Status Lingkungan Hidup BUKU STATUS LINGKUNGAN HIDUP KATA PENGANTAR Ses uai dengan Motto / Semboyan Kabupaten Barit o Selatan menjadi kota “BATUAH = Bers ih, A man, Tertib, Unik, Asri dan Har monis”, maka pembangunan yang dilaks anakan selain berk elanjutan juga berwawasan lingkungan. Hal ini dapat terlaksana apabila t ers edia data yang akurat, terukur dan transparan. Peny usunan Buku Status Lingk ungan Hidup (SLH) Kabupaten Barito Selatan ini dibuat untuk memberikan gambaran St atus Lingkungan, f aktor-f aktor penekannya, serta respon y ang dilakukan unt uk mengelola lingkungan ters ebut. Inform asi serta analisa yang disajikan ini masih terbatas dan bany ak kekurangannya, dis ebabkan oleh terbat asny a data- data yang tersedia baik pada Badan / Dinas / Instansi t erkait maupun keadaan dilapangan yang belum dapat dijangkau secara keseluruhan serta kem ampuan penyusun y ang masih kurang terlatih dalam peny usunan laporan ini. Oleh Karena itu diharapk an saran dan masukan untuk perbaik an dan kesem purnaan penyus unan laporan Stat us Lingkungan Hidup Kabupat en Barito Selatan untuk tahun yang akan datang. Sistematika Penyusunan Status Lingkungan Hidup Kabupat en Barito Selatan ini mengacu pada Pedoman Basis Data dan Pelaporan Stat us Lingkungan Hidup dan Pedoman Umum Penyusunan Lingkungan Hidup ProVins i dan Kabupaten/Kot a Tahun 2008, yang dit erbitkan oleh Kementerian Negara Lingkungan Hidup di J akarta. Kepada semua pihak yang telah membantu dalam peny usunan Buku Status Lingkungan Hidup (SLH) Kabupaten Barito Selat an ini diucapkan terima kas ih.

E-mail [email protected] Abstract Previous molecular phylogenetic hypotheses for the Homalopsidae, the Oriental-Australian Rear-fanged Water Snakes indicate that Enhydris, the most speciose genus in the Homalopsidae (22 of 37 species), is polyphyletic and may consist of five separate lineages. We expand on earlier phylogenetic hypotheses using three mitochondrial fragments and one nuclear gene, previously shown to be rapidly evolving in snakes, to determine relationships among six closely related species: Enhydris enhydris, E. subtaeniata, E. chinensis, E. innominata, E. jagorii, and E. longicauda. Four of these species (E. subtaeniata, E. innominata, E. jagorii, and E. longicauda) are restricted to river basins in Indochina, while E. chinensis is found in southern China and E. enhydris is widely distributed from India across Southeast Asia. Our phylogenetic analyses indicate that these species are monophyletic and we recognize this clade as the Enhydris clade sensu stricto for nomenclatural reasons. Our analysis shows that E.

Because rear-fanged snakes are a diverse and distinct radiation of the advanced snakes, understanding venom composition among “colubrids” is critical to understanding the evolution of venom among snakes. Here we review the state of knowledge concerning rear-fanged snake venom composition, emphasizing those toxins for which protein or transcript sequences are available. We have also added new transcriptome-based data on venoms of three species of rear-fanged snakes. Based on this compilation, it is apparent that several components, including cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRiSPs), C-type lectins (CTLs), CTLs-like proteins and snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), are broadly distributed among “colubrid” venoms, while others, notably three-finger toxins (3FTxs), appear nearly restricted to the Colubridae (sensu stricto).

We collected data from nine loci for E. subtaeniata, and four for E. enhydris. Four E. subtaeniata litters and two E. enhydris litters were genotyped. All litters showed multiple paternity with three to five fathers typically detected. This is the first report of multiple paternity from a tropical Asian snake taxon. We discuss the significance of the results with respect to squamate behavioral ecology and compare our results to other studies on multiple paternity in reptiles. Key Words.―Enhydris enhydris; Enhydris subtaeniata; Homalopsidae; microsatellites; mud snakes; multiple paternity INTRODUCTION These studies include three taxonomic families (Pythonidae, Viperidae, and Colubridae; Lawson et al.

    Asian Herpetological Research 2013, 4(1): 76–78 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1245.2013.00076 Gerarda prevostiana (Eydoux and Gervais, 1837) (Squamata: Ser- pentes: Homalopsidae), a New Snake for Borneo Indraneil DAS*, Hans BREUER and Samuel SHONLEBEN Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation, Universiti Malaysia, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract A new record of the homalopsid snake, Gerarda prevostiana is presented from a mangrove-dominated patch in the vicinity of Kampung Bako, Sarawak, East Malaysia, and this comprises the first published record from the Sundaic Island of Borneo. A possible second locality for the species is a ca. 6.68 km site to its northeast, Kampung Buntal, based on an unlocated museum specimen. The species is widespread in mainland Southeast Asia, with additional records to the west (the Indian Subcontinent) and east (the Philippines Archipelago), but was previously unrecorded from the islands of the Sundas. The secretive habits of the species, including the occupancy of mud lobster (Thalassinia spp.) mounds in mostly inaccessible, swampy habitats may be a reason for its perceived rarity and few published records. Keywords Gerarda prevostiana, serpentes, Squamata, Homalopsidae, Borneo, new record Gerarda prevostiana was described as Coluber WGS 84; Figure 4), Kuching Division, Sarawak, East (Homalopsis) prevostianus Eydoux & Gervais (1837), Malaysia.

