Setiawan Y, Rachmawati R, Tarno H. 2018. Diversity of ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) on teak forest in Malang District, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1791-1797. Ambrosia beetle plays an important role in the temperate forest. Ambrosia beetle lives symbiotically with microorganism such as fungi, bacterium, and yeast that can cause plant wilt and death. In Java, ambrosia beetle has been reported to attack teak plantations in some regions. This research aimed to investigate the diversity of ambrosia beetles in the teak plant on monoculture and polyculture system in Malang District. This research was conducted in the teak forest in Dampit and Sumbermanjing Wetan, Malang District from March to May 2017. Ambrosia beetles were trapped by using baited bottle trap with 95% ethanol. The diversity of ambrosia beetles trapped was analyzed using Vegan package in R program to calculate the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H), Species Evenness index (E), and Simpson's dominance index (D). The results showed that ambrosia beetles trapped in monoculture and polyculture teak plants system consist of nine species, i.e., Xylosandrus crassiusculus, X. morigerus, X. compactus, Xyleborus perforans, Euwallacea simillis, Xyleborinus andrewesi, Premnobius cavipennis, Coccotrypes distinctus, and Hypothenemus hampei. The Shannon Wiener index of Ambrosia beetles in polyculture (H=1.40) was higher than in monoculture (H=1.30), and both locations were categorized in the medium diversity category. The Species Evenness index of ambrosia beetles in polyculture (E=0.67) and monoculture (E=0.66) were also categorized in medium category. The Simpson’s dominance index in both locations was categorized in the middle dominance species. X. crassiusculus was the dominant species in polyculture and monoculture teak plant system.

For gauging suitability of zygopteran odonates as bioindicators of ecosystems, an attempt was made to record the seasonal diversity of damselflies from seven different types of habitats in Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal covering 14 land use sites. The study revealed existence of 19 species of damselflies belonging to 10 genera under two families. While the riparian zone had maximum number of species (15), paddy field had the lowest number (six). Ceriagrion coromandelianum and Agriocnemis pygmaea were the most common species. C. coromandelianum was eudominant in grassland and wetland-forest interface, whereas A. pygmaea was eudominant in fish pond and paddy field. Six species, viz., Paracercion calamorum, P. malayanum, Pseudagrion australasiae, P. decorum, P. spencei, and P. microcephalum were confined only to the riparian zone. Maximum abundance of damselflies was found in the riparian zone and minimum in the paddy field. Damselflies exhibited a distinct peak in March–April and a lesser peak in September–October. Most of the land use patterns exhibited similar zygopteran faunal composition. Species diversity index was moderate (1.4–2.5) and evenness index was on the higher side (0.76–0.94). Dominance Index ranged from 26.2 to 64.6. Riparian zone appeared to be the least stressed and most equitable habitat with highest diversity and evenness index and lowest dominance index. Paddy field seemed to be the harshest habitat for damselflies with least diversity and highest dominance index. The present study suggests that community analysis of damselflies can be quite useful in the assessment of the quality of any ecosystem.
