Abstract

This study aims to determine the value of the arthropod diversity index in clove plantations (Syzygium aromaticum L.) in the Dampal Selatan District. This research was conducted in Lemba Harapan Village, Dampal Selatan District, Toli-Toli Regency, Central Sulawesi Province with a coordinate point of 00.711228N 120.224933E with an altitude of 178 Masl. Sampling is carried out using light traps and pitfall traps. The data analysis used was the Diversity index Shannon Winner (H^), the evenness index (E), and the richness index (R). The results showed that 865 individuals were obtained consisting of 3 classes, 8 orders, 17 families, and 19 species (morphospecies) with different functional roles. The results of the analysis of arthropod diversity in cloves showed moderate diversity, it can be seen that the index value of diversity (H) of arthropods was 2.099, Evenness (E) was 0.713, and richness (R) was 2.662 in the high category.
