Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines

Colin G. Treada way Entomologist II, Senckenberg Museum, Germany

Abstract - An inventory was conducted to determine the diversity and status of butterflies of Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary, Davao Oriental, using quadrat method in five vegetation types, namely; agroecosystem (10-400 masl), dipterocarp (500-900 masl), montane (900-1400 masl), mossy (1400-1500 masl) and pygmy (1500-1675 masl). Two 20m x 20m plots were established per vegetation type. These inventory techniques revealed 142 species of butterflies plus one new subspecies described and illustrated. Diversity assessment using Shannon-Weiner index showed high level (4.1) in the Montane forest as compared to other vegetation types. Bray- Curtis similarity index showed low species similarity in pygmy, mossy and agro-montane forests (< 40 %). Furthermore, this study revealed 7 possible new species, 44 endemics: 2 eastern Mindanao endemic (very rare), 4 Mt. Hamiguitan endemic (very rare), 16 Mindanao endemic and 22 Philippine endemic. Seven species are new records in Mindanao. Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary is the home of diverse and endemic butterfly species.

Abstract - Diversity and status of odonata in Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary was determined after a year of sampling in five vegetation types: agroecosystem (400 masl), dipterocarp (900 masl), montane (1200 masl), mossy (1400 masl) and pygmy (1600 masl) using 2-Km transect walk sampling to provide information on species richness trend and ecological status of odonata. Study showed 31 species with 94% endemism for damselflies and 33.3% for dragonflies. Species richness and endemism were low in agroecosystem H’=0.631 and 1 endemic; high and increasing in the dipterocarp H’=2.298 and 4 endemic to dense montane fores t with H’= 3.056 and 18 endemic; decreasing in mossy H’=2.036 and pygmy H’=1.846. The effects of disturbance on diversity showed highest in agroecosystem (d=83%), mossy and pygmy had intermediate value d=27% and d=24%. Low disturbance was observed in Montane d=10%, dipterocarp d=18.5%. Bray-curtis similarity index for species composition showed four discernible clusters 26 of habitats. Results suggest that odonata has preference for dense forest, undisturbed vegetation, optimum temperature

Birds of Malagos Watershed, Southeastern Philippines

Abstract - Mindanao is considered one of the richest islands in the Philippines, due to high avifaunal biodiversity. Birds

play a vital role in determining the condition of certain areas. The study is a morphological assessment of birds in Malagos watershed, Baguio District, Davao City. It sought to identify and classify the birds species; determine the distribution and compare the taxonomic listing of birds with previous avian surveys in the area. Using point count and mist netting effort, 54 species were identified belonging to 27 families. Three (3) new families were added to the list of previous studies. It included twelve Philippine endemic species, seven Mindanao endemic species, 32 resident species and four species of birds assessed as vulnerable and endangered. The area was also 37 considered disturbed because most of the observed birds were usually found in open and cultivated areas. A comparative study of three other avian surveys showed a steady increase in the population from 1994 to 2002 but a decline in the number of avian species was observed in the present study, a negative trend which is associated with habitat destruction and anthropogenic activities.

Keywords - biodiversity, birds, Malagos watershed,avifaunal

Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines Abstract - The study inventoried and assessed the diversity and ecological status of bryophytes in Mt. Kitanglad Natural Park. Results of the study revealed 428 species of bryophytes. Of these, 70 genera and 29 families are for mosses, while 98 species, 16 genera and 11 families for liverworts. There are 4 species, 2 genera and 1 family for hornworts. The lower montane forest exhibited high diversity and species richness followed by mossy and upper montane forest. However, the mossy forest exhibited the highest bryophyte cover. The species were confined in specific habitats either as epiphytic on tree trunks, soils, thick litters and on rock surfaces. Local assessment revealed 9 endemic species, 8 for mosses and 1 for liverworts; 2 species, Ectropothecium ferrugenium (C. Mull.) Jaeg. and Thuidium benguetense Broth ex. Bartr. were found endemic to the Philippines. Some 46 species might be possibly new. Of these, 43 are for mosses and 3 for liverworts; and 4 possibly endangered belonging to the genus of Dawsonia sp. and Breutelia sp., 141 species were found to be rare and others are widespread. Some 11 medicinal species for mosses and 6 species for the liverworts were recorded. Field guides, checklist and IEC materials were produced as a result of the research investigation. The bryophyte status showed that the variation in structural forms and the niche preferences attributed to their specific and extreme micro habitats such as those dominated by mosses as epiphytic on trunks, decayed logs, and various substrates indicate high in terms of species richness, as such, has provided a taxonomic,

