61 BAB V KESIMPULAN DAN SARAN A. Kesimpulan Berdasarkan Hasil
BAB V KESIMPULAN DAN SARAN A. Kesimpulan Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa: 1. Keanekaragaman serangga pengunjung bunga matahari berupa 28 spesies serangga pengunjung yang secara keseluruhan tergolong ke dalam 21 genus, 12 familia dan 5 ordo; dengan perbandingan jenis spesies yang paling dominan berasal dari ordo Hymenoptera yaitu 12 spesies, kemudian disusul oleh ordo Lepidoptera sebanyak 11 spesies, ordo Diptera sebanyak 3 spesies serta ordo Orthoptera dan Blattodea masing–masing 1 spesies. 2. Aktivitas serangga pengunjung bunga matahari. a. Aktivitas serangga pengunjung yang kehadirannya mengambil nektar dan serbuk sari, sebagian besar di ketahui berasal dari genus Amegilla , Xylocopa , Ceratina , Apis , Trigona , Megachile dan kelompok ordo Diptera. b. Aktivitas serangga pengunjung yang kehadirannya mengambil nektar saja, diketahui berasal genus Thyreus , Allorhynchium serta kelompok ordo Lepidoptera yang terdiri dari familia Hesperidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Erebidae dan Hyblaeidea. c. Aktivitas serangga pengunjung yang kehadirannya mengambil serbuk sari saja, diketahui berasal genus Tettigona dan Blatella . 61 62 B. SARAN 1. Di Indonesia, penelitian yang mengkaji tentang tingkat keanekaragaman serangga pengunjung bunga matahari masih sangatlah minim, sehingga perlu dikaji (disempurnakan) lebih dalam lagi terhadap berbagai jenis varietas dalam waktu yang lebih lama. Baik varietas penghasil minyak, varietas bahan makanan (kuaci), varietas pakan ternak dan bunga potong guna mengetahui tingkat perbedaan data -
ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES and PASSERINE DIET: EFFECTS of SHRUB EXPANSION in WESTERN ALASKA by Molly Tankersley Mcdermott, B.A./B.S

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity. -

Diversity of Spiders from Zolambi Region of Chandoli National Park

Mahavidyalaya, Kavathe Mahankal, Dist. -Sangli. (MS), India 416405 Abstract: Diversity of spiders from Zolambi region of Chandoli National Park in Western Ghats is studied for the first time. A total of 90 species belonging to 55 genera and 19 families are recorded from the study area during 2011-2013 with a dominance of Araneid, Salticid and Lycosid spiders. Key words: Spider diversity, Western Ghats I. Introduction Spiders comprise one of the largest orders of animals. The spider fauna of India has never been studied in its entirety despite of contributions by many arachnologists since Stoliczka (1869). The pioneering contribution on the taxonomy of Indian spiders is that of European arachnologist Stoliczka (1869). Review of available literature reveals that the earliest contribution by Blackwall (1867); Karsch (1873); Simon (1887); Thorell (1895) and Pocock (1900) were the pioneer workers of Indian spiders. They described many species from India. Tikader (1980, 1982), Tikader, described spiders from India. Tikader (1980) compiled a book on Thomisidae spiders of India, comprising two subfamilies, 25 genera and 115 species. Pocock (1900) and Tikader (1980, 1987) made major contributions to the Indian Arachnology, have high lightened spider studies to the notice of other researcher. Tikader (1987) also published the first comprehensive list of Indian spiders, which included 1067 species belonging to 249 genera in 43 families. -

The check list includes 216 species. The map of collecting localities is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Erebidae, Asia, Kazakhstan, Saur, fauna. INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately. -

RIZVI Division of Entomology, Sher-e- Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Chatha Jammu – 180009, J&K, India Abstract: A study was conducted in Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir State to determine the species composition and relative abundance of pollinators on Parkinsonia aculeata L., (Family Fabaceae) is a perennial flowering plant, growing as an avenue tree on roadsides. Parkinsonia flowers attracted 27 species of insects belonging to orders Hymenoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera. They included Megachile bicolor (Fabricius), Megachile hera (Bingham), Megachile lanata (Fabricius), Megachile disjuncta (Fab.), Megachile cephalotes (Smith), Megachile badia (Fab.), Megachile semivestita (Smith), Megachile vigilans (Smith), Megachile relata (Fab.), Megachile femorata, Andrena sp., Amegilla zonata (Linnaeus), Amegilla confusa (Smith), Apis dorsata (Fab.), Apis cerana (Fab.), Apis florea (Fab.), Ceratina smaragdula (Fab.)., Xylocopa latipes (Drury), Nomia iridescens (Smith), Nomia curvipes (Fab.), and seven species of unidentified insects. Megachile bees were most abundant and constituted more than 95% of the insects visiting Parkinsonia aculeata flowers. Species diversity measured by Shannon Wiener index showed a high value of H' = 2.03, reflecting a diverse pollinator community in the area. The foragers of all the species were found to be most active between 11.00 and 15.00 hrs and the population of flower visitors declined thereafter.
