Abstract EN
Diversity of butterfly communities of a tropical rain forest of Bu Gia Map National Park in South Vietnam was studied in four different habitat types (the natural forest, the disturbed forest, the bamboo forest, and the stream sides in the forest) in December 2008 and April 2009.
A total of 112 species with 1703 individuals of Papilionoidae (except Lycaenidae) were recorded.
The proportion of rare species tends to decrease from the natural forest to the stream sides, while the proportion of common species tends to increase from the natural forest to the stream sides.
The stream sides have the greatest individual number, while the disturbed forest contains the greatest species number.
The bamboo forest has the least species and individual numbers.
The stream side environment in the forest plays an important role in conserving butterfly abundance while the bamboo shows the poorest butterfly diversity.
