“…Furthermore, butterflies can be easily observed and directly identified by their wing patterns; if they cannot be identified directly, they can be caught, tagged, or photographed and released (Ren et al 2022). The study of butterfly community structure generally describes the diversity of butterflies present in a habitat in terms of abundance and how the butterfly correlates with other organisms (Adey and Loveland 2007). Studying the diversity and structure of the butterfly community worldwide is very popular, especially in Indonesia.…”

Abstract. Millah N, Leksono AS, Yanuwiadi B. 2023. Butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidae) diversity and structure community in Lumajang, East Java, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 15: 118-128. Lumajang is one of the district in East Java, Indonesia with an area of around 1,790.90 km2 with various ecosystems. Unfortunately, several ecosystems in Lumajang have been degraded, affecting biodiversity, especially butterflies. The aim of this study was to analyze the structure of butterfly communities in Lumajang and analyze the species as bioindicators. The study was conducted in 5 habitats: Village, Agriculture, City Park, Community Forest, and Conservation Forest. The butterfly sampling method in this study was an Active Visual Survey using the Transect Pollard Walk; environmental factors were also measured during the study (temperature, humidity, light intensity, wind velocity, and altitude). The butterfly diversity and the measurement of environmental factors were analyzed for correlation using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results of the study consisted of 124 species. Several were endemic species (Cyrestis lutea (Zincken, 1831), Ypthima nigricans (Snellen, 1892), Parantica albata (Zincken, 1831), Mycalesis sudra (Felder, 1867), and Pachliopta adamas (Zincken, 1831)), then protected species (Troides helena (Linnaeus, 1758), Troides cuneifera (Oberthür, 1879), and Troides amphrysus (Cramer, 1779)). The Shannon-Wienner diversity index values from highest to lowest are Community Forest (3.52), Conservation Forest (3.32), City Park (2.98), Village (2.79), and Agriculture (2.29). The results can be used as basic data and are expected to support butterfly conservation strategies in Indonesia, especially in Lumajang, East Java, Indonesia.

“…In particular, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ levels have to be maintained, and alkalinity has to be stabilized [27,53,54]. Three approaches are commonly used: the calcium reactor, the Balling method and the Kalkwasser stirrer ( Table 4).…”

“…Another possibility for stabilizing water circulation is to integrate a larger 'buffer' tank containing fish for nutrient intake and a deep-sand bed for biological filtration (Figure 1). Moreover, an algae filter with an inverse lighting regime might compensate for diurnal fluctuations of pH values [27,28].…”

Well-maintained coral-microcosm systems provide a good opportunity for performing global-change simulations under controlled conditions and allow long-term experiments while avoiding problems with natural fluctuations. However, despite rapid technical progress over the last few years in maintaining corals, microcosm experiments remain demanding and challenging. Therefore, this paper focuses on problems and opportunities associated with maintaining corals for global-change experiments, and the pitfalls associated with simulating natural and anthropogenic disturbances. We start in Section 1 with a brief assessment of the global situation of coral reefs and discuss problems and challenges associated with microcosm experiments. Section 2 covers the technical setup of coral-aquarium systems in respect to the necessary hardware and safety precautions. Section 3 provides information on coral-species selection, coral-propagation techniques, and the choice of associated fauna and flora. Problems with maintaining controlled conditions are deliberated in Section 4, including water chemistry as well as pest and disease control. The paper closes with conclusions for global-change studies in coral-microcosm systems (Section 5). As this review provides important insights into the rapidly developing field of coral-microcosm experiments, it might be of particular interest for graduate and post-graduate students in marine sciences, for global-change researchers, as well as for administrators and technicians interested in maintaining corals under fully-controlled conditions.
