Indonesian Journal of Ecology and Conservation is a journal published in 2024 by the Center for Ecology, Conservation, and Ethnobiology Studies at the Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. The establishment of this journal is driven by the importance of recognizing the diversity of flora and fauna in Indonesia, particularly on the island of Sulawesi. The geographical uniqueness of this island, separated from the continents of Asia and Australia, has allowed for the evolution of different species and is a primary cause of its biodiversity richness. This aspect is certainly attractive for research by various groups, and the Indonesian Journal of Ecology and Conservation serves as an appropriate platform for accessing and publishing research findings in the fields of ecology, conservation, molecular, systematic, and evolutionary studies

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the abundance of eel larvae in the coastal waters of Malunda, West Sulawesi Province. Sampling of eel larvae was conducted in the coastal waters of Malunda, West Sulawesi. A hand scoop net (seser) with a mesh size of 1 mm was used as the sampling gear. Sampling activities were carried out once a month at night during the new moon phase. The captured samples were placed in buckets containing river water equipped with an aerator and then transported alive to the Integrated Laboratory of Universitas Sulawesi Barat for identification and measurement of body length and weight. Water quality parameters, including salinity, pH, temperature, and total dissolved solids (TDS), were measured during each sampling event. Species identification was conducted using the Anal–Dorsal Vertebrae (ADV) key character method by counting the number of anodorsal vertebrae and measuring the anodorsal length. The results showed that the eel larvae found in the coastal waters of Malunda consisted of a single species, Anguilla marmorata. The specimens obtained had an anodorsal vertebrae count ranging from 14 to 18. The highest abundance of eel larvae was recorded in August. The environmental conditions of the Malunda coastal waters are still considered suitable for the survival and optimal growth of eel populations

Abstract

The dominance of broadleaf weeds after A. nilotica control resulted in a decrease in the dominance of grass species in the savanna area of Bekol BNP. Herbicide application for controlling broadleaf weeds is an effective and efficient method. However, the impact of herbicide use on seed storage in the soil is unknown, while seed storage plays an important role in the sustainability of vegetation. This study used a completely randomized factorial design with three factors: soil depth, type of herbicide, herbicide concentration, and a control (without herbicide application). The effect of herbicide application on seed germination was analyzed using ANOVA. The results of this study indicated that the application of herbicides had no significant effect on seed germination in the soil (P > 0.05). Therefore, the use of triclopyr and fluroxypyr herbicides could be considered as one of the measures for controlling broadleaf weeds in the savanna area of BNP.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the diversity index of dragonfly species. Observations were conducted using the capture–recapture method, which involved capturing dragonflies, marking them, and releasing them back into their habitat. The recording of each dragonfly species was carried out using an exploration method by surveying specific areas and recording and counting the number of individuals of each species encountered. The study was conducted in August 2023 at three research stations. Data analysis was performed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’). The data were analyzed using the PAST (Paleontological Statistics) application. The results showed that a total of 11 species with 539 individuals belonging to four families were recorded. The most abundant species was Pantala flavescens, with 113 individuals. The diversity index values were H’ = 1.993 at Station I, H’ = 1.739 at Station II, and H’ = 1.937 at Station III. Overall, the dragonfly diversity index at each station in Lembang Mokallang Village, Mamasa Regency, was categorized as moderate diversity

Abstract

This study elucidates the diversity of birds at the campus of Universitas Sulawesi Barat, a region that is part of the Wallacea ecosystem, which is renowned for its high biodiversity. The research involved an inventory of 22 bird species belonging to 17 families, with a total of 180 individuals recorded. Among the observed species, seven were distributed across various habitat types, while 13 others were found in habitats less influenced by human activities, such as grasslands, shrubs, and trees. Interestingly, two species, Perkutut Jawa and Kacamata Sulawesi, were exclusively found in habitats frequently affected by human activities, such as settlements and plantations. The study also revealed that approximately 27.27% of the 22 recorded bird species are Sulawesi endemic species, while 72.73% are non-endemic species. These findings provide important insights into the composition and distribution of birds in the study area and have significant implications for conservation efforts. Protecting natural habitats, especially those supporting endemic species, should be a priority. In addition, a better understanding of how birds interact with human-modified habitats is necessary to develop effective conservation strategies. Further studies on specific species may also be required in environments that are increasingly fragmented by human activities. Advancing knowledge in ornithology is essential for preserving bird diversity in the Wallacea region.

