چکیده

مطالعه‌ای در اطراف روستای کارنیس (گوشه جنوب شرقی خط الراس کوه تساغکونیاتس) برای مستندسازی ترکیب گونه‌های Papilionoidea و Hesperioidea منطقه انجام شد. جمع‌آوری‌ها در فصول بهار، تابستان و اوایل پائیز 2021-2023 انجام شد. در طول تحقیق، 149 نمونه جمع‌آوری شد که شامل 40 گونه متعلق به پنج خانواده بودند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که بیشتر این گونه‌ها به خانواده Nymphalidae تعلق دارند، در حالی که کمترین گونه‌ها به ترتیب متعلق به Papilionidae و Hesperiidae بودند. احتمالاً Nymphalidae به دلیل توانایی آنها در تغذیه از گیاهان مختلف بیشترین فراوانی را داشت. نادرترین گونه Melitaea persea (Kollar, 1850) و فراوان‌ترین گونه Pieris brassica (Linnaeus, 1758) بود. شاخص‌های تنوع برای خانواده‌های شناسایی‌شده محاسبه شد. بر این اساس، مقدار شاخص شانون-وینر (H’) برای منطقه در مجموع 521/3 بود، در حالی که مقادیر ثبت شده برای هر خانواده 637/0 (Papilionidae)، 075/2 (Pieridae)، 061/1 (Hesperiidae)، 235/2 (Lycaenidae) و 589/2 (Nymphalidae) بود. اگرچه سایت مورد مطالعه، تنوع پروانه‌ای مناسبی را نشان داد، اما از نظر غنای گونه‌ای در میان نقاط فقیرتر این رشته کوه قرار دارد. به نظر می‌رسد با توجه به سرعت بالای شهرنشینی و افزایش جمعیت، گونه‌های سازگار با محیط‌های شهری که با تحرک بیشتر و تخصص زیستگاهی کمتر مشخص می‌شوند در کارنیس رایج هستند.

چکیده [English]

A study was conducted in the surroundings of Karenis village (South-Eastern corner of Tsaghkunyats Mountain Ridge) to document the composition of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea species in the area. The specimens were collected in the spring, summer, and early autumn of 2021-2023. During the research, 149 specimens were collected, representing 40 species, belonging to five families. The findings indicated that most of these species were from the family Nymphalidae, while the fewest species represent Papilionidae and Hesperiidae, respectively. Nymphalidae was the most abundant, likely due to their ability to feed on a variety of plants. The rarest species was Melitaea persea (Kollar, 1850), and the most abundant was Pieris brassica (Linnaeus, 1758). Diversity indices were calculated for identified families. Accordingly, the Shannon–Wiener index (H′) value for the area was 3.521 in total, while different values recorded for each family were 0.637 (Papilionidae), 2.075 (Pieridae), 1.061 (Hesperiidae), 2.235 (Lycaenidae) and 2.589 (Nymphalidae). Although the study site showed decent butterfly diversity, it is among the poorer spots in the mountain range in terms of species richness. It seems that due to the rapid rate of urbanization and increasing population, species adapted to urban environments characterized by higher mobility and lower habitat specificity are prevalent in Karenis.
