This species is an essential bioindicator of ecological health. However, due to habitat fragmentation and loss, there is a rapid population decline in the Philippines. Interestingly, H. indus has been observed in a suburban town in Los Amigos, Tugbok District, Davao City, perching on trees alongside the Davao to Bukidnon national road. This study aims to determine the influence of human perception and values towards the conservation of H. indus through multiple linear regression. Seventy (70) households were interviewed on their perception, values, and conservation attitude. It was found that H. indus is considered a pest to aquaculture because it feeds on the fingerlings of Hito ( Siluriformes sp.) and Tilapia ( Oreochromis sp.). However, locals still support conservation due to existing laws. This result highlights the importance of laws in deterring criminal offenses against wildlife. There is a need to strengthen law enforcement and develop a conservation education program to foster positive perception, values, and conservation attitude. These are efficient and sustainable approaches to accomplish conservation goals.

From the past years, biodiversity loss still continues particularly in various ecosystems. Coral reef ecosystem is one of the ecosystems near coastal areas where the biodiversity is degrading due to anthropogenic activities and natural causes. Coastal community`s food and livelihood relies heavily on coral reef ecosystems. Illegal fishing and overfishing are the main activities that contribute to the degradation of coral reef ecosystem. As a result, the natural habitat of marine animals commonly found in coral reef ecosystems and mangrove ecosystems are affected that leads to its degradation. An assessment was conducted in order to determine the current status of coral reef ecosystems in the selected coastal municipalities in Zambales. The methods used to assess the coral reef ecosystems are photo transect method, manta tow and snorkeling method to measure and determine the present coral cover of the study areas. Results of the study revealed that only the coral reef ecosystem in Sta. Cruz have good condition status. However, the coral reef ecosystems of Candelaria, Masinloc and Palauig have only fair coral reef conditions. The total average percentage cover of dead corals is higher than the percentage of live hard coral cover. Thus, results indicate that the coral reef ecosystems which serve as habitats of marine organisms are already degraded due to human activities, climate change, natural forces such as strong waves and predators.

This study investigates the spawning characteristics vis a vis fisheries management of D. macrosoma in the waters of Romblon Province. The spawning peak in Romblon Pass is during the Hot (May) and Cold (December-January) Seasons, while during Rainy (October) and Hot (May) Seasons in Tablas Strait. The timing of peak spawning of D. macrosoma around Tablas Island varies with that of the South Sibuyan Sea, but generally similar to the breeding traits in Palawan Waters, Manila Bay, and other shortfin scads’ populations in Asian Waters. Initial findings argue that the variations in spawning characteristics of populations in this study are influenced by the rate of exploitation. Areas in Romblon Pass, Southwest Philippine Sea, and North Sulu Sea – show no sign of heavy exploitation. The common peak spawning months in MIMAROPA Waters are May and December, while May, October, and December in Romblon Waters. This can be used as the basis for management decisions to regulate the fishing efforts of D. macrosoma in the Fisheries Management Area no. 5.

The study assessed trees’ diversity, biophysical attributes, utilization values and ecological importance. Quadrat sampling was performed to gather abundance and biometric data of trees with diameter at breast height of 15cm and greater. Data analysis employed alpha diversity indices, distance and similarity measures, carbon-based allometric equations, stand-stock table and other tools. Secondary information and first-hand accounts were used to gather ecological and utilization values. Diversity was very high, highly heterogeneous, and very complex. Diffun was found to have the most contiguous tree assemblage; Cabarroguis and Aglipay share more species than with Maddela and Diffun. Analysis of photographed canopies revealed mean canopy closure is 77.41%. Close to half of individual trees fall under 40cm and 50cm dbh classes, implying QFL is secondary forest. Trees have aboveground stored Carbon of 642.87tons/ha or 1.26tons/tree. The area host five premium timbers, 10 Philippine Mahogany timbers, Rosewoods, 15 Furniture/Construction, and 95 underutilized species. Slightly more than a third (33.60%) of sampled canopy trees (43 species total) require conservation effort, White Lauan (Shorea contorta) is the most critical. To control further damage, measures to prevent further forest cover loss must be instituted to understand and sustain ecosystem functions.

Macroinvertebrates were collected by D-frame net and Ekman’s dredge. Physico-chemical analysis of water was performed by following methods of American public health association. During the survey 28 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded representing phylum Annelida (8 taxa), Arthropoda (13 taxa), and Mollusca (7 taxa). Mean population density of macroinvertebrates was estimated 6376 ind./m2. The annelids were found dominant (2524 ind./m2) followed by arthropods (2411 ind./m2) and molluscs (1441 ind./m2). Mean value of Biological indices was computed 2.41 (Shannon’s index), 0.89 (Simpson’s index), 1.55 (Margalef’s index), and 0.17 (Pielou evenness index). Water quality assessment revealed eutrophic, alkaline, highly productive, hard water type, and organically polluted nature of lake waters. Water quality, sewage influx, organic wastes, agricultural wastes, and macrophytes were observed as the influential factors in determining the patterns in diversity, distribution, and composition of macroinvertebrate community in the lake. Anthropogenic pressure at lake catchments was observed as a major force behind the current ecological conditions of lake.

However, our understanding of odonates as environmental bioindicators remains limited. This concern arises primarily from the significant data gaps in the local and global structure and distribution pattern of odonate fauna, especially in terrestrial landscapes. This study determined the assemblage and diversity attributes of odonate species in K’laja Karst Ecotourism Park, one of the few remaining natural reserves in General Santos City, Southern Mindanao. Data showed a rich and highly diverse odonate fauna with 22 species belonging to 19 genera within nine families. More than 45% of the documented odonate species were endemic to the Philippines, 89% of which were Zygopterans (damselflies). Anisopterans (dragonflies) were more abundant and species-rich, comprising 56% and 59% of the total collection, respectively, with the libellulids dominating in both respects. Several Anisopteran species thrived abundantly in open, cultivated fields, while most Zygopteran species recorded higher numbers and diversity indices in shaded habitats adjacent to the river. Findings reveal that while odonate composition and diversity remain robust, the relative distribution and proportion of Zygopteran and Anisopteran species indicate habitat alteration and degradation. Together, these data provide a basis for identifying priority areas for protection and conservation in the karst landscape.","PeriodicalId":356527,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Biodiversity","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127423640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
