Abstract
Odonata larvae were sampled from 16 tributaries of Kerian River in Kerian River Basin (KRB)
using a long handle D-pond net from September 1998 until May, 1999 covering wet and dry
seasons. Platycnemididae (Suborder Zygoptera) and Libellulidae (Suborder Anisoptera) were the
most dominant families. The distribution of odonate genera was significantly different in wet season
(F=4.70) and dry season (F=3.99) at p=0.05 in all streams but no difference in distribution was
detected between both seasons. Scores of biological indices (H’, D, E, R1, R2) and indicator species
based on selected chemical properties were listed, which showed the dragonfly fauna was slightly
poor.There were strong correlation between generic diversity to dissolved oxygen and nitrate in wet

season, likewise temperature and conductivity in dry season.
Keywords: diversity, Odonata, land use, Northern Peninsular Malaysia.

Abstrak
Larva Odonata disampel dari 16 cabang Sungai Kerian di Lembah Sungai Kerian
(LSK) menggunakan teknik jaring D-Ponds dari bulan September 1998 hingga Mei 1999,
meliputi musim hujan dan musim kemarau. Platycnemididae (Subordo Zygoptera) dan
Libellulidae (Subordo Anisoptera) adalah dua famili yang dominan ditemukan. Distribusi
genus Odonata berbeda secara signifikan pada musim hujan (F=4.70) dan musim kemarau
(F=3.99) pada P=0.05 di semua sungai tetapi tidak berbeda distribusinya di antara dua musim
yang diukur. Nilai indeks biologi (H’, D, E, R1, R2) dan indikator spesies berdasarkan seleksi
sifat kimia dicantumkan, yang menunjukkan fauna capung adalah agak kurang. Terdapat
hubungan yang sangat erat antara keanekaragaman genus dengan oksigen terlarut dan nitrat
pada musim hujan, demikian pula suhu dan konduktivitas pada musim kemarau.

Introduction
As Odonata larvae are aquatic,
their distribution is very much dependent
on their successful adaptations to live in

various microhabitats. Odonata are widely
distributed including in ponds, rice fields,
lakes, streams, and canals of all sizes.
Odonata was found to be a good
environmental indicator in Britain (Moore,
1995) and especially in the lowland areas of
Texas (Garono, et al., 1995). Their species

assemblage
is
dependent
on
the
composition and structure of vegetation
(Buchwald, 1994) and progressive increase
in seasonal variation of various abiotic
parameters correlates with the decrease in
larval richness that gives rise to the
dominance of certain species (FerrerasRomero and Garcia-Rojas, 1995).
Along a 50 km strecth of

increasingly polluted stream (with organic
matter) the odonatan assemblage was found

106

Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian KULTURA • Vol. 40 • No. 2 • September 2005

to be dominated by generalist species
usually recorded in benthic habitat rather
than by typical riverine species which
decreased tremendously in the most
polluted sites. Lenat (1993) and Che
Salmah, et a.l (1999) said odonata sizes and
life history pattern was also influenced by a
degradation of the environmental quality.
This study focused on the
distribution of Odonata, mainly their larvae
and their relation to ecosystem and land
use. Attempts had been made to isolate
species that could be used as bioindicators

of specific habitat or ecosystem.

Material and Methods
Selection of Sampling Sites
Odonatan larvae were collected
from various habitats in Kerian River Basin
covering tip of Kedah to nothern parts of
Perak in the south. Sampling sites were
selected based on land use, presence or
absence
of
pollution,
hydrological
characteristics and available microhabitats.
Sixteen sites sampled included rice fields
(3), palm oil plantation (4), rubber
plantation (3), sand mine area (2), chicken
farm (2) and mountain stream (2).
Odonatan larvae were sampled
using a long handle D-pond net of 40 cm x

40 cm frame, 60 cm long net of
approximately 300 μm mesh size. They was
collected for identification using keys of
Usinger (1956), Morse, et al. (1994),
Westfall and May (1996) and Merrit and
Cummins (1996). The accompanying adults
was identified using the previously
mentioned keys to the further confirm
larval identification.
The chemical properties of water
such as dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature
and conductivity were measured in situ. The
water was also analyzed for nitrate and
phosphate contents using standard method
of Boyd (1979).

