the most dominant family in terms of number of species (13) and number of genera (9), followed by Pieridae 8 species (6 genera), Lycaenidae 6 species (5 genera), Hesperiidae 3 species (3 genera), and Papilionidae 3 species (2 genera). Species richness (25), Simpson diversity index (0.7206) and Shannon ‘H’ index (1.783) were high in the month of December 2017. Simultaneously the Dominance index (0.6634) and Species Evenness (0.2871) were high in the month of February 2018. The outcomes of the present study highlight the importance of institutional campuses as a preferred habitat for butterflies. If the landscaping and maintenance of gardens are cautiously planned, the diversity of butterflies may increase in college campus providing a rich ground for butterfly conservation as well as for research.
