Abstract

Human-crocodile conflicts (HCC) are problems affecting crocodile conservation. Scientific publications on crocodile attack cases in Indonesia are few with low validation which hinder optimal conflict mitigation efforts. The estuarine river of Kutai National Park is a natural habitat for saltwater crocodiles and mostly nearby dense settlements. This study aims to map the distribution of saltwater crocodiles and potential conflicts in the Kutai National Park area. To predict the distribution of saltwater crocodiles, we used Maximum Entropy MAXENT with its environmental predictors i.e. slope, altitude, distance from shore, distance from river, temperature, and habitat types (mangrove forest, freshwater swamp, and shrubs). MAXENT prediction showed that elevation was the most influential variable with AUC (Average Under Curve) value of 0.952. Settlements with activities occurring within one kilometer from the river and those adjacent to coastal areas proved to be the highest in human conflicts with crocodiles.

Abstract

Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park (105.194 ha) in Southeast Sulawesi is one of the important conservation areas in Wallacea. This study aimed to measure the diversity of herpetofauna, relative abundance and community similarity in four different habitats. Survey were conducted in January-April 2018 using Visual Encounter Survey (VES) based on time and transects in savanna, riparian, lowland forest, and mangrove. Forty-two species from 17 families were found consisting of 10 species of amphibians and 32 species of reptiles, in which 9 species are endemic i.e. Papurana celebensis and Draco beccarii. The highest diversity (H’) and evenness (E) indexes was found in lowland forest (H’ = 2.497, E = 0.555). The most abundant amphibian was Limnonectes modestus with 85 individuals (23.8%), while the most abundant reptile was Crocodylus porosus with 24 individuals (6.7%). The similarity of communities between the four habitats was low (<0.5), indicating that most species are specialists on particular habitats. Although diversity was relatively low in Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park, high endemism warrants ongoing efforts to conserve amphibians and reptiles in this national park.

