Lepidoptera diversity in grassland and secondary forest using UV light trap in De La Salle University–Science and Technology Complex, Biñan City, Laguna, Philippines

The diversity of lepidoptera in the two adjacent ecosystems, grassland and secondary forest, behind DLSU-STC campus was determined. Species diversity of lepidoptera in both habitats is generally low – H 1 =1.818 in grassland and H1 =1.850 in the secondary forest suggesting an uneven distribution of...

Description
Summary:The diversity of lepidoptera in the two adjacent ecosystems, grassland and secondary forest, behind DLSU-STC campus was determined. Species diversity of lepidoptera in both habitats is generally low – H 1 =1.818 in grassland and H1 =1.850 in the secondary forest suggesting an uneven distribution of species in the area. Two families of Lepidoptera were observed to be dominating in the area; Pyralidae dominates the secondary forest due to the presence of fruit trees and Gracillariidae in the grassland due to the abundance of Napier grasses, with a relative density of 28.57% and 32.43%, respectively. The two habitats show 82.35% of taxa that are commonly shared within the area.
