Fruit-feeding butterflies (family Nymphalidae) are common indicator species of environmental changes in tropical moist forests. In their study published in the May issue of Ecosphere, Korkiatupa et al. analyzed community composition changes of fruit-feeding butterflies in restored forests of Kibale National Park, Uganda. They showed that as the restored forests get older, the butterfly communities increasingly resemble communities found in the primary forests. The strikingly blue Euphaedra uganda was one of the 101 fruit-feeding butterfly species recorded during the sampling.
