Study on species diversity and fauna of butterflies in Macao
The butterfly species in Macao was studied based on the collection from June 2013 to May 2014.A total of 876 butterfly specimens were collected,of which 65 species in 50 genera under 9 families were identified.Lycaenidae was the dominant family,with the most species number (16) and individuals (234).Pseudozizeeria maha was dominant species.For species diversity index H' (S),Nymphalidae was the highest,and the next was Papilionidae.The diversity index,the specific richness,the dominance index,the evenness index and the dominant concentration index of the three habitats were analyzed.The results showed that the change of the environmental quality influenced the diversity of butterfly remarkably.The greater the influence of human activity on the environment and forest vegetation,the lower the diversity index of the butterfly was.In Coloane Island,The lowest degree of urbanization development and the highest vegetation coverage,which was fit for butterflies to exist and breed.So the diversity index,the specific richness and the evenness index were the greatest,but the dominance index and the dominant concentration index were the lowest.In Macau Peninsula,and Taipa Island,the higher degree of urbanization development resulted in the relatively poor environmental quality,where the diversity index,the specific richness and evenness index were the lowest,but the dominance index and the dominant concentration index were the highest.Being significantly impacted by urbanization,butterfly diversity can serve as an effective indicator of urban environmental quality and change.Faunal characteristics of butterflies in Macao showed that 50 Oriental species and 15 Cosmopolitan species,occupied 76.92％ and 23.08％ in total,respectively.Cosmopolitan species were absolutely dominant.
