Changes in Vegetation Cover and Their Effects on the Diversity of Fruit‐Feeding Butterflies
We used fruit‐feeding butterfly diversity as a bioindicator of deforestation for implementing pastures in Brazilian tropical dry forests. A total of 1091 individuals belonging to 35 species of the Nymphalidae family were sampled. Changes in land cover and tree density were important factors in explaining butterfly diversity.
