“…Up to recently, the distribution of these two genera is still unclear and seems to overlap. But many previous cave-dwelling arthropods studies had revealed that Rhaphidophora occurred in many karst area in Java including Tuban, Gunungsewu, Cilacap, Tasikmalaya, and Ciampea (Rahmadi 2002;Rahmadi & Suhardjono 2007;Prakarsa & Ahmadin 2017;Kurniawan et al 2018a;Hasibuan & Lidiawati 2020;Hidayaturrohmah et al 2021). Overall, at least 12 species belonging to genus Rhaphidophora have been described from Java, but only two species are reported to occupy cave realm.…”

Cave crickets are considered as a keystone species that can be used as a cave ecosystem bioindicator. Developing caves as tourism has considerable potential to disturb cave cricket populations. This study aimed to investigate cave cricket population structure and their habitat preference in Sanghyang Kenit cave one year after it developed into a show cave. Data were collected through standardized visual searching in three cave zones: entrance, twilight, and dark. Besides cave crickets, other macroarthropods discovered in each zone were also recorded. Abiotic parameters of habitat comprised air and soil temperatures, RH, soil moisture, soil pH, and light intensity were measured. Data were analyzed to show cave crickets abundance, density, sex ratio, and age structure. Statistical analysis comprising Kruskal Wallis, non-metric multidimensional scaling, and correlation tests were performed. The cave cricket population in Sanghyang Kenit belonged to a single species, Rhaphidophora sp. The population was around 78-108 individuals and distributed in all cave zones. The abundance and density in twilight and dark zones were significantly higher than in the entrance. The number of males outperformed females with a 2.16 ratio. Besides, the population was dominated by the sub-adult class. Environmental parameters of twilight and dark zones tended to be similar to one another compared to the entrance. Cave crickets preferred habitats with dark, humid, and acidic soil pH. Heteropoda sp. and Catagaeus sp. were considered potential predators. This study implies the importance of protecting cave crickets in Sanghyang Kenit.

“…Ketiga kelompok ordo anggota kelas Araknida yang ditemukan, yaitu Uropygi (Kalacuka), Amblypygi (Kalacemeti), dan Aranea (laba-laba) merupakan kelompok Arthropoda yang sangat umum dijumpai di ekosistem gua baik di zona terang, remang maupun zona gelap (Kurniawan et al, 2020;Prakarsa & Ahmadin, 2017;Rahmadi, 2002;Romero, 2009). Ordo Aranea mendominasi keragaman dengan 5 morfospesies, sedangkan 2 ordo lainnya hanya menyumbang masing-masing 1 morfospesies.…”

“…Tiga morfospesies lainnya yang semuanya tergolong Aranea, yaitu Selenoscosmia sp., Ctenus sp., dan Lycosidae memiliki kelimpahan yang rendah dibandingkan morfospesies yang lainnya. Berdasarkan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya, ketiga morfospesies ini relatif lebih jarang dijumpai di ekosistem gua dibandingkan morfospesiesmorfospesies yang sebelumnya (Hidayaturrohmah et al, 2021;Prakarsa & Ahmadin, 2017;Rahmadi & Suhardjono, 2007). Apabila hadir di suatu gua, ketiganya memiliki jumlah individu yang sangat bervariasi (Kurniawan et al, 2018a;Rahmadi, 2008).…”

