Abstract

Mango cross-pollination can be encouraged through the presence of pollinating insects, which can be investigated and observed through citizen science activities. This study aims to monitor the presence of insect pollinators of mango (Mangifera indica L.) inflorescence through citizen science activities. The data generated in the study can be used as a reference to determine population trends and the biodiversity of mango insect pollinators. A citizen science approach in participatory research was used to collect and identify the data. A total of 68 volunteer participants from two universities in west Java were involved in this study. The participants had to meet the requirements to have contracted ecology courses. Smartphones and insect identification guidelines and databases at https://www.discoverlife.org/ and https://www.inaturalist.org/ were used as a tool in this research. The identified data were submitted via google form (www.bit.ly/csmangga) and the Inaturalist application for publication. It was discovered that mango inflorescence insect pollinators comprised five orders, 26 families, and 39 species. Diptera and Hymenoptera orders are insects that have the biggest role in mango pollination, and Chrysomya sp. is an insect species found in almost all mango cultivars.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the contribution of the Citizen Science Project (CSP) program to the species literacy of pre-service biology teachers. Using a quasi-experimental method with a Citizen Science (CS) approach, this study involved 82 participants from two campuses who were recruited voluntarily in two different projects. A total of 68 participants were involved in Project I (monitoring of insect pollinators of mango (Mangifera indica) inflorescence) and 14 participants were involved in Project II (monitoring of butterflies in citrus (Citrus amblycarpa) plantations). Species literacy test and a questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. The species literacy test consists of 14 items of species identification questions for Project I and 12 items of species identification questions for Project II. The questionnaire was used to determine the perception and evaluate the learning outcome (LO) of the CSP program. The data were analyzed statistically and described according to the research findings. The results showed that species literacy in pre-service biology teachers improved in the moderate category. Most participants perceived that the CSP program could improve knowledge, attitudes, and skills about species. The LO evaluation of the CSP program showed that the indicator of participants' interest in science and environment increased higher than the others. The program can be used as an alternative in increasing species literacy in the public.

Abstract

Citizen Science (CS) activities are currently a new trend in science gathering and research. Butterflies have an essential role as pollinator insects whose existence is currently under threat of population decline. CS activities can be a means to identify butterfly species in an area and take conservation actions. This study monitors butterfly biodiversity in lime plantations in Sindanghaji Village, Palasah District, Majalengka Regency through CS activities. This study involved (n=14) students who contracted conservation biology courses at Majalengka University. A sampling of butterflies was carried out in two areas of the lime (Citrus amblycarpa) plantation. Butterfly biodiversity data collection uses the swiping method and the total count technique. Identification of butterflies using the key of determination involves citizen scientists and comparisons on databases available at http://ftp.funet.fi/ and https://www.discoverlife.org/. The data analysis technique used quantitative methods with the help of the PAST (Paleontological statistics) application. The results showed that in garden area 1, there were 5 families, 18 genera, and 32 species with a total of 92 individuals; dominance index 0.936; the species diversity index is 3.065, the species evenness index is 0.691, and the species richness index is 6.635. As for garden 2, there are 5 families, 22 genera, and 38 species with a total of 175 individuals; dominance index 0.949; the species diversity index is 3.294, the species evenness index is 0.709, and the species richness index is 7.164. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the diversity of butterfly species in both areas is high, but no butterfly species dominates, so that the distribution is evenly distributed for each species. CS activities can be a solution in collecting, analyzing, and publishing research data on butterfly biodiversity.

Abstract

Pendidikan konservasi memiliki relevansi untuk diimplementasikan dalam kurikulum pendidika tinggi di Indonesia, hal ini tidak terlepas dari posisi Indonesia yang termasuk dalam jajaran negara megabiodiversity dan memiliki sejumlah hotspot biodiversity. Laju loss biodiversity Indonesia yang sangat tinggi mengharuskan segera mendapatkan penanganan melalui kegiatan konservasi dan membangun kesadaran secara kolektif melalui pendidikan biodiversitas. Pendidikan biodiversitas dapat dilakukan melalui jalur pendidikan formal dan informal. Pada pendidikan formal di Universitas dilakukan melalui mata kuliah seperti Biologi Konservasi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan tujuan memperoleh data empirik pengembangan program perkuliahan biologi konservasi. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui instrumen angket, wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumen. Data empirik yang diperoleh melalui kegiatan Preliminary reseach ini kemudian dianalisis dan ditafsirkan sesuai temuan penelitian. Hasil penelitian pendahuluan menemukan bahwa perkuliahan belum mengarahkan pada peningkatan literasi biodiversitas sebagai pondasi literasi konservasi pada mahasiswa. Hasil studi analisis kebutuhan perkuliahan biologi konservasi berbasis CSP memerlukan beberapa perangkat pendukung seperti RPS berbasis CSP, bahan ajar/buku/modul, toolkit, aplikasi OCS, pelatihan kegiatan CSP, pelatihan riset biodiversitas dan pelatihan keterampilan konservasi biodiversitas.
