Abstract
Earthworm diversity and populations in the seaward and landward portions of Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape and Seascape (ILPLS) were assessed. Soil physico-chemical properties in the area were also assessed to explain such oc- currence. Pheretima cf. lantapanensis, Amynthas sp. and Polypheretima sp., all belonging to family Megascolecidae, were detected in the area. ILPLS has a very low diversity of earthworms and the soil physico-chemical properties had no significant relationship with earthworm species diversity. The soil physico-chemical properties between the seaward and landward portions of the protected area were not significantly different. This study was undertaken to provide baseline in- formation on earthworm species diversity in ILPLS, which will serve to help strengthen the policy on the conservation and protection of biodiversity in the protected area.
期刊介绍：
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
