Limnology of Lake Wood: an Ancestral Lake of the Subanen Tribe
Philippine Journal of Science 150 (5): 1231-1243, October 2021 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 14 Dec 2020 Limnology of Lake Wood: An Ancestral Lake of the Subanen Tribe Marjohn Y. Baludo1*, Rey Donne S. Papa3, and Francis S. Magbanua2 1Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology; 2Institute of Biology University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 3Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science; and Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Graduate School University of Santo Tomas, Manila 1015 Philippines Relatively limited information exists on Lake Wood’s limnology and ecology, an ancestral lake of the Subanens. Here, we provide a limnological characterization of the lake – exploring its physical, chemical, and biological features. The data on lake morphometry were gathered using an echosounder; lower depth water samples were collected using a Niskin water sampler for physicochemical analyses while surface water samples were collected at five sampling sites for phosphate (PO4) analysis; and zooplankton samples were collected at several depths through vertical towing in March–April 2019. Lake Wood, located at 320 m above sea level, has an extensive surface area covering 7.38 km2 with a maximum depth of 85 m. Lake water comes from rainfall, small rivers, and groundwater and empties into the Dumanquilas Bay via its only outlet – the Biswangan River. Land use of the lake is predominantly cultivated land. Moreover, based on the trophic state index (TSI), the lake’s current trophic status is eutrophic. During the study periods, thermocline and oxycline formed at 15 m below the surface of the lake. -

Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

Mahilum Jhun Joules M. Mahilum and Cesar G. Demayo Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics Abstract MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, This study was conducted to describe the shell shape differences among intra- and inter-lake populations Iligan City, Philippines of P. canaliculata using the geometric morphometric analysis. The shell shape variation among all populations collected is common in the spire, shell body and apertural area morphology. It was found out Cesar G. Demayo that minimal sexual dimorphism was observed on the dorsal portion of the shell where male and female Department of Biological Sciences, populations tend to group separately. While on the ventral portion, male and female populations grouped College of Science and Mathematics uniquely. Results have shown significant variations validated by showing the superimposition with the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, expansion maps among all populations which showed the occurrence of variation of the both dorsal and Iligan City, Philippines ventral portion of the shell. This is either caused by the organism’s phenotypic responses (plasticity) or particularly which act during ontogenetic development or directly affected by the environmental factors. Keywords: plasticity, morphometrics, phenotypes 1. Introduction P. canaliculata is believed to be the most variable species among the group Ampullariidae [1] where intra- and inter-populational variations in size and shapes are qualitatively recognizable. -
