This study Received: 03/05/2021 aims to determine the diversity and abundance of dragonflies Revised: 09/07/21 (Odonata) in the Mount Sigogor Nature Reserve Area. The Accepted: 13/07/21 method of collecting dragonflies data used the Visual Day Flying method by recording the diversity of dragonflies species and counting the number of individuals from each observed dragonflies species. The data obtained were analyzed using the Relative abundance, Shannon-Wiener Heterogeneity Index and the frequency of Presence. The results of the research conducted showed that there were 14 species from 7 families with a total of 464 individuals. The Shannor-Wiener diversity index shows that the diversity value is H'= 1.81. Meanwhile, the presence frequency analysis showed that there were four species with a value of 100% which were classified as abundant Frequency of Presence, namely Euphaea variegata, Vestalis luctuosa, Rhinocypha anisoptera and Coeliccia membranipes.

My research has explored questions on the evolution of color signals, color vision, and flight morphology. I am particularly interested in understanding the evolution of color signals, how they are perceived by intended and unintended receivers and the role of these audiences in driving population and species divergence. I also study the evolution of flight morphology because wings are large conspicuous body surfaces that can be also used as motion signal vehicles for intra- and interspecific communication.

(With Plate 2.) Concerning our fundamental knowledge of the Japanese fauna of dragonflies, we owe to the works of De Selys-Longchamps. His first work appeared some thirty years ago under the title „Les Odonates du Japon“ *); in this monographic list the author enumerates 67 species, of which 27 are represented by Libellulidae. This publication was followed by a second paper entitled „Les Odonates recueillis aux iles Loo-Choo“ 2),* in which 10 additional species are described , and of these 6 are Libellulidae. Needham, Williamson, and Foerster published some studies on Japanese dragonflies in several papers. Quite recently Prof. Matsumura 3) des­ cribes the dragonflies from Saghalin together with other insects occuring on that island. An elaborate work on Libellulidae is in the course of publication4), by which our knowledge on this fauna is widely extended, though I find that many species of this family are yet spared in this work. So far as I am aware, in these works are represented those Japanese dragonflies which are hitherto known. They are 48 species in number. At present our empire is greatly added in its area, so that it is extended from the high parallel of 50° north to the tropic cancer, containing those various parts of locality which are almost not yet explored.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Regional cooperation among local government is a must for the efficient management of public administration. The state has been implementing regulations on such cooperation. However, there are regions which reluctant to cooperate, especially with the adjacent areas. This method used is the study of literature, this paper will conduct an in-depth exploration of collaborative activities in Selingkar Wilis in East Java Province. Selingkar Wilis consists of six regencies (Tulungagung, Trenggalek, Ponorogo, Madiun, Nganjuk, and Kediri). These areas are provincial strategic areas which will be developed into a new tourism destination. Moreover, according to the preliminary study there are some problems hampering such cooperation, due mainly to regional selfishness. Therefore, this paper shows various regional cooperation models that aims to illustrate the cooperation among regions. These efforts are a must for the better development management among Selingkar Wilis areas. From the results of the study in the model offered for inter-regional cooperation activities, what is appropriate is the joint secretariat, which consists of three components, namely the local government, the private sector, and the daily executive board.

    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

  • Review of Interregional Cooperation of the Regions Around Mount Wilis in the Perspective of Statutory Regulations
    REVIEW OF INTERREGIONAL COOPERATION OF THE REGIONS AROUND MOUNT WILIS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF STATUTORY REGULATIONS Widya Lestari, Aulia Buana, Mila Wijayanti, Wiwandari Handayani Email: [email protected] Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Diponegoro University ABSTRACT Interregional cooperation is an important consequence of the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policy in Indonesia. Cooperation is the government’s effort to overcome the limitedness and to optimize its potentials in order to implement regional development efficiently and effectively to realize society's welfare. The cooperation effort is done by six regencies (Tulungagung, Trenggalek, Ponorogo, Madiun, Nganjuk, and Kediri) around Mount Wilis - East Java to be able to mutually strengthen the process of development. The study aimed to review the implementation of regional development cooperation of the regions around Mount Wilis from the perspective of applicable statutory regulations. The result of the review was used to find the opportunities and challenges in the implementation of the interregional cooperation of the regions around Mount Wilis. The study used content analysis with a descriptive qualitative approach to elaborate on how the context of interregional cooperation according to statutory regulations was articulated in the cooperation performed. From the result of the review, were found some opportunities and challenges in the implementation of the interregional cooperation of the regions around Mount Wilis. The commitment of the regional governments of the six regencies, the Government of East Java, and the Central Government was an opportunity for cooperation. While the challenges faced were the implementation of institutional context and cooperation funding. The opportunity and challenge findings are expected to be material for evaluation of the implementation of the interregional cooperation of the regions around Mount Wilis for future improvement of cooperation.

School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM, Penang. MALAYSIA. Corresponding author*: [email protected] Tel: 04-653 5874 Fax:04-656 5125 Received: 15 July 2016 Accepted: 28 July 2016 Abstract A study on composition and distribution for Odonata larvae and their relationship with physicochemical parameters was carried out in selected rivers of Gunung Jerai Forest Reserve, Kedah. Different river physichochemical parameters might influence or affect different type of Odonata composition. Therefore, Odonata larvae were sampled monthly at three selected rivers in Gunung Jerai Forest Reserve which were Teroi, Tupah, Batu Hampar rivers from August 2007 until January 2008 by using a D-frame aquatic net. A total of 253 individuals of 12 genera belonging to nine families of Odonata have been identified. Greatest number of odonates individuals was recorded in Teroi River (112 individuals) with mean density recorded highest in January 2008 (6.6 ind/m2). The major families were Libellulidae, Euphaeidae and Gomphidae. Aeshnidae, Macromiidae, Calopterygidae, Coenagrionidae, Amphipterygidae and Chlorocyphidae represented the minority groups. Libellulidae reported the greatest number of individuals in all study areas, followed by Euphaeidae. Ranking from the highest to the lowest number of genus collected were Zygonyx, Euphaea, Macromia, Anax, Ophiogomphus, Libellago, Vestalis and Devadatta, Neurobasis, Cercion, Pseudagrion, Gamphidictinus, and Paragamphus. The distribution of these genera were significant in different months studied (Kruskal Wallis, p<0.05) in all three rivers.
