Abstract

A complete list of snake species found in Papua is essential for the conservation and management of these species in the future. This study provides a basic overview of the snake’s specimens deposited in the Laboratorium Zoology UNIPA (LZU) at Manokwari, West Papua Province during at last 15 years. In addition, these data are compared with specimens from the Muzeum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) at Cibinong, West Java. We recorded 30 species of snakes from LZU (36.1%), and 43 species from MZB (51.8%), of the 83 species reported by Allison (2007). Clearly much more collecting effort needs to be focused on Papua, as less than 50% of the known species have voucher specimens in a museum. Of the species on collection, Morelia viridis is the only protected species on Papua, while Lycodon aulicus is the only alien species. We also conducted a through investigation of prey content for each species using preserved stomach contents. We dissected a total of 93 specimens. Twenty-nine percent of the specimens contained prey items. We discovered four categories of prey items, whole body, body parts, shell, and hair.  The prey items belonged to the following four classes of animals: Reptiles (56%), Amphibians (16%), Mammals (19%), and Osteichtyes (9%).

Abstract

Laboratorium zoologi Universitas Papua (Unipa) memiliki berbagai spesies ular yang dikoleksi dari berbagai daerah di Papua. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pakan ular melalui observasi spesimen yang tersimpan di laboratorium zoologi dan kemudian menganalisa preferensi habitat ular berdasarkan pakan yang ditemukan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan teknik pembedahan saluran percernaan pada 93 spesimen ular. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pakan ular merupakan hewan dari kelompok Reptil, Amphibi, Mamalia dan Osteichtyes, dimana presentase pakan tertinggi dari kelompok Reptil, sebesar 55%. Berdasarkan pakan yang ditemukan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa Micropechis ikaheka dan Furina tritis adalah kelompok semifusorial, Tropidonophis spp. adalah kelompok semiakuatik, Laticauda colubrina adalah kelompok akuatik, Stegonotus spp., Achantophis spp. dan Leiophyton albertisii adalah kelompok terrestrial, Chondrophyton viridis adalah kelompok scancorial dan Boiga irregularis dan Dendrelaphis spp. Adalah kelompok arboreal.

The data were collected through open interviews to seven respondents. The Snowball sampling technique was used to determine the respondents. The respondents are all the people who hunt wild animals in the village. The data was analysed descriptively. The result revealed that there are 13 species of wild animals that have been utilized by the hunters and the community in Mubri Wariori. The wild animal is mostly used for household consumption, sold for cash and other usages. This knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation. The respondents have a good understanding of the Covid-19 disease cause and the possibility of some diseases coming from their interaction with wild animals. During the Covid-19 pandemic, market demand for wild animals has increased. Thus, the respondents hunt more frequent, from once a week to five times a week. However, the respondents do not wear protective equipment such as gloves and mask in the process of handling wild animals. The ways that according to the respondents are effective in killing bacteria and viruses are by washing hands and boiling the wild animals’ meat for a long time. Moreover, the respondents and the community has realized the importance of wild animals’ conservation and has implemented conservation efforts for the bird of paradise and turtles.

Abstract

Herpetofauna is a group of animal that make up the ecosystem and has an important role both ecologically and economically. Along with the fragmentation of ​​the Faculty of Forestry area at the University of Papua due to campus development, the diversity of the existing Herpetofauna may change. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the diversity of Herpetofauna and the habitat in the area of Faculty of Forestry at the University of Papua. The collection of data was carried out for one month using visual encounter survey with timed count technique. The results showed that there were 14 species of Herpetofauna consisting of one species of Frog (Platymanthis papuensis), ten species of lizards (Sphenomorphus muelleri, Sphenomorphus jobiensis, Emoia caeruleocauda, ​​Emoia jakati, Eutrophis multifasciata, Nactus pelagicus, Lemprolephis smaragdina, Cyrtodactylus sp., Gehira sp. and Hemydactylus frenatus) and three species of snakes (Micropechis ikaheka, Boiga irregularis and Candoia carinata). The most of Herpetofauna were found in the Arboretum Fahutan, seven species. Amphibians are only found at night while lizards and snakes were discovered both during the day and at night.
