Abstract. Miharja J, Atmowidi T, Priawandiputra W, Perwitasari D, Kahono S. 2024. Species richness and nest entrance characteristics of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) in Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 4961-4970. Stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponinae) are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP), a conservation area of flora and fauna in the western part of Java, was designated by UNESCO in 1992 as a Natural World Heritage site. This study measured the species richness, nesting site, and nest-entrance characteristics of stingless bees in UKNP. Samplings of stingless bees were conducted by road sampling and based on the information from officers of UKNP and the local communities from June to December 2023. Results showed that 163 colonies of stingless bees were found belonging to four species, i,e., Tetragonula laeviceps, Tetragonula fuscobalteata, Heterotrigona itama, and Lepidotrigona terminata. Based on the number of colonies, L. terminata was the most dominant (44%), followed by T. laeviceps (41%), T. fuscobalteata (12%), and H. itama (3%), respectively. The nest of T. laeviceps was found in residential house cavities, bamboo and tree holes, and old and abandoned ant nests, showcasing their adaptability and resourcefulness. Meanwhile, the nest of T. fuscobalteata was found in the rock holes and tree cavities; L. terminata and H. itama nests were found in tree cavities. The unique nest entrance characteristics of each species further highlight their fascinating adaptability. This study showed a new distribution record of stingless bees in Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten, Indonesia.

Abstract. Maulidia S, Atmowidi T, Wirawati I, Priawandiputra W. 2025. Comparison of brittle star (Echinoderm: Ophiuroidea) diversity and species composition between two substrates in the intertidal zone. Biodiversitas 26: 2189-2197. Brittle stars are essential species in marine ecosystems. These macrozoobenthic organisms help clean the sea of organic particles and serve as food for demersal fish. However, further research on brittle stars in the intertidal zone of West Java, Indonesia is needed, particularly on two different substrates: seagrass and coral. This study examined the diversity and composition of brittle stars in the intertidal zone of West Java at Ujung Genteng Beach, Sancang Beach, and Pangandaran Beach. The quadrant transect method was used for sampling, with 30 plots at each station on each beach. Each plot measured 2×2 m, with a distance of at least 2 m between plots. We identified 12 species of brittle stars. Ophiocoma erinaceus and O. scolopendrina were found at all sampling locations, with O. scolopendrina is the highest abundance. A species previously unreported in Indonesia, O. anaglyptica, was found on coral substrates, and Ophiactis savignyi, a fissiparous brittle star that reproduces asexually, was found at Pangandaran on seagrass substrates. Pangandaran Beach exhibited the highest diversity (H': 1.4), with corals being the most important substrate for brittle star habitat. In contrast, the highest Evenness Index was found at Sancang Beach with seagrass substrates (E: 0.89). This indicates that brittle stars are most abundant at Pangandaran Beach but were more evenly distributed at Sancang Beach.

Abstract

Stingless bees of the genus Lepidotrigona are difficult to distinguish morphologically due to their similar external characteristics. This study aims to characterize the morphological, morphometric, and nest entrance structures of Lepidotrigona collected from Sibolga, North Sumatra. The methods used in this research are qualitative and quantitative. The study was conducted at the Biosystematics and Animal Ecology Laboratory, IPB University. Identification of stingless bees based on morphological and morphometric characters of the head, thorax, wings, legs, and abdomen. The nest entrance character is described of the shape, texture, and color of the nest. Results showed that the morphometric measurements of the Lepidotrigona worker bees had 5.13±0.254 mm body length, 0.80±0.223 mm mandible length, and 0.29±0.013 mm mandible width. The mesoscutum was black with short and yellow hair were observed on the edge of mesoscutellum. On the lateral side of thorax exist pale-yellow hairs. The length of fore wings from tegula was 5.39±0.125 mm, the distance between the venations (M-Cu) bifurcation and basal tip of the marginal cell was 1.55±0.023 mm, and the number of hammuli in the hind wing is six. The hind tibia was black-brownish with long hair on the edges. The length of tibia was 1.67±0.399 mm, and tibia width was 0.72±0.025 mm. The dorsal abdomen had 4-5 tergits and the first tergit was yellow with two black spots. The nest entrance of Lepidotrigona colony was characterized by round-like funnel with a diameter of 16,2 mm and a length of 102 mm. The nest entrance is funnel-shaped and light brown in color with a soft and sticky texture. Based on the morphological, morphometric and nest entrance characteristics of the genus Lepidotrigona, it is closer to species of Lepidotrigona terminata.

Abstract

As oil palm plantations continue to grow and become a mainstay commodity in Indonesia,unfortunately, this also has an environmental impact that can threaten bird communities. On the otherhand, the agroforest system is considered to be able to preserve the richness of bird species comparedto other monoculture plantations. This study analyzes how bird communities' response in oil palmplantation and agroforestry habitats is compared based on diversity, composition, species similarity,feeding guilds, and bird space use. This study was conducted at the Kebun Pendidikan Cikabayan (KPC)in the oil palm plantation area and the Taman Hutan Kampus (THK) in the IPB Dramaga campusagroforestry area, using transect, count point and vantage point methods from September to October2023. A total of 42 species belonging to 28 families were dominated by forest generalists, followed byopen habitat generalists, forest specialists, and forest edge species, 50% of which were insectivores. Thedaily activities of the dominant species in both locations showed differences between the use of spacein THK and KCP. Based on the diversity and evenness values, the THK location (H’= 2.95; E= 0.85)has a higher value than KPC (H’= 2.62; E= 0.78), although it is still in the same diversity category,namely moderate (H’= 2.5-2.9 in the moderate category). The species similarity index value also showsa species similarity of 75% between the two locations. Due to its relatively high diversity and potentialcarrying capacity for forest-dependent species in forest-agricultural landscapes, this area needs to bepreserved and its habitat quality improved planting native tree species with tall, hard stems that arefavored by hollow-nesting birds and food trees such as Ficus spp.

Abstract

Many small lakes in Bogor and surrounding areas continue to shrink by silting and land conversion that will affect the diversity of aquatic fauna species, including freshwater snails. Research on the diversity and distribution of freshwater snails was conducted in Bogor Regency (Situ Cilalay, Situ Ciriung, Situ Kabantenan) and Sukabumi (Situ Gunung) in September-November 2017. This study identified freshwater snail species, analyzed the similarity of species composition and distribution, and analyzed the influencing environmental factors. Snail sampling from each lake was carried out at three stations using 5 x 1 m2 plots. A total of 936 individual specimens from 12 stations have been collected and identified, consisting of 7 families and 12 species of freshwater snails. Filopaludina javanica dominates the population in Situ Cilalay, Situ Ciriung, and Situ Kabantenan with the presence of 417 individuals (44.5%), while Melanoides tuberculata is the most widely distributed species found in 11 of 12 stations. The presence of two species, Clea sp. found in Situ Cilalay and Polypylis kennardi found in Situ Ciriung and Situ Kabantenan, has not been reported previously.
