Abstract

The existence of the Racket-tailed Treepie Crypsirina temia on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia, remains unconfirmed, despite several records and two specimens collected in South Kalimantan since the 20th century. During our birdwatching activities in several areas since 2017, we have encountered this bird and documented our sightings on the Burungnesia platform. We also recorded the habitat conditions where the bird was found to assess its habitat suitability in Kalimantan. Between 2017 and the present, we recorded 10 encounters with this bird from four provinces in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Notably, one record is from research conducted on Laut Island, South Kalimantan. The habitat records from the locations where this bird was found provide valuable information on suitable habitats and can serve as a reference for further research on this species in Kalimantan

Abstract

The Spiny Turtle Heosemys spinosa (Gray, 1831) is an endangered freshwater species found in parts of Southeast Asia, but records from offshore islands are scarce. This study documents the first occurrence of H. spinosa on Babi and Lasia Islands, off the west coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Between 15 October and 25 December 2023, nine individuals were observed on Lasia Island, and another on Babi Island in August 2025. The species was found in wet forest floors, mangroves, and leaf-littered habitats within protected forests. Both uninhabited islands retain extensive old-growth forest, suggesting they may serve as refuges for H. spinosa. This record expands the species’ known range and highlights the need for further research and conservation on Indonesia’s lesser-studied satellite islands.

Abstract

The Tempe floodplain lake system in South Sulawesi is one of Sulawesi’s most important wetland complexes for waterbirds. This paper consolidates records from 1985–2025, including published surveys, eBird data, and new field observations made in November 2023. A total of 69 waterbird and raptor species are now documented for the lake system, with four species newly recorded in 2023. Historical counts contrast sharply with much smaller numbers observed in recent years, suggesting possible population declines. Supplementary evidence from online hunting videos revealed that at least 19 waterbird species are currently targeted by recreational shooters using modern air rifles, highlighting a likely increase in hunting pressure since the 1990s. These findings support earlier concerns about the sustainability of bird harvesting in the Tempe wetlands and indicate a need for renewed monitoring and stronger management of hunting activities. The study demonstrates the value of integrating conventional field data with verified citizen-science and digital media sources to reassess the conservation status of under-studied tropical wetland ecosystems.

Abstract

Indonesia hosts a remarkable diversity of freshwater fishes, including numerous endemic wild Betta Betta spp. (Anabantiformes: Osphronemidae). However, the rise of e-commerce has facilitated unregulated online trade of wild Betta species. This study investigates the diversity, conservation status, and trade dynamics of wild Betta species between 1–21 October 2025, in Indonesia’s three largest online marketplaces: Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada. A total of 38 wild Betta species were identified, including five Critically Endangered, eleven Endangered, and seven Vulnerable taxa. The trade was dominated by species from Sumatra and Kalimantan, which together accounted for over 85% of endemic taxa. Market analysis revealed a positive correlation between rarity and price, with Endangered and Not Assessed species commanding the highest average prices. The presence of Critically Endangered species such as Betta hendra and B. burdigula indicates ongoing extraction from the wild despite conservation risks. Furthermore, nearly 26% of traded species remain Data Deficient or Not Assessed, reflecting critical knowledge gaps that hinder management and policy enforcement. The findings underscore the urgent need for stronger regulation of digital wildlife trade, improved conservation assessments, and promotion of captive breeding programs to reduce wild collection pressure.

Abstract

Anthropogenic land-use change is a primary driver of global biodiversity loss, yet rural agricultural matrices often retain significant ecological function. This study assesses the composition, diversity, and microhabitat associations of herpetofauna in two human-modified landscapes (Air Duren and Cengkong Abang) in Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Fieldwork was conducted over three consecutive weeks in July 2022 using a time-constrained Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method (19:00–21:00). We recorded 13 individuals representing 7 species and 6 families. The assemblage was dominated by generalist amphibians (Fejervarya cancrivora, Duttaphrynus melanostictus) and synanthropic reptiles (Eutropis multifasciata, Gekko smithii). Notably, Cengkong Abang hosted forest-associated arboreal species, including Tropidolaemus wagleri, Boiga dendrophila, and Ahaetulla prasina, correlating with its higher structural vegetation complexity. Diversity analysis revealed a higher Shannon-Wiener index in Cengkong Abang (H' = 1.75) compared to Air Duren (H' = 1.33). The presence of arboreal and semi-aquatic guilds indicates that rural matrices can function as permeable habitats and secondary refugia. Conservation strategies in Bangka should prioritize the retention of vegetation complexity and stratified canopies within village landscapes to sustain herpetofaunal biodiversity.

