Rarity, species richness and conservation: Butterflies of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco

摘要: Abstract A study was made of the butterflies associated with different biotopes in Atlas mountains Morocco. Geographically restricted species were found to be biotope specialists. These tend vulnerable which warrant conservation measures, and are not necessarily appear low a rank abundance curve. Butterfly richness correlated plant richness, butterfly density percentage ground cover vegetation. Many particular seral stages. comparison is potential effectiveness versus ecosystem As most poorly studied, probably best strategy for protect as wide variety possible. Subsequently approach may applied encompassed by this policy.
