Abstract. Kusmoro J, Mayawatie B, Budiono R, Noer IS, Permatasari RE, Nurwahidah A, Satriawati R, Arum D, Saragih DE, Widya R, Jatnika MF, Makarim A, Partasasmita R. 2019. Short Communication: Species diversity of corticolous lichens in the arboretum of Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1606-1616. The lichen flora of tropical areas is still much under explored, Java in general and the Arboretum in West Java in particular, are no exceptions. The Arboretum of the main campus of Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia is representative of a typical man-made lowland tropical rain forest ecosystem in Java. It is planted with peculiar and rare species of plants, such as Antidesma bunius, Syzygium cumini, Durio zibethinus, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Tectona grandis, Albizzia falcataria, Swietenia mahagoni, Alstonia scholaris, Jatropha multifida, Sterculia foetida, Diospyrus blancoi, Hura crepitans and Rauvolfia serpentina. We explored the lichen flora of this Arboretum using species of corticolous macrolichens as indicator taxa. Lichen survey was performed by exploring the different zones, such as zones for rare species, industrial plants, medicinal plants and fruit plants. Lichen diversity on 23 trees spread in 12 ha area was documented based on morphological and anatomical features, and also chemical tests. A total of 68 species of lichens, distributed in 38 genera and 12 families, were enumerated during the study. The crustose and foliose forms contributed 62% (42 species) and 37% (25 species) of the total species, respectively. Graphidaceae with 28 species and Parmeliaceae with 15 species were the dominant families, which together constituted more than 50% of the lichen populations. Graphis librata and Parmeliopsis sp. were the dominant and co-dominant species and Drinaria picta was another common species.

Abstract. Iskandar J, Iskandar BS, Mulyanto D, Alfian RL, Partasasmita R. 2020. Traditional ecological knowledge of the bird traders on bird species bird naming, and bird market chain: A case study in bird market Pasty Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 2586-2602. The bird-keeping in Indonesian society has been popular for a long time. Because the demand for birds has increased in an urban area, plenty of bird species are predominantly traded in urban bird markets. Bird market is a place for selling and buying various birds. The rise of bird trade in the bird markets in many regions of Indonesia has provided social and economic benefits for many people. But in addition to providing many benefits, the plentiful bird trade in bird markets that are not well managed is very worrying about the extinction of various bird species in rural ecosystems. This paper aimed to elucidate the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of bird traders on bird species traded, bird naming and folk classification of bird species, and market chain system based on a case study in bird market of Pasty, Yogyakarta. The method used in this study was a qualitative method with the ethnoornithological approach. The results of the study showed that it was documented 106 bird species representing 40 families traded in the Pasty bird market. The common local names and folk bird classification are culturally based on bird vocalization, special colors, morphological characteristics, special habitats, involvement in bird song contests, flying racing competitions, selling prices, and wilderness. Most wild and semi-bird species are traded in the Pasty bird market are predominantly supplied from a rural ecosystem.

Abstract. Nurruhwati I, Ardiansyah F, Yuniarti, Yuliadi LPS, Partasasmita R. 2020. Benthic foraminifera as ecological indicators in the Tunda Island Waters Serang District, Banten Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3142-3148. Coral reef communities all across Southeast Asia are experiencing intense pressures from extensive tourism and massive coastal development. A prediction regarding coral reefs’ capacity to recover is a necessity since it is constantly exposed to damaging events such as mass bleaching and increased erosion. Tunda Island (which is highly rich in biodiversity and include coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass, and algae meadows) was sampled at 10 different sites in August 2019. Coral reefs are highly influenced by ecological factors such as temperature variability, salinity, DO, and pH. The assessments were conducted using the FORAM Index (FI) to accurately predict the capacity of coral reefs to recover based on relative abundances of symbiont-bearing larger benthic foraminifera in reef sediments. The FI values ranged from 3.7 to 7.9 with a median of 4.7 and the average of 5 indicates that the water quality should support the recovery of reefs by reef-building corals and symbiont-bearing larger benthic foraminifers. The lowest FI value sampled was recorded from a site with extensive human activities (FI=3.4), while the highest one was recorded from a site with minimal to none human activities (FI=7.9), which indicates that the deterioration of water quality is caused by wastes from tourism activities near the coastal area.