Results

Collection of Odonata in both
seasons (wet, dry) resulted in 566:646
individuals, 30:28 genera and 8:8 families
(Table 1). Suborder Anisoptera were
Libellulidae and Gomphidae were the most
dominant
family
besides
Suborder
Zygoptera
were
Chlorocyphidae,
Calopterygidae, Eupleidae and Aeshnidae
(Sub order Anisoptera) were represented by
only one species. Thirteen libellulids genera
such
as

Crocothemis servilea Drury, Deielia phaon

Selys, Libellula quadrimaculata Schmidt,
Macrodiplax sp, Nannophya pygmea Rambur,
Orthetrum brunneum\, O. sabina Drury, O.
taeniolatum, Sympetrum frequens Selys,
Tholymis tillarga, Pantala flavescens Fabricius
and Zyxomma petiolatum were recorded.
There were 10 genera of clubtails
(Gomphidae), Gastrogomphus abdominalis
McLachlan, Gomphidia

Seventeen species of Odonata were
found in rice fields, 27 species in palm oil
plantations, 17 species in rubber
plantations, 19 species in chicken farm, 21

species in sand mine area and 12 species in
mountain streams (Table 2).
There was a significance difference
in the distribution of odonatan individuals
among the streams in KRB in wet season
(F=4.70) and dry season (F=3.99). An LSD
analysis showed that the odonatan larvae
distributions in Selama and Damak Streams
were significantly different from other
streams in wet season. During dry season,

Ameilia Zuliyanti Siregar, Che Salmah Md. Rawi and A.Hassan Ahmad: The Diversity
of Odonata in Relation to Ecosystem and Land Use

distribution of Odonata was more or less
similar in six streams (Table 3).
Scores of biological indices (H’, D,
E, R1, R2) showed that odonatan in
relation to land use in this river basin was
slightly poor (Table 4).
Based on selected water parameter
ranges, several species were identified as
indicators of those parameters (Table 5).
There were strong correlation between
generic diversity to dissolved oxygen
(r=0.69mg/L), nitrate (r=0.24mg/L) and
phosphate (r=0.21mg/L) in wet season, thus
temperature, (r=0.34ºC), conductivity
(r=0.24mg/L) and nitrate (r=0.11mg/L) in
dry season (Table 6).

Discussions
Although the diversity of Odonata
is relatively low compared to most of other
orders of insects, Odonata showed
preference to specific habitats. In this study,
libellulids are common in lowlands such as
a freshwater swamps, palm oil plantations or
rice fields (Heckman, 1979, Van Vreden
and Ahmadzabidi, 1986). Ischnura sp., a
relatively tolerant species usually was also
represented in the rice fields (Nakao, et al.,
1976).
Relatively poor odonatan diversity
in these areas (17 species were identified in
rice fields) could indicate the presence of
disturbed or structurally less complex
microhabitats. Major pollutants arising from
agricultural activities such as excessive
nutrient inputs and pesticide use in
plantations polluted the water bodies
through run-off (Van Dam, et al., 1998).
Therefore only highly adapted or widely
distributes species were able to live in such
environment.
Physicochemical monitoring of a
water body is known to be insufficient to
fully characterize the status of health of the
water. However, it has been recognized as a
vital component of an integrated

assessment of water way’s (Schofield and
Davies, 1996). Some organisms such as
Odonata in this study, could make reliable
indicator species for certain range of water
parameters. Some of the odonatan displayed
strong preference to certain range of water
parameters.
Platycnemid,
Platycnemis
annulata Selys, inhabit aquatic habitat of
4.00-6.25 mg/L of dissolved oxygen. Other
such as Orthetrum brunneum, Macromia
gerstaeckeri Fujian and Paragomphus henryii
Laidlaw thrived well in running water of
high oxygen content (6.26-8.50 mg/L).
Macromia
gerstaeckeri
Fujian
and
Paragomphus henryii Laidlaw preferred water
of low ion consentration whereas Orthetrum
sabina Drury survived better in a more
ionized water (30.00-59.99 μs/cm). The
range preference of these odonatan species
of many water parameters would make them
good indicator of specified degree of water
pollution or disturbance.

Conclusions
Libellulids was the dominant family of the
Odonata fauna of the Northern Peninsular
Malaysia. Some odonatan were typical
habitants of certain ecosystems and some
were very widely distributed that they could
be considered as biological indicators. Many
species were restricted to certain categories
of water parameters. Abundance of
heterogenous
microhabitats
and
environmental health status determined the
distribution and diversity of Odonata in this
study.
