Environmental correlates of species richness of Sesiidae (Lepidoptera) in Europe
Original language description
We use recent compilations of species richness of 54 European countries and larger islands and linear spatial autocorrelation modelling to infer the influence of area and environmental variables on the number of clearwing moths (Sesiidae) species in Europe. Area corrected species richness of rhizophagous Sesiidae peaked at about 40° N and decreased towards higher and lower latitudes. Most species richness was Greece (45 species), Bulgaria (37), Italy (35), and Romania (35). In turn, the area corrected species richness of xylophagous Sesiidae peaked at about 45° N with France (24) and Italy (22) being most species rich. Species richness was significantly positively correlated with area and the average yearly difference in temperature and significantly negatively correlated with latitude. Island and mainland SAR slopes did not significantly differ however island species richness appeared to be about 2 to 2.5 times lower than mainland richness at comparable area.
