</list-item>
<list-item><p>In a butterfly assemblage in northern Italy, we found that adults from 30 species avoid deciduous high‐density forests and their ecotones, and they were positively related to open areas and their ecotones. Besides these common features, five groups of species can be discriminated in relation to a gradient from open area to forest, and species within groups were not equally specialised, as observed from a bipartite network analysis. In particular, some species appeared to be specialised and others appeared to be generalist, suggesting a nested pattern of resource use, rather than a clustered pattern in which each species uses a different subset of habitat types.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>The degree of variation in specialisation among species varied with the number of species falling in each group. Thus, an increased number of species, and thus possibly competition, is more likely to promote the co‐occurrence of generalist and specialised species (nested patterns) rather than an increased niche segregation among species.</p>

<body id="icad12193-body-0001"><sec id="icad12193-sec-0001"><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are a well‐studied insect group both taxonomically and ecologically (e.g. Gilbert, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">1984</xref>
; Kocher & Williams, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>
; Ghazoul, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0026" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>
; Stefanescu <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0063" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0062" ref-type="ref">2011</xref>
), particularly because they interact with plants both as larval herbivores and adult pollinators (Borges <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
; Hardy <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0030" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>
) and have different habitat requirements even at each life stage (New <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0047" ref-type="ref">1995</xref>
; Samways & Lu, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0056" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>
; Dennis, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0018" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
). In turn, because these interactions are important mechanisms of biological diversification (Leather, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0038" ref-type="ref">1990</xref>
; Basset, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">1991a</xref>
,<xref rid="icad12193-bib-0006" ref-type="ref">b</xref>
; Slansky, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0060" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>
), the abundance and distribution of butterflies within a particular area can give insights into the environment's quality (Kocher & Williams, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>
).</p>
<p>These largely specialised butterfly–habitat associations are influenced by many physical and biological factors (Leps & Spitzer, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0039" ref-type="ref">1990</xref>
; Spitzer <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0061" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>
), including temperature, humidity, light levels, rainfall patterns, local microclimate conditions, grassland type and host–plant species richness and distribution (Hill <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0031" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>
; Meyer & Sisk, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0043" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>
; Collinge <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
; Menéndez <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0042" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>
). All these variables define the <italic>resource‐based habitat</italic>
or <italic>habitat requirements</italic>
of each butterfly species, i.e., the habitat characterised by resources and conditions required by organisms and their access to them (Dennis, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0018" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
). Furthermore, competition among species, presence of invasive species and avoidance strategies to escape from natural enemies (enemy‐free space) also affect species occurrence in a given area (Murphy, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0046" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
; Dennis, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0018" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
; Wagner & Van Driesche, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0066" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
; Hanula & Horn, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0029" ref-type="ref">2011</xref>
).</p>
<p>While habitat requirements have been assessed for many butterfly species in detail, the degree to which species within an assemblage segregate their habitat use (i.e. how they are specialised in a subset of habitat types) has been less well studied.</p>
<p>The concepts of habitat <italic>requirements</italic>
and habitat <italic>specialisation</italic>
are strongly linked to the classical differences between the <italic>pure</italic>
ecological niche based on the <italic>physiological optimum</italic>
(Austin, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0002" ref-type="ref">1980</xref>
, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0003" ref-type="ref">1985</xref>
) (niche requirements) and the true and realised ecological niche (Hutchinson, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">1957</xref>
; Pulliam, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0053" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>
) (niche specialisation). Thus, while habitat requirements can be seen as a property of a species, habitat specialisation is a variable property that can vary with many interacting factors such as the presence of inter‐specific competitors, the population density and thus the intra‐specific competition and the body size of the individuals, among others (Chase & Leibold, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0016" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
; Dennis <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0020" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0019" ref-type="ref">2011</xref>
; Rosenfeld, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0055" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
).</p>
<p>Consider, for example, two butterfly species occurring in the same area that use similar habitat types, e.g., open grass areas and ecotones, and thus require the same habitat conditions. The two species may either use both habitat types equally (generalism) or segregate the use of the two habitat types (specialisation). Species may in fact overlap to different degrees the relative use of each type of habitat (Julliard <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>
; Poisot <italic>et al</italic>

