Gunung Lumut Biodiversity Assessment 2005

Summary

Four entomologists of the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, Leiden, The Netherlands,

joined an expedition for a biodiversity assessment of the Gunung Lumut Protection Forest,

situated in the Pasir district of Kalimantan Timur (Indonesia).

The area was investigated from two camps in the protection forest and a subcamp on the slopes

of Gunung Lumut. Special attention was paid to Lepidoptera and Odonata, and to a lesser extent

to Coleoptera.

The area proved to be diverse in geological conditions, in vegetation, and in forest disturbance.

Water types in the area included a variety of streams, from small seepage areas to rivers of 20 to

30 m wide.

The results of the entomological studies were satisfactory, although dark weather greatly

reduced activity of butterflies and dragonflies on many days. The total number of butterfly

species observed is about 160, and the total number of dragonfly species about 45. An estimate

of the number of species of moths has to await study of the material by specialists.

A preliminary evaluation of the species lists reveals that the ecosystems in the study area are

relatively complete, although presumably influenced by previous logging activities. Species

composition is rather typical for lowland rain forest in Borneo, including most of the common and

widespread elements. The area yielded none or very few species with extremely small ranges

(endemics of SE Borneo), although data of the region above c. 800 m are scarce.

Gunung Lumut Biodiversity Assessment 2005

Introduction

Four entomologists of the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, joined

the Gunung Lumut Biodiversity Assessment. Field work for the assessment was organised by the

Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia and the Indonesian office of Tropenbos International at

Balikpapan.

The Rapid Biodiversity Assessment was executed in the Gunung Lumut-Untir-Beratus extension

area in District Pasir, East Kalimantan. According to the proposal, the area of protection forest

covers almost 42,000 ha of relatively undisturbed dipterocarp lowland forest. The assessment

was carried out by a variety of organisations, such as the Primate Research Agency, local

community groups (PEMA Pasir) and Indonesian and Dutch institutes.

The main focus of the assessment was on the Telake and Kendilo watershed areas of District Pasir.

The objectives were to promote the management and conservation of Gunung Lumut Protection

Forest by increasing awareness among local people and wider public about the natural heritage.

This should be accomplished by

encouraging local stakeholders, particularly the local communities, to take active roles

in conserving and managing the area,

promoting partnerships between relevant stakeholders, contributing to the improvement

of the management plan for the Gunung Lumut Protection Forest,

support the establishment of this area as a Biosphere Reserve that reconciles economic

and social development and enviromenment protection.

The assessment team included scientists from the Netherlands and Indonesia for vertebrates,

insects, plants and fungi. The scientists were assisted by a group of c. 20 students of the

Agricultural University IPB at Bogor, and local porters and guides.

The Naturalis studies focused on insects, with special attention for moths, Microlepidoptera

(Erik J. van Nieukerken), butterflies and larger moths, Macrolepidoptera (Rienk de Jong) and

dragonflies, Odonata (Jan van Tol), while Eulàlia Gassó Miracle was joining the team as observer,

replacing Kees van den Berg.

Impression of the area and results

The area proved to be diverse in geological conditions, with both granite and limestone present.

The forest was selectively logged up to 600 m altitude about 30 years ago. Although the open

structure of pristine rain forest is lost at lower elevations, both flora and fauna seem to have

recovered to a reasonable extent. Vegetation above c. 600 m is largely undisturbed.

The following collecting methods were used during the assessment: butterflies and dragonflies

with insect nets, several families of microlepidoptera by searching mining larvae, dragonfly

larvae with aquatic net, moths and various other groups of insects by setting up light traps.

Lepidoptera were sampled in open and dense vegetation at various elevations, up to the top of

Gunung Lumut at 1200 m. Dragonflies were sampled between 150 and 450 m in all kind of aquatic

habitats, from seepage areas to the larger forest streams. The dark or even rainy weather on

various days negatively influenced the results of the study of butterflies and dragonflies.

The results proved to be satisfactory. The number of butterfly species encountered is more than

160. The knowledge of leave-mining moth-families, such as the Nepticulidae, in Southeast Asia is

still poorly developed, and significant new observations were made. Dragonfly diversity was less

than expected, both the number of species and the number of specimens was lower than usually

encountered in other parts of Borneo. It is unknown whether this has to be attributed to a

seasonal effect, to remaining effects of logging, or to the geological history of the area.

We suggest to carry out a short assessment for the same insect groups immediately after the

rainy season to reveal seasonal variations in species composition of the entomofauna.

Methods

The area was studied for selected groups of insects from 11 November until 3 December 2005.

We used the following methods to obtain our data

walking along forest trails and roads, while collecting butterflies using insect nets of c. 30

cm diameter,

walking along and through forest streams, and along standing waters, while hand collecting

of dragonflies using insect nets of c. 30 cm diameter,

searching for leaf-mines of Nepticulidae and other leaf-ming Lepidoptera, and rearing the

caterpillars,

aquatic insect larvae, such as Odonata, were collected using an aquatic net (Davis net),

setting up during the evenings white sheets with 160 Watt mixed light, or 16 Watt blacklight,

for collecting moths and other insects.