Abstract

Development and habitat loss in Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Area affected snakes and forced them to adapt in urban areas. Snakes in residential areas might increase encounter rate with humans which lead to human-snake conflict. The objectives of this research were to identify the diversity of snakes in residential areas based on rescue effort and to documents effort of those organizations on how to mitigate human-snake conflict through snake relocation. From 2015-2019, 37 snake species were reported found around residential areas in Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Javan spitting cobra Naja sputatrix and reticulated python Malayopython reticulatus are the most encountered snakes in residential areas. Jakarta has the highest total encounter of snakes compared to other area but Bogor has the highest diversity of snake species. Snake found in residential areas are sometimes “rescued” by snake reptile enthusiasts who formed a group. Most of these group does not have standard operating procedure when rescuing snake. Human-snake conflict can be mitigated by relocation of snakes, education, and translocation, although the impact of translocation should be evaluated further.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBatik pythons (Python reticulatus) is one of reptiles currently getting international concern due to their high exploitation as export commodity. Excessive exploitation may threaten the stability of the population in the wild. The research of morphological characteristics of batik python conducted in North Sumatra was aimed to identify the characteristics of harvested P. reticulatus that has been processed at the slaughterhouses to predict changes in population structure in the wild. The data observed and analyzed were number of harvest, sex, sex ratio, morphometry, age class, reproductive maturity and feed type. Sex ratio from 272 specimens analysed from the slaughterhouse was 1: 0.86, or 53.68% males and 46.32% females, age class juvenileOf 29.04% with sex ratio of 1: 0.42 and adult of 70.96% with sex ratio of 1: 0.93. Mean snout vent length (SVL) of harvested Reticulated python was 272.67 cm (SD = 37.76). There was a significant difference in SVL between males (mean = 267, SD = 37.04) and females (mean = 278, SD = 37.91) at the same age class (p = 0.019). Results of this study support the conclusion of previous studies that commercial skin trade does not terminate the population of reticulated python in Indonesia. However, the tendency of smaller body size of harvesting python compared to previous studies indicates the possibility of excessive harvesting.Keywords: Harvested characteristics, Python reticulatus, SVL, North Sumatra ABSTRAKUlar sanca batik (Python reticulatus) adalah salah satu jenis ular yang pemanenannya dijadikan komoditas ekspor. Eksploitasi yang berlebihan dikhawatirkan akan mengancam kestabilan populasinya di alam. Penelitian karakteristik morfologi ular sanca batik yang dilakukan di Sumatera Utara ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik P. reticulatus hasil panenan yang diolah di tempat pemotongan untuk menduga perubahan struktur populasinya di alam. Data yang diamati dan dianalisis adalah jumlah panenan, jenis kelamin, sex ratio, morfometri, kelas umur, kematangan reproduksi, dan jenis pakan. Selama penelitian teridentifikasi 272 ekor P. reticulatus, 146 ekor jantan dan 126 ekor betina. Sex rasio dari 272 ekor P. reticulatus yang dibedah adalah 1 : 0,86 atau 53,68% jantan dan 46,32% betina, kelas umur juvenile 29,04% dengan sex rasio 1 : 0,42 dan dewasa 70,96% dengan sex rasio 1 : 0,93. Rerata SVL P. reticulatus yang dipanen adalah 272.67 cm (SD = 37,76). Berdasarkan jenis kelamin maka terdapat perbedaan antara ukuran SVL jantan (rerata = 267, SD = 37,04) dan betina (rerata = 278, SD = 37.91) pada kelas umur yang sama (t270 = -2,363, p = 0,019). Ukuran testis terbesar jantan matang kelamin (n = 63) pada ukuran SVL 335 cm dan ukuran folikel terbesar betina matang kelamin (n = 22) terdapat pada betina ukuran SVL 329 cm. Pada 272 ekor P. reticulatus yang dibedah, diperiksa saluran pencernaannya, 261 ekor tidak ditemukan sisa pakan. Hasil penelitian ini mendukung penelitian sebelumnya yang menyimpulkan bahwa perdagangan kulit komersial tidak memusnahkan populasi P. reticulatus di Indonesia, namun demikian ukuran tubuh panenan yang lebih kecil dari penelitian sebelumnya memberikan sinyal kemungkinan terjadinya panenan berlebih.Kata kunci: Karakteristik panenan, sanca batik, SVL, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Indonesia have high diversity of Amphibians. Amphibians have an important role in ecosystem and produce many bioactive peptides. However, the genetic information of amphibians from Indonesia is very limited, especially Duttaphrynus melanostictus and Phrynoidis asper. The aims of this study are to determine the nucleotide sequence of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) from D. melanostictus and P. asper, to analyze their genetic diversity and their phylogenetic relationship. A total 668 base pairs of COI gene fragment were successfully amplified and their nucleotide sequence determined. P. asper (5 haplotypes) samples group have high haplotype diversity compared to D. melanostictus (1 haplotype). The results of Basic Local Alignment Search Tools (BLAST) to the NCBI and BOLD database, showed 99 % - 100 % identity to sequence of D. melanostictus. For the sequence of P. asper showed 99.23 % identity to sequence P. asper in BOLD database. There was no sequence of COI gene of P. asper in NCBI database. Genetic relationship among species in family Bufonidae, indicated that D. melanostictus has closer relation to P. asper than to another species, inspite of their pharapyletic characteristic. For intern species relationship of D. melanostictus, the data showed that D. melanostictus from Bogor have closer relationship to D. melanostictus from India than D. melanostictus from China.

