Ordo Anura in Jember University

Abstract

ome types of Anura have a narrow range of environmental parameters. They can’t survive in environments where natural conditions change dramatically. Therefore, Anura has the potential to be a good environmental bioindicator. The purpose of this research was to identify the types of Anura found at Jember University. This research is included in the survey research using direct observation method VES (Visual Encounter Survey). Observations were made of adult members of the Anura Order. Data taken includes species characteristics, abiotic factors such as temperature and humidity, and activity when found. The results showed at Jember University there were four species from 3 family members of the Anura order, namely Duttaphrynus melanostictus Schneider, 1799 (Bufonidae), Polypedates leucomystax Gravenhorst, 1829 (Rhacophoridae), Fejervarya limnocharis Gravenhorst, 1829 (Dicroglossidae), and Occidozyga sumatrana Peters, 1877 (Dicroglossidae). The species most commonly found was Duttaphrynus melanostictus in almost every observed location. Environmental factors that support the existence of Anura members are temperature and humidity.
