Poster abstract [1]. In frames of TACIS project Flood Risk Assessment and Management in Transcarpathian Region, Ukraine from Tiachev to Badalovo some field data collection was carried out. From main task are Compile lists of key species groups, historic data and information/maps on natural habitats in (or to be expected) in the project area; identify which of these species or habitats are rare, unique or endangered (both nationally and using the IUCN Red Data list criteria); identify species that may be used as possible indicator species in the floodplain; analyse past changes in species and habitats and assess present trends, based on historic data; evaluate the effects of various flooding and flood management intervention scenarios on key flora, fauna and habitats. Also very important output is to identify ways in which impacts of flood management interventions can be mitigated, and ways in which interventions can add to floodplain butterfly diversity. This may include modifying dike design, planting of certain preferred species and changing the timing of construction activities. It may also include recommendations for optimising flood management (including water regime management) for the protection of key butterflies. Altogether 30 monitoring sites in the investigated area were visited in July-September 2004. As a result, butterfly database includes 240 records on 41 species from genus Hesperidae (3 species), Papilionidae (2), Pieridae (10), Lycaenidae (9), Nymphalidae (13) and Satyridae (4). More numerous species are Artogeia napi (occurs in 28 sites), Artogeia rapae (23 sites) and Maniola jurtina (21 sites). From European Red Data Book (1999) and IUCN Red Data in the project area such species as Leptidea morsei on 1 site founded. It inhabits foliage forests and has status critically endangered species. Neptis sappho [1] (it occurs on 1 site) has lower risk status and belongs to IUCN Red Data Book. Lycaena dispar [4] included to Bern Convention list (Invertebrate animals.., 1999) can be found on two sites in the project area.
Finally done publication [2] on this project. The data on butterflies (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) of the Transcarpathian Floodplain Ecosystems is presented. The monitoring scheme, diversity and population dynamics of the butterflies for selected areas are described. The data on ecology and conservation of the butterflies is elucidated as well. For enthomologists, ecologists, nature conservationists and as support material for their study and research trainings.