Abstract

Indonesia is a megadiverse country, with the Wallacea region among the world's biodiversity centers. Its geographic conditions and geological history create a complex ecosystem that supports a variety of species found nowhere else. However, habitats in Wallacea face major threats from human activities, including deforestation, land conversion, mining, and the introduction of invasive species that can disrupt local ecosystem balance. This research is a literature review that employs a systematic review methodology. Therefore, it is important to study in greater depth the threats facing the Wallacea region as a biodiversity hotspot. Sustainable management of natural resources, strict law enforcement, and increasing public awareness about the importance of maintaining biodiversity are the keys to preserving the Wallacea region

Abstract

Domestic wastewater serves as a habitat for various microorganisms, including coliform bacteria. High concentrations of total coliform exceeding the established wastewater quality standards indicate the presence of pathogenic contaminants that may contribute to the spread of waterborne diseases. This study aimed to determine the total coliform bacteria present in domestic wastewater in Makassar City. The method used was microscopic examination employing the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The results of the MPN test showed that out of 50 domestic wastewater samples analyzed, 29 samples (58%) met the wastewater quality standards, while 21 samples (42%) did not meet the established standards. The samples analyzed were collected from various sources of domestic wastewater, including hotels, hospitals, factories, and shopping centers distributed across Makassar City

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and describe the diversity of fish species sold at Paccing Market, Awangpone District, Bone Regency, through morphological identification. The research was conducted on June 26 and July 4 using a qualitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling techniques. Primary data were obtained through direct field observations, while secondary data were collected from relevant literature sources. The results revealed seven fish species originating from different aquatic habitats, including Chanos chanos, Oreochromis niloticus, Rastrelliger brachysoma, Mugil cephalus, Katsuwonus pelamis, Pennahia macrocephalus, and Sardinella gibbosa. Each species exhibits distinctive morphological characteristics as adaptations to its specific environment. These findings indicate that Paccing Market serves as a marketing site for diverse fish resources, reflecting the high potential for fish diversity in Bone Regency, which is supported by relatively stable oceanographic conditions and active community fishing practices. Therefore, sustainable management and utilization of these fisheries resources are essential to maintain ecological balance and economic continuity

Abstract

This study aimed to explore population and condition data on the Sulawesi Water Rat (Waiomys mamasae) from an ethnozoological perspective in five buffer villages surrounding Gandang Dewata National Park. Using a cluster sampling technique, 66 respondents from various professions with direct interaction with river ecosystems were selected, including hunters, farmers, and other individuals frequently active in river areas. Data were collected through questionnaire-based interviews to obtain information regarding the frequency of sightings of this species and its utilization in local communities. The results showed that 50% of respondents had directly observed the Sulawesi Water Rat, while the rest had never encountered it. In terms of utilization, local communities use this species as a protective talisman to prevent house fires, as traditional medicine, and as a source of food. Several local beliefs also describe unique abilities of this species, such as the capacity to walk on water or remain submerged for extended periods. The age distribution of respondents was dominated by individuals aged 35–48 years (32%), followed by other age groups. This study provides important insights into local knowledge and the relationship between communities and W. mamasae, which can serve as an important basis for conservation efforts and ecosystem management in the buffer areas of Gandang Dewata National Park

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the occurrence of the Sulawesi Giant Squirrel (Rubrisciurus rubriventer) in five buffer villages surrounding Gandang Dewata National Park and to evaluate its potential as a biological learning resource. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach through a survey of 66 respondents distributed across Rambusaratu, Taupe, Mambulilling, Tondok Bakaru, and Lambanan villages. The results showed that 92.42% of respondents reported having directly observed the Sulawesi Giant Squirrel, with the highest distribution reported in Rambusaratu and Mambulilling villages. The use of squirrels by local communities is predominantly for consumption (56%), while the remaining respondents either do not utilize the species or are unaware of its use. In addition, validation results of a booklet developed as a learning medium based on field findings indicated a very high level of validity (score ≥ 4.8), suggesting that it is suitable for use in learning activities based on local potential. This study highlights the importance of utilizing local biodiversity to support contextual learning and the conservation of endemic species