AbstrakAraknida merupakan kelompok fauna yang umum dijumpai di gua dan berperan penting menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem gua. Kelompok fauna ini dapat ditemukan di seluruh zona gua baik terang, remang, maupun gelap. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan araknida berdasarkan zonasi gua. Pengambilan data dilakukan di 3 gua yang terletak di kawasan Karst Tasikmalaya, yaitu Gua Sarongge, Liang Boeh, dan Liang Seungit. Pencuplikan araknida dilakukan dengan teknik hand collecting, sedangkan penghitungan individu dengan direct counting. Selain itu, dilakukan pengukuran parameter abiotik yang terdiri dari suhu udara, suhu tanah, kelembapan udara, kelembapan tanah, dan intensitas cahaya. Data dianalisis dengan uji indeks similaritas Jaccard, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis, dan Canonical correlation analysis. Terdapat 311 individu araknida tergolong dalam 3 ordo dan 7 morfospesies yang berhasil dikoleksi. Mayoritas araknida tergolong kategori adaptasi troglofil. Terdapat kemiripan komposisi spesies yang tinggi antara zona remang dan gelap (indeks similaritas 0,833) dibandingkan kemiripan keduanya dengan zona terang (0,571 dan 0,429). Kelimpahan individu araknida antar zona tidak berbeda secara signifikan. Mayoritas spesies memiliki preferensi habitat dengan kondisi intensitas cahaya rendah dan kelembapan tinggi.AbstractArachnid is one of the cave-adapted fauna with diverse cave representatives and plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance. This group is widely distributed in all cave zonation, namely entrance, twilight, and dark zones. This study aimed to reveal the difference in diversity and abundance of arachnids in different caves zonation. The study was carried out in three caves situated in Tasikmalaya karst region, namely Sarongge, Liang Boeh, and Seungit. Arachnids were sampled through hand collecting, while abundance was estimated through direct counting. Air and soil temperatures, relative humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity were also measured. Data were analysed through Jaccard’s similarity index, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis, and CCA. In total, 311 individuals belonged to 3 orders and 7 morphospecies were identified. Most observed morphospecies were categorized as troglophiles. There was a great degree of similarity in species composition between twilight and dark zones (similarity 0.833) compared to entrance zone (0.571 and 0.429, respectively). Meanwhile, abundance was relatively similar. Most species prefer habitats with low light intensity but high humidity.

“…Karst biodiversity is divided into biodiversity based on the surface (exokarst) and below the surface (endokarst), also known as caves. Organisms in caves are grouped into terrestrial and aquatic organisms (Prakarsa and Ahmadin 2017). Caves in karst areas are home to various fauna communities such as bat communities (Wijayanti et al 2010;Wijayanti and Maryanto 2017).…”

Abstract. Aprilia D, Arifiani KN, Sani MF, Jumari, Wijayanti F, Setyawan AD. 2021. Review: A descriptive study of karst conditions and problems in Indonesia and the role of karst for flora, fauna, and humans. Intl J Trop Drylands 5: 61-74. The karst area in Indonesia covers an area of about 15.4 million hectares and is spread almost throughout Indonesia. It is estimated the age of karst in Indonesia started from 470 million years ago to the most recent about 700,000 years. The existence of this area shows that many of the Indonesian islands were once seabed but were later uplifted and hardened. Most of the karst areas in Indonesia are composed of carbonate rocks, and almost none are composed of other rocks such as gypsum, salt rock, and evaporite rocks. Karst in Indonesia can be classified based on its development and climate. The amount of water available in the karst area plays an important role in human life and so do flora and fauna around the karst area. The karst area functions as an ecosystem for the habitat of various animals and plants. The richness of flora and fauna of this karst area is extraordinary. Karst area plays an important role in economy, science, and human culture. In addition, karst areas have an important role in the ecosystem, such as providing clean water, limestone-based natural materials, and controlling climate change. Its role in ecological function is that karst areas can also be a source of CO2 gas absorption. About 9.5% (155,000 km2) of the total karst area of Indonesia was damaged due to limestone mining activities, logging of vegetation, and land conversion. Given the importance of karst and limestone ecosystems as non-renewable natural resources, it is necessary to do conservation to maintain the ecological function. Steps that can be taken for conservation efforts in karst areas include limiting the sale of raw limestone to outside the area, clarifying protected areas and cultivation areas, socializing the importance of preserving karst areas, providing skills or developing other business opportunities, and reclaiming used land and mining according to the level and type of damage. This study aims to describe the geographical conditions and karst problems in Indonesia so that the conservation measures taken are known and identify the role of the karst area for flora, fauna, and humans.
