Abstract-Diversity and abundance of Gastropods were determined in seven sampling sites in Bukidnon, Philippines: Maapag, Matay, and Tigua rivers and Lakes Napalit, Apo, and Pulangui for a period of one year from June 2011-May 2012. Pulangui Lake is a manmade impoundment while all the other sites are natural formations. Sampling was done in a 100m × 3m belt transect and gastropods were collected within the belt transect by hand picking and sieving. Seven species representing 5 families were collected. Shannon-Weiner index shows that the highest diversity is in Tigua river (H'= 0.518) and lowest is in Pulangui lake (H'=0.144). Tigua River has also the most abundant gastropod species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
