VAN STRIEN ([dagger]), DIRK MAES ([double dagger]**), CHRIS A. M. VAN SWAAY (s.**) Keywords: biodiversity; butterflies; habitat generalist; habitat specialist; intensive land use; species abundance; species distribution; species richness Abstract: Abstract: Analyses of species' population losses typically show a dichotomy between strongly affected, rare, and localized species and apparently unaffected, common, and widespread species. We analyzed 16 years (1992-2007) of butterfly transect count data from The Netherlands in a reevaluation of the trends of common, widespread species. Fifty-five percent (11 of 20 species) of these species suffered severe declines in distribution and abundance. Overall, cumulative butterfly abundance declined by around 30%. Some of the species in decline used to be omnipresent in gardens and parks, and 2 of the species were previously considered agricultural pests. Based on their declines over the last 16 years, 2 of the 20 species (Lasiommata megera and Gonepteryx rhamni) reached endangered status in The Netherlands under the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) population-decline criterion, and 2 species (Inachis io and Thymelicus lineola) met vulnerable criterion. Butterflies in farmland, urban, and particularly woodland areas showed the largest decline in species abundance. The abundance of species associated with vegetation types found mainly in nature reserves (dunes, heathland, and, to a lesser extent, seminatural grassland) increased or remained stable. The decline of widespread species requires additional conservation strategies in the wider landscape. Abstract (Spanish): Declinaciones en Mariposas Comunes, con Distribucion Amplia, en un Paisaje Bajo Uso Humano Intenso Resumen: Los analisis de perdidas de poblaciones tipicamente muestran una dicotomia entre especies fuertemente afectadas, raras y localizadas y especies aparentemente no afectadas, comunes y con distribucion amplia. Analizamos datos de 16 anos (1992-2007) de conteos de mariposas en transectos en Holanda en una reevaluacion de las tendencias de especies comunes, con distribucion amplia. Cincuenta y cinco porciento (11 de 20 especies) de estas especies sufrieron declinaciones severas en distribucion y abundancia. En general, la abundancia acumulativa declino alrededor de 30%. Algunas de las especies en declinacion anteriormente eran omnipresentes en jardines y parques, y dos de las especies previamente eran consideradas plagas agricolas. Con base en sus declinaciones en los ultimos 16 anos, dos de las 20 especies (Lasiommata megera y Gonepteryx rhamni) alcanzaron el estatus en peligro de acuerdo con el criterio de declinacion poblacional de la IUCN (Union Internacional para la Consevacion de la Naturaleza), y dos especies (Inachis io y Thymelicus lineola) cumplieron con el criterio de vulnerabilidad. Las mariposas en areas agricolas, urbanas y particularmente en bosques mostraron la mayor declinacion en abundancia de especies. La abundancia de especies asociada con tipos de vegetacion encontrados principalmente en reservas naturales (dunas, matorrales, y, en menor grado, pastizal seminatural) incremento o permanecio estable. La declinacion de especies con distribucion amplia requiere estrategias de conservacion adicionales en la amplitud del paisaje.
