Abstract

Many papers have been published on the food and feeding behaviour of the Brahminy Kite Halistur indus. At Singkarak Lake, West Sumatra, a Brahminy Kite was observed repeatedly diving from 10-15 m in the air to snatch small fish from the surface of the water, and eating them in the air. The prey was probably Bilih Mystacoleucos padangensis, a fish species endemic to the lake. Only one fish was taken on each dive, so it was undoubtedly more energy-efficient to eat the prey on the wing than to take it to a perch after each capture, though potential kleptoparasitism by other raptors may have also selected for this feeding behaviour.

Abstract

Rearing insects such as dragonflies and damselflies aim to gain uniform progeny that used for scientific purposes. In Indonesia, unfortunately, this rearing type is not yet common which suggests the time for its initiation. This study has objective to define the type of rearing cage for Agriocnemis femina damselfly (Odonata, Zygoptera, Coenagrionidae). It was conducted descriptively by using two smalls (9 x 13 x 23 cm), four medium (14 x 15 x 22 cm) and two larges (20 x 23 x 33 cm) size boxes as cage setups, with or without ornamental plants in it. The feeding was with limited (10-15 Drosophila flies provided per day) and unlimited provision. Data was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that A. femina lived normally, including eating and mating, within the large cage setup equipped with ornamental plants and unlimited feeding.

Abstract

Since its establishment on 2004, Zoological Museum of Andalas University (MZUA) has been functioning as scientific institution, including deposition, maintaining and preserving vertebrate specimens in various forms. Round-skin technique for preserving avian specimen started to be used as preparation method since 2012, which brought novelty in learning its biological aspects. It provides more reliable taxonomical and molecular materials for future use, which was one of the endorsements for this technique. This article aimed to inventory the round-skin specimen of Passerines in MZUA by using descriptive method to examine their taxonomical and curatorial aspects. As many as 196 avian round-skin specimens have been catalogued until July 2016; 166 of them were from Passeriformes order (Passerines), belonged to 57 species and 14 families. Timaliidae was family with most members collected (67 individuals), followed respectively by Nectariniidae (20 individuals), Pycnonotidae (19 individuals), Muscicapidae (17 individuals), Turdidae (12 individuals) and mixed of other families (31 individuals). While the localities of collection were mostly centered on Central Region of Sumatra (i.e. West Sumatra, Jambi), a handful of specimens were collected from outside of the main island. A systematic effort to develop the collection and improve the representativeness of Sumatran avian species is continuously needed, not only to fulfill its scientific purpose, moreover to serve the conservation objective.

Abstract

The Black-crowned Night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) is a known visitor in Sumatra with more sighting records in the eastern side of the island. Meanwhile, on the west, it was historically recorded from only two offshore islands, namely Nias and Enggano. During the waterbird survey from early 2018 at Pasir Jambak Beach of Padang City in the coastline of West Sumatra, a Night heron was spotted among the colony of mixed egret species. This study aims to update the knowledge of this species in West Sumatra, as well as its general occurrence in Sumatra. This study was conducted by counting the population of each waterbird species found in the research area, while for documentation purposes, a Nikon Coolpix P900 was used to take pictures. Species identification was guided with related books for the Sumatera area. Data then were analyzed and outlined descriptively in accordance with what accumulated from the field survey and online searching. The result showed that the first sighting of Black-crowned Night-heron in West Sumatra follows the common fly-through route of migrant birds in eastern side of Sumatra. The summary of the compiled records of this species indicates that it is probably a vagrant along the western coastline, while it visits more frequently on the eastern side. This is the first record of its kind in the province of West Sumatra, although, previous records cover almost all provinces in Sumatra.

Abstract

West Pasaman Regency in West Sumatra Province is recently established as an administrative area on 2003, segregated from Pasaman Regency where it was previously affiliated. This regency has been planning to support its structural developments using its main income generated from agricultural sector, which involve vast plantation area for oil-palm and other agricultural products. With the variety of its topography spans from some offshore islands up to 2,912 m mountain area, it is interesting to understand the importance value of this area from the perspective of one of its natural biodiversity: avifuna. Here in this paper, we use Genetic Heat Index (GHI) concept based on avian diversity and their conservation status to compare the significance value among four prominent landscapes in this regency, which include Mount Talamau and Laut Tinggal Lake (mountainous area), Tongar River (lowland-to-hilly riparian agricultural area) and Panjang Island (an offshore island). Despite the difference and similarity of bird species recorded in each site, Panjang Island has comparable GHI value with Tongar River, Mount Talamau and Laut Tinggal Lake (consecutively 4.20, 4.03, 4.14, 4.26). This result implies to the uniqueness of bird species living in each site along with its habitat typicality which also helps in contributing to their GHI value. Therefore, giving attention to this GHI concept while accommodate it into development plan will help in supporting more environmentally-sound development process.
