Abstract

Apis dorsata Fabricius is a giant forest honey bee with a wide distribution that includes Indonesia. South Sumatra, Belitung, and West Kalimantan exhibit distinct geographic and ecological characteristics that may influence the morphometric variations of this species. This study aimed to analyze the similarities and differences across various morphometric parameters of A. dorsata colonies from these three regions. A traditional morphometric approach was conducted to measure 23 morphometric parameters. A total of 120 individuals from 12 A. dorsata colonies originating from South Sumatra, Belitung, and West Kalimantan were examined. The results indicated that 12 of the 23 parameters (52.2%) differed significantly among populations. Populations from South Sumatra generally exhibited larger structural dimensions across several head, thorax, and wing parameters, whereas the Belitung populations demonstrated higher values for proboscis length and antennal socket distance. Multivariate analysis (NMDS and ANOSIM) revealed statistically significant, albeit weak, differentiation among the populations. Overall, these findings indicate the presence of localized morphometric variations across the islands, although the degree of morphological differentiation remains relatively low.

Abstract

Molecular detection methods were used to determine if Africanized Honey Bees (AHBs) are present in populations of imported Apis mellifera in Indonesia. The cytochrome b (cyt b gene) was amplified from mitochondrial DNA and digested with the BglII restriction enzyme (cytb/BglII). Two types of animal DNA extraction kits were used and found suitable for rapid preparation of DNA from A. mellifera by the Animal Quarantine facility. Results showed that all 94 colony samples from beekeepers in Java produced a 485 bp PCR product from the amplification of this gene. Two DNA fragments of 194 and 291 bp from all samples were produced after digestion with BglII. This cytb/BglII result together with the DNA sequence of cyt b showed that all collected samples of A. mellifera were the non-AHB type. Hence, this study did not detect AHB in Indonesia.Key words :  Apis mellifera, molecular detection methods, DNA, cytochrome b, mitochondrial genetics

Abstract

Yellow rice stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) is one of the most important rice pest insects in Asia, including Indonesia. However, there is a lack of genetic data for this important agricultural insect.  Therefore, this study was conducted to explore intraspecific differentiation of S. incertulas partial 16S mitochondrial gene from Bogor, Karawang, Indramayu and Cirebon (West Java, Indonesia). Here, we reported a total of 325 bp of 16S mitochondrial gene of S. incertulas from the obtained samples. Among all DNA sequences, three haplotypes of 16S mitochondrial gene were observed and submitted to GenBank under Accession Number of GU191881, GU191882, GU191883, respectively for haplotype 1, 2, and 3.  The haplotype 1 was found in all S. incertulas surveyed locations, except Bogor. The haplotype 2  and 3 were found only in from Cirebon and Bogor samples. These haplotype variations can be applied as DNA markers for S. incertulas early larva detection method among other rice stem borers. Hence, further explorations of the mitochondrial variations of S. incertulas in Java and other parts of Indonesia are needed.   Keywords: moth, haplotypes, genetic differentiations,  molecular identification

Abstract

As social insects, termites live in a colony that consist of reproductive (drone and queen), and non-reproductive (soldiers and workers) castes. Workers obtain their food directly from wood, humus, and other substances that contain cellulose. The objective of this study was to examine the alimentary canal of the Neotermes bosei workers. Observations of gut transverse section were carried out through the length, perimeter, and area of each alimentary canal region. The results showed that total length of N. bosei alimentary canal was 13.71+1.28 mm. The canal was divided into fore-, mid-, and hindgut which were 24, 28, and 48%, respectively of the gut total length. Two types of alimentary canal epithelial cells were found, i.e. the squamous and transitional cells. Areas covered with thick muscular tissues were crop, proventriculus, and rectum. Proventriculus was characterized with six large dentitions. There was no gastric caeca in N. bosei midgut, which commonly occurred in chewing insect. Secretory cells .were observed at proventriculus and ventriculus regions. Cardiac valve was found at the anterior end of ventriculus. Area with the largest outer perimeter was the rectum pouch. Enteric valve had three internal folds.Key words: drywood termites, alimentary canal, histology, Kalotermitidae

Abstract

Antennal sensilla receive many stimuli from the environment. Thus, it is crucial to study the structure of antennal sensilla, especially in the eusocial bees, such as the honey bee Apis dorsata and stingless bee Trigona laeviceps; both have females, queens and workers with different tasks in their colonies. We aimed this study to describe the types, density, distribution, and ultramorphometric measurements of antennal sensilla of queens and workers of A. dorsata and T. laeviceps. The antennae of ten workers and one queen of A. dorsata and T. laeviceps were analyses using scanning electron microscopy. This study revealed two new sensilla types, chaetica and ceoloconica of  A. dorsata workers. We also describe seven new types of sensilla of T. laeviceps workers and queen: trichodea, placodea, basiconica, campaniformia, ampullacea, chaetica, and coeloconica. The current study found caste differentiation in the densities of antennal sensilla: the density of antennal sensilla in the workers is higher compared to the queen, both in A. dorsata and T. laeviceps. Age polyethism in the worker caste presumably shapes the diversity of sensilla. Further, asymmetry distribution was observed in the anterior and posterior sides of the antenna, with the anterior sensilla having nearly twice the density of sensilla compared to the posterior side, in both species of worker caste. In ultramorphometric studies we found that trichodea in A. dorsata workers is larger than that of  T. laeviceps workers, while interestingly, the placodea of the giant honey bee A. dorsata is smaller than that of the smaller T. laeviceps.

