Abstract

A number of interesting bird records were made by a team of ten biologists from Cambridge University (UK), Universitas Pattimura (Ambon, Maluku), and Wetlands International, (Indonesia), during a three month research and conservation project in 1996 in the proposed Cagar Alam (Nature Reserve) of Wae Bula in northeast Seram. This paper documents five species previously unrecorded on the island and provides information concerning several species of interest in terms of distribution or conservation. Seram still holds large tracts of unexplored and unsurveyed forest which are likely to hold important populations of threatened and endemic species; future visitors are encouraged to extend our limited knowledge of the avifauna of this island.

Abstract

Manembonembo Nature Reserve in North Sulawesi, Indonesia was established in 1978. To date, virtually no ecological research has been carried out in the reserve. We describe the first systematic survey of birds at Manembonembo. As with many Sulawesi protected areas, this 6,500 ha reserve is relatively small, but in I I days of fieldwork we sighted 72 species of birds. Of particular relevance for conservation is the presence of several threatened species such as Prioniturus flavicans, Megapodius cumingii, and Zoothera erythronota. Manembonembo is seriously threatened by several factors: its small size, hunting, timber collection, and agricultural encroachment.

Abstract

The island of Siberut is the largest of the Mentawai Archipelago, which lies 125145 km from the coast of mainland West Sumatra. Primary lowland rain forest and freshwater swamp forest cover is extensive on Siberut, and supports a unique fauna with high levels of endemism, the most studied examples of which are the four endemic species of primates. The Mentawais also have an endemic species of Scopsowl Otus mentawi as well as 12 other birds endemic at the subspecific level. Unlike the primates and other mammals however, the avifauna has been poorly studied and its ecology is not well understood. Information is provided on bird surveys carried out between August 1997 and March 2000 whilst the author lived and worked on the island for the Siberut National Park Authority. Data are presented for Siberut bird communities, including significant bird records during the 2½ year period. These records include 28 new species for the island, three new provincial records (Whiteheaded Stilt Himantopus leucocephalus. Gullbilled Tern Gelochelidon nilotica and Pomarine Jaeger Stercorarius pomarinus) and a new record for Sumatra (Grey-tailed Tattler Heteroscelus brevipes). A discussion about the threats to Siberut's forests and the future impact that these will have on the bird population of Siberut is given. An appendix lists all 134 species recorded on Siberut, with information on habitat, status and abundance.

Abstract

This paper details some of the more important and interesting records from Alas Purwo National Park in East Java. Most of these come from the author's work in the Park from May 1997 until September 1999, though records are included from many other sources. Details are given of the status of all of the species that are classed as threatened or near-threatened by Collar et al. (1994), along with those that are attitudinally or distributionally unexpected. A full systematic list of the species recorded in and around the Park is included, some 227 to date (with an additional 11 'possible' species).

Abstract

The Javan Lapwing Vanellus macropterus was (and just possibly still is) a bird species endemic to Java, although there is debatable nineteenth century evidence of its occurrence on Sumatra. It has not been seen since 1940, and indeed almost nothing has ever been published on the species (the scant details are assembled in BirdLife Internafional's Threatened birds of Asia, in prep.). However, the Swiss German plantation owner Max E. G. Bartels (1871 1936; see Stresemann 1937, Rozendaal 1981) kept extensive manuscript and typescript notes on Javan birds, which he clearly intended to publish at one stage. These are held at the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, Leiden, Netherlands. The notes contain an invaluable summary of Bartels's experience of the Javan Lapwing. This material has been selected, condensed and reworked into the entry on the species in Threatened birds of Asia, but because it is a unique record (and because there are items of information which do not concern conservation and were therefore not used in BirdLife's account), we felt it would be worthwhile reproducing the entries in its entirety in the interests of science and posterity. The translation, from German, is ours.
