Abstract [en]

Not much is known if butterflies can get affected by wind turbines. There are different possibilities how they can affect butterflies. How high the risk is that they can get killed by wind turbines and that butterflies might loose habitats by constructions. But there can also be factors that indirectly makes butterflies thrive better in wind farms. More road edges giving the butterflies resources of nectar from herbal plants growing next to the roads is one of them. This study examines if the distance from wind turbines can affect butterflies density and species diversity within and close to the Windfarm of Örbacken. In total 504 individuals of butterflies of 18 species got recorded within distance of 0-1km from wind turbines for three days. Within the distance of 200-500m from wind turbines 228 individuals of 12 species were recorded and had the highest mid value recorded of both the amount species and individuals. There was significance on the number of species being located within areas 200-500m away from wind turbinesand 0-200m from wind turbines. This suggests that the 200-500m areas from these wind turbines that were within the windfarm, may have a higher species diversity of butterflies. The species diversity of butterflies can possibly be affected by less nectar plants and shelter from the wind in areas close to wind turbines compared to areas 200-500m away from them.
