Abstract

Currently, there are only 2 extant species of hippos including common (Hippopotamus amphibius) and pygmy hippos (Choeropsis liberiensis) . But in prehistoric times, there were several species. During  Pleistocene these species were known to migrate to Java Island from Asian Continent and the species was Hippopotamus sivalensis spp. In this regard, this study aimed to model the habitat of H. sivalensis spp., ecology, and biodiversity of Hippopotamus sivalensis spp. based on the fossil record. The model was developed based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method using the R statistical package. The results showed that there were 7 populations of H. sivalensis spp. that lived at various altitudes with an average of 177 m above sea level (95% CI : 123-232 m). According to PCA, there were at least 2 separate populations of H. sivalensis spp. One population occupies the forest while another occupies a habitat close to the coast. Currently the habitat for H. sivalensis spp. already changed. Based on habitat modeling, H. sivalensis spp. inhabit streams with submerged aquatic plants and shrubs and trees growing along river banks.

Abstract

Wetland ecosystems are important habitats for many waterbird species, including the IUCN nearthreatened Sunda Teal Anas gibberifrons, a species that inhabit wetlands in Indonesia. Muara Angke is one of few remaining wetlands located in Jakarta and has potential as an important habitat for Sunda Teal. This study aims to assess and model suitable habitat for near-threatened Sunda Teal in remaining wetlands in Muara Angke in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study areas include an ecotourism park, the western and eastern parts of the Angke protected forest, and the wildlife reserve. Remote sensing data and geographic information system (GIS) analysis were employed to assess Sunda Teal’s habitat suitability. Some environmental variables negatively influencing habitat suitability for the species include the presence of fishponds and settlements, and represent anthropogenic disturbance. In contrast, variables that may positively influence the species include the occurrence of gastropod and crustacea, both groups being known as food resources, and mangrove cover. The highly and moderately suitable habitats were estimated to form 32.36% and 23.48% of the total wetlands, respectively. In contrast, 12.17% was considered unsuitable for Sunda Teal. The ecotourism park had the most unsuitable habitats. In contrast to the ecotourism park, the protected forest, followed by the wildlife reserve, had more moderately and highly suitable habitats.
