Abstract

The Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri) lacks specific primers to amplify the chytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene and the chytochrome b (cytb) gene, at present. Therefore, it is important to design primers to amplify the CO1 gene and cytb gene in N. netscheri. The aim of this study is to compare the primer design methods used, namely Primer-BLAST and AliView programs, to design specific primers for the chytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) and chytochrome b (cytb) genes in N. netscheri. This research was conducted using the descriptive method with molecular observation. In this study, CO1 gene primers, namely [(forward: 5' TGTATGATATGGGGGAGGGC 3'), (reverse: 5' TGGTCCGTCCTTATTACAGCG 3')] and cytochrome b (cytb) gene primers, namely [(forward: CCAGCTCCATCCAATATCTC, (reverse: 5' GTTAGGGTTAGAAGGTCTGC 3')] and showed that primer design using the AliView program produced specific primers in the genus Nesolagus. The conclusion of this study is that primers designed using the AliView program are more specific than those designed using Primer-BLAST.

Abstract

Participatory management of conservation areas requires collaboration in management. Multistakeholder collaboration and community participation in conservation area management are essential in realising the awareness of each element involved. Kandi area is situated in Sawahlunto City. a former location of coal mining. After the close of the mining this area is used for a tourism destination with various attractions such as Kandi Fruit Park, Kandi Animal Park, Camping ground, Horse Racing Field, and Circuit. Taman Kehati Emil Salim Sawahlunto will also be built in this location with an area of 24 ha containing local biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to analyse engagement of multi-stakeholders, tourist perceptions and community participation in the Kandi area. The approach used in this research is mixed method with descriptive analysis. The respondents of this research were the Head of Destination Division of Sawahlunto City, Head of Tourism Objects Division of Kandi Area, and Head of UPTD Plant Nursery of Kandi Fruit Garden, tourists, and community. Data were collected by means of literature study, observation, pre-research, research, interviews and questionnaires. The results of the study are there is no engagement between stakeholders, because the tourist attraction is managed by the government of Sawahlunto City. however, Taman Kehati Emil Salim Sawahlunto involves multi-stakeholders. Then, tourists who visit are satisfied with the vast land, but tourists are unsatisfied with the sanitary of tourist attractions and incomplete tourist facilities. Community participation in the organization of biodiversity park management indicates that the surrounding community cares about nature conservation.

Abstract

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to poaching and illegal trade. In the law enforcement process, it is very important to ensure that the sample is indeed from a Sumatran tiger. Seized samples from illegal trade cannot be identified based on their morphology because they have been degraded and processed into other forms. Previous studies have reported the use of molecular markers for Sumatran tiger identification, which involve lengthy procedures and analyses. Therefore, for a more effective identification process, faster and more accurate techniques are needed. This study aims to design tetra primers for the identification of Sumatran tiger subspecies, particularly from incomplete confiscated samples, using the Amplification Refractory Mutation System-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS-PCR) technique based on Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers. The primers were designed using the Primer1 application and validated in silico with CloneManager and NCBI BLAST, as well as through direct testing on Sumatran tiger blood samples. The design results showed one pair of primers with optimal specifications, producing G allele fragments (452 bp), A allele fragments (408 bp), and internal control fragments (819 bp). Specificity testing results indicated that all samples were Sumatran tigers, with amplification bands at 452 bp and 819 bp. These results demonstrate that the developed tetra-primer ARMS-PCR assay provides a rapid and practical molecular approach for identifying Sumatran tiger samples, particularly for forensic verification of confiscated wildlife materials.

Abstract

Background: Alopecia or alopecic syndrome is a hair loss condition on the body. Alopecia is caused by a wide variety of factors both internal to the individual (i.e. androgen activity, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic stress, hormonal imbalances) and external (i.e. human-induced pressures, allergens, ectoparasites, fungal dermatitis, bacterial, toxicities, environmental contaminant exposure, idiopathic disease, poor habitat conditions, anthropogenic activities, zinc deficiency, and ingestion of plant toxins). Methods: This study was conducted at four locations in Batam City, consisting of two fragmented forests in the city center and two islands far from the city area. Bats were captured using mist nets and harp traps with a total sampling effort of 120 net nights and 120 harp trap nights. Findings: This study captured 417 bats across seven species, with an overall alopecia prevalence of 10.79 %. The highest prevalence was found in Pipistrellus tenuis (100%), Kerivoula pellucida (50 %), and Macroglossus minimus (20 %), likely due to the small sample sizes of these species. Larger sample sizes resulted in lower prevalence rates: Balionycteris maculata (22.2 %), Cynopterus horsfieldii (11.1 %), C. brachyotis (9.2 %), and C. sphinx (6.86 %). The most severe hair loss generally occurs on the shoulders and neck. Some individuals show hair loss on the back, head, chest, abdomen, and other parts of the body. Alopecia is found in both males and females from mild to severe. The prevalence of alopecia in all species was higher in fragmented forests in urban to periurban, and rural areas. This was associated with differences in the level of anthropogenic pressure. Contribution: These findings provide a scientific contribution to understanding the relationship between alopecia in bats and anthropogenic pressures and highlight the importance of habitat conditions in population health in fragmented environments.

Abstract. Akbar MA, Rizaldi, Novarino W, Perwitasari-Farajallah D, Tsuji Y. 2019. Activity budget and diet in silvery lutung Trachypithecus cristatus at Gunung Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 719-724. We studied the activity budget and diet of a group of wild silvery lutungs (Trachypithecus cristatus) in Gunung Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, with special attention to age-and sex-related differences. We conducted behavioral observations between July and October 2016, and found that resting constituted the greatest proportion of their daily activities (46%), followed by moving (38%), feeding (12%), and grooming (4%). Resting peaked between 11 am and 1 pm, while moving decreased in this period. The juveniles showed higher percentage of moving and lower percentage of feeding than the adults. The adult males showed higher percentage of grooming than the adult females. Finally, the nursing females showed lower percentage of resting and higher percentage of grooming than single females. During the study, we recorded 14 plant species consumed by the lutungs. Their dietary composition was composed of 63% foliage and 37% fruit. Both the foliage and fruits of Ficus variegata, a plant species belonging to the family Moraceae, was the most consumed. Foliage was frequently consumed by the nursing females and juveniles. The adult males were frequently observed to eat fruit during the study period. No fruit was consumed by the nursing females.
