Summary

Herbicide treatments were applied to Zerene silverspot (Speyeria = Argynnis zerene zerene) post-diapause larvae and early blue violets (Viola adunca), the larval host plant of the Zerene silverspot butterfly, in two greenhouse experiments in 2018-2019. Treatments included distilled water for untreated (U), Agri-Dex (A), Nu Film IR (N), clopyralid (C), clopyralid with Agri-Dex (CA), clopyralid with Nu Film IR (CN), fluazifop-p-butyl (F), fluazifop-p-butyl with Agri-Dex (FA), and fluazifop-p-butyl with Nu Film IR (FN). Zerene silverspot responses measured in the 2018 experiment included larval and pupal survival, sex ratio, larval and pupal development time, pupal and adult mass, adult morphology, female fecundity, and offspring survival [...]

Purpose

Data were collected to understand Zerene silverspot butterfly and early blue violet responses to herbicide treatments. Data were analyzed to assess the direct non-target effects of herbicide treatments on the Zerene silverspot, which is a suitable surrogate subspecies for the federally threatened Oregon silverspot butterfly (S. z. hippolyta).
