Questions 1 - 10: Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each
question.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species
have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns
of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general
public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation
issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found
on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early
comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate
and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different
animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or
tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of
species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication"
citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these
patterns are still in the documentation phase.

In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are
made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about
the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples
because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by
imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
