Abstract
The rise of hornbill hunting and deforestation that occurred in Indonesia, especially the island of Sumatra lately, threatening the preservation of these birds in nature. The purpose of this study was to determine thediversity of hornbill species in the Way Canguk Research Station, Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The method used in this study is a transect line with a total of 18 line transects. The data obtained was processed using the Shanon wienners diversity index formula, then translated with descriptive analysis. A total of 5 types of hornbills found in these locations are rhinoceros hornbills (Buceros rhinoceros), helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil), wreathed hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus), bushy crested hornbill (Anorrhinus galeritus) and white crowned hornbill (Berenicornis comatus), with a species diversity index value of 1.00 included in the low category and the evenness of the species is a stable with an evenness index value of 0.62. The highest abundance of hornbills is (Anorrhinus galeritus) a beside that hornbills can be found in almost all transect lines.
Highlights
Maraknya perburuan burung rangkong serta deforestasi yang terjadi di Indonesia khususnya Pulau Sumatera akhir-akhir ini, mengancam kelestarian burung tersebut di alam
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui keragaman spesies burung rangkong yang ada di Stasiun Penelitian Way Canguk Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan
Kelimpahan spesies burung rangkong yang tertinggi adalah enggang klihingan (Anorrhinus galeritus) selain itu rangkong bisa ditemukan hampir diseluruh jalur transek
Summary
Spesies burung rangkong (Bucerotidae) yang ditemukan adalah sebanyak 5 spesies yaitu rangkong badak (Buceros rhinoceros), rangkong gading (Rhinoplax vigil), julang mas (Rhyticeros undulatus), enggang klihingan (Anorrhinus galeritus) dan enggang jambul (Berenicornis comatus). Indeks keanekaragaman burung rangkong (Bucerotidae) di lokasi tersebut termasuk ke dalam kategori rendah dengan nilai indeks sebesar 1,00 dan Indeks kemerataan spesies rangkong masuk dalam kategori perseberan spesies stabil dengan nilai indeks sebesar 0,62. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada Tabel 1. Indeks Keanekaragaman dan Indeks Kemerataan jenis Burung Rangkong (Bucerotidae) di Stasiun Penelitian Way Canguk TNBBS
