摘要: AbstractIn the Mediterranean landscape fires are common, sometimes arising due to human activity. Fire influences amount of sunlight that reaches ground, thus affecting diversity and distribution animal plant species. In this study, we analysed effect fire on butterfly at Site Community Importance (SCI) “Monti di Lauro” (IT8040013) in southern Italy (Campania). The area covers 7040 ha is mainly characterised by maquis woody vegetation. We compared flight activity butterflies before after a incident October 2008. Weekly transects were made from April September 2008 2009. From transect data, calculated several indices. surveyed 55 species 5052 individuals (2008: 43 species, 1764 individuals; 2009: 49 3288 individuals). Inter-year comparisons showed richness was significantly lower than 2009, as well abundance; evenness index higher 200...
