Abstract

Research on the community structure of soil insects in oil palm plantations is essential for understanding insect composition and diversity, as well as their potential as bioindicators of ecosystem conditions. This study aimed to identify soil insect species, determine the Importance Value Index (IVI), and analyze the diversity level of soil insects in an oil palm plantation located in Talang Taling Village, Gelumbang District, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra Province. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling method with pitfall traps. Data were analyzed based on taxonomic composition, the Importance Value Index (IVI), and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'). The results revealed 810 individuals, representing 6 orders, 8 families, 16 genera, and 16 species. The species with the highest IVI was Paratrechina longicornis (50.88%), while the lowest IVI was found for Cicindela sp. (1.38%). A Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') of 1.87 indicates a moderate level of soil insect diversity at the study site. The high IVI of Paratrechina longicornis suggests that this species is dominant within the observed soil insect community. These findings demonstrate that the community structure of soil insects can provide insights into the ecosystem conditions of oil palm plantations, although additional environmental parameters are required to strengthen the assessment of the level of ecosystem disturbance.
