RESUMO

Data were obtaineid about home range, diespersion of individuals, dispersion of contacts with host plants and flowers, and use of communal roosts in a populations of Heliconius erato phyllis (L.) in the Horto da Ferrovia Paulista S/A. at Sumaré, State of São Paulo, Brazil, from June, 1979, to April, 1980. These data, with the exception fo thouse about communal roosts, were obtained through observation of marked butterflies along a system of parallel trails. The number of female contacts with Passiflora spp indicates that P misera is the primary host plant that P. suberosa is an alternative resource for oviposition. The number of butterfly visits to flower indicates that Lantana camara and L. lilacina are the major source of pollen and nectar. Most of the butterfly observations and of the female contacts with P. misera and flowers were recorded at the boundaries of the Mata Umida e Fechada de Eucalyptus with the Capoeira and with the Mata Mista de Eucalyptus e Gochnatia as well as the south part of the boundary of the Mata Mista de Eucalyptus e Gochnatia with the Campo Sujo. Female contacts with P. suberosa were more frequent in the Mata Umida e Fechada de Eucalyptus. Male contacts with L. camara and L. lilacina were more frequent in three areas different from those where most of butterfly observations and female contacts with P. misera and flowers occurred ...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations.