), a pattern that may occur either because of an evolutionary trade‐off between the ability of species to exploit a range of resources and their capability of using each one (Futuyma & Moreno, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0025" ref-type="ref">1988</xref>
), or because of factors such as inter‐specific competition (Schroder & Rosenzweig, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0057" ref-type="ref">1975</xref>
). It is thus important to analyse the two concepts (habitat requirements and habitat specialisation) simultaneously in a given species assemblage.</p>
<p>Here, we analysed the relationship between habitat requirements and habitat specialisation in an assemblage of butterflies in a riverine natural park in northern Italy. The aim was to test whether butterfly species with similar habitat requirements overlap their habitat use or, alternatively, they segregate their habitat use despite having similar habitat requirements. To do this, we first defined the requirements, i.e., which habitat types positively or negatively correlate with species abundances, and then used a network‐based approach (Blüthgen <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0010" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>
) to analyse the degree of habitat use overlap within groups of species with similar habitat requirements.</p>

<sec id="icad12193-sec-0003"><title>Study area</title>
<p>The study was conducted in the Ticino Regional Park (Lombardy, northern Italy, approximately from 45°44′0″N to 45°10′0″N and from 8°38′0″E to 9°16′0″E, with an elevation of 50–200 m a.s.l.) in summer 2008–2009. The study area is characterised by a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers and covers about 91 000 hectares. The park represents one of the most important green hot spots of the Po river Plain, which is otherwise very anthropised.</p>
<p>Within the park, four sites were chosen for the sampling programme. The two southern sites (coded as 1 and 4) (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
) were generally characterised by a thick riparian oak forest with some agricultural areas (poplar plantations, transects 1 and 2). Site 1 in particular showed a high degree of habitat diversity, including a flooded forest with <italic>Alnus glutinosa</italic>
,<italic> Salix alba</italic>
and <italic>Populus alba</italic>
. The two northern sites (coded as 2 and 3) (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
) include areas that have previously been intensively used as military areas, and they can be considered partially anthropised areas. Although some natural parts still persist, the presence of alien and invasive plant species is relevant. These two sites were mainly characterised by open areas with shrubs (<italic>Calluna vulgaris</italic>
,<italic> Crataegus monogyna</italic>
,<italic> Rubus caesius</italic>
,<italic> Cytisus scoparius</italic>
) and by a low density of trees of exotic species, such as <italic>Robinia pseudoacacia</italic>
,<italic> Ailanthus altissima</italic>
and <italic>Prunus serotina</italic>

<sec id="icad12193-sec-0004"><title>Species sampling procedure</title>
<p>Sampling was carried out from the end of June to the first days of September for 9 weeks/year. Sites 1 and 2 were sampled in 2008, while sites 3 and 4 were sampled in 2009. Surveys were conducted between 09:30 and 17:00 h. Every site contained three 500 m line transects (<italic>n</italic>
= 12 plots), in which we followed established guidelines for butterfly monitoring to minimise observer bias (Pollard & Yates, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0050" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>
). Observations were carried out during systematic walking surveys (75 min per plot visit – standardised search time) only in favourable temperature conditions (temperature >17 °C) and in calm to light winds. Every transect walk was repeated twice a week, for a total of 216 transects and 108 walked kilometres.</p>
<p>In contrast to previous research on butterflies, this study was based on a precise georeference of every sampled individual leading to a database of butterfly positions characterised by a large sample (<italic>n</italic>
= 2924) and a good level of accuracy (Breed & Severns, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">2015</xref>
). All the points were recorded by a GPS (Garmin 60 CSx) whose standard error is considered to be between 4 and 7 m in good weather conditions. We considered the average GPS error to be two to seven times lower than the minimum detectable linear dimension of the available land cover, which is more accurate (minimum cartographic unit: 0.16 ha, scale 1:10 000) than land cover data used in other studies of butterfly species distributions (minimum cartographic unit: 2.25 ha, scale 1:50 000, Gutiérrez <italic>et al</italic>

