Earthworm diversity and populations in different habitats of Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape, Bohol, Philippines
An earthworm survey was conducted to determine the species composition, diversity, and species richness in the grassland, agricultural areas, and secondary forest habitats of Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape (RSPL). Six indigenous morphospecies of earthworms were identified, which are putatively new species. These include one Amynthas species, three Polypheretima species, and two Pheretima species. Also, Pontoscolex corethrurus, an invasive species was found to be the most abundant species of earthworm in grassland and agricultural areas but not in the secondary forest. The diversity index showed a high level in the secondary forest with low species richness. Agricultural and grassland areas showed a low level of diversity. Land use and abiotic factors can be related to the composition of earthworm communities in different habitats. Further studies must be conducted for the conservation and sustainable management of its biodiversity and habitat.
期刊介绍:
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
