correct answer to each of the questions from 56 - 64

Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the

world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects

for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable

image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on

science and conservation issues such as diversity.

Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past

century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.

For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon

when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total

number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321.

This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.

A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between

temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among

different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within

temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of

numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal

communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate

and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.

In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical

decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little

is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the

preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on

them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
