As pollinators continue to decrease across the United States, it is becoming more important to understand how this trend can be reversed. Cities, which have typically eliminated and fragmented pollinator habitat, may be able to utilize rooftops for the benefit of pollinators. The Memorial Stadium green roofs at Kansas State University are rooftops previously used as stadium seating, portions of which have recently been converted to native prairie vegetation. I evaluated the effectiveness of these green roofs as pollinator habitat in an urban context by comparing butterfly communities of the green roofs to those in an urban native prairie at Warner Park in Manhattan, Kansas, and a protected tallgrass prairie at the Konza Prairie Biological Station, approximately 10 km south of Manhattan, Kansas. I assessed the influence of on-site vegetation composition on butterfly species richness, distribution, behavior, and abundance. I employed a modified Pollard walk, plant composition sampling, and mapping of spatial distribution of vegetation used by individual butterflies with a GPS unit. Initial findings suggest that green roofs can provide urban habitat for butterflies. Indeed, butterfly abundance and mean species richness were greater at the Memorial Stadium than at either native prairie. However, while the green roofs support many species of butterflies, tallgrass prairie specialist species that were seen in the native prairie sites, such as the regal fritillary, were not observed using the green roofs. Butterfly behavior also varied between sites: butterflies using the stadium were predominately foraging, whereas butterflies at native prairie sites were flying through and not interacting with the plants. While plant species interactions with butterflies and links per species were greatest at Memorial Stadium, nestedness was lowest at this site. This study not only suggests that green roofs can compensate for lost pollinator habitat in urban areas, but by examining the effects of vegetation composition and structure as well as local land cover on butterfly abundance and behavior, it has important implications for the design and management of green roofs as urban butterfly habitat.

The consequences of habitat fragmentation on communities have been extensively studied. However, few studies on habitat fragmentation have addressed the role landscape context plays in determining local species assemblages. Our study examines how landscape composition at the regional scale effects prairie butterfly communities in 24 Midwest native tallgrass prairie remnants located in four distinct geographical regions. These regions differed in their degree of historical habitat heterogeneity and their current predominant land use (matrix habitat). The current land use categories, or matrix type, included: row crop agriculture, pasture for cattle grazing, woodland, and urban development. Historically, the regions varied from continuous tallgrass prairie ecosystem to the historically isolated and smaller 'goat prairies' located within the Driftless area in Northeast Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin. Area accounted for a significant amount of the variation in species richness only in the two historically fragmented regions.

The 7-volume Encyclopedia of Biodiversity, Second Edition maintains the reputation of the highly regarded original, presenting the most current information available in this globally crucial area of research and study. It brings together the dimensions of biodiversity and examines both the services it provides and the measures to protect it. Major themes of the work include the evolution of biodiversity, systems for classifying and defining biodiversity, ecological patterns and theories of biodiversity, and an assessment of contemporary patterns and trends in biodiversity. The science of biodiversity has become the science of our future. It is an interdisciplinary field spanning areas of both physical and life sciences. Our awareness of the loss of biodiversity has brought a long overdue appreciation of the magnitude of this loss and a determination to develop the tools to protect our future. Second edition includes over 100 new articles and 226 updated articles covering this multidisciplinary field— from evolution to habits to economics, in 7 volumes The editors of this edition are all well respected, instantly recognizable academics operating at the top of their respective fields in biodiversity research; readers can be assured that they are reading material that has been meticulously checked and reviewed by experts Approximately 1,800 figures and 350 tables complement the text, and more than 3,000 glossary entries explain key terms
