Spider Diversity (Araneae) at Bamboo Village Campus, Golewa Subdistrict, Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia

Abstract

Bamboo Village Campus is an agroforestry area located in the districts of Turetogo Village Ratogesa, Golewa District, Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Within the bamboo campus area, there is also a sustainable bamboo forest as well as a habitat filled with various types of bamboo and mollusk plants, including traditional shrubs and dye plants. As a bamboo forest area, many animals, especially insects, inhabit the area. One of the most common insects found in bamboo forests is spiders (Araneae). The aim of this research is to find out the variety of species of spiders (Araneae) that are found in the campus area of Bamboo Village Agroforestry Turetogo. The method used is combined with the transect quadrant, a data collection technique using observations and documentation on each transect. Each transect has four plots measuring 25 × 25 meters with a distance of 5 meters between plots. The results showed that the total number of spiders obtained was 11 species belonging to 5 families, for a total of 900 individual spiders. The spider's diversity index of 2.1774 belongs to the medium index, the diversity index of 0.908 belongs to the high index, the dominant index of 0.1451 belongs to the low index, and the spider abundance index of 0.12 belongs to the medium index.
