Data collected was used to quntify community composition and abundance results for 6 habitats on OSMP lands.The Colorado Front Range is well-known and well-documented for its biological diversity including numerous species of butterflies. Aprroximately 176 resident or regular colonist species have been documented in this region, representing the fourth richest butterfly region in the United States. Butterflies are considered an indicator species.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Line transects are used when you wish to illustrate a particular gradient or linear pattern along which communities of plants and, or animals change. They provide a good way of being able to clearly visualise the changes taking place along the line. A line transect tells you what is there, but gives limited information on how much of it is present.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
