Abstract

This study investigates the daily activity patterns and feeding behavior of captive ring-tailed lemurs Lemur catta housed at the Schmutzer Primate Center, Ragunan Zoo, Indonesia. Through systematic observation over two months, including Ad Libitum and Focal Animal Sampling methods, data were collected on three adult individuals (one female and two males). Results revealed a predominant time allocation to resting (72.6%), followed by grooming (9.81%), locomotion (8.20%), and feeding (8.15%). Feeding activity peaked in the morning and late afternoon, aligning with thermoregulatory behavior such as sunbathing. The lemurs displayed a preference for provisioned fruits and vegetables, with limited manipulation of food items, reflecting species-specific feeding traits. No occurrences of agonistic, sexual, or play behaviors were recorded during the observation period. These findings highlight the behavioral adaptations of L. catta in a semi-natural captive setting and provide essential insights for enhancing animal welfare, enrichment, and management practices in zoological institutions. Keywords: daily activity pattern, feeding behavior, Lemur catta, ring-tailed lemur, Schmutzer Primate.

Abstract

The Javan Plover Anarhynchus javanicus is a range-restricted shorebird endemic to the Indonesian archipelago. While long considered resident in Java and nearby islands, its status on the island of Flores has remained poorly understood, with no previously documented breeding records. In March and April 2025, we conducted targeted field surveys in the Labuan Bajo region of western Flores to search for potential breeding activity. Two active nests were located with a minimum population of five territorial pairs at Sawah Kaca Mese, 6 km south of Labuan Bajo. This constitutes the first confirmed evidence of breeding by A. javanicus on Flores. These observations underscore the need for further surveys across Flores to reassess the species’ distribution, population size and breeding status. Keywords: Anarhynchus javanicus, breeding, Javan Plover, Labuan Bajo, Lesser Sunda Islands.

Abstract

This study reports new records of freshwater fish species from Simeulue Island, Aceh Province, Indonesia. A biodiversity survey conducted in July 2021 revealed five additional fish species not previously documented on the island, including Acentrogobius sp., Giuris margaritaceus, Cestraeus oxyrhyncus, Poecilia reticulata and Clarias sp. The survey also confirmed the presence of introduced species, such as Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and Guppy Poecilia reticulata, highlighting the need for monitoring and managing non-native species in the region. The discovery of C. oxyrhyncus, currently classified as Data Deficient, accentuates the importance of further research to determine its threats, ecology, population size, and trends. This study contributes to the understanding of freshwater fish diversity on Simeulue Island and emphasises the importance of conservation efforts to protect the biodiversity of small islands in Indonesia. Keywords: Aceh, freshwater fish, Indonesia, Simeulue Island, Sumatra.

Abstract

The Nyaru Menteng Arboretum area in Central Kalimantan serves as a habitat for approximately 200 Long-Tailed Macaques Macaca fascicularis within its 65.2-hectare area, as recorded in 2024. A lack of food causes presumed M. fascicularis to descend to settlements in search of food, resulting in losses for the people of Nyaru Menteng Arboretum which leads to coexistence. This study aims to identify the types of coexistences that occur between M. fascicularis and villagers. The method used to identify coexistences is a survey method. The survey results explain that the types of coexistences that occur range from stealing side dishes (25%), damaging ceilings (25%) and messing up the kitchen (50%). Human resistance in the form of repellent using slingshots 32%, wood 40%, nets 20% and air rifles 8%. The findings of this study can serve as a reference for managing future coexistences and inform decision-making for effective M. fascicularis management in the Menteng Arboretum Area, Central Kalimantan.   Keywords: Endangered, Indonesian Borneo, interaction, Long-Tailed Monkey, Macaca fascicularis.

Abstract

The Grey-tailed Tattler Tringa brevipes is a migratory shorebird species that migrates to the southern hemisphere, including Indonesia. In Sumatra, the species was previously considered a vagrant, but new records suggest it may be an uncommon visitor. A study compiled 26 sightings of Tringa brevipes in Sumatra from 1999 to 2024, with most records coming from the east coast of the island. The species was found in small numbers, with the largest flock consisting of 20 individuals. Based on these records, it is recommend reclassifying the species' status to "uncommon visitor" rather than "vagrant." Further research is needed to understand the species' migration patterns and habitat use in Sumatra.

Abstract

Indonesia, one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, hosts a staggering array of ecosystems and species, many of which remain undocumented, particularly spider (Arachnida: Araneae). While spiders are widely recognized for preying on insects and small animals, fish predation by spiders is a rare behavior predominantly associated with semi-aquatic species such as Dolomedes. This study reports three instances of fish predation by spiders in Indonesia, observed across North Sumatra, Bangka Belitung and East Kalimantan Province during biodiversity fieldwork in 2004, 2022 and 2024. Spider and fish species involved were identified using taxonomic keys and photographic documentation, revealing interactions between Dolomedes sp. and fish from taxa such as Cyprinid, Common Snakehead Channa striata and Licorice Gourami Parosphromenus sp. These findings provide valuable insights into this understudied phenomenon and highlight the need for further research into spider predation in Indonesia’s freshwater habitats.

Abstract

Water Buffalo Bubalus bubalis are an essential livestock species in Indonesia. However, mass mortality events have been reported in recent years, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of the causes of these cases. This study presents the first comprehensive retrospective analysis of B. bubalis mortality events in Indonesia between 2010 and 2025. Data were compiled from scientific reports, government records, media coverage, and citizen science platforms. A total of 34 documented events were identified, with most attributed to infectious diseases, particularly Septicemia Epizootica (SE) caused by Pasteurella multocida. Environmental stressors such as floods and droughts, along with parasitic infections like Surra, were also contributing factors. Mortality peaks occurred in 2013 and 2023, each involving hundreds of deaths in single outbreaks. These findings underscore the urgent need for region-specific disease surveillance, vaccination programs, and improved husbandry practices.

Abstract

The White-shouldered Starling Sturnia sinensis, a species commonly found in East Asia and known to winter in Southeast Asia, had not been previously recorded in Indonesia’s avifaunal list. On 26 September 2023, an unusual starling was spotted among a flock of Daurian Starlings Agropsar sturninus near a Buddhist vihara in Tanjungpinang, Bintan Island, Riau Islands Province, Sumatra. The following day, the bird was photographed and documented for closer examination. It was ultimately identified as S. sinensis. This record represents a significant range expansion for the species into Indonesian territory, emphasizing the dynamic nature of avian migration and the critical need for ongoing monitoring to capture such unexpected findings.

Abstract

The Silvery Pigeon Columba argentina, a Critically Endangered species endemic to Indonesia, was long thought to be possibly extinct, with confirmed records limited to a few offshore islands west of Sumatra. Here, we report the rediscovery of C. argentina on Natuna Island, Riau Islands Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, representing the first confirmed record from this locality since 1928, nearly a century ago. Field observations and photographs obtained in July 2023 and May 2024 confirm the species' continued survival in coastal and lowland habitats on Natuna Island. This rediscovery extends the known current range of C. argentina beyond the western offshore islands of Sumatra and provides crucial evidence that remnant populations persist in the Riau Islands. This finding underscores the significance of Natuna Island and surrounding areas for the conservation of C. argentina.
