致病真菌影響鳳蝶存活

金鳳蝶是英國體形最大的蝴蝶,除了受到農業、氣候變化及林業的威脅外,牠們所食用的植物亦同樣面臨危機。 金鳳蝶的幼蟲以歐前胡為食,這種植物因致病真菌而大量死亡。 如果歐前胡消失,金鳳蝶也會於英國滅絕。

Swallowtail is Britains largest butterfly and they are at risk! beside threats from agriculture, climate change and forestry, their food plant is in danger because of a new disease. Its caterpillars feed only on the milk parsley plants and this plant is dying because of fungal pathogens. if the milk parsley disperse, the swallowtail will become extinct in Britain as well.
