Abstract

Despite an early description, the rhacophorid frog (Chiromantis vittiger (Boulenger 1897)) is relatively poorly known species. It has been found in several areas in the mountainous part of western Java, one of which is in the Chevron Geothermal Indonesia (CGI) concession area within Mount Halimun-Salak National Park. An ecological study of this species and its habitat was conducted in CGI from April to September 2008. The biological and ecological aspects of this tree frog such as morphology, habitat characteristics, breeding behaviour, and larval development are presented in this paper. This study found that the fertilised eggs hatch as free-swimming tadpoles. In addition, the availability of artificial habitat in the form of concrete ponds helps sustain the population throughout the year. We also report parental care in this species.

Abstract

As one of the centres of tourism in Bali, Gianyar Regency has undergone a rapid development rate which could threaten wildlife, including reptile community. This research was carried out in July to October 2014 to (1) analyse the reptile community on various gradients of human modified landscape, (2) determine the relationship between environmental character and reptiles, and (3) determine body size trend of generalist species along landscape gradient. Standard visual encountered surveys were used to observe reptile community in four human modified landscape (settlements, rice fields, farmland/cropland, and monoculture stands). We found 21 species of reptiles (n = 602 individuals) and the Shannon–Wiener index for diversity was 1.78. Reptile abundance tends to decline in increasing level of modification. Water sources and vegetation cover were positively correlated to reptile community, while disturbance factors (i.e. decrease in area size and shorter distance to settlements) give negative impact to reptile community. There was no correlation between body size of generalist species of reptile (Gekko gecko) and level of landscape modification.

Abstract

Study on human-elephant conflict was conducted in Aceh Province in August 2013−April 2014 to assess susceptibility of farms by crop raiding elephants. The locations were determined by selected areas impacted by elephant conflict including Cot Girek, Mane, Meureudu, Sampoiniet, and Pantai Ceureumen.  150 respondents was interviewed to  assess the variety of the commodity plant species cultivated by local community within study areas, species of damaged commodity plants,  species of undamaged commodity plants, and the planting system. There were 29 species considered as commodity plants cultivated by farmers. Moreover, 5 commodity plants were considered as high risk plants damaged by elephant including areca, banana, oil palm, paddy, and rubber. On the other hand, species considered as low risk or undamaged consist of cacao, coffee, chili, candlenut, and patchioli. Those low risk or undemaged commodity plants species have a potential to be promoted as elephant-friendly crop commodities in area adjacent to elephant habitat based on the analysis and the categorization of susceptibility of cultivated plants against crop raiding elephant. One of the problems of human-elephant conflict is crop raiding of village farms. It is assumed that elephants might destroy a particular species therefore  information on the species could assist farmers in selecting appropriate crop to be planted.  There is a risk that current polyculture and monoculture planting system used by farmers will not prevent farms from crop raiding elephants.

Abstract

The Nantu Forest in Gorontalo Province, Sulawesi, Indonesia holds one of the few remaining pristine habitats in the island. The reserve is surrounded by human habituation which provide opportunity to study the impact of forest lost on biodversity. In addition, data on Nantu mostly focused on big mammals, as there is no previous herpetofauna survey at the area. Sampling of amphibian and reptile was conducted in June 2013 and in May–June 2014 using Visual Encounter Survey method, glue traps and transect sampling in seven different sites at the eastern part of Nantu. We categorized four habitat types based on human disturbances: high disturbed habitat (HDH), moderate disturbed habitat (MDH), low disturbed habitat (LDH) and pristine habitat (PH). A total of 680 individual amphibians (4 families; 17 species) and 119 individual reptiles (9 families; 29 species) were recorded. Species richness and species composition for amphibians and reptiles differs according to the level of human disturbances. Low level disturbances habitat demonstrated the highest diversity of amphibians and reptiles, whereas as expected, high distubed habitat showed the lowest diversity. Anthropogenic pressures in forest will decrease species richness of amphibian and reptiles. Although most amphibian and reptiles will be able to persist in low disturbances habitat, forest-dependent species will be lost when pristine forests are disturbed.

Abstract

A preliminary to investigate the remaining population of Rote snake-necked turtle Chelodina mccordi in Rote Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur was conducted in 20th of May – 25 th of June 2005. Based on previously known turtle distribution and interviews with local people, we surveyed 105 locations in Rote Island. We found 35 locations in Rote island suitable for turtle habitat, in which based on interviews 26 locations were previosly known as turtle habitats but no turtles were found anymore during the last few years, and nine locations where turtles are still occasionally seen. Our survey yielded no sighting of terrapin, we only found one snake-necked turtles brought by harvester from Peto marsh. Threats to Rote snake-necked turtles are hunting, loss of habitat to agricultural conversion and polution from agricultural land, and grazing by herds. More survey need to be carried out, especially during rainy season where there are more possibility of finding this turtle.Keywords: Rote, turtle, habitat, conservation, Indonesia; Chelodina mccordi