Abstract

Pribadi T, Raffiudin R, Harahap IS (2011) Termites community as environmental bioindicators in highlands: a case study in eastern slopes of Mount Slamet, Central Java. Biodiversitas 12: 235-240. Termites ecological behavior is much affected by land use change and disturbance level. Their variation in diversity can be used as bioindicator of environmental quality. However, termite community response to land use changes and habitat disturbance in highland ecosystems remains poorly understood. This study was conducted to investigate the response of termite community to land use intensification and to explore their role as environmental bioindicator in Mount Slamet. A standard survey protocol was used to collect termites in five land use types of various disturbance levels, i.e. protected forest, recreation forest, production forest, agroforestry, and urban area. It was found two termite families i.e. Rhinotermitidae andTermitidae with seven species, i.e. Schedorhinotermes javanicus, Procapritermes sp, Pericapritermes semarangi, Macrotermes gilvus, Microtermes insperatus, Nasutitermes javanicus, and N. matangensis. Termite species’ richness and evenness, Shannon-Wiener index, relative abundance, and biomass of termite were declined along with the land use types and disturbance level from protected forest to urban area. Habitat disturbance was the main declining factor of termite diversity. Termite composition changed along with the land usedisturbance level. Soil feeding termites were sensitive to the disturbance – they were not found in urban area. Hence, their presence or absence can be used as environmental bioindicator to detect habitat disturbance.

Abstract. Purnobasuki H, Rakhashiwi GA, Junairiah, Wahyuni DK, Putra RE, Raffiudin R, Soessilohadi RCH. 2022. Morpho-anatomical characterization and DNA barcode of Cosmos caudatus Kunth. Biodiversitas 23: 4097-4108. Secondary metabolites in plants have various benefits, therefore their distribution in plant body parts is important to study. The identification process of plants should be conducted using several characters, including morphological and molecular data. This study aimed to identify and confirm Cosmos caudatus Kunth using morpho-anatomy characters and DNA barcodes. The plants used were three samples taken from the Husada Graha Famili Park, Surabaya. The morpho-anatomical investigation was carried out descriptively, while the DNA barcoding study was processed by amplifying and sequencing the rbcL and matK genes. Morphological studies indicate that the roots and stems of C. caudatus are similar to the organs of dicots shrubs in general. The leaves have a pinnate type with two different colors on each side of the leaf. Compound flowers are cup-type with two types of flowers, namely disc flowers and ray flowers. Based on anatomical observation, all vegetative organs have the same tissue as dicotyledonous plants. The anatomical characteristic of C. caudatus lies in its trichomes due to its anthocyanin content and stomata which are anomocytic and anisocytic types. DNA barcoding results showed that the three sample plants had identical similarities with several Cosmos genera contained in the GenBank database with percentage identities values ??above 98%, query covers 96-100%, and e-values ??of 0.

Abstract. Putra RE, Wibisana G, Kinasih I, Raffiudin R, Soesilohadi RCH, Purnobasuki H. 2023. Pollination biology of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis forma flavicarpa) at typical Indonesian small-scale farming. Biodiversitas 24: 2179-2188. Yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis forma flavicarpa) has been considered one of the potential local fruits targeted as the export commodity of Indonesia. However, this fruit production level is relatively unstable, which lowers their potency as cash crops and makes them secondary fruits for small-scale farmers. One of the possible factors related to this condition is pollination success. This research aimed to study the pollination biology of yellow passion fruit in terms of flower interaction with insects and the morphological aspect of flowers. The observation was conducted in four sites at Kampung Organik Beji, Wonogiri Regency, between January-February 2022. Pollinators' census was done by scan sampling while flower-visiting insect activities were monitored by focal sampling. This study found 26 species of flower-visiting insects which can be grouped into 5 Ordo and 12 Families with moderate diversity index (H’=2.15), evenly distributed (J’=0.66), and low domination (D=0.32). Among identified insects, carpenter bees (Xylocopa latipes), stingless bees (Tetragonula laeviceps), and Asiatic honey bees (Apis cerana) were considered as pollinators in which X. latipes (Vt=11.81±7.44 second, Fvr=2.41±1.55) visited flower (Vt) on shorter times, and more flower visitation rate (Fvr) than T. laeviceps (Vt=12.36±8.32 second, Fvr=1.10±0.30). Furthermore, this study found that the benefit of natural pollination was better than hand cross-pollination. However, the benefit was hampered by a lack of plant protection and soil fertility management. This study may be applied as baseline information to create pollinator protection zones in the area near the plantation zone to ensure the pollination services for crops.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria encourages the exploration of natural antibacterial agents with lower risk of promoting resistance. Honey is a promising candidate due to its acidity, high osmolarity, and bioactive compounds. However, comparative studies on the antibacterial activity of Indonesian honey from different bee species remain limited. This study compared the antibacterial activity of ten Indonesian honey samples produced by four bee species (Apis mellifera, Apis dorsata, Apis cerana, and Tetragonula laeviceps). The target bacteria used were Escherichia coli ATCC8739, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC15442. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using the disc diffusion assay, followed by bacterial viability, LD50 determination and proximate analysis of the most active samples. All honey samples inhibited Escherichia coli, whereas only TG1_PND from T. laeviceps inhibited all three pathogens. Viability assay indicated the strongest inhibition at 100% honey concentration, with the lowest LD50 (81%) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Proximate analysis showed that TG1-PND possessed the lowest pH, suggesting that its antibacterial activity may be related to organic acid-induced osmotic stress. These findings demonstrate the potential antibacterial activity of T. laeviceps honey and its development as a natural antibacterial agent.
