Abstract:

As indicators of the ecological environment of insects, the distribution and variation of dynamic resources of butterflies are important for biodiversity conservation and research. Using the Shannon-Wiener index and relative abundance method, we analyzed the results and data from continuous surveys and observations of butterflies in the Huboliao National Nature Reserve (HNNR) from 2016 to 2018 to study the diversity and population dynamics of butterflies. The results showed that there are 176 species of butterflies belonging to 105 genera within five families in the HNNR. Of the six transect lines investigated, there were the largest number of butterfly genera and species in the Zijingshan line, with 71 species recorded. The dominant species, Pieris canidia, was stable for three years and may be closely related to the large areas of rape cultivation. The butterfly fauna of the HNNR is dominated by Oriental species, showing strong Oriental features. In addition, a wide range of species and a small number of Palaearctic species are present in the reserve, indicating the complexity of the nature conservation system composition in the HNNR
