- Abstract:
- In the 1950s, Luciola ficta was abundant in Taiwan’s rural ecosystems. Since then, its field habitats have decreased rapidly due to agrichemical toxicity, light pollution, and habitat destruction caused by the cementing of irrigation ditches. The work presents the investigation of water quality on its field habitat and discussion about the influence of soil and water conservation structure (landscape revetment) on its number in Pingtung County of southern Taiwan. The result shows that the water quality of field habitat is suitable for the living of L. ficta. Two peak values of activity for adult L. ficta occur in November and June, and the most values of L. ficta appear after sunset 30~60 min. The number of adult L. ficta measured on soil revetment equaled about 3 times of which measured on landscape revetment. On the other hand, the soil and water conservation structure has quite obvious influence on L. ficta habitat. Therefore, the process for design and construction of soil and water conservation structure must take care of the field habitat of organism and reduce the habitat destruction.
