Abstract

Since its establishment on 2004, Zoological Museum of Andalas University (MZUA) has been functioning as scientific institution, including deposition, maintaining and preserving vertebrate specimens in various forms. Round-skin technique for preserving avian specimen started to be used as preparation method since 2012, which brought novelty in learning its biological aspects. It provides more reliable taxonomical and molecular materials for future use, which was one of the endorsements for this technique. This article aimed to inventory the round-skin specimen of Passerines in MZUA by using descriptive method to examine their taxonomical and curatorial aspects. As many as 196 avian round-skin specimens have been catalogued until July 2016; 166 of them were from Passeriformes order (Passerines), belonged to 57 species and 14 families. Timaliidae was family with most members collected (67 individuals), followed respectively by Nectariniidae (20 individuals), Pycnonotidae (19 individuals), Muscicapidae (17 individuals), Turdidae (12 individuals) and mixed of other families (31 individuals). While the localities of collection were mostly centered on Central Region of Sumatra (i.e. West Sumatra, Jambi), a handful of specimens were collected from outside of the main island. A systematic effort to develop the collection and improve the representativeness of Sumatran avian species is continuously needed, not only to fulfill its scientific purpose, moreover to serve the conservation objective.

Abstract

Sungai Masang Kecil is located in the middle of the PT Andalas Agro Industri (PT AAI) palm oil plantation and mill. This activity will have an impact on aquatic biota, especially benthos. Benthos occupies an important position in the food chain and lives permanently on the substrate to be used as a bioindicator of pollution. This study aimed to determine the Community Structure of Macrozoobenthos and the indicator species of water pollution in the Masang Kecil River around the PT AAI area, West Pasaman Regency. This research was conducted using a purposive sampling method with three sampling points, namely upstream and two downstream points after the Wastewater Treatment Plant (IPAL) and after the confluence of tributaries. Sampling using Surber net size 30 x 30 cm. The results of identifying the types of Bento's organisms as a whole identified as many as 45 species. Most species are found in Class Insecta. Based on the diversity index, the water quality in PT AAI's river basin was classified as unpolluted, and it could be concluded that the benthic condition was in good condition on a scale of 4. In the current study, the Diptera order as an indicator of polluted water was most commonly found among orders from other insect classes, namely, ten species. However, there were nine species from the Order Ephemeroptera as an indicator of clean waters and six species for Trichoptera.