).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="icad12193-sec-0005"><title>GIS analyses and definition of habitat types</title>
<p>All the recorded points were imported and overlaid under a GIS environment (ESRI Arc View 3.2a) with the database of land cover classes (hereafter: habitat classes) describing the whole Lombardy region, thereby including the 12 plots (DUSAF, <italic>Destinazione Uso dei Suoli Agricoli e Forestali</italic>
, ERSAF <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0023" ref-type="ref">2008</xref>
). In the sampled areas, eight habitats were recognised together with a further seven ecotones between these habitats for a total of 15 habitat classes (see Table <xref rid="icad12193-tbl-0001" ref-type="table">1</xref>
). The detail level is equal to an information scale of 1:10 000. For each land use feature with a polygonal configuration and a measurable surface, the minimum dimensional threshold of representability corresponds to 0.16 ha, and the smallest detectable linear dimension of the polygon is 20 m (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ersaf.lombardia.it/upload/ersaf/gestionedocumentale/WEB_Libro_suolo_EN_784_11577.pdf">http://www.ersaf.lombardia.it/upload/ersaf/gestionedocumentale/WEB_Libro_suolo_EN_784_11577.pdf</ext-link>

<p>All twelve 500 m transects were first divided into 300 sectors (<italic>n</italic>
= 25 in each transect), each characterised by a length of 20 m and a width of 50 m, in order to consider the influence of habitat classes contiguous to the point of the supposed selection operated by every individual (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). A double GIS spatial join application associated the field‐sampled points with the sectors previously associated with habitat classes (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
). When more than one habitat class fell into the same sector, we considered it as a separate habitat class composed and identified by the two source–habitat classes. We then counted the abundance of sampled individuals of each species in each sector and clustered the sectors according to the habitat class they showed, thereby calculating abundances for each habitat type.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="icad12193-sec-0006"><title>Habitat requirements of species</title>
<p>Data were prepared for analysis with the R package ‘vegan’ (version 2.0–5, The R Development Core Team <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0054" ref-type="ref">2011</xref>
) to associate the different habitat preferences with each species and assess habitat requirements. The matrix had species as rows and line transects as columns. We calculated Morisita dissimilarity indices among species using the ‘vegdist’ function. Morisita is an index of patchiness, and it is used to calculate overlap among samples (Morisita, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0045" ref-type="ref">1959</xref>
). The dissimilarity matrix obtained was clustered specifying the ‘complete linkage’ method in the ‘hclust’ function in the ‘vegan’ package. We applied the ‘cascadeKM’ function to the standardised square root indices and applied the Calinski–Harabasz criterion (Milligan & Cooper, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0044" ref-type="ref">1985</xref>
) to select the best partition inside the dendrogram obtained by the cluster, thereby dividing the whole species group into subgroups with a similar use of habitat types.</p>
<p>In order to understand whether environmental characteristics influenced the abundance of individuals, we applied a generalised linear mixed effects model (GLMM) for count data (Atkins <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
) for each of the previously selected groups. We ran zero‐inflated GLMMs due to the huge amount of zeros in our data set. GLMMs were run by applying the AD Model Builder procedure using the ‘glmmADMB’ package in R (Skaug <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0059" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>
), specifying the Poisson distribution inside the model (Bolker <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0011" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
). Before starting the analysis, we applied a conservative method to calculate significance for each factor included in the model based on the evaluation of the standard deviation calculated for each estimate multiplied by 2. Consequently, estimates were significant only if the interval enclosed by two times their standard deviations did not cross 0. According to Breslow (<xref rid="icad12193-bib-0015" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
), generalised linear mixed models may yield biased estimates of the variance component when the mean number of counts per treatment combination is less than five, so we removed from the analysis all the species whose number of counted individuals was below this value. Land cover class classification and the year of the sample were inserted in the model as fixed effects and the plot as a random effect.</p>

<sec id="icad12193-sec-0007"><title>Habitat–species network</title>
<p>Even though network analysis has been previously applied to feeding interactions (Bosch <italic>et al</italic>

