Abstract

The amphibian^s lives are inseparable from the waters that aim to maintain the moisture of their body skin. The aim of this study was to compare the diversity level of amphibian species of the Anura Order in the Situ Patengan area based on the distance from water bodies. This research was conducted on three different types of communities, namely forest communities, tea plantation communities, and residential communities. The method used in this study was the Visual Encounter Survey with a combination of lines transect and Recce Walk. The determination of the research area was by purposive sampling technique. Identification was carried out at the site of research with an amphibious identification guide. The total number of amphibians obtained was 183 individuals from 11 species from 6 families. The level of diversity in forest communities was classified as moderate (2.02), the tea plantation community was classified as moderate (1.51), and the residential community was classified as low (0.78). The most common plots of Anura amphibians found was in the first plot at a distance of 0-50 meters from the water bodies in each community. It can be concluded that the level of species diversity is influenced by the distance from the water bodies.
