Eight species of amphibians, dominated by the family Dicroglossidae (Limnonectes ingeri, L. malesianus, L. paramacrodon and Fejervarya cancrivora) and 18 species of reptiles, dominated by the family Gekkonidae (Cnemaspis kendallii, Cyrtodactylus sp. A, Cyrtodactylus sp. B, Gekko gecko, G. monarchus and Hemidactylus frenatus) were recorded. Due to an impoverished fauna, unusual distribution of certain species has been observed. A Philautus sp. occurs from lowland up to the peak of the highest mountain in this island.

  • Field Guide to the Amphibians and Turtles of the Deramakot and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves
    Field guide to the amphibians and turtles of the Deramakot and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves Created by: Sami Asad, Victor Vitalis and Adi Shabrani INTRODUCTION The island of Borneo possesses a diverse array of amphibian species with more than 180 species currently described. Despite the high diversity of Bornean amphibians, data on their ecology, behaviour, life history and responses to disturbance are poorly understood. Amphibians play important roles within tropical ecosystems, providing prey for many species and predating invertebrates. This group is particularly sensitive to changes in habitat (particularly changes in temperature, water quality and micro-habitat availability). As such, the presence of a diverse amphibian community is a good indicator of a healthy forest ecosystem. The Deramakot (DFR) and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves (TPFR) are located in Sabah’s north Kinabatangan region (Figure. 1). The DFR is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and utilizes Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) techniques. The neighbouring TPFR has utilized Conventional Logging (CL) techniques. Conventional logging ceased in the TPFR in 2001, and the area’s forests are now at varying stages of regeneration. Previous research by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW), shows that these concessions support very high mammalian diversity. Figure. 1: Location of the Deramakot (DFR) and Tangkulap Pinangah Forest Reserves (TPFR) in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Between the years 2017 – 2019, an amphibian and reptile research project conducted in collaboration between the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (MfN), IZW and the Sabah Forestry Department (SFD) identified high amphibian diversity within the reserves. In total 52 amphibian species have been recorded (including one caecilian), constituting 27% of Borneo’s total amphibian diversity, comparable to two neighbouring unlogged sites (Maliau basin: 59 sp, Danum Valley: 55 sp).

Rainforests occur near the Earth's equator and cover 6% of the Earth's surface across the tropical regions and are characterized by wet climate, i.e., heavy rainfall (125—660 cm), relative humidity (77—88%) and temperature (20—34°C). They are dominated by a wide range of broad-leaved trees that form dense canopy and the most complex ecosystem. Currently, the tropical rainforest ecosystem is changing faster than ever in human history due to anthropogenic activities, such as habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation for timber and conversion into agri- culture fields (oil palm plantation), mining, fire, climate change, etc.

The herpetofaunal animals were searched actively using the visual encounter survey method. A total of 84 specimens of amphibians and reptiles were obtained, comprising 75 amphibians and nine reptiles. The total number of species obtained during the expedition was 33 (26 amphibian species and 7 reptilian species). Twenty species were obtained from Batu Timbang Camp (BTC) and 21 species were recorded from Imbak Canyon Study Centre (ICSC). The updated compiled list of species of herpetofauna at ICCA is now 73 species (37 amphibian species and 36 reptilian species).

  • SIGNIFICANT QUALITY of FRAGMENTED FORESTS in OIL PALM PLANTATIONS: LESSON from the ASSEMBLAGE STRUCTURE of FROGS (Amphibia: Anura)
    Journal of Oil Palm Research Vol. 31 (4) December 2019 p. 604-614 JOURNALDOI: https://doi.org/10.21894/jopr.2019.0050 OF OIL PALM RESEARCH 31 (4) (DECEMBER 2019) SIGNIFICANT QUALITY OF FRAGMENTED FORESTS IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONS: LESSON FROM THE ASSEMBLAGE STRUCTURE OF FROGS (Amphibia: Anura) RAMLAH ZAINUDIN*; ELVY QUATRIN DEKA*; MUHAMMAD FADZIL AMRAM*; SHARIZATTY MOHD RAIS*; NUR AMIRAH SUNGIF*; MARLY MATLEEN AUGUSTINE AGOH*; NOORAINA ATIRA ALAUDIN*; MOHAMAD AMIRUL AZMI* and JAYASILAN MOHD-AZLAN* ABSTRACT Being known as a good environmental indicator, the anuran is an ideal animal model for investigating the quality of High Conservation Value (HCV) areas (fragmented forests) in maintaining or enhancing biodiversity values in an oil palm plantation. Using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) frogs from forest fragments and oil palm were investigated and compared, to identify species assemblages and guild. Our findings showed that species diversity differed significantly between High Conservation Values and the plantation areas. The High Conservation Values showed highest percentage of species endemism, and species of conservation importance in the areas. The NMDS analysis further suggests that the anuran assemblages at the oil palm plantation were disjunctive as the HCV areas provide isolated assemblages to the anuran species, different from that of the plantations. The number of species was found to be significantly influenced by water temperature, turbidity, salinity, and level of dissolved oxygen. Overall, the HCV areas supports high species diversity, including endemic and near threatened species compared to the plantation areas. Hence, these HCV areas are functioning and should be maintained as high priority areas for faunal conservation in an oil palm plantation.
