Butterfly diversity: A preliminary checklist from Punjabi University, Patiala, India
Abstract : This report documents the species diversity of butterflies at Punjabi University, Patiala, located in Punjab, India. The checklist was compiled based on field surveys carried out over a three-year period, from August 2021 to September 2024. As an initial effort, this study aims to establish a comprehensive baseline inventory of the butterfly fauna inhabiting the University campus. The findings of this report will serve as a reference point for future biodiversity assessments, ecological monitoring and conservation efforts in this region. Furthermore, this checklist contributes to the broader understanding of butterfly distribution and diversity in the local landscape, providing valuable insights for future taxonomic and ecological studies.
