DIVERSITY AND DENSITY OF TERMITES IN A RANGE OF LAND USE TYPES IN THE RIGIS HILL AREA, SUMBERJAYA – LAMPUNG

Inventory of termites has been conducted during the rainy season of 2004 in a range of land use types in the Rigis Hill Area—Sumberjaya, Lampung. Termites were collected using 20 m x 2 m semi quantitative transects from 35 sample points distributed in seven land use types of increasing intensity, i.e. undisturbed forest, disturbed forest, shrub, polyculture coffee, monoculture coffee, food crop, and vegetable crop. Results showed that, first, overall we found 37 species of termites from 15 genera, 4 subfamilies, 2 families and with 2 functional groups (soil feeders and wood feeders). Second, termite diversity and density decreases along increasing gradient of land use intensification. Third, the collapsing effect of land use intensity was more apparent on soil feeding termites than on the wood feeding termites. Keywords: termite, diversity, feeding groups, land use
