Lepidoptera Survey of Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Scholtens B. 2016. Lepidoptera Survey of Great Smoky Mountains National Park
"PI conducted invenotry work of the lepidoptera, especially moths, of the park for the ATBI. Just under 900 species of moths and butterflies were known from the park before 2000. As of 2009, almost 1,000 species had been added to the park list. Debbie Matthews of the University of Florida identified a number of plume moths (Pterophoridae) collected. One of the only butterflies added to the park list during the ATBI was the olive hairstreak (Mitoura gyrynea). Individual trip lists were provided to the park and all data (over 27,000 records) have been submitted to the ATBI database. Amongst other ATBI studies related to moths, see also GRSM-00365 (bar-coding), GRSM-00094 (general ATBI lepidoptera TWiG), and GRSM-00169 and -00014 (citizen science)."
