Abstract

ABSTRACTCall characteristics of Limnonectes modestus (Boulenger, 1882) which is endemic to Sulawesi have never been described before.  The advertisement calls of two individual males collected from Nantu Wildlife Sanctuary, Gorontalo, northern Sulawesi were recorded in December 6, 2014 at air temperatures of 26°C.  Adobe Audition 3.0 software was used to visualize sound waves.  Advertisement call of L. modestus is very simple, which only has one type of call containing 1-6 pulses.  Pulse duration, pulse rate and call rate of the two individual males are very diverse, ranged between 21-56 milli seconds, 2.58 to 7.87 pulses/second and 0.09-1.16 call/second; but the frequency variation of call is very low, the lower frequency range between 515.6 to 593.0 Hertz (CV=3.1%), whereas the upper frequency range between 2179.0 to 2859.0 Hertz (CV=5.4%); the band width of the frequency range between 1616.5 to 2320.0 Hertz (CV=7.1%). Key words: vocalization, Limnonectes modestus, Nantu Wildlife Sanctuary, North Sulawesi

Abstract

Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) is a large-sized gecko from the genus of Gekko, which is most commonly found from South Asia, southern China, and Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, these species are common to inhabit human-modified habitat in Sumatera, Borneo, Java, Bali, Lesser Sundas, Sulawesi, and Moluccas. In recent years, the demand for Tokay gekko with high use-value in both national and international markets has increased, one of which is used for traditional medicine. This situation raised the concern on the decreasing of the wild population and the validity of captive breeding programs that produced a large number of individuals. Several reports had estimated millions of individuals have been exported from Indonesia either legally or illegally, however, the exact number never been reported. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the trend on the harvested Tokay gecko and its origin based on the source code information. The data were collected from government records, including specimens harvested from the wild and specimens produced from captivity during 2013 - 2018 (six years). The results showed that the legally exported specimens were sourced from wild (W) and captive breeding (C or F). The total numbers of individuals exported from the wild harvest are 97.146, and all export realization is below the wild harvest quota. However, there are the large numbers of individuals exported and declared as specimens produced from the captive breeding facilities (6.965.000 with source code F, and 1.236.000 with source code C). More importantly, the high level of specimens produced from captive breeding facilities is unlikely to match with the biological capacity of this species. Therefore, we predict that specimens labeled captive breeding were likely sourced from the wild.

Abstract

Exploitation freshwater turtle for local consumption, medicine, and pet in several parts in Asia caused the declining populations in the wild. The purpose of this study is to evaluate of turtle harvest that listed in Appendix CITES in South Sumatra and Central Borneo. We reported the trading network of the three most exploited turtle species in South Sumatera and Central Borneo. We visited the largest middleman in the two provinces and collect the data that comprises the harvest number, prices, trade flow, catching area, and the level of harvest for local consumption. During our survey in Sampit (Central Borneo) (one week in April 2019), we recorded 667 kg of turtles were sent to a middleman and harvested from Jemaras and Sembuluh district. This amount comprises 549 individuals of Cuora amboinensis, 173 Siebenrockiella crassicollis, and one individual of Cyclemys dentata. Contrary to that, in Palembang, we did not find any delivery of turtle from the hunters. However, 387 individuals of C. amboinensis and 132 individuals of S. crassicollis were found in a middleman pool. We also recorded that local people in Central Borneo consumption of turtle meat. The national quota of C. amboinensis in Central Borneo and South Sumatra are 1700 and 2000 individuals for 2019. The national quota of S. crassicollis in South Sumatra is 500 individuals, while Central Borneo does not have any quota for this species. The realization of these wild-caught turtles indicates an over harvesting beyond the annual harvest quota. Moreover, the two middlemen are indicated to carry illegal carapace trading, although the scientific authority recommended to ban the carapace trade.

Abstract

Huia masonii (Boulenger, 1884) or Javan Torrent Frog is one of the frogs that are endemic on the island of Java. The presumption of two different forms of Huia's morphology according to Manthey and Dezer’s publication makes a systematic study of these species among their populations necessary. In this study, a systematic study of H.masonii was conducted between populations with a morphological approach to determine differences in character between populations, taxonomic status and phylogeny between populations. A total of 111 adult specimens (62 males and 49 females) from each population with good condition were observed morphologically. Data analysis was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and UPGMA Clustering. The results of this study indicate that there are no fundamental differences in the characteristics of each population so that there are no characters that can be used as diagnostic characters. The absence of this diagnostic character also makes the taxonomic status of H. masonii morphologically unchanged. Besides relationship between populations is still close to one another morphologically

