Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between firefly population and abiotic factors in Sulaman Lake Forest Reserve (SLFR), Sabah, East Malaysia. Sampling was conducted at four sampling stations of SLFR using a sweep net. Water sampling has also been conducted. The study was conducted in July, October, and December 2021. The SLFR is dominated by one mangrove species tree, Rhizophora apiculata . A total of 97 individual fireflies were collected, with Pteropytx bearni (67) being the most abundant firefly species compared to P. gelasina (30). The average water quality of the SLFR was found to be in an acceptable standard value as determined by the Interim National Water Quality Standard (INWQS) Malaysia. Apart from other abiotic influences, water temperature (WT) and wind speed (WS) were found to be significantly different between stations ( P <0.05) and months of sampling ( P <0.05) between stations. Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis showed that there was a positive correlation ( P <0.001) between relative humidity (RH) and the firefly population. Because of their sensitivity to the environment, fireflies are considered strong indicators of the health of ecosystems. An unfavourable atmosphere would eventually reduce the number of fireflies.

马来西亚东部苏拉曼湖森林保护区萤火虫(鞘翅目:灯形目)聚集生态研究
本研究旨在考察东马来西亚沙巴州苏拉曼湖森林保护区(SLFR)的萤火虫数量与非生物因素之间的相关性。研究人员在苏拉曼湖森林保护区的四个取样站使用扫网进行取样。同时还进行了水样采集。研究于 2021 年 7 月、10 月和 12 月进行。红树林保护区内主要生长着一种红树林树种--Rhizophora apiculata。共收集到 97 只萤火虫个体,与 P. gelasina(30 只)相比,Pteropytx bearni(67 只)是最多的萤火虫物种。根据马来西亚临时国家水质标准(INWQS),可持续发展水域的平均水质符合可接受的标准值。除其他非生物影响因素外,水温(WT)和风速(WS)在不同站点之间(P <0.05)和采样月份之间(P <0.05)也存在显著差异。皮尔逊相关分析和逐步回归分析表明,相对湿度(RH)与萤火虫数量呈正相关(P <0.001)。由于萤火虫对环境的敏感性,它们被认为是生态系统健康的有力指标。不利的大气环境最终会减少萤火虫的数量。
