THIS EARLY COMPARISON OF TROPICAL AND TEMPERATE BUTTERFLY RICHNES...

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 betweentemperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns varyamong different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richnesswithin 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 stillmostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparisonbetween temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practicaldecisions 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 thepreponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusingon them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
