Systematics and life history studies of Rocky Mountains butterflies

Includes bibliographical references.This note discusses previously-unrecognized adult wing pattern forms of Papilio multicaudata Kirby, a discussion of ecological causes of these forms, and the reasons that the name pusillus Austin & J. Emmel is an early seasonal form and not a subspecies. Form minimulticaudata is tiny in size, and is caused by starvation of second-generation larvae in the lower mountains the previous late summer. This research was started when Michael S. Fisher was studying the forms he was observing. As a result, the tiny form minimulticaudata was named by Fisher & Scott in Fisher (2012), who summarized the distribution and flight periods of the forms

Butterflies of the southern Rocky Mountains area, and their natural history and behavior

This book reports the biology of the butterflies of the southern Rocky Mountains area, including all the species in Colorado, although surrounding areas are also discussed, especially the rest of the Southern Rocky Mts. in Wyoming and New Mexico and into Utah. This book presents what is known of the biology of the butterflies of Colorado and vicinity, including hostplants, eggs/larvae/pupae appearance and habits, behavior including flight habits and migration and mate-locating and mating and basking and roosting, and the flowers and other foods of adult butterflies, and natural history aspects of their biochemistry, plus mimicry, flight periods and number of generations, etc. It also includes taxonomic matters to assist identification of all the species and subspecies and forms. Much research on the biology of Colorado area butterflies has been done recently, but it has been published in many scattered publications and scientific journals and is not readily available, and some good research is unpublished; this book attempts to make it available, and provides the sources for good published research.Text only.

The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project: State Wildlife Action Plan 2nd edition

Nebraska’s rich biological diversity is composed of thousands of plant and animal species interacting with each other and the environment. The flora and fauna of the state, along with the natural habitats they occupy, form Nebraska’s natural heritage – a legacy that should be treasured just as much as our cultural heritage. Unfortunately, populations of many once common species have declined because of a variety of stresses, including habitat loss, habitat degradation, diseases, and competition and predation from invasive species. While conservation actions in the past have had notable successes, they have not been sufficient to stem the overall tide of species decline. There is a need for a comprehensive, systematic and proactive approach to conserving the full array of Nebraska’s biological diversity. The goals of the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project are to: 1. Reverse the decline of at-risk species (and avoid the need for state or federal listing as threatened or endangered) 2. Recover currently listed species and allow for their de-listing 3. Keep common species common 4. Conserve natural communities Almost all existing natural habitat in Nebraska, and the biological diversity it supports, resides on lands under private ownership. All Nebraskans can benefit from the strong conservation tradition and sound stewardship of private landowners. The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project seeks to continue this tradition, while at the same time creating new opportunities for collaboration between farmers, ranchers, communities, private and governmental organizations and others for conserving Nebraska’s biological diversity, our natural heritage. The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project is non-regulatory, voluntary, incentive-based conservation. As stewards for the next generation, it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure the treasures that were handed to us by nature and our predecessors are still here for future generations of Nebraskans to enjoy
