Abstract

Amphibians, categorized as vertebrate animals and characterized as poikilotherms, comprise three main groups known as Caudata, Gymnophiona, and Anura, with the latter commonly recognized as frogs or toads. The objective of this study is to examine the morphology and morphometrics of various frog species in Meurandeh Dayah Village, Langsa City. The research employs quantitative methods to facilitate a comparative analysis of each sample. The findings reveal the presence of six shutter species: Fejervarya cancrivora, Hylarana macrodactyia, Rana erythraea, Hylarana nicobariensis, Hyperolius horstockii, and Hylarana erythraea. The morphometric measurements conducted on these Rana species demonstrate distinctive morphological variations among them.

Abstract

Birds, or avians, are living organisms classified in the animal kingdom and share characteristic features such as a body covering of feathers that enables them to fly. Birds are also a biodiversity asset that needs to be conserved and preserved due to their significance and roles in human life. Samudra University, with its expansive grounds adorned with various trees, provides a potential habitat for birds. This research, conducted in October-November 2023, aims to explore the diversity of bird species within the Samudra University area. The study employs a quantitative descriptive method, covering four locations, Location I in the Faculty of Agriculture, Location II by the sea, Location III in the Student Building, and Location IV in the Faculty of Primary School Teacher Education. The findings reveal four avian species from four families in the Samudra University area: Passer montanus, Ardea alba, Geopelia striata, and Todirhampus chloris. The avian diversity index in that area is considered moderate.
