Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park (MMRNP) is a protected area in the Philippines. The present study aimed to enumerate, update, document, and verify the endemic species of flora and fauna in MMRNP. Data were gathered from available literature, online published articles, and printed books on different explorations and research studies in MMRNP from 1...
Taking into account that amphibian, specifically Anurans (frogs and toads), are the most threatened group of vertebrates on the planet, a study of Anuran species diversity was conducted in Lake Duminagat, Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. Anurans were collected using random sampling, and the visual encounter techniq...
Labajo-Villantes Y, Cootes J, Luo Y-B, Nuneza OM. 2024. Orchid diversity across different forest types on Mt. Malindang, Philippines. Biodiversitas 25: 605-615. Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park is one of the most significant biodiversity and conservation areas and is considered a biodiversity hotspot. There have been many biodiversity studies on Mt...
Weevils are small beetles with long, narrow snouts which is a characteristic of insects belonging to the Curculionidae family. A study on the species composition of weevils was conducted in the northern part of Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park last February 2023. Field investigations were done using a combination of transect walk and opportunistic...
Tourism, if sustainably implemented, can greatly contribute to the protection and conservation of biodiversity and resources in Protected Areas (PA), such as Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park (MMRNP), in Misamis Occidental, Philippines. Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park is a tourism haven, rich in biodiversity with unique and majestic waterfalls, lak...
Calamansi or citrus x microcarpa is also known as lemonsito in other parts of the Philippines and calamondin, Philippine lemon, or Philippine lime to the rest of the world. Calamansi extract fights against Staphylococcus aureus, the most dangerous bacteria among Staphylococcus and a gram-positive, sphere- shaped bacteria that often causes skin infe...
Rivers are exposed to high human pressures with apparent effects on riparian organisms and other biological entities. This study was conducted to determine the effects of anthropogenic activities on the physicochemical characteristics and the distribution of macroinvertebrates in the riverine system of Misamis Occidental. Standard methods were foll...
In the Philippines, all local government units are mandated to provide responsive and effective public services. The agricultural services address the food security and nutrition issues in the country. This study determined the awareness, availment, and satisfaction of citizens on agricultural services provided by the local government unit of Ozami...
Trees are considered as critical indicators of forest's health and status which are essential for the continuous provision of ecosystem services. The inventory of trees in natural forests of the southern portion of Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park was conducted using a modified belt-transect method. All tree species with a diameter of 10 centimeter...
Mt Malindang is one of the key biodiversity areas in the Philippines. Comprehensive studies on trees including Ficus species were done in the northern part of the protected area. The present study determined the distribution, abundance, diversity, and importance of Ficus species in the two-hectare permanent monitoring plot established in the southe...
The Dipterocarp tree species are dominant in the forest ecosystem in Southeast
Asia, including the Philippines. Mt. Malindang and its forest ecosystems is
dominated by dipterocarp tree species. At present its population dwindle due to
timber poaching, land conversion, and other anthropogenic activities. This study
aimed to determine species abun...
Due to the increasing threats in Kapatagan Watershed, the local government declared that the area is in a critical state. Herpetofauna is a good bioindicator of the watershedhealth but it is poorly known in the area. Hence, a study of the species richness and endemism of herpetofauna in Kapatagan Watershed was conducted. Field sampling for amphibia...

The Linusas-Laburak Cooperative (LILAC) was organized for the generation, transmission, and distribution of potable water to hundreds of consumers in twelve upland barangays of Ozamiz City. Since the organization and installation of the water system, , there was no evaluation of the quality of water services and operations of the LILAC by their con...
Aquatic macroinvertebrates are affected by physical, chemical and biological conditions of the stream. Some of them are pollution-sensitive while others are pollution-tolerant. They are good indicators of stream health. This study was conducted to determine the status of Labo and Clarin Rivers using macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. Dip-net and...
The Philippines is a biodiversity-rich country with high percentage endemism of reptiles and amphibians. However, cave herpetofauna particularly in Mindanao, the country's second largest island, is poorly known. In this study, 19 caves in Mindanao were surveyed using the modified cruising method to document the herpetofaunal species present giving...
