Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the diversity of butterfly species as a potential object for ecotourism development in the TWA Suranadi and to develop an animal ecology e-module. This research is a descriptive exploratory study. Data collection was conducted using survey techniques, and samples were taken using Purposive Random Sampling by dividing the TWA Suranadi area into four transects (water transect, left transect, middle transect, and right transect). Butterfly collection was carried out using the sweeping technique implemented randomly. The development of the animal ecology module was designed using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The Develop phase was limited to expert validation to assess the content validity and construct validity of the animal ecology e-module. The results showed that butterfly diversity varied across the observation transects. The Middle Transect dominated with a high distribution percentage of 56.25%, followed by the Water Transect at 23.43%, the Left Transect at 15.62%, and the Right Transect with the lowest distribution percentage at 4.7%. Ecological analysis results indicated a species diversity index across the four research locations ranging at 2.341 (Moderate Diversity), an evenness index ranging from 0.152 (Low Evenness), and a dominance index of 0.108 (Low Dominance). Expert validation results showed that the content validity of the animal ecology e-module had an index of 0.880, categorized as very valid, while the construct validity, which included the feasibility of presentation, had an index of 0.902, categorized as very valid, and the feasibility of language aspect averaged at 0.770, categorized as valid.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the morphological and growth characteristics of Eisenia foetida in response to mushroom waste media. Two types of mushroom waste media were used: straw mushroom media waste and oyster mushroom baglog waste. The research design was experimental, using quantitative methods and descriptive statistical analysis. The study observed parameters such as body length, body weight, skin color, population, and biomass of Eisenia foetida. The results showed significant differences in the growth and morphological characteristics of Eisenia foetida among the various media treatments. The oyster mushroom waste media with higher composition (80%) yielded better growth in terms of body weight and biomass compared to the straw mushroom waste media. Specifically, the treatment with 80% oyster mushroom waste and 20% straw mushroom waste (P3) showed the highest average body weight (17.13 g).  In conclusion, mushroom media waste, especially oyster mushroom baglog waste, supports the optimal morphological development and growth of Eisenia foetida. These findings suggest that oyster mushroom waste can be effectively utilized as a medium for cultivating Eisenia foetida, providing an environmentally friendly solution to organic waste management. Recommendations for future research include exploring other types of organic waste as potential media for Eisenia foetida cultivation and conducting long-term studies to evaluate the sustainability of such media.

Abstract

Tradisi Pedak Api merupakan salah satu etnosains yang memiliki nilai kearifan lokal yang kaya akan sumber pengetahuan sains tradisional, yang dapat diintegrasikan dalam proses pembelajaran. Integrasi pengetahuan sains tradisional ini ke dalam kegiatan pembelajaran Biologi belum banyak dilaporkan. Salah satu alasan belum banyaknya pemanfaatan sains dalam masyarakat pada pembelajaran adalah kesulitan guru dalam mengidentifikasi konsep-konsep Biologi dari pengetahuan asli masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merekonstruksi konsep-konsep Biologi yang berasal dari pengetahuan asli dalam tradisi Pedaq Api masyarakat Narmada. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif mengenai pengetahuan asli tradisi Pedaq Api yang dilakukan di wilayah Desa Selat, Narmada, Lombok Barat. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep-konsep Biologi yang diidentifikasi dalam tradisi Pedaq Api mencakup konsep perpindahan panas dari lingkungan ke tubuh bayi secara radiasi, yang diatur oleh system pengatur suhu tubuh (hypothalamus) yang terkait dengan konsep homeostasis pada mekanisme termoregulasi tubuh, kemudian konsep vasokonstriksi dan vasodilatasi pembuluh darah, serta pemanfaatan aromatik tumbuhan sebagai obat tradisional. Hasil dari penelitian ini akan berkontribusi pada pengembangan bahan ajar bagi sekolah dalam pembelajaran Biologi, dan sebagai upaya untuk melestarikan tradisi Pedaq Api.
