“…However, despite these numbers, the group is less represented in this study. The result aligns with the findings of Sundufu and Dumbuya (2008), Nacua (2016), Koneri et al (2019), , with studies conducted from the tropical forests of Africa, Philippines and Indonesia, accordingly. However, the overall generalization on this faunistic observation could not be fully drawn due to limited sample size and effort as compared with other rigorous studies that lasted for months and even years like the studies of Ballentes et al (2006), Mohagan and Treadway (2010), Mohagan et al (2011), andAnsari et al (2015).…”

“…With this, considering that an approximate 90% of the butterfly species are found in the tropical regions (Bonebrake et al, 2010;Munyuli, 2013), and giving the fact that the study site is a tropical forest, the narrative on nymphalids high global diversity and wide distribution could be plausible support. The observation is agreed by various studies (Guadalquiver et al, 2019;Koneri et al, 2019;Sebua & Nuñeza, 2020) wherein nymphalids are the documented dominant group in most habitats. Secondly, relative to foraging behavior, nymphalids are considered voracious eaters that feed on various types of plants, especially at their larval stage; thus, making them more adaptive to different habitats (Qureshi & Bhagat, 2015).…”

The province of Surigao del Sur is among the areas in the Philippines with limited wildlife studies, especially on lepidopteran fauna. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the butterfly congregation and diversity in Gamut and Mat-e, areas which are underexplored for lepidopteran surveys. It also aimed to assess the conservation and ecological status of the species. Sweep netting for a total of 196 person-hours was carried out to document the species. The results revealed a total of 29 species belonging to four families. Among the families, Nymphalidae was the most represented, comprising 48% of the total richness. The species Gandaca harina mindanaensis and Junonia hedonia ida were the most dominant in both sites representing 12% (each) of the total population. Species richness and diversity (H’) were relatively higher in Mat-e (n=22; H’=1.22) than in Gamut (n=15; H’=1.00). The total endemicity was 31%, but higher endemism was observed in Mat-e (36%) compared with Gamut (20%). The noteworthy findings are the listing of the nationally and globally assessed as rare species (Acrophtalmia leto ochine and Jamides celeno), but were locally assessed as common in Mat-e. One recorded butterfly (Atrophaneura semperi aphtonia) was assessed to be a threatened species. Based on the results, the two habitats showed a poor representation of butterfly assemblage, however, these results are highly affected by the limitations of the observation. Thus, it is recommended that an intensive study on butterflies in the area should be considered.

“…Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) between environmental factors (independent variables) and sampling locations (dependent variable) was carried out to determine the relationship between them, using the Paleontological Statistics software (PAST software v. 2.12) (Cuartas-Hernández and Gómez-Murillo 2015). In addition, the statistical analysis used was the Statistics program version 6, one-way Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test at the 95% confidence level (Koneri et al 2019;Ajerrar et al 2020). This was used to analyze the differences in abundance, species richness, species diversity values and species evenness in each habitat type.…”

Abstract. Koneri R, Nangoy MJ, Wakhid. 2021. Richness and diversity of insect pollinators in various habitats around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 288-297. The pollination of plants by insects is one of the most important and essential ecosystem services in natural and agricultural landscapes and Insect pollinators play an important role in this process. This is because they help to transfer pollen from the anther to the stigma, which leads to fertilization. This study aims to analyze the richness and diversity of insect pollinators in various habitats around the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Toraut, North Sulawesi. It was carried out from June to August 2020 on three types of habitats around the National Park, namely forest edges, shrubs and agricultural land. For each habitat, four plots with a size of 50 m x 25 m were made with a distance of 100 m between them. The insect pollinator observation technique used was the scan sampling method. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out on abundance, richness index, diversity index, species evenness index, dominance index and the relationship between sampling locations and environmental factors. The results showed that there were 979 insect pollinators caught at the observation point, which consisted of 60 species from 16 families and 4 orders and the most common order was Hymenoptera with 31 species. The species which were found based on their relative abundance indicated that Nomia strigata was the most abundant followed by Nomia melanderi, Apis dorsata, Ropalidia fasciata and Amegilla zonata. Furthermore, the highest abundance of insect pollinators was found in shrub habitats, while the highest species richness and diversity were found at the forest edge. Therefore, it was concluded that different types of habitat affect the richness and diversity of insect pollinator species around the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park. In addition, this proves that the forest area of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park generally supports the abundance, richness, and diversity of insect pollinators, which were discovered in the surrounding habitats, namely shrubs and agricultural land.

“…After all, they are polyphagous (having more than one type of host plant). The Nymphalidae family's abundant existence can also be caused by the large availability of food sources in their habitat and also its ability to adapt (Majumder et al 2003;Widhiono 2015;Koneri et al 2019). Butterflies have different habitat specifications from general to specific (Putri 2016).…”

Int. J. Oil Palm

Currently the expansion of oil palm is increasing, which at the same time creates a lot of negative responses related to environmental impacts, biodiversity loss, including birds and butterflies species diversity. Nowadays our understanding of the impacts of oil palm plantations is still based on the claim that oil palm plantations are established on primary forest land. The study aimed to estimate the impact of land cover changes, loss of biodiversity, and possible cohabitation between birds and butterflies based on baseline land type before oil palm plantation. The research was conducted at PT Tempirai Palm Resources, to be precise, in the baseline area (shrubs) and plantation areas planted with oil palm using direct and indirect observation methods. Based on research, it was known that land conversion to oil palm plantations caused changes in the number of species, and the diversity of birds and butterflies. The number of bird species in the baseline area was higher (S = 22 species, H ‘= 2.51) than in the plantation area. The number of butterfly species in the baseline area was less (0 species) than in the oil palm plantation area (5 species, H ‘= 1.56, Dmg = 2.23). In general, the increase in bird species’ biodiversity was higher (59.09%) compared to the loss. In contrast, the butterfly species was not lost. A cohabitation also occurred between birds and butterflies at the site. The study concluded that oil palm plantation not only have a negative impact but also a positive impact for biodiversity especially for bird and butterfly.
