Abstract

Snakehead gudgeon (Giuris margaritacea) or Payangka in Indonesian’s local name, has a high population and been used as a consumption fish mainly by people around Lake Tondano, not only the consumption size, but also the juvenile (it called Nike) are preferred. The fish resources are the essential source and need to keep their sustainable in the future. The research was carried out in 2015. The study was aimed to identify and record some aspects of snakehead gudgeon fish biology in Lake Tondano Mi-nahasa Regency of North Sulawesi. Fish samples were obtained from fisher's catch. The morphometric and meristic character was measured, and also was performed surgery to observe reproduction and food. The results showed that the growth pattern of Giuris margaritacea was positive allometric with sex ratio 1: 1.41. The fish was spawning whole year with fecundity between 36,892-90,102 eggs, and diameter of the egg was 0.285 mm on average. The size of the first mature female was 10.75 cm gonads. Snakehead gudgeon was a carnivorous fish with shrimp as the primary food, and the relative length of the digestive tract was 82.88%.

Abstract

Rice-field rat is a main pest of rice. Yield reduction caused by rat is quite high, because rats attack rice plant at all stages. One of the efforts applied to control rats is by using Trap Barrier System combined with cage trap. The objective of this research was to identify species of rat attacking rice plants and investigate the presence of  rat by their footprints. The experiment was conducted in Jalur 6  Village Sumber Mulya, Sub-district  Muara Telang,  District Banyuasin, South  Sumatra. One hectare of farmer’s rice field, divided into 3 sub-plot. Each sub-plot was planted with variety paddy of Inpari 22 (sub-plot A), Inpari 33 (sub-plot B), and Inpari 43 (sub-plot C). The number of cage traps was 6 traps per sub-plot. Observations were made 7 times, with an interval of 10 days. Results showed species of trapped rats in the research area was Rattus argentiventer, in which number of males was higher than females. Morphologically, the size of males were bigger than female. Number of footprints did not reperesentative the number of trapped rats. Inpari 43 variety was more preferred by rats because damage intensity was the highest than other two rice varieties.

Abstract

Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) are one of four Asian elephants subspecies, which are categorized as Critically Endangered by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) since 2011. Some factors that might drive this species into extinction ranges from wild attacks in the forest, habitat degradation due to land acquisition for plantation and development areas, and human slaughter because they regard these animals as enemies that sometimes enter community settlements. Elephants in Sembilang National Park is an interesting issue because it has not been registered as key species in Sembilang National Park, as well as no authentic evidence and official reports about the existence of elephants in the park. This paper proves the existence of elephants in Sembilang National Park, South Sumatra. The elephant documentation is in the form of photos and videos of 4 different elephant individuals, footage, cruising lanes and elephant puddles. Evidence of the existence of elephants in Sembilang National Park strongly indicates that future actions, participation and attention of all stakeholders are needed to the conservation efforts of the biggest Sumatran mammals in Sembilang National Park

Abstract

Characterization of native orchid (species) in Indonesia is important for preservation of germplasm and selection process to obtain dominant character of orchids as potential parental. Morphological characterization is a method to obtain scientific information in phenotypic manner. Characterization of plants was carried out on 10 native orchids of Dendrobium genus to obtain specific character. Characterization process based on UPOV guidebook and morphological observation of pollinia was also carried out on 10 native orchids to obtain information about the structure and physiology of pollinia. The results of morphological characterization on 10 native orchid showed several qualitative characters such as flowering position, cross section of leaf, pseudobulb firmness, and leaf arrangement in D. Canaliculatum was different from 9 other native orchid. Morphological pollen of 10 native orchid shows the diversity structure of pollinia and the physiological conditions of mature pollen which are ready to pollinate are pollinia with a golden yellow colored. Knowledge and information about parental relationships is the main point for developing ornamental plant breeding programs. Selection of native orchids as potential elder is important where selected elders will be used as a source of genetic diversity. The results of this study are expected to provide scientific information and phenotypic selection for the development of hybrid orchids.

Abstract

The study of Balanophora in South Sumatra has been carried out from July-August 2018. This research uses the direct observation and collection method in 3 km long track in the Bukit Jambul Gunung Patah Protection Forest Area, South Sumatra. Sample identification was carried out in the Biology Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Sriwijaya University. The results show that there is one Balanophora species, B. elongata. There are 2 subspecies of this species, namely B. elongata var. elongata and B. elongata var. ungeriana (Valeton) B. Hansen. The difference between these 2 subspecies is var. ungeriana in the tubers is not elongated with longitudinally coarse luruk leaves. At that location only found species of B. elongata var. ungeriana. Distribution: Peninsula Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and mostly in West Java for subsp. ungeriana is only recorded on the island of Java precisely at Mount Salak and Mount Gede in West Java. This species is the first record for the Sumatra Island. There are around 30 individual species of B. elongata var. ungeriana respectively 23 female individuals and 7 male individuals. Bulbs, leaf characters and flower types are important to identifying the species of Balanophora. Most of these species are found in habitats where they have a height of 1000-2800 meters above sea level which are suitable for habitat in the Bukit Jambul Gunung Patah Protection Forest Area.
