abstract
Information about dragonflies and its habitat in Ujung Kulon National Park is poorly studied. The objective of this study was to inventory the dragonflies community structure in various habitats in theUjung Kulon National Park and describe the contribution of habitat characteristics on the dragonfly communities structure. In this study, we surveyed the dragonfly communities in five locations,includes natural ponds, a shady small stream in the forest, and river habitat. We measured several habitat characteristics and analyzed its contributionto the variation of the dragonfly communities structure using canonical correspondence analysis. Twenty five of dragonflies species (classified into 2 families of Anisoptera suborder and 6 families of Zygopetra Suborder) were recorded in this study. Structure of the dragonfly community in among habitat type showed dissimilarity. Aquatic habitat type, conductivity, total dissolved solids, complexity of water substrate, the width of aquatic habitat, and canopy covering contributed to the variation of dragonfly communities structure. This study provided the new information about variation of the structure of dragonfly communities in various habitat types in this conservation area.
