We tested a hypothesis regarding species commonness using a database compiled by a citizen science program called “Tokyo Butterfly Monitoring.” The data used were more than 34,000 butterfly records, which were cleansed through expert check after posted by monitoring participants from 2009 to 2017. We hypothesized that butterfly species with multiple annual reproductive cycles and food plants common in city environments are more common and would have more monitoring reports. The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analysis revealed significant effects of including “cultivated plants” in the larval food menu and “multivoltinism” on the number of individual species reported, which was compatible with the hypothesis. The species with the most records (12% of all records among 90 species) was Zizeeria maha, which reproduces 5–6 times annually and relies on Oxalis corniculata, a small weed common in urban open spaces. Argyreus hyperbius, a southern species that was very rare before the 1990s, ranked third in the current data. Its major host plant is a common garden plant, the pansy, which grows in most gardens and green spaces. The data collected by the monitoring program appear to represent the status of the butterfly community in Tokyo, a megacity subjected to rapid environmental changes.

使用市民科学计划“ Tokyo Butterfly Monitoring”收集的数据测试蝴蝶共性假说

我们使用一个名为“东京蝴蝶监测”的公民科学程序编译的数据库，测试了有关物种共性的假设。使用的数据超过34,000条蝴蝶记录，这些记录经过专家检查后由2009年至2017年的监测参与者发布后进行了清理。我们假设在城市环境中常见具有多个年度繁殖周期和食用植物的蝴蝶物种更为普遍，并且将会更多监控报告。广义线性混合模型（GLMM）分析显示，将幼虫食物菜单中的“栽培植物”和“多重电压”包括在内对报告的单个物种数量具有显着影响，这与假设相符。记录最多的物种（90个物种中占所有记录的12％）是Zizeeria maha该植物每年繁殖5–6次，并依赖于Oxalis corniculata，这是一种在城市开放空间常见的杂草。在1990年代之前非常罕见的南部物种Argyreus hyperbius在当前数据中排名第三。它的主要寄主植物是常见的花园植物，三色堇，生长在大多数花园和绿色空间中。监测程序收集的数据似乎代表了东京蝴蝶社区的状况，东京是一个环境日新月异的大城市。