Abstract

Combtooth Blennies (Blenniiformes: Blenniidae) are small, cryptic coastal fishes that are often underrepresented in regional ichthyofaunal surveys. Lampung Province, located at the southern tip of Sumatra, encompasses diverse coastal habitats suitable for blenniid fishes; however, information on their occurrence remains limited. Here, we present preliminary records of Combtooth Blennies from Lampung Province, based on field observations and photographic documentation conducted between 2017 to 2025, complemented by verified citizen-science records. A total of seven taxa representing five genera were recorded, including Alticus saliens. Aspidontus taeniatus, Entomacrodus vermiculatus, Istiblennius sp., Istiblennius dussumieri, Salarias sp. and Salarias fasciatus. Records were obtained from multiple coastal districts and habitats, including rocky intertidal zones, shallow reefs and nearshore coastal areas. Istiblennius dussumieri was the most frequently recorded species and was widely distributed across the study area. The findings provide essential baseline data on the distribution of Blenniidae in Lampung Province, emphasizing the importance of targeted surveys alongside citizen-science initiatives for documenting cryptic coastal fish diversity in southern Sumatra.

Abstract

This study reports the first confirmed record of Zenarchopterus gilli from Lampung Province, southern Sumatra, Indonesia, based on field surveys conducted on 7 November 2025 in the Petengoran Mangrove Area, Pesawaran Regency. Several individuals were observed in shallow estuarine waters along mangrove creeks and tidal channels, and species identification was verified through diagnostic morphological characters, including the elongated lower jaw and distinctive modifications of the male anal-fin and dorsal-fin rays. The specimens conform to published descriptions of Z. gilli. Previously, the species had been recorded from northern Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Halmahera, Komodo, Maumere and Raja Ampat, but not from Lampung. This new record fills a geographic gap in its distribution in western Indonesia and suggests that the species likely has a broader and continuous coastal distribution across Sundaland, highlighting the need for further surveys in underexplored estuarine and mangrove habitats.

Abstract

Indonesia contains extensive tropical wetland ecosystems that provide important habitats for resident and migratory waterbirds within the East Asian Australasian Flyway. However, breeding documentation for several shorebird species in the Indonesian archipelago remains limited. Here we document the first confirmed breeding record of Vanellus indicus in Indonesia based on field observations conducted on 18 January 2026 in Pinang Kencana Subdistrict, Tanjungpinang Timur District, Bintan Island, Riau Islands Province. Evidence of breeding was established through the observation of a downy chick accompanied by adult birds exhibiting territorial defense and distraction behavior. A follow up visit on 21 February 2026 confirmed the presence of adult birds and a juvenile, indicating successful breeding at the site. This record expands current knowledge of the species’ distribution and breeding status, and suggests that Indonesian lowland wetlands may support newly established breeding populations of adaptable shorebird species.

Abstract

The White-bellied Sea-Eagle Icthyophaga leucogaster is a widespread Indo-Pacific raptor known for its predominantly piscivorous diet and opportunistic foraging behavior. Here, we report an unusual feeding observation of a juvenile I. leucogaster preying on a jellyfish at the mouth of the Sembilang River, South Sumatra, Indonesia, on 20 February 2018, at approximately 11:00 hrs. The eagle was observed lifting the jellyfish from the water surface and transporting it in its talons while in flight to a nearby perch. Jellyfish are rarely reported as prey for raptors and are generally regarded as having low nutritional value; however, their high visibility and ease of capture during periods of abundance may provide short-term energetic gains. This observation broadens current knowledge of the dietary range of I. leucogaster and underscores the species’ behavioral flexibility in exploiting unconventional prey resources.

Abstract

This paper documents two rorqual whale stranding events along the eastern coast of South Sumatra, Indonesia, a region where marine mammal records remain scarce. The first event, recorded on 15 January 2021 in Sungai Kong, was identified as a Fin Whale Balaenoptera physalus based on morphological characteristics such as body size and asymmetrical jaw coloration. The individual was successfully refloated and returned to deeper waters. The second event, on 26 February 2026 in Sungai Somor, involved a Bryde’s whale Balaenoptera edeni, identified by the presence of three rostral ridges and characteristic body morphology; despite rescue efforts, the individual later died. Both strandings occurred in shallow, estuarine environments characterized by muddy substrates, mangroves, and strong tidal influences, conditions that may increase stranding risk for large whales. These records provide important baseline data on the occurrence of rorquals in South Sumatran waters and highlight the ecological significance of the region.
