Abstract

Oriensubulitermes inanis (Haviland) is one of the endemic termites in the Oriental Region and plays a very important role in the decomposition process in tropical forests. This study aims to redescribe O. inanis from Indonesia. Termite were collected by adopting a Standized Sampling Protocol (Jones & Eggketon 2000) and final taxonomic confirmation were conducted at the Natural History Museum UK) and Florida University (USA). We found 21 colonies of O. inanis from various habitats and altitudes in Indonesia. Distribution of O. inanis is often correlated with biodiversity status in tropical forests. Worker caste mandible provides the most useful character for the description of O. inanis. In Southeast Asia, this rare species is restricted and can be found only in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra, and absence from Java. Decayed wood, base of tree trunks, and other termite nests (epigeal mounds) are selected media used to construct their nests. Limited population number in a colony, restricted alates flying ability, and secretive nest habitats are thought to influence the distribution of O. inanis in Indonesia.

Abstract

Pulau Breueh, located in Pulo Aceh District, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia, is renowned for its rich avifaunal diversity. However, comprehensive data on bird species distribution and abundance on the island remain limited, highlighting the need for detailed studies to support conservation efforts. This study aimed to document and analyze the bird species present on Pulau Breueh, focusing on their distribution across various habitats. Field observations were conducted in July 2024 using two methods: the transect method, covering a 20 km route across coastal and inland areas, and the point count method, with observations at strategic locations. A total of 34 bird species from 19 families were identified, including coastal species such as the Pacific Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) and forest-dwelling birds like the Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela). The findings underscore the ecological significance of Pulau Breueh as a habitat for diverse avian communities and emphasize the importance of conservation measures to mitigate threats such as habitat alteration and hunting. Recommendations include habitat protection, community education, and continuous monitoring to preserve this biodiversity hotspot. Keywords: bird; Pulau Breueh; biodiversity; conservation
