Abstract

Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) on Lombok Island, living in groups on Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk, are separated by the densely populated city of Mataram. This geographical isolation may potentially affect the genetic diversity of the population, which can be known through dermatoglyphic studies. This research aims to identify and compare the dermatoglyphic patterns of the long-tailed macaque populations in both locations. The study used 34 samples of dermatoglyphics from the hands and feet of long-tailed macaques, consisting of 17 samples from Mount Pengsong and 17 samples from Mount Pusuk. Samples were collected using the transparent adhesive tape method, allowing for the identification of patterns and their frequencies, which were analyzed using chi-square tests. The results showed that four basic dermatoglyphic patterns were found: whorl, loop, open field, and arch. The dermatoglyphic pattern with the highest frequency in both Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk was the whorl pattern (35.5% and 36.2%, respectively). Meanwhile, the arch pattern was only found at Mount Pengsong. The chi-square analysis indicated no significant differences (p>0.05) in the frequencies of dermatoglyphic patterns between the two groups, suggesting that the city of Mataram does not cause significant genetic variation differences. It can be concluded that there are no significant differences in the patterns and frequencies of dermatoglyphics of long-tailed macaques between Mount Pengsong and Mount Pusuk, Lombok. Further research needs to be conducted using cluster analysis and with a larger sample.

Abstract

Macaca fascicularis (long-tailed monkey) is one of the primates that is widely distributed. The population of long-tailed monkeys on the island of Bali can be found at 43 points, one of which is in Pura Bukit Gumang, Pekraman Bugbug, Karangasem district. Different populations can have different variations of dermatoglyphic patterns, therefore this study was conducted to determine the dermatoglyphic pattern and the highest frequency of the type of fingerprint pattern of long-tailed monkeys in Pura Bukit Gumang Karangasem Bali. The study used 13 samples of dermatoglyphics of the hands and feet of long-tailed monkeys in Pura Bukit Gumang Karangasem Bali. Dermatoglyphic impressions were taken using transparent adhesive plastic that had been given graphite powder on the palms and feet of long-tailed monkeys. The results of the study found 4 basic dermatoglyphic patterns, namely open field (47%), whorl (31%), loop (20%) and arch (2%). The highest frequency of dermatoglyphic patterns of the palms of long-tailed monkeys was whorl 37.9% and the highest frequency of dermatoglyphic patterns of the soles of the feet was open field (57.3%). Open field is the highest frequency of all palm and foot pattern areas with a percentage of 47%. The research that has been done is still limited by the number of samples. To improve the accuracy of dermatoglyphic patterns in monkey populations, it is recommended to use more representative samples for the population.