; Polidori <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0049" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>
), it is also adequate for species–habitat webs within given areas when habitats are well characterised and thus represent discrete nodes of the webs. Ecologists continuously produce detailed classifications of habitat types based on sophisticated analyses of their components (e.g. soil, vegetation structure, climate), so that these classifications can be used as a basis for species–habitat webs.</p>
<p>Network indices based on information theory (Shannon entropy) were used to characterise our species–habitat webs in each area (2008 and 2009) and site (two in 2008 and two in 2009) (Dormann <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0021" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>
). The nodes of each network are composed of butterfly species versus their habitat types, and link weights are the number of individuals collected in each habitat type.</p>
<p>Because we were interested in the degree of habitat segregation between species, we considered the degree of complementarity (or exclusiveness) of interactions, defined as the standardised index <italic>H</italic>

., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0010" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>

<p>Following the GLMM results (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0003" ref-type="fig">3</xref>
), in the first group, we found a positive influence on the abundance of open areas (324, 1412) and a negative influence of natural dense deciduous forests (31111) and poplar plantations (2241) on the abundance. Ecotones between open and forest areas were also positively associated with abundance (31111_324, 1412_31111). Similarly, in the second group, we found a positive influence on the abundance of open heath land (324) and a negative influence on the abundance of poplar plantations and dense deciduous forests (31111). Many types of ecotones (31111_324, 2311_3113, 2311_31121) and riparian vegetation (3113) were also positively associated with the abundances of these species. Negative relationships between the abundance and open heath land (324) and its ecotone and natural dense deciduous forests (31111_324) were found in the third group, while the abundances of the species belonging to the fourth group were negatively associated with open anthropised heath areas (1412) and positively associated with the ecotone between open green areas and sparse deciduous forests (2311_31121). In the fifth group, positive influences on the abundance of sparse deciduous forests (31121), open green areas (2311) and poplar plantations (2241) were found. In addition, species of this group were positively associated with some ecotones, particularly those including riparian vegetation (31121_3113, 2311_3113). The year of sampling also affected the abundance of the species of groups 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0003" ref-type="fig">3</xref>

