Abstract

The Ecotourism Area of Silokek Geopark in Sijunjung Regency is a new ecotourism location in West Sumatra with its main characteristic being karst rock hills that have not been extensively explored, especially in the entomological aspect. The research on "Entomological Inventory and Its Ecological Aspect in the Area of Silokek Geopark Ecotourism, Sijunjung Regency" was conducted from March to September 2023 at the Laboratory of Invertebrate Animal Taxonomy, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Andalas, Padang. The aim of this research is to determine the entomological inventory insects and analyze the ecological aspects and their influence on insects in the Silokek Geopark Ecotourism Area. The survey and exploration method were employed, and the data were analyzed descriptively. In this research, 233 species from 91 families and 14 orders of insects were found, comprising a total of 1147 individuals. Based on transect composition measurements, the forest transects showed the highest composition (10 orders, 53 families, 112 species, and 581 individuals), and the quadrant protocol method exhibited the highest composition (401 individuals). Overall, Silokek Geopark is classified as having high diversity (H’=4.31) based on diversity index measurements. Regarding transects, the highest diversity was found in the rubber plantation transect (H’=3.81), while based on methods, the highest diversity was observed using the pan trap method in the rice fields (H’=3.37). The highest similarity index among the three transects was found in the comparison between the rubber plantation and rice fields (J=0.21).