  • Reproductive and Trophic Ecology of an Assemblage of Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Snakes in Tonle Sap, Cambodia
    Copeia 2009, No. 1, 7–20 Reproductive and Trophic Ecology of an Assemblage of Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Snakes in Tonle Sap, Cambodia Sharon E. Brooks1, Edward H. Allison2, Jennifer A. Gill3, and John D. Reynolds4 We studied the reproductive and trophic ecology of a group of aquatic and semi-aquatic snakes that face severe hunting pressure in Cambodia. Over a two-year period we sampled hunters’ catches, measuring and dissecting a total of 8982 specimens of seven snake species, five of which belong to the family Homalopsidae. The seven species—Enhydris enhydris, Enhydris longicauda, Homalopsis buccata, Enhydris bocourti, Erpeton tentaculatus, Xenochrophis piscator, and Cylindrophis ruffus—all inhabit Tonle Sap Lake, the largest lake in South-East Asia. All species are sexually dimorphic in either body size or tail length. The larger species, E. bocourti and H. buccata, have a larger size at maturity, and the non- homalopsids, X. piscator and C. ruffus, have the highest and lowest fecundities, respectively. Clutch size increases significantly with female body size in all species, and with body conditioninE. enhydris. Our data also suggest that relative investment in reproduction increases with size in E. enhydris, which has the largest sample size. All species except one are synchronized in their timing of reproduction with the seasonally receding flood waters of the lake. There was variation in both the frequency of feeding and the prey size and type among species, with the homalopsids more similar to one another than to the other non-homalopsid species. The prey to predator mass ratio ranged from 0.04 to 0.1 in the homalopsids, compared to 0.15 to 0.17 in the non-homalopsids.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: 29 January 2012; Accepted: 20 July 2012 ABSTRACT.– This study examines between-population variation of the Mekong Mud Snake, Enhydris subtaeniata (Bourret, 1934) in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam, and relates the observed patterns to previously published patterns based on molecular data. Enhydris subtaeniata were collected from six representative locations throughout its range that encompassed three important river drainage basins: the Chao Phraya, the Middle Mekong and the Lower Mekong. Data on size, sexual size dimorphism, scalation, reproductive biology and diet were used to explore biogeographical patterns revealed by a previously published phylogenetic and population genetic analysis. In several cases the size and reproductive characteristics mirrored the genetic differences and habitat differences associated with the sampled locations.

  • Crab Ripping
    BULLETIN of the Chicago Herpetological Society Volume 53, Number 3 March 2018 Bulletin of the Chicago Herpetological Society 53(3):53-56, 2018 Crab-ripping: An Unusual Feeding Behavior Newly Recorded in Freshwater Snakes Thanit Noonloy1, Kirati Kunya2, Lawan Chanhome3, Montri Sumontha4, Nirut Chomngam5 and Olivier S. G. Pauwels6, 7 Abstract Snakes swallow their prey whole and their prey size is thus limited by their maximal gape, with exceptions being three scolecophidian snakes known to be able to decapitate termites, and two mangrove-dwelling snakes (Squamata: Homalopsidae: Gerarda prevostiana and Fordonia leucobalia) that are able to remove and ingest pieces from crabs. Here we present the first report of crab-ripping in a freshwater snake, based on observations made on adult Spencer’s Mountain Keelbacks (Squamata: Natricidae: Opisthotropis cf. spenceri) tearing apart live, freshly molted Chaiyaphum Crabs (Decapoda: Potamidae: Larnaudia chaiya- phumi) in a mountain stream in Phetchabun Province, northeastern Thailand. Our observations represent the sixth documented report of arthropod-ripping in snakes, and the first for natricids and freshwater snakes. Keywords Aquatic ecosystems, biodiversity, herpetofauna, Crustacea, ecology, feeding behavior, carcinophagy, Thailand. Introduction Materials and methods Because snakes swallow their prey whole, the size of their Visits to the stream occurred on 17 February, 9 March, 5 prey is directly limited by the size of their gape. Only very rare May and 23 December 2015. Each visit lasted about 6 hours, exceptions to this universal rule are known. They are found in two from before to after dusk, and included portions of the stream coastal marine Southeast Asian snake species, the homalopsids located within or just outside Wang Pong – Chon Daen Non- Fordonia leucobalia (Schlegel, 1837) and Gerarda prevostiana hunting Area.

    Public perceptions of snakes and snakebite management: implications for conservation and human health in southern Nepal Pandey et al. Pandey et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:22 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0092-0 Pandey et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:22 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0092-0 RESEARCH Open Access Public perceptions of snakes and snakebite management: implications for conservation and human health in southern Nepal Deb Prasad Pandey1*, Gita Subedi Pandey2, Kamal Devkota3 and Matt Goode4 Abstract Background: Venomous snakebite and its effects are a source of fear for people living in southern Nepal. As a result, people have developed a negative attitude towards snakes, which can lead to human-snake conflicts that result in killing of snakes. Attempting to kill snakes increases the risk of snakebite, and actual killing of snakes contributes to loss of biodiversity. Currently, snake populations in southern Nepal are thought to be declining, but more research is needed to evaluate the conservation status of snakes. Therefore, we assessed attitudes, knowledge, and awareness of snakes and snakebite by Chitwan National Park’s (CNP) buffer zone (BZ) inhabitants in an effort to better understand challenges to snake conservation and snakebite management. The results of this study have the potential to promote biodiversity conservation and increase human health in southern Nepal and beyond. Methods: We carried out face-to-face interviews of 150 randomly selected CNP BZ inhabitants, adopting a cross- sectional mixed research design and structured and semi-structured questionnaires from January–February 2013. Results: Results indicated that 43 % of respondents disliked snakes, 49 % would exterminate all venomous snakes, and 86 % feared snakes.
