Keanekaragaman Jenis Kupu-Kupu (Rhopalocera: Papilionoidea dan Hesperioidea) di Kawasan Cagar Alam Gunung Sigogor Kecamatan Ngebel, Kabupaten Ponorogo

Abstract

Penelitian mengenai keanekaragaman jenis kupu-kupu memang telah banyak dilakukan di Indonesia terutama di wilayah Jawa Timur, namun belum mancangkupi seluruh daerah khususnya pada kawasan Cagar Alam Gunung Sigogor, Kecamatan Ngebel, Kabupaten Ponorogo yang merupakan kawasan konservasi. Penelitian dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis kupu-kupu. Pemilihan lokasi penelitian disesuaikan dengan perbedaan komposisi vegetasi, habitat, posisi aliran air dan kemudahan akses. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu Visual Encounter Survey dan dianalisis menggunakan Indeks Shannon-Wiener. Jumlah spesies yang didapat sebanyak 45 spesies dari 5 famili 321 individu dengan nilai H’ = 2.42 sehingga dapat mendeskripsikan kualitas lingkungan pada kawasan Cagar Alam Gunung Sigogor

Diversity and Community Structure of Butterly in Teijsmann and Soedjana Kassan Park, Bogor Botanical Garden

“…According to [25] and [26], the air temperature that supports butterfly life is in the range of 25-41°C with an optimum temperature of 28-35°C. Meanwhile, the humidity preferred by butterflies ranges from 54-94% [4], [6]. The wind speed on the observation day was very low, ranging from 0-1 m/s (Table 2).…”

“…Most of all, insects, especially butterflies, provide many benefits in terms of environment, economic value, ecology, aesthetics, education, conservation, and culture. That is the reason why butterfly diversity needs to be preserved [4][5][6]. According to [7], ecologically butterflies contribute to maintaining ecosystems, because they are sensitive to changes in habitat and population density, so their existence can be used as bioindicator of environmental quality.…”
