Abstract

Javan Munia is one of the common species of birds that found in west area of Indonesia (Sunda land). This species is endemic to Indonesia (Lombok, Bali, Java, and South Sumatra). The large population, especially during the harvest season makes this bird became a major pest for agriculture. This research aims to determine the adaptive behaviors of Javan Munia that become major reasons of widely spreads and the influence of these factors to the distribution. Observations made in Kalibaru, Banyuwangi, East Java, which is a mostly agricultural area. Any form of behavior in the territorial area (nesting and courtship areas) and range area (where colonize and feed) were observed periodically in the past 12 months. Sunbathing is known as a activity that undertaken by many species of birds, including the Javan Munia. This munia has specific mating and nest construction behaviour. The development of Javan Munia is very quickly, in 40 days, child will become a new adult. Javan Munia is very easy to adapt to the surrounding environment, including the used of oil palm (Elais guineensis) fiber and paper receipts as nest material. There are a possibility of invasive occurrence to the entire island of Sumatra by this species. It is quite possible because of the opening of oil palm plantations and settlements continue, until Aceh. The spread possibilty to east end of distribution (Lombok) can occur up to Nusa Tenggara Island, because of short distances between the islands and similiar vegetation circumstances.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as one of the highest supplier on animal illegal trading, especially reptile. The objectives of this study are to reveal the preparation proccess of reptiles in the wholesaler and the flow of illegal trade through deep interview and observation in Kebumen Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The results showed that wholesaler did some specific processes towards reptile. As much as 289 reptiles were observed to be traded in various conditions. Dry season affect the amount of animal sold. Chinese Ratsnake (Ptyas korros) and Reticulated Python (Malayopython reticulatis) became the most traded commodity within reptile trading, and is reported to be exported to other countries. Trafficking of adult reptiles could threaten their wild population, yet the level of exploration and monitoring toward reptile’s wild population are still low.Keywords: Kebumen, reptile, trade, population, wholesaler

Abstract

The diversity of Butterfly in Coban Rais is one of the potential resources for tourism product diversification and development. The aims of this paper are to determine the magnitude of the butterfly potential as a form of tourism products diversification and development in a sustainable tourism industry. There are 107 species of butterfly that come from six families was found in Coban Rais waterfall. Some species have a very large population in a specified activity, such as mud-puddling and mating. Udara akasa has the highest potential to make colony and Cyrestis lutea is a species that have the potential as a major attraction in the mud-puddling activity. Sector 3, the location of riparian with sand and gravel, is the site of the largest butterfly visits. The dry season is the highlight of a butterfly visit in Coban Rais. Development of human resources is important for the tourism products diversification in Coban Rais, i.e. the butterflies observer and visitors services. We recommend establishing a breeding center for butterfly population recovery and educational goals for visitors.Keywords: butterflies, Coban Rais, product diversification.

Abstract

Hunting is the main support of life for the insectivores bird of the world. Through an understanding of Indigo Flycatcher behavior character, we compiled new information for the daily behavior of Indigo Flycatcher and Muscicapidae family in general. The study was conducted at 3 periods to interpret the effect of different seasons conditions: the first period (rainy season, 1 – 30 January 2015), the second period (dry season, 1-30 June 2015), the third period (transition season, 1 – 30 November 2015). The research station covers 3 research points (A=edge of the forest, b = garbage dump, c = dense forest. A canonical correspondence (CCA) was used to understand the significance of the interaction between the abiotic factors and season. Based on the observations, the transition of the season became the most preferred moment for Indigo Flycatcher. Indigo flycatcher hunts in a group, both singular and mixed. Point B is the most common location of Indigo Flycatcher hunting activity.
