Abstract

Bats are recognized as ecologically important mammals and potential natural reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens, including coronaviruses. However, baseline ecological information on bat diversity in human-influenced landscapes of Lampung, Indonesia, remains limited. This study aimed to conduct initial surveillance of bat diversity in selected urban and rural habitats in Lampung and to provide an ecological basis for assessing potential zoonotic risk contexts. Bat sampling was conducted using mist net trapping in four locations representing urban and rural landscapes, followed by morphological and morphometric identification. A total of 37 individuals representing five bat species were recorded, comprising four fruit-eating species, Cynopterus brachyotis, Cynopterus sphinx, Cynopterus horsfieldii, and Cynopterus titthaecheilus, and one insectivorous species, Scotophilus kuhlii. The predominance of C. brachyotis across all sites indicates broad ecological adaptability, particularly in human-modified environments. Rural habitats supported greater species representation than urban sites, suggesting the influence of habitat heterogeneity on bat assemblages. Morphometric and reproductive observations further supported species discrimination and ecological interpretation. Although this study did not assess pathogen presence directly, the occurrence of bats at human–wildlife interfaces provides important baseline information for future surveillance related to reservoir hosts and zoonotic disease risks. These findings contribute to understanding bat diversity in Lampung and support further ecological and epidemiological investigations.

Abstract

Microalgal omega-3 fatty acids have gained considerable attention as sustainable alternatives to fish-derived lipids due to environmental constraints, contamination risks, and increasing demand for nutraceutical products. However, the rapid growth of this field has led to a fragmented body of literature, necessitating a systematic evaluation of research trends and thematic developments. This study aims to examine the evolution, collaboration patterns, and thematic structure of microalgal omega-3 research using a bibliometric approach. Bibliographic data were retrieved from the Scopus database for the period 2010–2025 using relevant keywords, yielding 1,050 publications after screening. The dataset was analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer to assess publication trends, country contributions, journal distribution, author networks, and keyword co-occurrence. The results demonstrate a marked increase in publication output, particularly after 2017, indicating growing interest in sustainable lipid sources and functional food applications. India, China, and the United States emerged as leading contributors, supported by strong international collaboration. Thematic analysis identified four principal clusters: microalgal biotechnology and lipid production, nutritional and pharmaceutical applications, metabolic and biosynthetic pathways, and food and feed utilization. Therefore, this study highlights the rapid expansion and multidisciplinary nature of microalgal omega-3 research while providing insights to support future scientific development and innovation.

Abstract

Hostplant availability is a key factor influencing butterfly distribution, particularly in urban environments with limited ecological resources. This study aimed to examine the colonization, oviposition behavior, and pre-adult development of Pachliopta antiphus antiphus following the introduction of its host plant Aristolochia tagala in a residential area in Palembang, Indonesia. A direct observation method was applied to monitor butterfly presence, egg-laying activity, and development from egg to adult stage. All observed individuals  (total of 12 eggs successfully developed into adults. Eggs were laid singly, primarily on young leaves. Larval development consisted of four instars, with increasing body size and feeding rate at each stage. The duration from egg to adult emergence fell within the normal developmental range reported for the genus. This finding highlights the importance of hostplant presence in supporting butterfly persistence and suggests a nested pattern of species occurrence within urban landscapes.

Abstract

Populations of the Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) are declining due to habitat loss and illegal exploitation, highlighting the need for effective conservation strategies. Rehabilitation and reintroduction programs are important efforts, but their success depends on the behavioral readiness of individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to assess activity budgets, vertical space utilization, and behavioral responses to environmental enrichment in a rehabilitated siamang candidate for release. Behavioral observations were conducted using a scan sampling method during two periods, before and after the implementation of environmental enrichment. The enrichment consisted of woven palm leaf devices filled with fruits and vegetables placed at elevated positions to stimulate natural foraging and locomotion behaviors. Observed behaviors included feeding, locomotion, resting, grooming, social interaction, and enclosure strata use, which were analyzed quantitatively based on frequency and percentage. The results showed that environmental enrichment influenced behavioral patterns and activity distribution. Active behaviors increased from 57.67% before enrichment to 72.6% after enrichment, while resting behavior decreased from 42.33% to 27.4%. Social interaction increased notably, and locomotion remained a dominant activity. Vertical space utilization also shifted, with the use of the upper stratum increasing from 66.0% to 86.1%, while the lower stratum was no longer utilized after enrichment. In conclusion, environmental enrichment enhances behavioral competence in rehabilitated siamangs by promoting active behaviors and encouraging the use of upper canopy space, supporting their readiness for release.

Abstract

Batik industrial wastewater contains organic pollutants and suspended solids that may degrade water quality if discharged without treatment. Phytoremediation using aquatic plants offers an environmentally friendly alternative for wastewater management. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of plant type and detention time on the phytoremediation efficiency of batik wastewater using Salvinia molesta, Hydrilla verticillata, and their combination. The experiment was conducted using a Randomized Block Design with detention times of 0, 7, and 14 days. Water quality parameters, chlorophyll content, and plant biomass were analyzed using two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results demonstrated that both plant type and detention time significantly improved wastewater quality (p < 0.05). The combined plant treatment at 14 days produced the most effective remediation, indicated by reduced BOD, TSS, and turbidity and improved pH conditions within quality standards. Longer detention time enhanced phytoremediation performance and supported plant growth under wastewater conditions. These findings highlight the ecological synergy between floating and submerged aquatic plants as a promising nature-based solution for sustainable batik wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Smoking remains prevalent in Indonesia and poses health risks to mothers and infants. Data from the Maternal and Perinatal Death Notification (MPDN) system indicate that maternal mortality increased to 4,129 cases in 2023 from 4,005 cases in the previous year. Although maternal mortality is multifactorial, this highlights the importance of reducing environmental risks such as secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. SHS is common in household environments and may affect breastfeeding mothers and infants. Breast milk is the main source of infant nutrition and supports early immune protection. Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein in breast milk, has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory functions. SHS-induced oxidative stress may damage the structural integrity of glycoproteins in breast milk, including lactoferrin, which can impair their immunological functions. This literature review aims to examine the potential role of lactoferrin as an immune biomarker in breast milk from mothers exposed to SHS. This study used a literature review approach by identifying, selecting, and synthesizing relevant scientific articles on SHS exposure, breast milk composition, lactoferrin, and infant immune protection based on predetermined inclusion criteria. The reviewed literature indicates that SHS exposure is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, which may interfere with lactation quality and alter immune-related glycoproteins in breast milk. Lactoferrin is considered a potential biomarker because it is related to antimicrobial activity, immune regulation, and infant protection against infection. This review concludes that reducing household SHS exposure is important to protect breastfeeding mothers and maintain breast milk immunological quality. Further empirical studies are recommended to examine the direct relationship between SHS exposure intensity and lactoferrin levels by considering lactation stage, maternal nutritional status, infant age, infection history, and breastfeeding patterns.
