Abstract

Pummelo (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.) (Rutaceae) is a cultivated species with a high economic value and several cultivars are found in Indonesia. Bageng Taji is a seedless pummelo cultivar found in Bageng village, Pati regency, Central Java, Indonesia. This research aims to measure the effect of colony addition of two bee species, Apis cerana and Tetragonula laeviceps in pollination and fruit set of pummelo. We set-up four treatments of pollination, i.e., bagged flowers (control), open flowers , colony addition of A. cerana (honey bee), and colony addition of T. laeviceps (stingless bee). Visiting activity of bees were observed by using focal sampling method in the sunny days. Pollen load was measured using the acetolysis method. The effectiveness pummelo pollination was measured based on fruit formations. Results showed that the longest visitation and the number of flowers visited of A. cerana (15.2 seconds/flower and 37.3 flowers/5 minutes) and T. laeviceps (45.5 seconds/flower and 17.1 flowers/5 minutes) occurred at 09.30 am. The average number of pollens carried by A. cerana (19,908 pollen grains) was higher than T. laeviceps (4,308 pollen grains). Addition of A. cerana and T. laeviceps colonies increased 34% and 32% of fruit formation compared to control plants.

Abstract

Butterflies are flower visitors and are important for plant pollinators. This research aimed to analyze the food plant preferences of butterflies and analyze the correlation between butterfly proboscis and flower corolla tube lengths.  Observations of butterflies were carried out at four locations within Dramaga campus area of Bogor Agricultural University from March to April 2024. The results showed 23 species of butterflies were observed on the flowers of eighteen plant species. Hesperiids and Nymphalids butterflies were found dominantly. The shrub plant, Lantana camara is the most visited by butterflies (8 species), followed by Saraca indica (6 species), and Turnera ulmifolia (5 species). Butterflies prefer to visit tubular shape and purple color of flowers. Based on the correlation analysis, there was no significant correlation between the butterfly proboscis and the flower corolla tube lengths.

Abstract

Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP) is located in the western part of Java Island, Indonesia. This national park was designated a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992. The stingless bee species, Tetrigona apicalis (Apidae: Meliponini), has not previously been documented in specific locations on Java Island. In this study, we found a new distribution record of T. apicalis in UKNP. Here, we described of its nest-entrance characteristics, morphological features, and morphometry. The colony of bee species was found in the forest of Mount Honje, UKNP, Indonesia, at an altitude of 883 m asl. The nest is located in a Tiliaceae tree cavity at a height of 420 cm from the ground surface. The shape of the nest entrance of the bee species was irregular, with a longitudinal diameter of 3.2 cm and a vertical diameter of 5.7 cm, and it had a light brown color. Locally, this bee is known as teuwel meunyan, referring to a traditional incense burner due to the aromatic scent associated with its use in religious rituals. The findings contribute to the current knowledge of the distribution of T. apicalis on Java Island, particularly within UKNP, and provide data for future conservation and sustainable utilization efforts.

