Butterflies {gpk}

Study of distribution of butterfly species count among 5 groups and in different localities in India

Description

One encounters butterflies in most localities in India. Species richness is the total number of different butterfly species encountered in a locality. This total count can be divided into counts of different families (5 families in the present case). It is expected that distribution among the 5 families should be similar across localities that are geographically closer or ecologically similar. Further, some families may have a nearly constant share in different localities. It may then be enough to count species of that family and guess counts in other families.
