KERAGAMAN JENIS KADAL SUB ORDO SAURIA PADA TIGA TIPE HUTAN DI KECAMATAN SUNGAI AMBAWANG
ABSTRACT: Lizards are one of
the group of reptiles belong to suborder Sauria with the greatest number of
members on earth. This research aims to know the species of lizards of suborder
Sauria and to know the environmental condition found in primary, secondary and
Tembawang forests in the district of Sungai Ambawang. The research was carried
out by using cruising method. The lizards seen and found were captured by using
snare stick, pitfall trap, glue trap and direct capture. Morphological
characters analyzed to identify the lizards were snout vent length and tail
length. In three types of forests in Sungai Ambawang district, a total of 68
lizards of suborder Sauria were recorded, which consisted of 48 lizards from
family Scincidae, 5 lizards of Gekkonidae, 3 lizards of Lacertidae, and 12
lizards of Agamidae. The result showed that the dominance index (C) in primary
forest was 0,0865, secondary forest was 0,1046 and 0,1462 in Tembawang forest.
Evenness index (E) of types of lizards was relatively low, with a value of
0,2248 in primary forest, 0,2644 in secondary forest and 0,2663 in Tembawang
forest. The similarity index (SJ) in the three locations was around 0,5-1 where
the three locations had the similarity in the species of lizards.
