Abstract

Heavy metal contamination in urban aquatic environments represents an important threat to fish health because persistent metals can bioaccumulate and induce structural and functional alterations in vital organs. This study aimed to evaluate the association between lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) exposure and renal histopathological alterations in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from contaminated urban waters. A quantitative observational comparative approach was applied by examining fish from contaminated and reference sites. Heavy metal concentrations were determined in water and kidney tissues, while renal alterations were assessed through Hematoxylin–Eosin histopathology and semi-quantitative lesion scoring. Urea and creatinine were evaluated as complementary renal indicators, and correlation analysis was performed to examine associations among metal burdens, tissue damage, and biochemical alterations. Fish from contaminated sites exhibited higher metal accumulation and more severe tubular degeneration, epithelial vacuolation, tubular necrosis, glomerular abnormalities, vascular congestion, and inflammatory responses. Heavy metal concentrations were positively associated with renal damage severity, with cadmium showing the strongest relationship. These findings demonstrate that integrating metal accumulation, renal histopathology, and biochemical indicators provides a comprehensive approach for assessing contaminant-associated fish health and supports common carp as a potential sentinel species for urban freshwater biomonitoring.

Abstract

Habitat fragmentation represents a major threat to Sumatran tigers Panthera tigris sumatrae by reducing habitat connectivity and potentially restricting movement across increasingly modified landscapes. This study aimed to model the effects of habitat fragmentation on tiger movement patterns and spatial distribution using advanced GPS telemetry integrated with spatial analysis. GPS collars were used to record tiger locations and movement trajectories, while Geographic Information System GIS analysis and the Minimum Convex Polygon MCP method were applied to characterize habitat conditions and estimate home ranges. Spatial distribution modeling was subsequently used to evaluate tiger occurrence in relation to habitat characteristics and landscape connectivity. The results showed that increasing habitat fragmentation was associated with smaller observed home ranges and shorter daily movements. Tiger locations and predicted occurrence were concentrated primarily in larger connected forest patches whereas isolated habitats and anthropogenically modified areas showed lower suitability and restricted movement. Potential movement corridors were also identified between important habitat patches. These findings demonstrate the importance of maintaining functional landscape connectivity for Sumatran tiger conservation. Protecting core habitats preserving movement corridors and restoring connections between fragmented forest patches are therefore essential for supporting the long term persistence of this threatened subspecies.

Abstract

Seasonal and oceanographic variability can influence the movement ecology of migratory seabirds by altering environmental conditions along their migration routes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of seasonal and oceanographic variability on the timing and spatial patterns of Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) migration in Indonesian waters. A quantitative observational approach was applied using satellite tracking to characterize migration timing, duration, movement speed, and spatial routes across different monsoon periods. Migration records were integrated with sea surface temperature, wind speed and direction, and seasonal conditions, followed by temporal, spatial, correlation, and regression analyses. The results showed that migration during the southeast monsoon was characterized by shorter duration, higher movement speed, and more direct routes, whereas the northwest monsoon was associated with longer duration, lower movement speed, and more dispersed trajectories. Sea surface temperature was associated with migration timing, while wind conditions were related to movement performance. The findings indicate that migration patterns reflect interactions between seasonal marine conditions and behavioral flexibility. Long-term integration of satellite tracking and oceanographic monitoring is therefore important for identifying environmentally sensitive migration periods and supporting adaptive conservation of migratory seabirds in Indonesian waters

Abstract

The dhole (Cuon alpinus) plays an important ecological role as a predator capable of influencing prey populations and maintaining trophic balance in protected ecosystems. This study aimed to analyze predator–prey interaction patterns and evaluate their implications for dhole population dynamics in a national park conservation area. Wildlife monitoring was conducted using camera traps operated continuously for 12 months at strategic locations, including wildlife trails, water sources, and habitat corridors. Independent detections were used to identify dominant potential prey and calculate the Relative Abundance Index (RAI), while predator–prey population dynamics were evaluated using a differential-equation model based on the Lotka–Volterra framework. The results indicated that wild boar, muntjac, and sambar were the dominant potential prey, with temporal variations in prey abundance followed by corresponding changes in dhole activity. Population modeling demonstrated cyclical predator–prey dynamics, suggesting that prey availability may influence dhole population responses. These findings highlight the potential role of dholes in regulating herbivore populations and maintaining trophic stability. Conservation management should therefore integrate predator protection, prey availability, habitat connectivity, and long-term population monitoring to maintain ecosystem balance in national park conservation areas.

Abstract

Artificial light at night is an environmental disturbance that can alter natural conditions and influence the behavior of nocturnal wildlife, including fruit bats. This study aimed to examine the relationship between light intensity, nocturnal activity patterns, and hunting or foraging performance of fruit bats (Pteropus spp.) in an agroforestry environment. A quantitative correlational approach was applied by measuring nighttime light intensity using a digital lux meter at several observation points representing different illumination conditions. Nocturnal activity and hunting or foraging behavior were systematically observed during nighttime periods, and the relationships among the observed variables were evaluated using correlation analysis. The results showed that increasing light intensity was associated with decreasing nocturnal activity and hunting or foraging frequency. Fruit bats were more active in darker areas, while locations with greater illumination showed lower levels of movement and food-searching activity. These findings indicate that nighttime illumination is an important environmental factor associated with the behavioral patterns of fruit bats in agroforestry landscapes. Maintaining dark habitat patches, vegetation cover, and appropriate nighttime lighting management may therefore contribute to the conservation of fruit bats and support their ecological functions within managed tropical landscapes.

Abstract

Skin injuries caused by trauma represent an important concern in racehorses because they may interfere with tissue integrity, recovery, welfare, and athletic performance. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of fibroblast cell culture biotechnology as an in vitro approach for supporting skin tissue regeneration in racehorses (Equus ferus caballus) following traumatic injury. Fibroblasts were isolated from equine skin biopsy samples and maintained under controlled culture conditions. Cellular viability and proliferative activity were evaluated using the MTT assay, while regenerative characteristics were assessed through microscopic and histological evaluation of fibroblast density, cellular organization, and extracellular matrix deposition. Comparative evaluation was conducted between control and treatment groups. The findings showed that equine skin fibroblasts could be successfully isolated and expanded in vitro. The treatment condition demonstrated greater metabolic activity, fibroblast density, extracellular matrix deposition, and cellular organization than the control condition, indicating stronger regeneration-associated cellular responses. These findings suggest that fibroblast cell culture provides a promising experimental platform for studying equine skin regeneration. However, further research using standardized treatment protocols, three-dimensional skin models, and in vivo validation is required before this approach can be translated into clinical management of traumatic skin injuries in racehorses.