Species Richness, Distribution, and Status of Mosses in Selected Mountains

in Mindanao, Philippines

Lesley Casas Lubos [email protected]

Liceo de Cagayan University, Research and Publication Office Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines

Abstract - The paper determined the species richness, distribution, and status of mosses in selected mountains in

Mindanao, Philippines. Field collections of mosses were conducted in Mt. Kalatungan, Bukidnon Province, Mt. Matutum, South

Cotabato Province, and Mt. Malambo, Davao Province at 10 meters on each side of the trails using alphataxonomymethod. The

mosses were collected, classified, and identified. Its status were also assessed. The study revealed 137 species, 87 genera and 33

families of mosses. Of the 137species, 109 were found in Mt. Kalatungan , 59 in Mt. Matutum. and 20 in Mt. Malambo. Assessment of

status of the species revealed 7 species as Philippine record, 37 new to Mindanao, 1 collected only twice, 29 widespread, 12 rare

species, and all species collected were new record in terms of locality. Mt. Kalatungan had the highest species richness, fol lowed by

Mt. Matutum, and Mt. Malambo had the least number of species. Based on the findings, with the alarming rate of degradation of the

mountains which is basically caused by human activities such as land clearing, slash and burn method for expanding crop plantation,

urbanization, firewood consumption, over collection of moss plant materials of horticulture, landscaping and other commercial

purposes. Some species are epiphytes on tree trunks or branches of live trees while others are on rotten logs, rock surfaces, moist

stones along the stream banks and some grow well on soil. Hence, the identified habitats of new records in the Philippines, new to

Mindanao, new in terms of locality, widespread, and rare species of mosses should be protected through a strict implementation of

the forest laws by concerned authorities.

Keywords - Mosses, species richness, distribution, status, Mindanao Island, Philippines

Abstract - This study was conducted primarily to determine fish diversity of the coastal waters of mining areas in Tubay,

Agusan del Norte. There were 23 fish species identified belonging to 19 genera and 12 families. Indo-pacific sergeant fish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) was relatively the most abundant in all the three stations comprising more than 25% of the total. Station 1 had the most

numerous (556) and diverse (1.969) fish species. There was a significant difference in the number of fish individuals but had no

significant difference on species diversity index with respect to sampling stations. Station 2 had the highest species richness index

(0.633), while Station 3 had the most even distribution (0.817). Stations 1 and 2 were 77.8% similar. The average water depth,

temperature, transparency, pH and salinity were 4.52 meters, 26.53 ºC, 3.97 meters, 8 and 34.33 ppt, respectively. These all fall

within the DENR standards for Class SC water.

Multi Species Predator-Prey Model and ClimateChange Impact on Biodiversity

Roberto N. Padua

[email protected]

Cebu Normal University

Abstract - The interaction of multiple species of animals in an ecological system is modeled by first reducing the

ecological system to a kernel ecological system consisting of keystone species and top predators in the environment through Graph

Theory. From the reduced kernel ecological system of keystone species, a system of Lotka-Volterra differential equations is used to

describe the predator-prey relationships that exist. The equations for the number of organism per species were derived and additive

environmental stochasticity or noise is added to each equation. The noise is assumed to come from an extreme value distribution or

Gumbel distribution to reflect the impact of extreme weather conditions on the population dynamics of the entire ecological system.

Results reveal a rich dynamical behavior for the system which otherwise would not have been revealed by straight application of

deterministic predator-prey models.

Keywords - predator, prey, graph theory, Lotka-Volterra, multi-species model, stochastic model
