The diversity of Papilionoidea in industrial area of PT indocement tunggal prakarsa Tbk Palimanan plant Cirebon

Abstract

A study on species diversity of Papilionoidea butterfly was carried out in industrial and quarry area of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk Palimanan Plant. The habitat is divided into eight categories, namely: the conservation area of Mount Blindis (GB), tree stands area within the plant area (DP), tree stands area outside the plant area (LP), area around artificial pool/lake (KB), area of Jatropha curcas plant (TJ), buffer zone (BZ), shrubs area (SB), and paddy field area withinindustrial and quarry area (SW). Total butterfly species found are 48 species. Nymphalidae is a family that has the most number of species found. The highest abundance is in GB area, followed by LP area, and the lowest one is SW area. The highest diversity index is found in LP area. The highest community similarity is found between BZ and SB area and the lowest one is found between GB and SW area
