Jackknife estimates of species richness of moths (bars represent a confidence interval at 5%) at five sites in an Eucalyptus spp. plantation (residual Atlantic Forest = RF, forest edge = ED, Eucalyptus grandis stand at 200 m from the forest edge = GRA, E. grandis and Eucalyptus saligna stand at 400 m from the forest edge = GRA/SAL1, and E. grandis and E. saligna stand at 600 m from the forest edge = GRA/SAL2) in Aracruz, Southeastern Brazil.

Cluster analysis of five Lepidoptera assemblages (residual Atlantic Forest = RF, forest edge = ED, Eucalyptus grandis stand at 200 m from the forest edge = GRA, E. grandis and Eucalyptus saligna stand at 400 m from the forest edge = GRA/SAL1, and E. grandis and E. saligna stand at 600 m from the forest edge = GRA/SAL2) using Euclidean distances, in Aracruz, Southeastern Brazil.
