Abstract

Tropical forest ecosystems are home to diverse insect communities that play essential ecological roles, including pollination, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Among the key forest plants, rattan (Arecaceae) provides both ecological and economic benefits and serves as an important microhabitat for various insect species. This study aimed to identify and analyze the diversity of insect species associated with natural rattan habitats in Namo Village, Kulawi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Insect sampling was carried out using sweep nets, pitfall traps, and yellow pan traps along rattan-dominated forest transects. A total of 125 individual insects were collected, representing 7 orders, 28 families, and 37 species. The order Hymenoptera showed the highest abundance (41.6%), dominated by Formicidae and Apidae families, followed by Coleoptera (25.6%) and Diptera (17.6%). The Shannon–Wiener Diversity Index (H’ = 2.84) indicated moderate species diversity with high evenness (E = 0.83). Functionally, the insect community consisted of pollinators (38.2%), herbivores (25.4%), decomposers (19.6%), and predators (16.8%). These findings demonstrate that natural rattan ecosystems support diverse and functionally balanced insect assemblages, reflecting stable ecological conditions and minimal anthropogenic disturbance. Conserving natural rattan stands is therefore crucial for maintaining biodiversity and sustaining ecological functions such as pollination and decomposition within tropical forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Students frequently encounter complex and sometimes misleading climate change information on social media, yet their ability to reason scientifically and evaluate sources remains limited. This study investigates how junior high school students engage in abductive reasoning to interpret such information through the lens of scientific information literacy. A qualitative case study involving eighth-grade students in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, was conducted using think-aloud interviews, where students analyzed climate change–related social media posts. Thematic analysis mapped reasoning patterns across the exploration, examination, selection, and explanation stages. Findings show that students identified explicit scientific information, but their abductive reasoning was dominated by intuitive, experience-based responses rather than evidence-based reasoning. Their scientific information literacy was limited to basic access and personal verification, while skills in evaluating credibility and disseminating valid information were underdeveloped. The study proposes a conceptual model integrating five dimensions of information literacy with four stages of abductive reasoning to explain how students construct their understanding of climate change. Strengthening literacy can guide reasoning from intuitive to evidence-based explanations. Practically, the findings offer insights for educators and policymakers to design science learning strategies that integrate reasoning and literacy development in digital contexts.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Rattan, a valuable resource for both industry and local food, is evaluated for its nutritional content in this study. The research explores its potential as a learning resource based on local wisdom in Sibado Village, Sirenja District, aiming to raise awareness and promote sustainable use within the community. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research approach was used, involving proximate analysis to measure (Soxhlet method), protein (spectrophotometric method), water (thermogravimetric method), ash (dryashing method), and carbohydrates (proximate method) of rattan shoots. Data were collected from Sibado Village and analyzed in the Chemistry Laboratory of Tadulako University, Palu. An e-pocket book was developed as a learning resource. Main Findings: The results of the study obtained an average fat content of 0.332%, protein content of 2.110% and carbohydrate content of 6.082%. The results of the study were integrated as a learning resource in the form of a local wisdom-based pocket book that had been validated by content experts, design experts, media experts and students with an average value of 81.7%, meaning it is very suitable for use as a learning resource. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first to combine nutritional analysis of Daemonorops robusta with the development of a local wisdom-based educational tool, bridging scientific data and pedagogy to enhance biodiversity awareness, cultural relevance, and contextualized learning in formal education.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the community structure of fiddler crabs (Uca) in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village, South Banawa District, Donggala Regency, and to utilize the research findings as instructional media in the form of a flipbook. This ecological study employed a quantitative descriptive approach based on community structure analysis, with samples collected using purposive sampling. The parameters analyzed included species composition, density, the Shannon–Wiener diversity index, the Simpson dominance index, and the evenness index, along with environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, pH, and substrate type. The results showed that the fiddler crab community in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village consisted of five species, namely Uca annulipes, Uca lactea, Uca forcipata, Uca tetragonon, and Uca dussumieri. Abundance varied across sampling stations, and the overall diversity level was classified as low to moderate. The occurrence frequency of these five fiddler crab species was very low. The recorded densities were 6 ind/m² for Uca annulipes, 3 ind/m² for Uca lactea, 5 ind/m² for Uca forcipata, 7 ind/m² for Uca tetragonon, and 3 ind/m² for Uca dussumieri, with a low dominance index. The environmental physicochemical conditions recorded for fiddler crab habitat were a temperature of 30°C, water pH of 8.25, salinity of 31, and a muddy substrate type. Overall, the fiddler crab community structure in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village was relatively stable, characterized by low to moderate diversity, low dominance, and a clumped distribution pattern influenced by substrate conditions and mangrove density.
