Abstract

Way Kambas National Park (WKNP) is home of five protected big mammals including sumatran elephants.  It shares its border with 22 of 37 villages surrounding the national park.  Understanding their existence in the wild is a priority, and  wildlife genetics is a crucially needed. Besides poaching and habitat fragmentation, wildlife-human conflict is one big issue.  Elephant Training Center (ETC) in WKNP is built for semi in-situ conservation effort on captive sumatran elephants that mainly have conflict histories with local people.  Participative observation and bio-molecular analysis were conducted to learn the importance of captive Sumatran elephant for conservation effort.  Through captive sumatran elephants, database and applicable methods are expected to be developed supporting the conservation of their population in the wild.  Participative observation and molecular identification was carried on captive sumatran elephants in ETC, WKNP under multiple year Terapan grant of Ministry of Research and Technology Higher Education, Indonesia. Gene sequence and cytological analyses showed that the captive sumatran elephants are closely related and tend to be domesticated.  Translocation among ETC to avoid inbreeding, and maintaining the captive sumatran elephant as natural as possible are highly recommended. Developing genetic database can be a reference for both captive and wild sumatran elephants.

Abstract

Sumatran elephant is a subspecies of endemic Asian elephants on the island of Sumatra and is included in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with critically endangered status. The building of the Elephant Training Centre (ETC) in Way Kambas National Park (WKNP) is one of the conservation efforts of Sumatran elephants. Small and closed population size lead to an increased risk of inbreeding that triggers reduction in genetic variation and viability and increases the risk of extinction. The phylogenetic pattern of Sumatran elephants in Indonesia has shown a low population genetic diversity. Genetic diversity information is indispensable to support the direction of decision making in Sumatran elephant conservation policy. The DNA isolation of Sumatran elephants in ETC, WKNP has performed as a first step to trace its genetic variation. The advanced step of DNA isolation is the use of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for identification of genetic characteristics in Sumatran elephants. The COI gene is one of the genes on the mitochondrial genome and in molecular studies it is used as a genetic marker to study genetic characteristics between species and individuals. Identification and characterisation are done by sequencing process and data analysis in the form of electroforegram using Molecular Evolution Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software version 6.0. to see the genetic diversity of the female Sumatran elephant population in ETC, WKNP. Based on the results of the analysis it is indicated that the genetic distance of 24 individual female Sumatran elephant from PLG, TNWK is 0.000 with a homology value of 100%, strengthened by the construction of phylogenetic tree. The absence of genetic distance indicates a close genetic relationship, so it can be concluded all individual female Sumatran elephants in the PLG, TNWK is derived from one population group.

Abstract

Sumatran elephant Elephas maximus sumatranus is a critically endangered species under pressure of habitat fragmentation and human-elephant conflict (HEC) such as in one plantation and/or settlement area next to its natural habitat, Simpang Tiga Abadi, Selapan, South Sumatera.  Due to HEC, local people may experience economic loss and human casualty. Simpang Tiga Abadi is avillage, especially 5 sub-settlements directly close to the production forest area of PT. Bumi Khatulistiwa Mandiri, which is the natural habitat of sumatran elephants. The communities collaborated and company were formed an elephant watch group to monitor and deter sumatran elephants from entering plantation areas and settlements. On the other side, sumatran elephants entering the plantation may give some conservation support as indirect conflict mitigation approaches.   A non-invasive sampling can be done by gathering information on its fecal based genetic diversity and may become one of supporting sumatran elephant conservation efforts.   Under the Center for Applied Science Studies, Sriwijaya University project: "Genetic analysis of the sumatran elephant sub-population in its  habitat pocket in Sugihan- Simpang Heran, South Sumatra", Tropical Forest Conservation Action (TFCA) cycle VIII project, the significant role of local community affected by HEC on gathering information and fecal samples of sumatran elephant entering the PT.   Bumi Khatulistiwa Mandiri plantation was conducted.   Sumatran elephants’ fecal sampling involved the local communities affected by HEC. Its aim is to value the significance of local people’s involvement in finding and collecting dung left by wild sumatran elephants during entering both plantation areas. Data on areas were recorded, and its dung samples were collected for molecular analysis.  Collecting information and mapping the entry points of sumatran elephants were done supported by the Simpang Tiga Abadi community, consisting of sumatran elephant’s entry points, dung presence, individual numbers, and group activities, as well as the damage. Eighteen fecal samples of 5 entry points were collected in 5 days. By doing the assistance, the local communities learnt the benefits and important value of sumatran elephant and its dung.   This research is the first local communities’ indirect step in efforts to conserve sumatran elephants in Simpang Tiga Abadi Village, Selapan, South Sumatra.

Abstract

Background. Pigeons (Columba livia) belong to the Columbidae. Pigeons possess diverse ecological, economic, and aesthetic values, as they are monomorphic, exhibiting similar characteristics between male and female individuals, especially at a young age. Aims. In collaboration with the Lampung Disease Investigation Center, a study has been done to confirm the sex determination of pigeons at a young age by the PCR technique. Blood samples were taken in two locations, East Lampung and Kota Metro. Molecular análisis was carried out at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Lampung Disease Investigation Center. Methods. The technique includes DNA extraction, DNA amplification, electrophoresis and visualization. Result. It poses a significant challenge for pigeon breeders in sex determination. Blood is a source of genetic material that can be used to determine the sex of birds. The Chromo-Helicase-DNA-binding Protein (CHD) gene is one of the genes used as a marker to molecularly differentiate the sex of birds. The sex chromosomes in female individuals have heterozygous chromosomes (ZW) and male individuals have homozygous sex chromosomes (ZZ). Conclusion. Of eleven pigeon blood samples, there were seven female and four male individuals, and there was one mistake in the gender prediction by the pigeon owner

Abstract

Stingless bees are an abundant natural resource in various areas of the world. The utilisation of stingless bees is associated with their honey production. Therefore, stingless bees are widely cultivated in the community. The increasing number of cultivators also occurs in Lampung Tengah Regency. However, this increase in the number of cultivators has not been followed by research on the diversity of stingless bees, including based on their morphology. This research was implemented from May to August 2024. Explorative fieldwork was performed in Sido Mulyo, Punggur, Lampung Tengah. According to the findings of the exploration, samples were taken from seven different colonies. The samples were then observed on 11 morphological characters including (1) eyes, (2) forewings, (3) body colour, (4) thorax, (5) abdomen, (6) hammuli, (7) mesonotum, (8) mesoscutetellum, (9) propodeum, (10) hair on posterior hind tibia, and (11) elliptical disc on basitarsus. The observed samples are closest to the characteristics of species in the genus Heterotrigona (samples SK3, SK5, SK6, and SM1) and Tetragonula (samples SK1, SK2, and SK4) on the basis of morphological characters.

Abstract

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) genetic diversity is very important for breeding programmes aimed at increasing yield and adaptability. This diversity can be assessed through various morphological characters, especially leaf phenotype characters, which serve as indicators of genetic variation. This research was conducted from May to August 2024. Data collection was carried out by purposive sampling using the exploration and characterisation method of 30 coffee plants in the Traditional Coffee Plantation area, Bogorejo Village, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. Qualitative character data collection was carried out modifying IPGRI descriptors. Based on the data obtained, there were no significant differences in qualitative characteristics and quantitative characteristics of leaves on 30 coffee plants. This indicates a low genetic diversity in the plantation.
