Fruit-feeding butterflies of Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda

Butterflies were collected seasonally using traps baited with fermented bananas. Traps were set at each 25 m elevation interval along the trail spanning from 1700 m to 2950 m of altitude within Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda. Vegetation type and canopy cover were also recorded to characterize the butterfly habitat use in Nyungwe National Park. Data were analyzed to assess the distribution patterns of fruit-feeding butterflies in Nyungwe National Park.

本研究以发酵香蕉为诱饵布设诱捕器，按季节采集蝴蝶样本。诱捕装置沿卢旺达尼亚恩圭国家公园（Nyungwe National Park）内的步道设置，海拔覆盖1700米至2950米，每25米海拔间隔布设一处。研究同时记录植被类型与冠层盖度，以表征该公园内食果蝴蝶的栖息地利用特征。对采集得到的全部数据进行分析，以评估卢旺达尼亚恩圭国家公园内食果蝴蝶的分布格局。
