    Bhutan Birding the Buddhist Kingdom II & Assam Extension 8th April to 1st May 2018 (25 Days) Trip Report Beautiful Nuthatch by David Erterius Trip report compiled by Tour Leaders: David Erterius & Greg de Klerk Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Bhutan Trip Report – RBL Bhutan - Birding the Buddhist Kingdom II & Assam Ext 2018 2 Tour Summary There can hardly be a greater contrast on a birding tour than this tour through Assam and the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan! We began our tour with an impromptu birding session in the hotel gardens, where we located Yellow-footed Green Pigeon, Indian Cuckoo, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Coppersmith Barbet, Striated Swallow, Dusky Warbler, Striated Grassbird, Zitting Cisticola, Common Tailorbird and Oriental Magpie-Robin before navigating through the bustling Indian city of Guwahati. Our next stop was a regional waste dump. It is here, among the swathes of trash – which had been fermenting due to the pre-monsoon rains – that we connected with the critically endangered Greater Adjutant. Fittingly, these large grotesque stalks were found scavenging between heaps of waste being moved by excavators in close proximity to the main entrance. We then had the leisure of exploring the surrounding area, which yielded Lesser Whistling Duck, Garganey, Glossy Ibis, Grey-headed Swamphen, Black-winged Stilt, Whiskered Tern, Great Myna, Rosy Pipit, and Citrine and White Wagtails. After our visit to the rolling panoramas of the landfill site, we traversed many kilometres of cultivation and villages – dotted with occasional Black-winged Kite – as we made our way to Nameri. After a quick break in Tezpur, we made the final stretch of the journey to Nameri, collecting Grey-breasted Prinia en route, where we stopped for lunch in the company of a couple of Common Blue-tailed Bee-eater by Keith Hill Mynas.

    FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season.

  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Kanker adalah pertumbuhan sel yang abnormal disebabkan perubahan ekspresi gen yang mengarah ke disregulasi proliferasi sel, dan akhirnya berkembang menjadi populasi yang bisa menyerang jaringan serta bermetastasis ke tempat jauh, menyebabkan morbiditas dan jika tidak diobati mengakibatkan kematian (Ruddon. 2007). Kanker payudara merupakan salah satu pemicu terbesar kematian yang disebabkan oleh kanker. Tingkat kejadian kanker payudara merupakan tertinggi kedua di Indonesia setelah kanker leher rahim (Depkes RI. 2015). Beberapa faktor yang berperan dalam patogenesis kanker payudara yaitu faktor lingkungan dan genetik (Chodidjah. et al., 2014). Banyak strategi terapi yang digunakan untuk pengobatan penyakit kanker, contohnya agen kemoterapi. Namun, pengobatan dengan kemoterapi dapat menyebabkan toksisitas sistemik dan toksisitas jantung (Tyagi et al.. 2013). Adanya efek samping penggunaan kemoterapi mendorong usaha-usaha untuk menemukan obat dari bahan alam. Walaupun semakin berkembangnya metode kimia sintesis untuk menemukan dan memproduksi obat baru, namun potensi tanaman bioaktif atau ekstrak untuk menyediakan produk baru, pengobatan baru atau pencegahan penyakit masih sangat besar (Talib and Mahasneh.. 2010). Secara tradisional. masyarakat telah memanfaatkan keladi tikus (Typhonium flagelliforme) sebagai terapi kanker payudara (Chodidjah. et al.. 2014). Keladi Tikus merupakan tanaman herba yang dapat mengobati berbagai penyakit. seperti luka, penyakit paru-paru dan pendarahan (Mankaran et al.. 2013). Tanaman ini mengandung senyawa fitol dan turunan fitol (Lai et al.. 2008). Senyawa fitol memiliki aktivitas induksi apoptosis dengan mekanisme menurunkan regulasi Bcl-2 dan meningkatkan regulasi Bax (Song and Cho. 2015). Penelitian sebelumnya melaporkan bahwa ekstrak etanol 50% keladi tikus memiliki efek sitotoksik terhadap sel HeLa dengan IC50 30,19 µg/mL 1 2 (Purwaningsih et al.
