Abstract

Research on the distribution and diversity of herpetofauna in  Semarang State University needs to be done. This relates to developed of biodiversity conservation program in Semarang State University. The objective of the research was to analyze the distribution and diversity of herpetofauna in Semarang State University. The study was conducted in June to October 2010. The data of herpetofauna were collected by Visual Encounter Survey (VES). Time of observation made in the morning (8:00 to 11:00 am) and nigh time (19:00 to 23:00 pm). Data were analyzed using margaleft index for the Species Richness Index, Shannon Diversity Index (H ') for species diversity and Index of Equitability or Evenness Simpsons to determine the proportion of the abundance species. The results showed that 20 species of herpetofauna
(9 familiesand 3 order) were found in Semarang State University. The Species richness Index (DMg) was 3.98, Diversity Index was 3,84, and Eveness Index was 1,28. The most of species that we found are the member of Family Ranidae, Bufonidae, and Gekkonidae.

Penelitian tentang distribusi dan keanekaragaman  herpetofauna di Universitas Negeri Semarang perlu dilakukan. Hal ini berkaitan dengan pengembangan program konservasi keanekaragaman hayati di Universitas Negeri Semarang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis distribusi dan keanekaragaman herpetofauna di Universitas Negeri Semarang. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juni hingga
Oktober 2010. Data herpetofauna dikumpulkan oleh Visual Encounter Survey (VES). Waktu pengamatan dilakukan pada pagi hari (8.00 sampai 11.00 pagi) dan dekat waktu (pukul 19.00 sampai 23.00 malam). Data dianalisis menggunakan indeks Margaleft untuk Indeks Kekayaan Spesies, Shannon Indeks Keanekaragaman (H') untuk keanekaragaman spesies dan Indeks Pemerataan atau Kemerataan Simpsons untuk
menentukan proporsi dari spesies yang kelimpahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 20 spesies herpetofauna
(9 famili dan 3 ordo) ditemukan di Universitas Negeri Semarang. Indeks Kekayaan Spesies (DMG) adalah 3,98, Indeks keanekaragaman 3,84, dan Indeks Eveness adalah 1,28. Spesies yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah anggota famili Ranidae, Bufonidae, dan Gekkonidae.
