Abstract

Asian grass frog Fejervarya limnocharis is being utilized as pets, for laboratory experiments, for a mixture of traditional medicine and for cuisine. The harvest of F. limnocharis in high volume can threat its population. Biological data such as the age when the specimens are harvested is valuable information to manage the harvesting system in sustainable way. We conducted the skeletochronology technique using paraffin methods and hematoxylin staining from 69 samples (46 males, 21 females, 2 juveniles). The results showed that the age harvested male ranged from 1 to 3 years old, while the female ranged from 2 to 3 years old. The snout-vent length (SVL) of harvested specimens ranges between 39.84−52.37 mm for both sexes. We propose an intervention in the harvesting system by limitation of the size for harvested specimens to at least 46 mm. In this minimum size, individuals of F. limnocharis have reproduced several times and have contributed to the  population in the wild.

Abstract

A new species of frog in the genus Microhyla is described from Sumatra, Indonesia based on molecular and morphological characters. This new species was previously confused with M. achatina, a Javan endemic. This new species is diagnosable from its congeners by possessing a medium size (SVL in adult males 18.20–21.32 mm, in adult females 20.37–25.51 mm), a stout body, a nostril–eyelid length being about half of the snout length, having a single outer palmar tubercle, a tibiotarsal articulation reaching the center of the eye (when the hindlimbs are stretched and adpressed to the body), having finger and toe tips dilated, having the dorsum with medial longitudinal grooves, and excibiting a very thin and short dark stripe on the temporal region above a wider cream stripe, extending from the postorbital area to insertion of forelimb. Additionally, the new species is characterized by possessing relatively little foot webbing. Uncorrected 16S rRNA sequence divergences between the new taxon and sequences for other congeneric species available ranged from 4.8 to 15.0%.

Abstract

Perdagangan satwa liar merupakan aktivitas manusia yang mempercepat kepunahan keanekaragaman hayati. Monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) termasuk salah satu jenis mamalia yang paling banyak diperdagangkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tren perdagangan dan kemitraan perdagangan M. fascicularis secara global periode 2000–2019. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data secara studi kepustakaan. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif terhadap permasalahan yang diselidiki. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa selama  periode 2000–2019 tercatat 3.111 insiden perdagangan. Tren perdagangan M. fascicularis berkode sumber tangkapan dari alam (W) secara umum mengalami penurunan, sedangkan perdagangan berkode sumber penangkaran (C), anakan (F), dan ranching (R) secara umum bervariasi. Mauritius menjadi negara eksportir M. fascicularis berkode tangkapan dari alam (W) dan anakan (F) tertinggi, sedangkan negara pengekspor tertinggi hasil penangkaran (C) adalah Cina dan Vietnam. Amerika Serikat merupakan negara paling konsumtif sebagai importir maupun re-eksportir dan memiliki banyak mitra perdagangan dalam pasar M. fascicularis ini. Indonesia aktif melakukan perdagangan terutama dengan kode sumber penangkaran (C) dan bermitra dengan Amerika Serikat, Taiwan, dan Singapura.