The insects were mostly preserved dry using silicagel, but tenerals, very small species, and DNA

samples of selected species were kept on 70 or 98% ethylalcohol.

Lepidoptera and other insects were collected around the basecamps of Prayan (Rantau Layung)

and Mului, the 'flying camp' on the slope of Gunung Lumut, near old Mului village, and also along

trails between Mului camp, the flycamp and the top of Gunung Lumut. Odonata were collected in

the vicinity of the basecamps. A full list of the localities with altitude and longitude/latitude is

presented in Annex 2, while Annex 1 presents the itinerary of the participants.

Specimens were preliminarily identified in the field, using names obtained from the literature

(partly available in the camps), or from knowledge of the scientists. Identifications of the

material should be confirmed in the Leiden museum by direct comparison with preserved

specimens.

Results

¶ Odonata by Jan van Tol

The area proved to be rather diverse in aquatic habitats. We encountered (a) larger, open

streams, (b) half-shaded forest streams, (c) smaller, fully shaded streams, (d) trickles and

seepage areas (shaded), and (e) standing waters. As already explained above, the Protection

Forest was selectively logged below 600 m about thirty years ago. Larger trees are, however, still

present near the streams, since no logging was allowed on the banks of streams.

A preliminary list of the species encountered per habitat is presented in Table xx.

Densities were generally low. Usually, temporary territoria of dragonflies and damselflies are

taken within minutes after a holder of a territorium is collected. We have seen several examples

where the territorium was not taken for many days after collecting a specimen.

Species of the genus Vestalis were common along all streams. Remarkably, all specimens were

males and no single female was seen during the full period of field work. For several groups with

many representatives in Borneo, such as Drepanosticta and Coeliccia, only one species was found,

which is very unusual.

¶ Some impressions of Gunung Lumut Protection Forest by Erik J. van Nieukerken

The moth fauna is quite rich, but detailed information is only possible after preparation and

identification of the material. Blacklight collecting gave sometimes better results, especially for

Microlepidoptera. The number of different sites for light collecting was probably somewhat

limited. Setting up automatic light traps in several places in the forest would be a good option

for a future expedition of this kind.

The fauna on Gunung Lumut at 650 m was quite different from the other camps, while also the

fauna of Mului and Prayan basecamps showed many differences. The two nights collecting in the

forest yielded probably the best results, and species composition was certainly very different

from the other sites.

The leafmining fauna of Indonesia is vertually unknown, so that comparisons are not possible. For

Nepticulidae and Heliozelidae several new hostplants, including new hostplant families, were

noted. The families Tischeriidae and Heliozelidae are probably recorded for the first time from

Indonesia.

¶ Butterflies (Lepidoptera) by Rienk de Jong

Observations were made from the camps located near Rantau Layung at the junction of the

Sungai Prayan and the Sungai Seranum, and along the road to Mului. The first location was visited

for nine full days (13-21 November 2005), the second location for ten (23 November to 2

December). The two locations differ in altitude.

The camp in the vicinity of Rantau Layung was located at an altitude of 160 m, and field work

was executed between 150 and 230 m. The altitudinal range at the second location was much

greater, from the Mului River at 255 m to the top of Gunung Lumut at 1215 m. However, few

observations were made above 670 m (flying camp of Mului) due to time constraints and

unfavourable weather conditions. Apart from the difference in altitude, it appeared that in the

Mului area disturbance of the forest was less than in the Rantau Layung area.

At both locations the available time was insufficient to get a reliable estimate of the total

butterfly diversity. Four to six new species were added to the list every day, and the increase did

not slow down during the visit, indicating that there were many more species around that were

not yet observed. Nevertheless, the difference in butterfly composition was more considerable

than could be expected by chance only. Below a list is given of the number of species per family.

Museum Naturalis Page 15

Page 17: Gunung Lumut

Gunung Lumut Biodiversity Assessment 2005

The numbers are approximate, since many identifications are preliminary only, and must be

checked by examination of the genitalia in the museum.

Table 2

Number of species per family for Borneo as a whole, for the two locations separately, and the the

two locations in the Gunung Lumut Protection Forest together.

Borneo Rantau Layung Mului Total GLPF

Hesperiidae 214 11 15 23

Papilionidae 45 10 10 14

Pieridae 42 18 11 19

Lycaenidae 377 17 25 34

Riodinidae 16 1 5 6

Nymphalidae 238 37 50 69

Totals 932 94 116 165

The table clearly shows that (a) the Mului area was richer in species, even if we keep in mind

that the locality was visited for one day more, (b) there are large differences between the

families in the number of species observed relative to the total number of species known from

Borneo. Particularly the Lycaenidae, with less than 10% observed, are underrepresented. This

may at least partly be due to their incospicuous appearance, partly also to their being more

restricted to particular habitats, and partly to chance as well, since particular attention was paid

to the Lycaenidae. It is unclear to what extent the time of the year may have influenced the

numbers.

Less obvious, but also visible from the table, is the difference in composition between the two

locations. In the Rantau Layung area 49 species (165 – 116, 50.2%) were observed that were not

observed in the Mului area. Reversely, the Mului area yielded 71 species (165 – 94, 61.2%) that

were not observed in the Rantau Layung area.
