  • Adventure Tourism in Selangor: Explore, Experience and Enjoy!
    ADVENTURE TOURISM IN SELANGOR: EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY! By Nurul Azlyna (CIFP,Bach. Of Acc (Hons), CMI) LET’S HIT THE ROAD Millions of people travel across the world every year and thus, making the tourism industry as a key role in the global economy. According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the industry accounted for 10.4% of global GDP and 319 million jobs, or 10% of total employment in 2018. Travellers travel with different purposes where some people travel for leisure or business while some travel due to specific interest such as medical or religion. Given the different purposes, tourism industry has been classified into various types to cater to the needs and preferences of all types of tourists. The following are the categories of tourism1: a. Leisure Under this purpose, travellers simply want to enjoy new experience of a destination and devoting their holiday to rest and relaxation. These tourists prefer to stay in some quiet and relaxed destination preferably at a hill resort, beach resort or island resort. b. Business The travellers’ main motive for travel is for work purpose such as attending a business meeting, conferences, conventions selling products, meeting clients. Business tourism is popularly known as MICE (Meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) tourism. c. Special Interest Interestingly, some people travel for special reasons such as religions, medical, education, hobbies and cultural. Under medical tourism for example, travellers go to places such as recommended specialist centre seeking for medical treatment. Meanwhile, the adventurous groups usually travel to spots that are popular for adventure activities such as bungee jumping or whale- 1 National Institute of Open Schooling watch.

  • Ecology, Biology and Taxonomy. Mudskippers
    Chapter of the edited collection: Mangroves: Ecology, Biology and Taxonomy. Mudskippers: human use, ecotoxicology and biomonitoring of mangrove and other soft bottom intertidal ecosystems. Gianluca Polgar 1 and Richard Lim 2 1Institute of Biological Sciences, Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Tel. +603-7967-4609 / 4182; e-mail: [email protected] / [email protected]. Web site: www.themudskipper.org 2Centre for Environmental Sustainability, School of the Environment, Faculty of Science, University of Technology Sydney, Broadway, New South Wales 2007, Australia. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract (269) Mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) are air-breathing gobies, which are widely distributed throughout the West African coast and the Indo-Pacific region. They are closely linked to mangrove and adjacent soft bottom peri-tidal ecosystems. Some species are amongst the best adapted fishes to an amphibious lifestyle. All mudskippers are benthic burrowers in anoxic sediments, and since tidal mudflats are efficient sediment traps, and sinks for nutrients and other chemical compounds, they are constantly in contact with several types of pollutants produced by industrial, agricultural and domestic activities. Due to their natural abundance, considerable resistance to highly polluted conditions, and their benthic habits, mudskippers are frequently used in aquatic ecotoxicological studies. For the same reasons, mudskippers also frequently occur in urbanised or semi-natural coastal areas. Since several species are widely consumed throughout their whole geographical range, these same characteristics also facilitate their aquaculture in several countries, such as Bangladesh, Thailand, Philippines, China, Taiwan and Japan. Even when not directly used, mudskippers are often abundant and are important prey items for many intertidal transient species (marine visitors), and several species of shorebirds.

The diversity of wild orchids in the southern slope of Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta, Indonesia eight years after the 2010 eruption. Biodiversitas 21: 4457-4465. The ecosystem of the slopes of Mount Merapi is mountain tropical forest which is frequently affected by volcanic activities. The dynamics of the volcano affect the diversity and abundance of orchids in the ecosystem. Tritis is an area included in the Turgo Hill of the southern slope of Mount Merapi and is under the management of Mount Merapi National Park. The ecosystem in Tritis area classified as lower mountain forest and it has been affected by Mount Merapi eruption. This study aimed to do an inventory of orchid species in Tritis to know the diversity and abundance of orchids that exist in this area.

  • Plastome Structure and Adaptive Evolution of Calanthe S.L. Species
    Plastome structure and adaptive evolution of Calanthe s.l. species Yanqiong Chen, Hui Zhong, Yating Zhu, Yuanzhen Huang, Shasha Wu, Zhongjian Liu, Siren Lan and Junwen Zhai Key Laboratory of National Forestry and Grassland Administration for Orchid Conservation and Utilization at College of Landscape Architecture, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China Fujian Ornamental Plant Germplasm Resources Innovation & Engineering Application Research Center, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China ABSTRACT Calanthe s.l. is the most diverse group in the tribe Collabieae (Orchidaceae), which are pantropical in distribution. Illumina sequencing followed by de novo assembly was used in this study, and the plastid genetic information of Calanthe s.l. was used to investigate the adaptive evolution of this taxon. Herein, the complete plastome of five Calanthe s.l. species (Calanthe davidii, Styloglossum lyroglossa, Preptanthe rubens, Cephalantheropsis obcordata, and Phaius tankervilliae) were determined, and the two other published plastome sequences of Calanthe s.l. were added for comparative analyses to examine the evolutionary pattern of the plastome in the alliance. The seven plastomes ranged from 150,181 bp (C. delavayi) to 159,014 bp (C. davidii) in length and were all mapped as circular structures. Except for the three ndh genes (ndhC, ndhF, and ndhK ) lost in C. delavayi, the remaining six species contain identical gene orders and numbers (115 gene). Nucleotide diversity was detected across the plastomes, and we screened 14 mutational hotspot regions, including 12 non-coding regions and two gene regions. For the adaptive evolution investigation, three species showed positive selected genes compared with others, C.

    SyNOPSIS OF THE TRICHOCENTRUM-CLADE (ORCHIDACEAE, ONCIDIINAE) WILLIAM CETZAL-IX,1–3 GERMÁN CARNEVALI,1, 4 AND GUSTAVO ROMERO-GONZÁLEZ1, 4 Abstract: We present a synopsis of the Trichocentrum-clade of Oncidiinae. In this revision, we recognize 85 taxa assigned to four genera: Cohniella with 23 species in five complexes and two natural hybrids; Lophiaris with 27 species and eight natural hybrids, six of which are yet to be named; Trichocentrum with 27 species and two subspecies; and Lophiarella with three species. Cohniella yuroraensis is referred to the synonymy of C. ultrajectina, C. allenii and C. christensoniana to the synonymy of C. nuda, and C. croatii to C. lacera. Trichocentrum perezii is referred to the synonymy of Lophiaris andreana. A key to the genera of the Trichocentrum-clade is presented as well as keys to the complexes or groups of species and, when applicable, natural hybrids of Cohniella, Lophiarella, Lophiaris, and Trichocentrum. Keywords: Cohniella, geographic distribution, Lophiarella, Lophiaris, nomenclature, Trichocentrum The Trichocentrum Poeppig & Endlicher clade of endemic), Venezuela (3 endemic) all with 14 taxa, Honduras Oncidiinae, as circumscribed here, includes four genera: with 12 taxa, and Bolivia (one endemic), Guatemala, and Cohniella Pfitzer, Lophiarella Szlachetko, Mytnik-Ejsmont El Salvador all with 11 taxa. Other countries are represented & Romowicz, Lophiaris Rafinesque, and Trichocentrum by fewer than 10 taxa (Table 1). (Carnevali et al., 2013). Some authors recognize this clade Characters used to recognize taxa and hybrids within as a single genus using a broad definition forTrichocentrum the genera are primarily floral, such as the size and color (Williams et al., 2001; Sosa et al., 2001; Chase, 2009; (especially color patterns) of the flowers, shape and Neubig et al., 2012).
