Reptilian Diversity in Selected Riparian Systems in Misamis Occidental, Philippines

Author(s) JONAS T. HINGCO
Country Philippines
Abstract Reptiles are one of the most ecologically important organisms in the ecosystem. Studying their diversity is important in the conservation of the habitats to where each of these reptiles live. This study aimed to explore the diversity of reptiles in the areas around and within Labo and Clarin rivers, two of the most important river systems in the province of Misamis Occidental. Three sampling techniques were applied, which are visual encounter surveys, opportunistic encounters, and road-kill encounters. The results recorded a total of 21 species, including eleven endemic species, with nine Philippine endemic and two Mindanao endemic. Most notable among the species recorded was Lycodon ferroni, which is the second documented occurrence of the species and the first outside Samar Island. Labo River has the highest species richness, abundance and percent endemism of the two riparian systems, with the upstream sites of both rivers having the highest species richness and percent endemism. Studying the nearby riparian areas using other sampling techniques is recommended to fully understand the extent of reptilian diversity in the province and to effectively implement conservation and sustainability programs for the preservation not only of the reptile diversity but as well as the riparian ecosystem.
