Keanekaragaman Kupu-kupu (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) di Desa Pulau Panas Kecamatan Tanjung Sakti Pumi, Lahat, Sumatera Selatan.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the diversity of butterflies in protected forest of Pulau Panas Village, Tanjung Sakti Pumi, Lahat, South Sumatra. The research was conducted in October -November 2020. The research sites were three different types of habitat, namely primary forest, riverbanks, and transitional or ecotone area of forests and plantations. Data collection uses exploration or roaming techniques following a 300-meter-long path with a width of 2 m to the right and 2 m to left in each habitat type using insect nets. The results obtained 61 species of butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) belonging to 5 families (8 species of Papilionidae, 11 species of Pieridae, 33 species of Nymphalidae, 3 species of Hesperiidae and 6 species of Lycaenidae). The highest diversity (Shannon index) is in primary forest habitat with H'= 3.67; followed by transitiononal forest and plantation areas with H' = 3.62, while the lowest diversity index is riverbanks with H'= 3.24. The evennes index of the species is almost the same (E>0.9). The highest species richness was found in primary forest (Dmg: 9.75). Protected butterfly species (according to the Decree of Ministry of Environment and Forestry No. 106 year 2018) found in this study is Troides helena.

Inventarisasi Kupu-Kupu (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) di Suaka Margasatwa Paliyan, Gunung Kidul

“…Kupu-kupu merupakan salah satu fauna Indonesia yang melimpah. Jumlah kupu-kupu di dunia mencapai 20.000 spesies (Sumiati et al, 2018), dimana 2000 spesies diantaranya tersebar di Indonesia, beberapa termasuk spesies dilindungi dan termasuk dalam daftar merah IUCN (Nikmah et al, 2021). Proses daftar merah ini penting sebagai standar resiko kepunahan dan sering dijadikan sebagai titik awal inisiasi konservasi (Fox et al, 2019).…”

“…Kegiatan konservasi kupu-kupu diperlukan karena keanekaragaman kupu-kupu yang terancam kepunahan, salah satu penyebabnya karena konversi hutan. Sehingga, korelasi antara keanekaragaman kupu-kupu dan kondisi habitatnya berbanding lurus (Nikmah et al, 2021). Suaka margasatwa merupakan lokasii yang lingkungannya masih terjaga alami sehingga dapat meminimalisir aktivitas konversi hutan (Zulaikha & Bahri, 2021).…”