Abstract

Antimicrobial peptides in skin secretions of toads is a promising methods to combat a wide spectrum of bacteria. Histone H2A is a type of DNA-binding protein that acts as a precursor for several antimicrobial peptides. In toads (family Bufonidae) buforin I and buforin II are examples of antimicrobial peptides that derived from histone H2A. This study investigated the genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis and in silico prediction of antimicrobial peptides derived from histone H2A of Duttaphrynus melanostictus and Phyrinoidis asper, which were collected from Bogor Agricultural University’s campus area. A new set of primers (Buf_fwd and Buf_rev) were designed by using PrimerBLAST, to amplify 393 nucleotides of the histone H2A gene that codes 131 amino acids. Haplotype diversity of both species are very low. Phylogenetic analysis shows the sample D. melanostictus and P. asper are separated to each other in two different clades. Several short predicted peptides from histone H2A show a potential as an antimicrobial peptides based on in silico prediction. Psychochemical characteristics and 3D structure of potent antimicrobial peptides are described.

Abstract

Sea turtle has been widely consumed in Bali since the 1970s mostly for religious activities.  After many international critics, various stakeholders (governments, NGOs, environmentalists and Balinese people) developed the so-called “turtle conservation centre” as means to conserve sea turtles. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of those conservation efforts by evaluating the conservation activities of each conservation centres. We visited five sea turtle conservation centres in Bali; all were named as captive breeding centres or farm. The captive breeding centre is misleading as there is no activity related to captive breeding, mostly hatchery. Some of the eggs were not even originated from Bali, and the centres were sometimes used as the source for sea turtle for religious purposes. Based on the scoring, only one centre is active in terms of conservation. Turtle conservation program in Bali should increase their in situ program, i.e. mapping and protecting the nesting habitat and conducting regular monitoring of nesting turtle.

Abstract

Despite an early description, the rhacophorid frog (Chiromantis vittiger (Boulenger 1897)) is relatively poorly known species. It has been found in several areas in the mountainous part of western Java, one of which is in the Chevron Geothermal Indonesia (CGI) concession area within Mount Halimun-Salak National Park. An ecological study of this species and its habitat was conducted in CGI from April to September 2008. The biological and ecological aspects of this tree frog such as morphology, habitat characteristics, breeding behaviour, and larval development are presented in this paper. This study found that the fertilised eggs hatch as free-swimming tadpoles. In addition, the availability of artificial habitat in the form of concrete ponds helps sustain the population throughout the year. We also report parental care in this species.

Abstract

Kalimantan merupakan salah satu pulau yang memiliki kekayaan hayati tinggi di Indonesia, namun kebanyakan laporan mengenai kekayaaan jenis reptil dan amfibi berada di dalam kawasan konservasi seperti Taman Nasional. Penelitian mengenai keanekaragaman reptil dan amfibi dilakukan di habitat akuatik dan terestrial dalam kawasan lindung Sungai Lesan di Berau, Kalimantan Timur pada bulan Juli-Agustus 2010. Pengumpulan data reptil dan amfibi dilakukan dengan metode Visual Ecounter Survey (VES) dimodifikasi dengan Time Search dan Line Transect (400 meter). Jumlah keseluruhan reptil dan amfibi yang ditemukan pada lokasi penelitian yaitu 31 reptil dan 31 jenis amfibi. Dari 31 jenis reptil yang diperoleh, terdiri dari dua ordo yaitu squamata dan testudines serta 9 famili dengan 2 jenis yang termasuk dalam kategori rentan (VU: Vulnerable) daftar merah IUCN dan appendix II CITES yaitu kura-kura punggung datar (Notochelys platynota) dan bulus (Amyda cartilaginea). Pada amfibi, diperoleh lima famili dua jenis masuk kategori hampir terancam (NT: Near Threatened) dalam daftar merah IUCN. Keberadaan herpetofauna ini didukung oleh adanya berbagai mikrohabitat karena berkaitan dengan pola aktivitas dan sebaran ekologis. Perlindungan kawasan ini sangat penting mengingat makin meningkatnya desakan perubahan kawasan hutan untuk peruntukan lain.Kata kunci: Herpetofauna, Kalimantan, kekayaan jenis, hutan lindung.
