Phengaris [Maculinea] arion is a textbook example of a charismatic endangered invertebrate. While surveying its distribution at the westernmost outskirts of the Carpathians (Javorniky and Vsetinske Mts.), we investigated whether occupied sites differed from unoccupied ones in the composition of vascular plants and butterfly assemblages. The occupied sites were small pastures, including abandoned ones, with S to W exposure, displaying a high microtopographic heterogeneity. Their vegetation was characteristic for non-intensive submountain pasture, butterfly assemblages were species richer, contained more specialised species, and significantly higher proportion of red-listed species. The conservation of P. arion sites thus provides umbrella for a high number of species associated with traditional land use.
