Ectoparasites of wild rodents in forest sites invaded and uninvaded by Maesopsis eminii in Amani nature forest reserve, Tanzania
No full textParasites are important component of communities in a forest ecosystem with profound effects on trophic interactions such as food web. Modification of the forest structure (e.g. changes in species composition and abundance of key species) can have a strong impact on the occurrence, diversity, and abundance of parasites, with subsequent repercussions for ecosystem functioning. In this study, we compared the occurrence and abundance of wild rodents’ ectoparasites from forest sites invaded and uninvaded by an invasive tree, Maesopsis eminii in Amani Nature Forest Reserve, Tanzania. Three large plots (40 m × 100 m) were randomly established in each forest sites invaded and uninvaded by M. eminii. In each plot, 50 Sherman traps were systematically placed at 10 m interval for capturing wild rodents through a capture-mark-recapture technique. Wilcox rank sum test was used to compare for differences in the abundance of infested rodents and ectoparasites between the invaded and uninvaded forest sites. A total of 297 individual rodents were captured and screened for ectoparasites, including 174 rodents from uninvaded forest site and 123 rodents from invaded forest site. The number of infested rodents were significantly (W = 8592, P < 0.001) greater in uninvaded forest site (66.27%) than in the invaded forest site (36.2%). Furthermore, a significant greater number of Echinolaelaps echidninus (W = 1849, P < 0.01) and Dinopsyllus ellobius (W = 2800.5, P < 0.05) ectoparasites were found in uninvaded as compared to the invaded forest sites. The results of this study suggest that the invasion and dominance by, M. eminii in Amani Nature Reserve has created unfavorable conditions for rodents and ectoparasites and therefore impacting the diversity and function of the forest ecosystem. We recommend prevention of further introduction of the M. eminii outside their natural range and mitigating the impact of the established M. eminii in Amani Forest Nature Reserve

Kemudian menggambarkan kegiatan pelayanan visa umroh Umroh PT. Raudhah Amani Wisata Jakarta Selatan, mendeskripsikan proses pembuatan visa umroh Umroh PT. Raudhah Amani Wisata Jakarta Selatan, serta memaparkan faktor pendukung dan penghambat serta solusi dalam pelayanan visa umroh PT. Raudhah Amani Wisata Jakarta Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kasus yang dilakukan melalui penelitian lapangan (field research). Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa sistem pelayanan visa umroh yang dilakukan oleh Umroh PT. Raudhah Amani Wisata Jakarta Selatan sudah sesuai dengan teori pakar Tatang M. Amirin, yaitu dengan adanya tiga unsur sistem; input-proses-output. Adapun inputnya adalah 5S, telepon kantor yang tidak boleh lebih dari tiga kali berdering serta harga yang cenderung lebih murah dibanding provider lain. Proses sistemnya meliputi penyerahan dokumen kepada RAMANI, manifes data jamaah, mendapatkan MOFA sampai pada tahap menyerahkan semua kelengkapan persyaratan visa kepada KBSA. Sedangkan pada output sistemnya adalah bentuk visa yang sudah jadi dan siap digunakan oleh jamaah sesuai dengan ketentuan durasi lamanya waktu tinggal yang telah tertulis di atas visa tersebut. Sesuai hasil tersebut, peneliti menyarankan agar PT. Raudhah Amani Wisata Jakarta Selatan mempertahankan sistem pelayanan visa yang telah dimiliki serta mengadakan evaluasi guna memberikan pelayanan yang lebih baik lagi dimasa mendatang