Abstract

A research was conducted to identify and to descript nematode worm genera as parasite from gastrointestinal tract of local consumption frogs. Fifty five adult Fejervarya cancrivora and seventy Limnonectes macrodon were collected from three subdistricts in Bogor Residence; Caringin, Cibatok, and Cimanggis. The research was also carried out to quantify prevalence nematode that infest both of frogs and to observe relationship between prevalence level and resource area also spesies of its. Nematode generas which found in F. cancrivora were identified as Amplicaecum, Camallanus, Aplectana, Cosmocerca, Cosmocercella,and Spinicauda. The same generas infested L. macrodon for exception Camallanus. Fejervarya cancrivora nematode prevalence level was higher than L. macrodon in all subdistricts. Its prevalence level weren’t influenced by resource area. But, there was significant correlation between prevalence level and species of frogs (α=0,01 and α=0,05). The differences of gastrointestinal nematode infestation are related to differences in habitat and food type of frogs also life cycle of nematodes.Keywords: Fejervarya cancrivora, Limnonectes macrodon, Amplicaecum, Camallanus, Aplectana, Cosmocerca, Cosmocercella,and Spinicauda

Abstract

This paper is the result of eight months research since November 1994 -June 1995, which is a part of hroaderresearch for the writer's master (S-2) thesis (on preparation). Research in three aqutic habitat (water reservoir,mangroves, and the mangrove-swamps boundary) had shown that most of the Black Cormorant population foundin the water reservoir areas. The number of the cormorant population is time fluctuated, with the highest numberfound on the 4th week of April (144 bird$). Nineteen species of water birds and 2 species of fish eating teresterialbird were found, specifically 15 species of waders, 3 species of marsh hird , 1 species of seabirds and 2 species o lfish eating terrestrial birds. 'The number of species found relatively lower than the result of research$ conducted byMulyani and Pakpahan (1993) or Oni (1995) which were done on Febuary, March, April, May and August1994.The difference occurs because less area coverage and shorter observation time ( 12 hours in a day).

Abstract

The research on herpetofauna to be used as traditional medicine are still few compared to research on medicinal plants, especially in Indonesia. This paper discusses the characteristics of traders and consumers of medicine that derived from herpetofauna and also examines the perceptions of traders and consumers on herpetofauna conservation and their use as medicine. To compare whether there are different perceptions between consumers in Jakarta and Bandung, the Chi square test was used; and to find out whether there are influence of education and age on respondents' perceptions, the Spearman test was used. The results showed that most traders were dominated by men of productive age with a relatively low level of education. The traders are mostly Moslem, and originated from Betawi and Sundanese. Most traders have been in the business for more than 20 years.The consumers are also dominated by men and fairly even between Moslems and non Moslems. Consumers are generally Chinese and most of them are aged 35-39. The level of education of consumers is higher than the traders. No significant differences were found regarding the perception of traders and consumers in the two cities. There is a significant positive correlation between education level and perceptions regarding animal use regulations and animal protection regulations.

Abstract

Kodok buduk (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) merupakan jenis kodok yang umum dijumpai di perkotaan dan keberadaannya sering diabaikan. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis pemilihan pakan dari kodok buduk di habitat alamnya, kelimpahan pakan, lebar relung dan tumpang tindih relung serta mengetahui potensi kodok ini sebagai pengendali serangga hama. Analisis dilakukan pada 100 spesimen kodok buduk (50 jantan dan 50 betina) dari sekitar kampus IPB Darmaga, Bogor dengan cara pembedahan. Frekuensi pakan tertinggi di lambung jantan maupun betina kodok buduk adalah Ordo Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Blattaria, Diplopoda, dan Isoptera. Dari segi volume, pakan tertinggi adalah Blattaria, Coleoptera, dan Scolopendromorpha, namun berdasarkan densitas relatif pakan di lambung didominasi oleh Isoptera, Hymenoptera dan Coleoptera. Ordo-ordo yang disebut di atas termasuk hama yang merugikan manusia seperti kecoak dan rayap. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara ukuran tubuh dengan volume pakan, karena terdapat bias pada data spesimen yang diambil yakni dengan ukuran tubuh 60-90 mm atau ukuran dewasa. D. melanostictus adalah satwa oportunis, namun pemilihan pakan cenderung pada jenis tertentu saja sehingga menyebabkan rendahnya nilai relung. Jantan dan betina mempunyai komposisi pakan yang sama, sehingga tumpang tindih relung menjadi tinggi. Secara umum, kodok buduk penting sebagai predator hama di daerah perkotaan. Kata kunci: analisis kodok, kebiasaan pakan, musuh alami, sumberdaya pakan
