Observations were conducted beginning from the peak of the mountain following a foot track from Upas Crater (2,080 meters a.s.l.) through montane forest to Situ Lembang (1,600 meters a.s.l.). From 12 different locations, 23 species of butterflies were recorded and noted as a new record of butterflies from MTP. Mycalesis sudra and Ypthima pandocus were observed consistently at all altitudes. Kaniska canace appears to be a unique species only observed at 2,080 meters a.s.l., while Lampides boeticus and Leptosia nina malayana were characteristic of lower mountain species which were never found above 1,600 meters a.s.l. Lantana camara was the plant species most frequently visited by butterflies. © National University of Singapore.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Altitudinal gradient,Butterfly,Distribution,Tangkuban Parahu[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
