FRAIJA FERNANDEZ, NATALIA e FAJARDO MEDINA, GONZALO E.. Fauna Characterization of the Order Lepidoptera (Rhopalocera) in Five Different Localities of the Colombian Llanos Orientales. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.1, pp.55-68. ISSN 0120-548X.
In the study authors made an analysis in the variance of richness, composition and abundance in the butterfly community of five locations in colombian llanos orientales distributed like this: Locations San Antonio (500 msnm), Cafam (200 msnm) and Con Esto Tengo (480 msnm), as bosque de Galería, and in the other hand Loma Linda (640 msnm) and Buena Vista (1250 msnm) as Pie de Monte. For the sample collection there were used butterfly nets and Vansorem-Rydon traps. Samples were collected in two seasons of years 2003, 2004 and 2005 with four days of visit in each sample. Exists a report of 469 specimens distributed in six families as follows Hesperidae, Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Riodinidae. In total these families were distributed in 37 genus and 45 species. Because of the composition of ropaloceros’ fauna San Antonio, Con Esto Tengo and Loma Linda locations presented the greatest similarities followed by Buena Vista and Cafam, according to UPGMA analysis through Jaccard coefficient. The obtained data reveals the richness in the fauna found in fragments of ecosystems proper of the colombian llanos orientales, and the importance of following and monitoring, them and the necessity of management and conservation plans for this areas.
