Methods for Assessment of Species Richness and Occupancy Across Space, Time, Taxonomic Groups, and Ecoregions. Field Guide and Natural History of Butterflies on the Western Edge of the Great Basin

Abstract

This field guide and natural history was written to share information on the ecology and identification of the species of butterflies that the data suggest regularly breed or occur on Department of Defense lands and ecologically similar areas on the western edge of the Great Basin. Although existing field guides provide some of the same details, this guide focuses on the regional context. For example, it is described how to differentiate among species with similar appearance that co-occur in the western Great Basin. If the biology of a given species varies considerably among ecosystems, it's presented the most relevant information for the region.
