Disassembly and functional diversity change in amphibian communities in degraded habitats in Indonesia Sumatra Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari dampak gangguan habitat oleh manusia pada komunitas yang kaya akan spesies amibi di Indonesia Bidang Penelitian : Biologi Daerah Penelitian : Jambi, Sumsel Hutan Hujan Harapan, TN Bukit Barisan Selatan Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan mulai 5 Februari 2013 Mitra Kerja : Sekolah Ilmu dan Teknologi Hayati ITB Prof. Dr. Djoko T. Iskandar Abstrak It is essential to identify the spatial and temporal distribution of animal communities as well as the driving processes involved in the composition of species communities in order to understand biodiversity. Today’s challenge is to determine rules and processes that describe the disassembly of species in disturbed habitats. It is crucial to understand the sensitivity of species to disturbances as well as the reaction of entire communities. This project addresses the efects of habitat disturbance by man selective logging, agric. use on species-rich amphibian communities in Indonesia Sumatra. We will study local amphibian diversity and will identify the processes that lead to species compositions speciic for certain habitats and make predictions about amphibian diversity change after habitat disturbance. These goals will be achieved by applying a range of ecological ield methods. The ecological traits of species and their diversity will reveal biodiversity patterns. We intend to determine the ecological processes that maintain biodiversity or leads to its loss, respectively. 74 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013
