Butterfly Assemblages Associated with Invasive Tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) Sites: Comparisons with Tamarisk Control and Native Vegetation Reference Sites

Figure 1

Comparison of the relationship of riparian condition scores with the abundance of butterflies in four different categories (high (H), moderately high (MH), moderately low (ML), and low (L)) of sensitivity to disturbance (disturbance susceptibility Scores (DSS)). Categories of butterflies varied in their correlation with riparian scores with more sensitive butterflies more highly correlated ((H-DSS; , , ♦), (MH-DSS; , , ■), (ML-DSS; , , ▲), and (L-DSS; , , )). Trend lines are shown as thick and solid for H-DSS, thin and solid for MH-DSS, small and dotted for ML-DSS, and thick and dashed for L-DSS.
