Effects of Land Use on Butterfly Communities at the Rain Forest Margin: A Case Study from Central Sulawesi

Abstract

Many studies focus on the impact of forest disturbance on tropical diversity (e.g. Chung and Maryati 1996; Dahaban et al. 1996; Eggleton et al. 1997; Hamer et al. 1997; Intachat et al. 1997, 1999a; Johns 1992; Lambert 1992; Lawton et al. 1998; Liow et al. 2001; Watt et al. 1997; Willott 1999; Willott et al. 2000). In contrast, agricultural ecosystems and forest plantations have been taken into account only exceptionally (e.g. Chey et al. 1997; Davis et al. 2000; Holloway 1998; Holloway et al. 1992; Intachat et al. 1999b). Published studies of agroforests do not provide comparative data from pristine forests to evaluate the relative importance of agroforestry for maintaining tropical biodiversity (e.g. Klein et al. 2002a, 2002b; Perfecto and Snelling 1995; Perfecto and Vandermeer 1996). Secondary forests and certain land-use systems may be important in preserving at least a fraction of the tropical biodiversity (Hughes et al. 2002; Lugo 1992) of which insects are a major part (Hammond 1992; Stork 1988).
