Para ilmuwan dari Oxford University dan Tel Aviv University telah memperingkat reptil paling ' populer ' di dunia,
mengungkapkan spesies yang menangkap imajinasi publik dan menyediakan data kuantitatif berharga
terhadap perdebatan seputar prioritas konservasi .
Menggunakan data yang diambil dari Wikipedia , tim peneliti - yang terdiri dari ahli zoologi ,
geografi dan ilmuwan komputer - menemukan bahwa spesies menakutkan seperti komodo , buaya air asin dan king cobra yang membuat ketertarikan terbesar bagi pengguna situs .
Hasilnya diterbitkan dalam jurnal Biological Conservation .
Co -lead penulis John C Mittermeier , seorang kandidat PhD di the School of Geography
and the Environment at Oxford University , mengatakan : " Ada perdebatan dalam konservasi
apakah fakta bahwa kita sebagai manusia seperti spesies tertentu membenarkan melestarikan itu ,
terlepas pentingnya dari sudut pandang ekologi .

Top 10 most
popular reptiles (also the scariest...)

Summary:
Scientists have ranked the world's most 'popular' reptiles, revealing the
species that capture the public's imagination and providing valuable
quantitative data towards the debate surrounding conservation priorities.
..............................
Scientists from Oxford University and Tel Aviv University have ranked the
world's most 'popular' reptiles, revealing the species that capture the
public's imagination and providing valuable quantitative data towards the
debate surrounding conservation priorities.
Using data taken from Wikipedia, the research team -- comprising
zoologists, geographers and computer scientists -- found that fearsome species
such as the Komodo dragon, saltwater crocodile and king cobra were of greatest
interest to website users.
The results are published in the journal Biological Conservation.
Co-lead author John C Mittermeier, a PhD candidate in the School of
Geography and the Environment at Oxford University, said: 'There is a debate in
conservation as to whether the fact that we as humans like a particular species
justifies conserving it, regardless of its importance from an ecological point
of view.
'But although this idea of some species being "culturally
valuable" has been around for some time, it has been difficult to measure
and define. Whether or not we want to take these cultural variables into
account when shaping conservation policy, we need data to support those
decisions.'
The researchers looked at 55.5 million page views in the year 2014 for all
of the 10,002 species of reptile accessed in Wikipedia.
They found that venomous or endangered species, as well as those with
higher body mass or posing a threat to humans, tended to be more interesting
overall. There was also a bias towards species found in Wikipedia users' own
regions -- for example, the Japanese pit viper was top of the Japanese-language
rankings, while the green iguana was the most-accessed species among Spanish
speakers.

Para peneliti melihat pada 55,5 juta tampilan halaman pada tahun 2014 untuk semua 10.002 spesies reptil yang diakses di Wikipedia .
Mereka menemukan bahwa spesies berbisa atau terancam punah , serta mereka dengan massa tubuh yang lebih tinggi atau berpose ancaman bagi manusia , cenderung lebih menarik secara keseluruhan. Ada juga bias terhadap spesies yang ditemukan di daerah pengguna Wikipedia sendiri - misalnya, pit viper Jepang adalah puncak peringkat berbahasa Jepang , sementara iguana hijau adalah spesies paling - diakses antara pengguna bahasa Spanyol .
Top 10 reptiles accessed on the English-language version of Wikipedia in
2014:
1. Komodo dragon
2. Black mamba
3. Saltwater crocodile
4. King cobra
5. Gila monster
6. Cottonmouth (viper)
7. American alligator
8. Leatherback sea turtle
9. Nile crocodile
10. Boa constrictor
Taking all languages into account, the Komodo dragon was the most popular
species overall, with 2,014,932 page views in 2014 (3.6% of total page views),
followed by the common European adder and the saltwater crocodile.
Co-lead author Dr Uri Roll, from the Department of Zoology and the School
of Geography and the Environment at Oxford University, said: 'In the past we
could have carried out basic surveys of a few hundred or a few thousand
individuals to find out where their interest lay, whereas now we can do it with
millions of people for an entire class of organisms on a global scale.
Obviously there are limitations to using an online tool such as Wikipedia, but
there are lots of benefits too.
'One of the key questions in conservation is where to divert the limited
resources we have available. Do we prioritise rare or endangered species,
ecologically important species, or species that attract the most public
interest? The field is definitely split, but we're putting numbers behind some
of these ideas, and that's really important.'
Perhaps surprisingly, the study found that 'culturally interesting' reptile
species in Wikipedia were widely distributed across the reptilian tree of life.
If we only saved the top 5% of the most popular species in Wikipedia, we would
cover 67% of the 88 reptile families.

Mungkin mengejutkan , studi ini menemukan bahwa 'culturally interesting' spesies reptil di Wikipedia didistribusikan secara luas di seluruh reptilian tree of life. . Jika kita hanya menyimpan top 5% dari spesies yang paling populer di Wikipedia , kita akan menutupi 67 % dari 88 keluarga reptil .
John C Mittermeier added: 'Among more traditional conservationists there
may be the view that we shouldn't incorporate cultural values into decisions
about policy or funding. However, the fact is that whether we like it or not,
we already do -- how much funding do lions get compared with, for example, a
species of small snail that doesn't even have an English name, even if the
snail is more at risk of going extinct? The biases are already there.
'There's also an argument that the traditional thinking around conservation
hasn't quite worked, so we need to reframe our approach.
'Regardless of the point of view you take, having this sort of quantitative
data is critical.'
Although the study was aimed solely at gathering data, the researchers
speculate at the reasons behind the huge variations in public interest between
species. John C Mittermeier said: 'With notable exceptions such as the sea
turtle or Galapagos giant tortoise, species that are venomous or otherwise dangerous
to humans seem to capture people's imaginations more than others. The Komodo
dragon is found in a geographical area probably the size of a small English
county, yet it consistently attracts the most attention -- possibly because the
idea of the dragon is so universal in myth and folklore.'
Gonzalo Diaz, a computer science PhD candidate at Oxford and co-lead author
of the study, added: 'The network of online and cross-referenced information
repositories known as Linked Data has allowed us to gather information about
most known reptile species. We see potential in using data-driven approaches to
study the cultural impact of global species through their online footprint.
Wikipedia page-view counts are just one of many metrics that can be explored.'
The researchers plan to widen their study to include the entire animal and
plant kingdoms. There may also be scope to look at mentions of species in other
big data repositories, including newspaper archives or social media.
