Perbandingan Pakan Londok Pseudocalotes Tympanistriga (Squamata: Agamidae) Selama Musim Penghujan Dari Dua Tipe Habitat Di Gunung Ciremai, Jawa Barat

Telah dilakukan analisis isi lambung dari 64 spesimen koleksi Pseudocalotes tympanistriga (Squamata: Agamidae) yang dikoleksi saat musim penghujan (April 2006 dan Maret 2008) dari Gunung Ciremai, Jawa Barat. Terungkap bahwa pakan alami terdiri atas bermacam arthropoda kecil dan tidak terdapat unsur material tumbuhan. Terungkap pula bahwa populasi P. tympanistriga dari lokasi Arban hanya mengkonsumsi 12 macam mangsa sedangkan populasi dari lokasi Cigowong mengkonsumsi 22 macam mangsa. Perbedaan ini merupakan refleksi dari perbedaan tipe habitat antara kedua lokasi tersebut. Kedua populasi tersebut mempunyai kesamaan fenomena dalam hal tumpang tindih relung antar jenis kelamin maupun dengan betina bunting. Tidak adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara proporsi ukuran tubuh (AGL/SVL) mungkin yang menyebabkan kesamaan dalam aktivitas mencari/berburu mangsa antar jenis kelamin maupun antara betina bunting dan non bunting

Morfologi Larva Dan Pola Infeksi Falcaustra Kutcheri Bursey Et.al., 2000 (Nematoda : Cosmocercoidea: Kathalaniidae) Pada Leucocephalon Yuwonoi (McCord Et.al., 1995) Di Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia

Morphological Study of Larvae and Infection Pattern of Falcaustra kutcheri Bursey et.al.,2000 in Leucocephalon yuwonoi Mc Cord et.al., 1995 from Sulawesi. Some nematode parasitesFalcaustra kutcheri Bursey et.al., 2000 were found in alimentary tract of Leucocephalonyuwonoi, those were large in numbers in rectum and a small numbers in stomach. Both adultand larvae were collected from the host. The larvae were different on mouth structure and theshape of esophagus. An additional character, i.e two lateral branches of the anterior part ofintestine, that appear along the growth of larvae were reported

Iktiofauna Di Perairan Sekitar Gunung Kabela Taman Nasional Bogani Nani Wartabone Sulawesi Utara (Ichthyofauna of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park Waters North Sulawesi)

Penelitian mengenai ikan di perairan kawasan Taman Nasional Bogani Nani Wartabone telah dilakukan dengan mengambil lokasi di sekitar Gunung Kabela. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis ikan, kelimpahan, distribusi, potensi dan aspek terkait lainnya. Hasil penelitian tercatat 25 jenis dari 21 marga dan 14 suku. Gobiidae merupakan suku yang paling dominan dengan 9 jenis. Kelimpahan jenis bervariasi antara 1 sampai 33,75 ind./st.; Barbodes gonionotus merupakan jenis yang paling melimpah (33,75 ind/st), dan Sicyopterus longifilis merupakan jenis yang tersebar paling luas, faktor ekologi dan aspek terkait lainnya akan dibahas dalam makalah

A New Bent-toed Gecko (Cyrtodactylus: Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the Island of Tanahjampea, South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The recent description of Cyrtodactylus tahuna from Sangihe Island and descriptions of other new species from remote islands in the Indo-Australian Archipelago indicate the important role of oceanic dispersal and isolation in the evolution and diversification of the genus Cyrtodactylus. We provide another example involving Tanahjampea Island, a remote island 155 km south of the Southwestern Peninsula of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Here, we describe a new species on the basis of 11 specimens collected from that island. This new species is an intermediate sized Cyrtodactylus with a snout-vent length of up to 76.1 mm in adult males and 72.8 mm in females. It is easily distinguished from all recognized species occurring on Sulawesi as well as in the Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands by the following unique combination of characters: (1) brachium and antebrachium tuberculated, (2) ventrolateral folds with tubercles, (3) 20-23 irregularly aligned rows of keeled tubercles, (4) 31-34 paravertebral tubercles, (5) 29-34 ventral scales between ventrolateral folds, (6) no precloacal depression, (7) enlarged precloacofemoral scales in continuous series, (8) males with 20-24 precloacofemoral pores in wide Ʌ-shape, (9) enlarged post precloacal scales present, (10) 19-21 fourth toe subdigital lamellae, (11) enlarged transversely median subcaudals absent, (12) tail not prehensile, (13) tubercles extend along 71% of original tail length, and (14) the original tails reaching 147% of snout-vent length. We also provide an identification key to the bent toed gecko species that occur in the Wallacea region
