The pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) and bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus) are important shark species for Indonesia's consumption and finning industry. Both Alopias species are included in the CITES appendix II, thus requiring certain documents for trading. Regarding species identification for on-site application, the DNA iso...

Background: The Banteng population in Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK) is less than 500 individuals. The habitat of Java Banteng in conservation areas has largely decreased. One approach to assessing the current status of biodiversity at all levels, especially in endangered species, is to use geospatial technology such as remote sensing and geograp...

. Blood group systems are heritable characteristics controlled by multiple alleles that determine the presence of antigens A, B, or the absence of antigens (O). These systems are crucial in categorizing humans' four main blood groups. ABO blood groups have been identified to correlate with evolution, migration, local adaptations, dietary patterns,...

Kebun Raya Cibinong merupakan salah satu Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH) di Kabupaten Bogor yang membentuk asosiasi vegetasi mirip dengan ekosistem hutan alam sehingga menjadi habitat berbagai jenis hewan termasuk kelelawar. Belum pernah dilakukan inventarisasi jenis kelelawar di Kebun Raya Cibinong, padahal kelelawar memiliki jasa ekologi penting di kaw...

Non-Human Primates (NHP) have a slow life history compared to other mammals due to their complex brain growth. Brain complexity correlates with behaviour complexity, especially feeding behaviour, which enables primates to have the capability in leaf processing step, tool use, or even food washing. Macaca fascicularis on Tinjil Island is one of the...

Dispersal has been suggested to be challenging, especially for species that heavily rely on social learning for knowledge acquisition. One of the obstacles that migrants face is learning how to cope with an unfamiliar, new habitat, which may involve learning from resident individuals. So far, only very few studies have looked at social learning in...

The Climate crisis is a global environmental issue, and the communication of causes, impacts, solutions, and actions to address it requires a consistent approach with information that is easily understood by the general public. This is critical because, ultimately, the success of solving the crisis depends on behavior toward a sustained low carbon...

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are distributed in tropical and subtropical areas in the world. Stingless bees are potential pollinator to increase yield of various crops species. We measured the pollination effectiveness of stingless bees, i.e., Tetragonula laeviceps in strawberry (Fragaria x annanassa) and Heterotrigona itama in melon (Cucumi...

Pemanfaatan ikan hiu sebagai bahan baku produk olahan perikanan dapat menyebabkan berkurangnya populasi ikan hiu yang juga rentan akan kepunahan. Ikan hiu pada umumnya diperdagangkan dalam bentuk sirip, daging ikan yang diasinkan dan direbus, minyak ikan serta sebagai bahan subtitusi pada pakan hewan sehingga proses identifikasi menggunakan metode...

DNA technology for profiling purposes has been used in many basic and applied science. One of the emerged applied science in genetics is it’s uses in solving crime cases. Homicide became one of highest crime cases in Indonesia. Solving its cases through DNA profiling technology using items of evidence as tool is needed. Here, we report the profilin...

Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) are the only great apes species endemic to Indonesia. Orangutans are endangered, occurring generally only in small fragmented populations in the wild. Such small population size might increase inbreeding depression and genetic drift, thereby leading to the loss of the adaptive potential. To date, a genetic databas...

The sumatran orangutan is one of the only Asian great apes that live with the lowest population size in the wild. This species as a large-bodied animal, slow life histories and low rates of reproduction are vulnerable to the negative effects of fragmented population. Despite their sister taxa in Borneo, not much genetic study for the sumatran...
