Transect method and 8 randomly quadrat plots were sampled in a 20 x 20 m plot in a 12 hectares of the montane forest identified as lower and upper montane. Taxonomic treatments of the collected macrolichens species were performed in the field and in the laboratory.The curren study revealed 117 macrolichens species belonging to 19 genera and 9 families. Comparison of the taxa were based upon observable characters such as the notable growth forms and mirohabitats distribution of species that are closely epiphytic on tree trunks is represented by family Lobariaceae. Local assessment further revealed 2 critically endangered lichens species namely: Lobaria retigera (Bory) Trevisan and Pseudocyphellaria aurata (Ach.) and 1 species nearly threatened, Usnea sp. Of the collected species, 8 macrolichens were noted to have ethnobotanically recorded with medicinal properties. The macrolichens distributions in the park suggests that environmental and ecological interactions within and among the species play an important role in the dynamics of the forest ecosystem.

A study of these groups of fungi and mosses was conducted at the different protected areas and forest reserves in North Central Mindanao from August 2016 to October 2018. The collection and photo-documentation of these organisms were done to determine and account the existing species in the different ecosystems in the area. The Transect Line (TL) Method was used, established from the different areas of North Central Mindanao with 10m x 50m quadrat sampling and with an interval of 50 meters between quadrats. The fungal and moss species within the quadrats along the TLs were identified and recorded. Field sampling of fungi resulted in the identification of 76 families, 122 genera, and 185 species. For mosses, the study revealed 174 species, 97 genera, and 39 families. The discovery of some species previously known only in the other regions of the Philippines and the possible new species implies that the protected areas and watershed, and perhaps other areas not covered by initial surveys, might generate additional species record.

The influx of traders and fishers to the Calamianes Islands contributed to the overharvest of groupers in the area. While LRF in the southwest of the Sulu Sea started in Talakanen Island, Taytay Bay, in 1997, the “Boom and Bust” trend in fisheries threatens the populations of target valuable species due to overharvesting. Survey studies are essential for fisheries management, but only a few studies were conducted in the West Sulu Sea. This study aimed to document the LRF of the Northwest Sulu Sea and use fisheries dependent and non-fisheries dependent methods to assess the population of P. leopardus in the area. Fisheries dependent and non-fisheries dependent methods were used to determine CPUE, population size structure, abundance, and composition of grouper LRF species. The fishing grounds of LRF were in the inner portion of the bay during Northeast Monsoon, while extended to outer portions during Southwest Monsoon. Three kinds of handlines were used to catch groupers: Sibid, Undak, and Latak. The duration of fishing was categorize as Sibid (half-day), Balikan (within the day), and Dayo (multiple days). There was a low number of mature P. leopardus in the area. Twelve species of serranids compose the LRF. The average size of P. leopardus significantly decreased from 33.5cm in 2010 to 16.0cm in 2015. The CPUE of P. leopardus remarkably decreased from 89.0g in 2010 to 25.0g per hour/fishers in 2015. The population of P. leopardus in the Northwest Sulu Sea showed signs of depletion.

It is known to its cold ambience, zero visibility fogs and big resorts built along the main road. Thus, the study was conducted to determine the diversity, ecological and conservation status of fruit bats in the area. The selected areas for this study are Sitio Maharlika (Site 1) and Sitio Puting Bato (Site 2) of Brgy. Baganihan, Marilog District, Davao City. The two selected sites were described in terms of vegetation and habitat type. Site 1 (Sitio Maharlika) composed of a patch of secondary forest approximately 300 meters from the main road which is disturbed due to agricultural activities such as abacca and strawberry plantations. Site 2 (Sitio Puting Bato) is also a secondary forest but with lesser disturbance which is more likely due to its farther distance from the main road. Fruit bat species were assessed using mist-nets following standard protocols with a total of 104 net nights. Fruit bat inventory and assessment revealed 7 species with a total of 249 individuals captured. One species were listed as threatened (Megaerops wetmorei), 2 endemic species in the Philippines (Haplonycteris fischeri and Ptenochirus jagori) and 1 species restricted only in Mindanao (P. minor). Diversity index was higher in site 2 with H’ index of 0.736 compared to site 1 with H’ index of 0.698 which can be correlated to comparable disturbance between 2 sites. Based on the results, the 2 study sites of Brgy. Baganihan is home to various fruit bat species with high species endemicity. Thus, conservation measures are highly recommended to conserve and protect the fruit bats and also the other wildlife in the area.

This paper documented 27 species of gingers belonging to 10 genera in four tribes and two subfamilies, from the five sampling sites in Marilog Forest Reserve, Southern Philippines from February 2018 to November 2019. Data revealed that Zingiberaceae species in these sites constitute ca . 23% of the total number of Philippine Zingiberaceae, and 56% of the collected species are endemic to the Philippines. Wurfbainia hedyosma (I.M.Turner) Škorničk. & A.D.Poulsen and W. mindanaensis (Elmer) Škorničk. & A.D.Poulsen were recollected after a lapse of 100 years. Hedychium philippinense K.Schum. is a CITES-listed species and one of the five threatened ginger species, while H. coronarium Koenig is the only invasive alien species documented. Furthermore, this paper bears significance due to the highest number of Zingiberaceae species collected in a certain geographical area in the country as of to date. Since Marilog Forest Reserve is not a protected area and is under severe anthropogenic activities that endanger these wild species, there is, therefore, an urgent call for in situ conservation efforts by the local people and stakeholders in the area.","PeriodicalId":356527,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Biodiversity","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117098160","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}

The mangrove species are under 8 orders, 9 families and 10 genera. Results revealed that Rhizophora mucronata dominated all study sites. The mangrove ecosystems of the four selected municipalities in Zambales exhibited very low diversity. All the species of mangrove observed were evaluated as Least Concerned (LC) species except for Aegiceras floridum which is in the Near Threatened (NT) category. All the mangroves observed in selected study sites in Zambales were in decreasing population trend except for Nypa fruticans. The condition of the mangrove ecosystems in Palauig is excellent due to the excellent crown cover and regeneration of the mangrove trees and undisturbed condition of the mangrove trees. Furthermore, the mangroves conditions in the municipalities of Sta. Cruz and Masinloc are good while in Candelaria is with fair condition. The sources of environmental degradation that could affect the mangrove ecosystems are sedimentation/siltation, quarrying, dynamite fishing, mine tailings, soil erosion, environmental aesthetic degradation, eutrophication, oil spill, mine drainage pollution, solid wastes and tourism.