<sec id="icad12193-sec-0011"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>We showed for the first time that high precision of hand‐held GPS georeferenced data can give detailed insights into how butterflies occupy possible suitable habitats based on their ecological needs, as previously shown for other animal groups (Lindeque & Lindeque, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0040" ref-type="ref">1991</xref>
; Kissling <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">2014</xref>
; Breed & Severns, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>We found a coherent picture and a general rule by which butterfly species seemed to occupy suitable habitats based on their species‐specific ecological needs. In particular, species grouping seemed to be based on a continuum index of lightness, ranging from group 1 generally being influenced by open areas to group 5 being strongly related to closed‐canopy forests. If we look at the estimates associated with forest habitats and open habitats in our model (Fig. <xref rid="icad12193-fig-0003" ref-type="fig">3</xref>
), we can see that they changed sign while proceeding from group 1 to group 5. In particular, forests are negatively related to the abundance of the sampled individuals in the first group, but they increase their positive influence while moving to group 5; the opposite occurs for the above‐mentioned general open dry areas. Furthermore, all the species, regardless of the group identity, seemed to avoid natural dense deciduous forests and associated ecotones. These are closed and shaded habitats, and luminosity was shown to be very important for butterflies, determining minimum and maximum flight conditions (Douwes, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0022" ref-type="ref">1976</xref>
) as well as flight duration (Shreeve, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0058" ref-type="ref">1984</xref>
). For example, in a restoration experiment of ponderosa pine forests in North America, butterfly species richness and abundance were up to three times greater in restoration treatment units where host plant and nectar plant species richness were similar to control units, but insolation (light intensity) was significantly greater (Waltz & Covington, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0067" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>This differential importance of habitat light intensity in structuring our studied butterfly assemblage is confirmed by a comparison of our results with previous information on the habitat characteristics for the studied species, which revealed a general congruence. All the three species of the first group are reported to inhabit bushy places, and dry and hot areas, and are usually associated with forest ecotones and clearing margins (Table S1). Species of the second group showed a negative relationship with the presence of forest areas, and a positive association with open natural heath areas. Furthermore, species of group 2 seemed to be more influenced by ecotones than species of group 1, with grassland representing the key habitat type. We also found a positive influence of riparian vegetation on individual abundance, probably because most of the individuals belonging to group 2 were sampled in a site characterised by a single line of riparian vegetation and large open areas, thereby representing once again a sort of structural ecotone inside an open area. According to literature, many species of group 2 are defined as ecotone species (Table S1). Groups 3 and 4, on the other hand, which were negatively associated with open heath land and its ecotones, confirmed the decreasing importance of open areas while moving from group 1 to group 5. Indeed, species of group 5 were clearly associated with poplar plantations and sparse deciduous forests. Many species in group 5 were previously reported as being somehow linked to a forest environment (Table S1), but some species are reported to be associated with very different habitats (from open grassland to forests) (Table S1). Additionally, the significant effect of the year in some groups showed a temporal shift in species abundance, suggesting population fluctuations depending on change in abiotic or biotic conditions.</p>
<p>The degree of specialisation was not similar among species within groups in our studied assemblage. For example, <italic>Hipparchia statilinus</italic>
was much more specialised than the other species of group 1, while <italic>Minois dryas</italic>
frequented many more coppice deciduous forests and their ecotones than the other species of group 2. Two species of group 3 (<italic>Everes argiades</italic>
and <italic>Aglais io</italic>
), which in literature are reported as generalist species in many habitats including flowery bushy places, grassy banks, forest clearings, flowering meadows, forest edges and sheltered rocky gullies (Table S1), were very specialised in our study. Even the two closely related species (both from the genus <italic>Pieris</italic>
) comprising group 4 differed greatly in specialisation.</p>
<p>Because the index of specialisation <italic>d</italic>
<sub>i</sub>
′ increases with the level of specialisation, the positive correlation between the variance of <italic>d</italic>
′ and the number of species across groups means that an increased number of species are more likely to promote the co‐occurrence of generalist and specialised species (nested patterns) rather than an increased niche segregation among species (a clustered pattern). Thus, possible increased competition (i.e. a higher number of species sharing the same habitat requirements) would not increase habitat segregation, while a few highly specialised species would use a subset of habitats exploited by more generalist species. This consideration is consistent with previous network‐based studies, which showed nestedness common in both mutualistic (e.g. plant–pollinator) networks (Bascompte <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0004" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>
) and agonistic (e.g. host–parasite) networks (Joppa <italic>et al</italic>

) (although compartmentalisation is also observed in agonistic webs, e.g. Prado & Lewinsohn, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0052" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
). Bastolla <italic>et al</italic>
. (<xref rid="icad12193-bib-0007" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>
) showed that the process by which a new species enters a community will likely lead to a nested pattern of interactions, because the new species tries to minimise its competitive load, an action that forces it to interact with the most generalist species. This could also be applied to habitats: When a new species arrives in a given area, it will first select sites with certain characteristics (requirements) and then reduce the overlap with competing species, largely using only a subset of the habitats used by generalist species.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="icad12193-sec-0012"><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>Our results stress the importance of considering both the habitat requirements of species and the specialisation in habitat use by each species when analysing butterfly assemblages. Indeed, many species studied here, previously known as generalists, were found to be locally specialised in our analysis. This is particularly important in the light of butterfly conservation, because the more specialised species may also be those with higher susceptibility to network distortions and thus with higher fragility to co‐extinction (Blüthgen, <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0008" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
). This would provide elements for deciding protection priorities for the species at local scales.</p>
<p>Although none of the sampled species are listed as threatened in the European Red List of Lepidoptera (with the exception of <italic>Hipparchia statilinus</italic>
, which is listed as Near Threatened, Van Swaay <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0064" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
), five species (<italic>Coenonympha pamphilus</italic>
,<italic> Lycaena phlaeas</italic>
,<italic> Maniola jurtina</italic>
,<italic> Ochlodes sylvanus</italic>
and <italic>Polyommatus icarus</italic>
) are reported as being declined in Europe since 1990 (Van Swaay <italic>et al</italic>
., <xref rid="icad12193-bib-0065" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>
). These species may become locally vulnerable through persistent increased habitat specialisation associated with habitat disturbance; therefore, their ecology should be finely monitored in order to adopt adequate conservation plans.</p>
