Does butterfly diversity predict moth diversity? Testing a popular taxon at local scales

Abstract

Results suggest that butterflies are unlikely to be useful indicators of moth diversity at a local scale, phylogenetic relatedness is not a reliable criterion for selecting appropriate indicator taxa, and a habitat-based approach would more effectively conserve moth diversity in this landscape.
