Komunitas Semut (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Di Taman Hutan Raya Sultan Syarif Hasyim Minas Siak Hulu Provinsi Riau
ABSTRACT
Research on ant community (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) had been carried out at
natural and disturbed area in Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Minas District,
Siak Regency, Riau Province, from 22-25 July 2020 using five sampling methods
namely Pitfall Trap, Honey Bait Trap, Hand Collecting, Leaf Litter Sifting and
Soil Core Sampling. This study aimed to determine the composition of ant
species, diversity and evenness of ants across the habitats in the study site. The
study identified 23 species from 15 genera, nine tribes and five subfamilies with a
total of 2,458 individuals collected. The most common species was Nylanderia sp.
1, while Baited Trap collected most ant individuals at each location. The analysis
revealed that Nylanderia sp. 1 became the most abundant species at two sampling
area, indicated by index value 0.32. The natural and disturbed area had moderate
diversity and similarity (H '= 1.74, E = 0.59). Environmental conditions were
thought to affect the composition of ants were soil pH, soil temperature, soil
moisture, air temperature and humidity. In addition, the availability of food
sources, interspecific competition, habitat quality and human activities were also
included as influence for ant community.
