Bats (Chiroptera) play important ecological roles in tropical island ecosystems, yet information on their community structure in small island systems remains limited. This study aims to analyze species composition, abundance, and habitat associations of bat communities in Wakatobi. Field surveys were conducted in September 2023 across three islands (Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, and Tomia) using a combination of mist nets and roost observations. A total of 10 sampling points were established, consisting of 5 cave sites, 3 mangrove sites, and 2 terrestrial vegetation sites, with one mist net deployed at each point. Data were analyzed using diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener and Simpson), descriptive abundance analysis, and multivariate approaches including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and PERMANOVA. A total of 1,604 individuals representing five species from three genera (Pteropus, Rousettus, and Hipposideros) were recorded. The community was strongly dominated by frugivorous bats, particularly Pteropus pumilus (84.47%), which was primarily associated with mangrove and terrestrial vegetation habitats. In contrast, cave habitats were dominated by insectivorous species such as Hipposideros galeritus. Diversity indices indicated low species diversity but high dominance, especially in mangrove habitats. PCA results revealed a clear ecological gradient separating vegetation and cave habitats, with the first two components explaining 100% of total variation (Dim1 = 71.7%; Dim2 = 28.3%). These findings demonstrate strong habitat-driven community structuring and niche differentiation among bat species. This study represents the first assessment of bat community structure in Wakatobi using a PCA-based multivariate approach, providing new insights into habitat–species relationships in small island ecosystems. The results highlight the importance of conserving mangrove and cave habitats as complementary systems supporting bat diversity and ecosystem functions.

Cigarette smoke contains nicotine compounds (C10H14N2), tar and carbon monoxide (CO), which cause inhibition of Leydig cells, damage to seminiferous tubules and damage to spermatozoa cells. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-infertility effect of Zinc supplements on the quality of Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus L.) spermatozoa exposed to cigarette smoke. This research is an experimental study consisting of 4 treatments with 3 replications: Control (drinking water), P1 (14 mg/g BW), P2 (28 mg/g BW), and P3 (42 mg/g BW) Zinc. Exposure to cigarette smoke was carried out twice a day for 14 days in all treatments, and zinc was given for 14 days in treatments P1, P2 and P3. On the 29th day, mice were sacrificed by anesthesia using chloroform and dissected to observe the quality of spermatozoa with parameters of motility, viability and morphology. Data were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Varience) and the BNT test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that Zinc supplementation in treatments P1 and P2 significantly improved spermatozoa quality, whereas in P3 it decreased significantly. The conclusion of this study is that Zinc (Zn) supplements at a dose of 14 mg/g BW (P1) and a dose of 28 mg/g BW (P2) have an anti-infertility effect by improving the quality of rat spermatozoa that have been exposed to cigarette smoke. The results of this research can be important information for improving male reproduction due to exposure to free radicals from cigarette smoke.

Abstract. Ahmad SW, Erif LOM, Mukhsar, Adcu AS, Isnawati R, Indarwani Z, Fadilah, Karya A. 2025. Influence of Green Open Spaces (GOS) on bird composition and abundance in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 26: 5814-5823. One of the negative impacts of shrinking Green Open Spaces (GOS) and urban landscape change is the decline in biodiversity. GOS play a key role in maintaining biodiversity within rapidly expanding cities. In urban areas, GOS such as urban parks serve as habitats for birds despite high human density and altered land cover. Complex and diverse vegetation structures provide better habitat quality, and larger GOS connected to natural habitats tend to support higher bird diversity. This study examined the influence of GOS characteristics, area, vegetation quality, water availability, and connectivity with natural habitats on bird composition and abundance in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Eight GOS sites were surveyed, recording a total of 48 bird species, including 14 Sulawesi endemics, with total abundance ranging from 208 to 580 individuals per site. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) indicated that these habitat variables explained 12.33% of the variation in bird community composition, suggesting a weak but ecologically meaningful influence. While generalist species dominated smaller ornamental parks, larger, forest-like sites supported higher species richness and endemic representation. These findings highlight the importance of retaining native vegetation and ensuring water availability in urban planning to enhance bird diversity and support biodiversity-based management strategies.

The Napabale Lake Tourism Area in Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, possesses a unique ecosystem formed by the interaction between the lake and marine environments, supported by diverse vegetation that provides habitat and food resources for various bird species. Bird diversity across different habitats is important to study in order to understand community structure and its ecological potential. This study aims to identify bird species diversity and the composition of feeding guilds within the Napabale Lake ecosystem as a basis for ecological information and the potential development of birdwatching-based ecotourism. The study was conducted using the point-count method across three ecosystem types: lowland forest, lake riparian, and coastal areas. Observations were conducted in the morning (06:00–08:30 WITA) and afternoon (15:00–17:30 WITA), with three repetitions in each ecosystem over nine days of observation. Data were analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index and Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (nMDS) ordination analysis with the Bray–Curtis index. The results showed that a total of 696 individual birds were recorded, comprising 30 species from 7 orders. The highest number of individuals was found in the lake riparian ecosystem (293), followed by lowland forest (267) and coastal areas (136). The highest diversity index value was observed in the lowland forest ecosystem (H’ = 2.52), followed by the lake riparian (H’ = 2.51), and the lowest in the coastal ecosystem (H’ = 2.46). The composition of feeding guilds was dominated by insectivores (31%) and omnivores (24%). The nMDS results indicated overlap in bird communities across ecosystems, suggesting flexible habitat use. Habitat diversity in Napabale Lake plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the bird community and has potential for development as birdwatching ecotourism.
