A Quantitative Conservation Approach for the Endangered Butterfly Maculinea alcon

Article Abstract:

Isolation was found to be less important than habitat characteristics when assessing conservation possibilities for the Netherlands butterfly Maculinea alcon. Research from 1998 to 1999 involved host plant abundance, host ant presence, patch area, connectivity between sites and overall heathland area.