Abstract

Traditionally, the genus Philautus Gistel, 1848 contains small Rhacoporid frogs that lack vomerine teeth and a direct development tadpole stage. In Java, this genus consists of 3 species, including Philautus aurifasciatus, Philautus jacobsoni, and Philautus pallidipes. It is known that Philautus aurifasciatus and Philautus jacobsoni are sympatric species from Mount Ungaran and are morphologically difficult to distinguish. Therefore, information is needed through the phenetic characters of each population in the area to identify differences in their morphology. This study aimed to analyze the morphological characteristics of  Bush Frog Philautus spp. on Mount Ungaran in terms of meristic character through a direct field survey and comparison methods. Furthermore, it was conducted by observing 32 specimens of Philautus spp. from Mount Ungaran and compared with the Philautus aurifasciatus from Mount Gede Pangrango with 18 meristic characters. The results showed that Philautus spp. is similar to Philautus aurifasciatus in terms of their meristic characters. The results of the meristic analysis showed that Philautus spp. has a variety of dorsal colors from brown, purple, green, and gray with two types of patterns including patterned groups (resembling letters H, X, and V) and abstract. Furthermore, the throat, stomach, and lower thighs are granular with three snout shapes (protruding, round, and sloping). It has a loreal oblique tympanum and canthus rostralis. The forelimbs are not webbed while the hindlimbs are half webbed, and the inner metatarsal is an elongated oval in shape. Meristic analysis provides a basis for strengthening the taxonomic status of Philautus spp on Mount Ungaran, as well as information the distribution in Mount Ungaran.

Abstract

Roti buaya merupakan roti khas Betawi yang selalu muncul di upacara pernikahan masyarakat Betawi. Penggunaan roti buaya dalam upacara pernikahan masyarakat Betawi merupakan pengetahuan lokal yang sudah dilakukan secara turun-temurun. Simbol kesetiaan merupakan makna yang muncul dari roti buaya. Artikel inibertujuan untuk melihat integrasi pengetahuan lokal dan ilmu pengetahuan yang terlihat dalam penggunaan roti buaya dalam pernikahan Betawi. Karakter buaya dalam roti buaya dikaitkan dengan karakter buaya di alam. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui dua metode, yaitu wawancara dan studi literatur. Dari data yang terkumpul diketahui bahwa jenis buaya yang digambarkan dalam roti buaya adalah buaya muara (Crocodylus porosus). Karakter buaya yang dapat hidup di darat dan di air, ukuran buaya betina lebih kecil dari buaya jantan, merupakan karakter buaya yang digambarkan dalam roti buaya, dan sesuai dengan karakter buaya di alam. Simbol buaya sebagai simbol kesetiaan hanya sesuai ketika buaya ditempatkan dalam sistem kandang pasangan. Meskipun begitu, pemahaman buaya sebagai simbol kesetiaan tetap dipegang oleh masyarakat Betawi. Hal ini ditandai dengan penggunaan roti buaya dalam pernikahan yang bertahan hingga sekarang

Abstract

Baram River Frog (Pulchrana baramica) is a ranid species distributed in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and represents the sole species from the genus Pulchrana on Java Island. Cryptic species are commonly encountered within the amphibian group which can cause confusion in the identification process. Due to the broad distribution range of P. baramica and the frequent occurrence of cryptic species within the amphibian group, it is important to evaluate the taxonomic status of P. baramica. Therefore, we investigated the taxonomic position of P. baramica from three populations (Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java) and identified the interpopulation genetic variation based on molecular data of the 16S mitochondrial gene. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships using Neighbour Joining, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian Inference. The research results revealed that Pulchrana baramica is a monophyletic group and nested within a group together with P. glandulosa and P. laterimaculata. The monophyletic group of P. baramica consisted of four distinct lineages that molecularly showed interspecific genetic variation. Clade 1 represents the population of Sumatra and Borneo (Kalimantan), clade 2 comprises the population from Borneo (Sarawak), clade 3 consists of population from Java, and clade 4 represents the population from Sumatra. Further research is required with the addition of morphological and acoustic data as supportive evidence to obtain more extensive comprehension of species identification.

Abstract

The fanged frog, Limnonectes kuhlii, exemplifies the complexity of cryptic species. Though originally described from Java, subsequent studies indicate that L. kuhlii encompasses multiple lineages, suggesting the presence of several undescribed species. Suspecting the existence of multiple undescribed species within the L. kuhlii complex in Sumatra, we collected 17 specimens from Java and Sumatra. We extracted the 12S, tRNAval, and 16S mitochondrial DNA from these specimens for phylogenetic analysis using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods and for estimating time divergence. Our findings uncovered two novel diversity within the L. kuhlii complex both in Sumatra and Java. Furthermore, our estimation of time divergence suggests that the diversification of L. kuhlii in Java and Sumatra was influenced by geological and climatic events, including landmass emergence and sea-level fluctuations. In conclusion, our research provides critical insights into the evolutionary complexity and diversity of the L. kuhlii complex in Sumatra and Java. While our molecular evidence suggests novel diversity, further comprehensive morphological studies are imperative to confirm and describe these potential new species. Furthermore, additional sampling across its range and deeper investigations integrating both molecular and morphological data are crucial.
