چکیده

تعیین تنوع زیستی حشرات در مناطق حفاظت شده برای حفاظت موثر و مدیریت اکوسیستم بسیار مهم است. مطالعه حاضر به منظور بررسی پراکنش و تنوع شب پره های خانواده Noctuidae در مناطق کوهستانی و دشتی منطقه حفاظت شده آرک در شرق ایران انجام شد. نمونه برداری در بهار و تابستان سال های 1402 و 1403 انجام شد. سه محل نمونه برداری از مناطق دارای دشت و کوهستان انتخاب شد. نمونه برداری در مکان های انتخابی با استفاده از تله های نوری انجام شد. در مجموع 1948 نمونه متعلق به 56 گونه شب پره در مناطق مورد مطالعه جمع آوری شد.گونه Dysmilichia bicyclica به میزان 7/20 درصد از فون شب پره های این خانواده را شامل شده و به عنوان غالب ترین گونه Noctuidae در منطقه تشخیص داده شد. تجزیه و تحلیل نوع غالبیت گونه‌ها نشان می‌دهد که بیشتر گونه‌های این خانواده (1/66 درصد) در این منطقه بسیار نادر (subrare) هستند. نتایج نشان می دهد که شاخص های تنوع زیستی بین مناطق دشتی و کوهستانی تفاوت معنی داری دارد. مناطق کوهستانی غنای‌ گونه‌ای (شاخص :Menhinick 86/1 و 68/1) و فراوانی بیشتر بودند، در حالی که دشت‌ها دارای یکنواختی (شاخص Buzas & Gibson: 75/0، 0.65) بیشتر و غالبیت برخی گونه‌ها بودند. تفاوت در غنای گونه ای، یکنواختی و غالبیت بین دشت و کوهستان بر نیاز به اقدامات حفاظتی خاص زیستگاه برای حفظ جوامع بالپولکداران تأکید می کند. همچنین، براساس یافته های این تحقیق، این منطقه زیستگاه گونه‌های شب پره بسیار نادر زیادی است و اجرای اقدامات حفاظتی در این منطقه اهمیت زیادی دارد.

چکیده [English]

Determination of the insect biodiversity in protected areas is very important for effective conservation and ecosystem management. The present study was carried out to investigate distribution and diversity of noctuid moths in mountainous and plain regions in the Ark Protected Area, eastern Iran, on the sites with very diverse altitudinal gradients and different environmental conditions. Samplings were carried out during spring and summer of 2023 and 2024. Three sampling site were chosen from areas composed of plains and mountains in Ark Protected Area in the province of Khorasan-e Jonoubi, Iran. Samplings were carried out at selected sites using light traps. Biodiversity was analyzed using non-parametric and parametric methods. A total of 1948 specimens belonging to 56 species of Noctuid moths were caught in the study areas. Dysmilichia bicyclica comprising 20.7% of the fauna proved to be the most dominant Noctuid species of the area. Analysis of species dominance categories reveals that most noctuid species (66.1%) have subrare dominance in this region. Results indicate that biodiversity indices differed significantly between plain and mountainous areas. Mountainous regions were more species-rich (Menhinick index: 1.86 and 1.68) and abundant while plains were more species-even (Buzas & Gibson index: 0.75 and 0.65) and dominated by some species. Differences in both species richness, evenness, and dominance, between plains and mountains, underline the need for habitat-specified conservation actions to preserve moth communities. Also, our findings point out the crucial implementation of conservation in this area, as it is a habitat for many subrare moth species.
