Abstract Drainage ditches play a key role in the conservation of fragmented landscapes by providing refuge sites and secondary habitats for many terrestrial aquatic organisms across various taxa. Species richness can exceed that adjacent natural habitats, but here, we looked further assessed drainage shaping community structure true bugs aiming to better estimate ditches’ value from point their species trait composition. We tested effects ditch substrate (saline, sandy or fen), landscape matrix (agrarian grassland) vegetation (species all plants invasive plants, abundance woody plants) on bug communities 60 lowland East-Central Europe. found contributed most determining communities. Based composition, different substrates types had distinct communities, composition showed differentiation according saline only. The was more diverse grassland than agrarian ones, which hosted habitat generalists associated with vegetation. concluded pronounced gradient stress, originating salinity aridity, causes based Additionally, intense stress increases number specialists ditch.

Perkebunan kelapa sawit selama ini selalu melekat dengan isu degradasi ekosistem, baik secara biotik maupun abiotik. Serangga sebagai salah satu faktor dalam ekosistem kerap memiliki peran penting seperti agen penyerbukan dan pembenah tanah. Penelitian mengeksplorasi pengaruh jarak antara kebun hutan terhadap keanekaragaman serangga permukaan menggunakan metode pitfall trap untuk mengumpulkan sampel menganalisis kekayaan, keanekaragaman, kemerataan, kesamaan ekosistem. Ditemukan bahwa perbedaan dampak kelimpahan, komposisi, serangga. Ekosistem ecotone, yang berada pada terdekat hutan, menunjukkan kelimpahan kekayaan lebih tinggi dibandingkan sawit. Kondisi menciptakan nilai di kedua tersebut. Meskipun demikian, juga dapat membatasi pergerakan antar Hasil dari penelitian memberikan pemahaman baru tentang memahami dinamika ekologi berkontribusi perencanaan konservasi efektif.