Abstract

Coat color in mammals plays important adaptive roles, including camouflage, communication, and thermoregulation. Intraspecific variation in coat color is often associated with local environmental conditions. This study investigates coat color and hair color banding in the common spiny bandicoot (Echymipera kalubu), which exhibits ventral color polymorphism. We examined twenty individuals from Manokwari, West Papua, categorizing them into red-ventral and white-ventral groups. Coat color was quantified from digital photographs using CIE Lab* values, and hair color banding types were analyzed microscopically from body areas: dorsal, lateral, and ventral. Significant differences were found between the two groups and among the body areas. Red-ventral individuals exhibited higher a (redness) and b (yellowness) values, especially in the ventral area, whereas white-ventral individuals showed higher L (Lightness) values and reduced chromaticity. Seven hair color banding types were identified, with red-ventral individuals displaying a more diverse hair color banding type across body areas, particularly in lateral and ventral areas. Habitat substrate color analysis revealed that red-ventral individuals inhabited darker, red-yellow environments, whereas white-ventral individuals occupied lighter, less saturated habitats. The dorsal-to-ventral gradient in pigmentation and banding in E. kalubu is predicted to have a countershading function to avoid predators.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlight Research Approximately 3978 sponge individuals were collected and grouped to 137 morphospecies, with 120 of these have been identified intothree classes, 17 orders, 40 families, and at least 70 genera. Sponges in the Makassar Strait showed significant differences based on individual abundance data. Pannikiang Island had the greatest abundance and diversity of sponges, and the lowest found in Gusung Toraja. The sponge composition of the three islands indicated that neighboring islands do not guarantee high similarity.     Abstract Sponges are an important and dominant component of marine benthos which are threatened due to global environmental degradation. To establish appropriate conservation policies, the diversity and distribution of sponge must be understood. Meanwhile, the availability of sponge diversity and distribution especially in the Makassar Strait, is still lacking. This study aimed to investigated the diversity and distribution of the sponges composition in coral reef ecosystems on three less-explored islands in the Makassar Strait (South and West Sulawesi provinces, Indonesia). Sponge assemblages were sampled at a depth of 5 m using Underwater Photo Transect method, with a total area of 15 m2 at each site. We recorded a total of 137 morphospecies of sponges (N = 3978 individuals), 59 of which were restricted to Barrang Caddi, 39 to Gusung Toraja, and 92 to Pannikiang. Only 12 species were shared among all islands. We found ten morphological types of sponge, with the dominant type in all islands was encrusting. Our results showed that Pannikiang island represents the  highest diversity and abundance of sponges, which had the largest area compared to the other islands and is surrounded by mangrove forests. There was a significant difference in species composition between Pannikiang and other islands.

Abstract

Kale (Brassica oleraceae) has small and compound floral-type and usually visited by bees, including Trigona laeviceps (Apidae: Melliponini) as pollinator which can increase fruit and seed production of many species of agricultural crops. Aims of the research were to study  foraging activity and the role of T. laeviceps in seed production of kale. Three treatments were used i.e., caged crop with one colonies of T. laeviceps, open crop with one colonies of T. laeviceps and caged crop without bee. Foraging activities of  T. laeviceps were observed during the flowering by using a focal sampling method and visual method. Measuring the amount of pollen was done by using glycerol and alcohol (70%) with a ratio 4:1 and pollen viability was observed in Brewbaker and Kwack solutions. Result showed that flower handling time of T. laeviceps was highest during 09.00-10.00 (36.3 seconds/flower) with foraging rate was 8.26 flowers per 5 minutes. Flower handling time was lowest during 15.00-16.00 (10.6 seconds/flower) with foraging rate was 28.6 flowers per 5 minutes. Pollen load of  T. laeviceps in the caged crop (8125 grain) was higher than in open crop (3000 grain). Viability of the pollen in the caged crop (80.8%) was higher than that of open crop (31.4%). Pollination by T. laeviceps increased 141% number of pods per plant, 48% number of seeds per pod, 204% of seed weight per plant, and 177% of seed germination. Keywords: foraging activity, pollination, fruit set, pollen viability

Abstract

Anagrus nilaparvatae Pang et Wang (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) is a major egg parasitoid of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stal (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). The purpose of this study was to examine the egg development type, the effect of host deprivation and feeding on the reproductive performance of parasitoid. Determination of the egg development type was done by dissecting females of A. nilaparvatae upon emerging. Adult females aged 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours were killed in the freezer. Abdominal of wasp was dissected by micro pin. Mature egg of wasp were calculated and documented. Treatment of host deprivations were conducted by feeding 10% honey solution and depriving female parasitoids of host for 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 hours consecutively. After treatments, female parasitoids were given hosts every day until the parasitoids died. Another group of parasitoids were given with water and treated with the same lenght of deprivation period. Results showed that the A. nilaparvatae egg development type is proovigenic. The egg maturation of parasitoid has been initiated since it first emerge with 75% mature eggs of potential fecundity. In the conditions provided 10% honey solution or water as feed, reproductive performance of A. nilaparvatae decreased with increasing duration of host deprivation period, include realized fecundity, parasitization rate, and longevity of female wasp. The decline in the reproductive performance was done by host deprivation for 9 to 18 hours. Longevity of female wasps varied from one to three days, with higher and lower values consecutively for 9 and 18 hours of host deprivation period.

