Microhabitat requirements of caterpillars of the critically endangered butterfl y Chazara briseis (L.) (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We report the larval microhabitat preferences of the critically endangered Hermit butterfl y, Chazara briseis (L.) (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), from a population inhabiting steep basaltic hills of the Ceske Stredohori highlands, Czech Republic. Based on field records of 61 pre-pupation larvae, we argue that they require dry, south to south-west exposed slopes containing short tufts of their fescue host-plants (Festuca ovina L. agg.) growing on exposed bedrock. These conditions have been maintained by traditional sheep grazing, recently supplemented by trampling along tourist paths. These preferences are practically identical to those found in an earlier study near Halle an der Saale, Germany, situated 180 km to the northeast. Despite the larval preference for short-sward vegetation, C. briseis also requires taller-sward and even shrubby patches providing nectar and shelter for adults. Heterogeneity of conditions is also necessary for several co-occurring endangered insects, including Lep
