Abstract:
Abundance of butterflies (without Pieris canidia, P. rapae and P. napi group) observed in the UNESCO biosphere reserve Foping National Reserve in the Qinling Mountains in Central China on 5 transects covering a total length of ca 50 km and subdivided in 50 m sections. Transects were run once a month during the summers of 2014 and 2015.
