Diversity and Community Structure of Dragonfly and Damselfly (Odonata) at the Selorejo Waterfall Area, Ponorogo Regency, East Java Indonesia

Abstract

Selorejo Waterfall is a natural tourism area that is quite far from downtown Ponorogo and directly adjacent to the Gunung Sigogor Nature Reserve. Hence, this area has the potential as a natural habitat for dragonfly and damselfly. The presence of dragonfly and damselfly species is determined by the type of habitat, canopy conditions, vegetation diversity, and the microclimate that exists in a location. This study aimed to determine the diversity of dragonfly and damselfly and to determine the community structure of dragonflies in Selorejo Waterfall. The sampling method was Visual Day Flying. The results of research conducted in two streams showed that there were 12 species from 6 families with a total of 230 individuals. The value of species diversity at this location is H '= 2.05. In the community structure at the Selorejo Waterfall dragonfly, there are differences in the number of species and individuals in the two streams in Selorejo Waterfall Area. The large stream, eight species from four families, 151 individuals in total. Meanwhile, in small stream, there were nine species from six families, 79 individuals in total. The differences in the number of species and individual dragonflies in the two streams at Selorejo Waterfall can be used to describe the diversity and structure of the Odonata community in the area.

Composition and Diversity of Dragonflies (Odonata) in Several Habitat Types in Lumajang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia

“…C. membranipes was found perched on fairly dense riparian vegetation with closed to slightly open canopy conditions. Susanto and Zulaikha (2021), are also founded C. membranipes in waters with fairly dense riparian vegetation and closed canopy conditions.…”

“…Sigogor and Mt. Picis, Ponorogo Regency, which was carried out in different habitat types, namely the forest-dominated area and open area (Pranoto et al 2019), diversity of dragonflies (Odonata) in various types of habitat, namely in ponds, reservoirs, rivers, and rice fields in Lakarsantri district, Surabaya (Susanto et al 2023), Odonata diversity and composition using the ArcGIS in springs, waterfalls, and river habitats in Malang and Batu, East Java (Albab et al 2019), and diversity and community structure of Odonata in large river and small stream habitats in the Selorejo waterfall area, Ponorogo (Susanto & Zulaikha 2021). Research on dragonflies in Lumajang has been conducted by Abdillah (2020), on several rivers in the Pasrujambe district, and Susanto and Abdillah (2019), who conducted research on Zygoptera diversity in lakes and rivers in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS).…”

Community structure of dragonfly (insecta: Odonata) in pond habitat at Sumur Panguripan Cultural Reserve, Surabaya, Indonesia

“…The dense canopy and the number of trees on the edge of the Canopied Pond cause the increase in air temperature, and the intensity of the sunlight cannot reflect the air, so the humidity value in this location has a higher value. Meanwhile, the absence of a canopy in non-canopied ponds increases light intensity and air temperature [34]. The canopied Pond is a pond habitat with a length of ± 7 m and a width of ± 3 m (Figure 4-A).…”

Inventarisasi dan Studi Komposisi Capung (Odonata) pada Area Persawahan Kelurahan Warugunung, Surabaya, Jawa Timur

“…Hal ini dikarenakan vegetasi pada permukaan atau badan air digunakan capung sebagai tempat untuk meletakkan telur Inventarisasi dan Studi Komposisi Capung (Odonata) pada Area Persawahan Kelurahan Warugunung, Surabaya, Jawa Timur (Nugrahani et al, 2014), berjemur dan bertengger (Silva et al, 2010;Remsburg, 2008). Sedangkan pada capung fase larva digunakan untuk berlindung dari predator (Susanto & Zulaikha, 2021). Pada lokasi kolam vegetasi terdapat 13 spesies dari dua famili (Gambar 2) dengan total 66 individu.…”
