Mamalia Kecil Terestrial di Gunung Singgalang, Sumatera Barat
Full text linkMt. Singgalang have high diversity of flora and fauna, which also drives the high diversity of small terrestrial mammals. A study on diversity of small terrestrial mammals (Muridae, Erinaceidae and Soricidae) has been caried out from July to August 2012 by using an extensive trapping method. This research used 30 snap traps and 10 20L pit fall trap drift fences in 360 trap-nights. Fourty individu of small terrestrial mammals have been caught, belong to six genera, three families and two orders. Those species were Hylomys suillus, Crocidura beccarii, Crocidura neglecta, Leopoldamys sabanus, Maxomys hylomyoides, Maxomys surifer, Niviventer rapit, and Sundamys infraluteus. Pit fall trap drift fences was more effective method to trap Crocidura spp.Keywords: species identification, small terrestrial mammals, Mt.Singgalan
Jenis-Jenis Balanophoraceae Di Sumatera Barat
Full text linkThe study of Balanophoraceae in West Sumatra has been conducted from January to May 2012. This study used observation and direct collection method at seven locations in West Sumatra and continued in Herbarium Andalas University (ANDA). The result indicated that three spesies of Balanophora (B. elongata, B. indica, and B.dioica) were identified. B. elongata has 9 female individuals, B. indica has 2 male individuals and 1 female individual, B. dioica 1 male individual and 1 female individual. The tuber was significant character to distinguish three studied spesies of Balanophora. B. elongata and B. dioica had a branched tuber but no branched tuber was detected in B. indica. The leaf color and the type of inflorescence were also valuable characters to differ between these species. It was assumed that most of the Balanophora species were found in habitat where the precipitation is 2500-5000 mm/year along mountain rain forest in Sumatra.Keywords: spesies, Balanophora, character, habitat, west sumatr
Inventarisasi Jenis-jenis Mamalia di Hutan Pendidikan dan Penelitian Biologi (HPPB) Universitas Andalas dengan Menggunakan Camera Trap
Full text linkAn inventory of mammalian species at The Biological Education and Research Forest (HPPB) Andalas University was conducted from November 2011 to March 2012. We used six camera traps operated along forest paths where those predicted as regular tracks of the animals. We successfully identified ten species of mammals in which they belong to ten families and six orders. Those identified species were Hylomys suillus, Macaca nemestrina, Manis javanicus, Lariscus insignis, Hystrix brachyura, Ursus malayanus, Panthera tigris sumatrae, Sus scrofa, Tragulus javanicus and Muntiacus muntjak. The two species, Lariscus insignis and Hylomys suillus were new record from this area.Keywords: mammals, camera trap, Biological Education and Research Fores