Abstract

Ladybird beetle, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata Fabricius (Coleoptera: Cocinellidae) has a wide host plants belonging to family of Solanaceae. The species can be a serious pests of solanaceous crops, such as, eggplants and potatoes. The aims of the research were to study life table and to measure demography parameters of H. vigintioctopunctata fed by leaves of Solanum torvum, S. nigrum, S. melongena, and Brugmansia suaveolens. Results showed that the highest longevity (68.7 days, male and 79 days, female) occurred in H. vigintioctopunctata fed by leaves of  S. nigrum, followed by S. torvum (20.6 days, male and 31.7 days, female), S. melongena (1.5 days, male and 2.5,0 days, female, and B. suaveolens (1.8 days, male and 1.7 days, female). Based on demography parameters, the highest net reproductive rate occured in H. vigintioctopunctata fed on leaves of S. torvum (R0 = 2.11 individu), followed by S. nigrum (R0 = 0.64 females/female), S. melongena (R0 = 0.06 females/female), and B. suaveolens (R0 = 0.006 females/female). Generation time was high in H. vigintioctopunctata fed by S. nigrum (28.53 days) and S. torvum (27.42 days) compared to S. melongena (5,9 days) and B. suaveolens (2.5 days). Intrinsic growth rate of H. vigintioctopunctata was highest in S. torvum (r = 0.0094 females/female/day). Based on the life table and demography parameters, S. torvum is the most suitable plant for growth and development of H. vigintioctopunctata.

Abstract

The major royal jelly protein 2 (mrjp2) gene is one of the molecular markers that can discriminate between Apis cerana Fabricius and A. mellifera Linnaeus. Due to the lack of mrjp2 gene sequences registered in GenBank for Indonesian A. cerana and A. mellifera, DNA characterization and bioinformatics analysis were needed. This research aimed to characterize the exon-intron organization of mrjp2 genes for both Indonesian bee species and analyze the phylogenetic relationship with other mrjp family genes. DNA samples of Apis cerana and A. mellifera, collected from Bogor, were amplified using MF-MR primer at annealing temperatures of 47 oC and 50 oC, respectively. The length of A. cerana and A. mellifera DNA sequences were 579 and 597 bp, respectively. The DNA sequences of both species were comprised of partial exons 1, introns 1, exons 2, introns 2, and partial exon 3. The number of putative amino acids of A. cerana and A. mellifera mrjp2 genes were 111 and 123, respectively. We confirmed that the partial MRJP2 putative amino acids of both honey bees belong to the MRJP family and contained the peptide signal in the 14 first amino acid sites. Nucleotide variation of the mrjp2 gene in A. cerana was higher than A. mellifera. Phylogenetic tree construction showed that A. cerana and A. mellifera form a monophyletic clade with the A. mellifera mrjp7 gene and another mrjp family gene clustered as reported in a previous study.

Abstract

Pollinators are well known to provide key ecosystem. Animal pollinators are thought to contribute between 15 and 30% of global food production and bees are recognized to be the most important taxon. The pollination effectiveness of two species of bees, Apis cerana and A. mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae) was studied.  Three cages, made of insect screen were set up.  Each cage contains three individual plants. One colony of A. mellifera and A. cerana were placed in the first and second cage, while the third cage was used for control plants. Bee colonies were placed during one month in the first and second cages.   Fruit set of plants pollinated by A. mellifera, A. cerana, control plants, and open plants were counted and compared.  Pollination by honeybees increased the number of fruits per plant and fruits per raceme of J. curcas. Based on measuring of fruit produced by plants, pollination effectiveness of A. mellifera was higher than A. carana.   Key words: Pollination, effectiveness, Apis cerana, A. mellifera, seed set, Jatropha curcas.
