(2017): Herpetofauna diversity in Hin Nam No National Protected Area, Khammouane, Laos. A scientific report of the German project “Integrated Nature Conservation and Sustainable Resource Management in the Hin Nam No Region (HNN)”, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the final report of a herpetodiversity research, which was commissioned by GIZ Hin Nam No National Project. The herpetology research team undertaken 33-day field work in four sites within HNN NPA between March and April 2017. Based on the specimen identification and direct observation in the field, we recorded a total of 55 species (33 species of reptiles and 22 species of amphibians) from HNN NPA. To combine with the results from previous studies, the species number of the herpetofauna of HNN NPA is 71 (44 species of reptiles and 27 species of amphibians). Among four survey sites Nong Ma has the highest number of recorded species (32), followed by Dou (22), Nong Ping (22), and Thong Xam (17). The research team also found 15 new records for the herpetofauna of HNN NPA. Remarkably, the specimen of Keelback snake collected in Nong Ma may represent a second specimen of Hebius andreae described by Ziegler & Le more than 10 years ago. Statistic analysis showed that herpetofauna of Thong Xam is similar to that of Nong Ping and the highest difference is between Thong Xam and Nong Ma. In comparison with this data from PNKB NPA we found that 6 reptile species are only known to occur in HNN NPA only. Four of them are endemic species on the western side of the Annamite Mountain Range. Threatened species: Among 71 species recorded from HNN NPA, seven species are being globally or nationally threatened: seven species listed in the IUCN Red List (2017) and two species in the Appendix II of CITES (2017). Although the number of threatened species is not so high (ca. 10% of the total species), they are very rare in the wild. Recommendations for biodiversity conservation: • Support for further herpetodiversity research • Identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation ບົດລາຍງານການສໍາຫຼວດສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄິ່ງນໍ㛉າ ຜົນການສໍາຫຼວດຄວາມຫຼາກຫຼາຍຂອງສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄິ່ງນໍ㛉າ ໃນປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈 ແຂວງ ຄໍາມ່ວນ, ປະເທດລາວ ບົດລາຍງານຫຍ 㛉 ນີີ້ແມ່ນບົດລາຍງານສະບັບສົມບູນຂອງການສຶກສາຄົີ້ນຄ້ວາສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າ ແລະ ສັດເລືອຄານ ທີິ່ໄດ້ຮັບການມອບໝ າຍໂດຍໂຄງການຈີໄອແຊັດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈. ທີມງານສຶກສາຄົີ້ນຄ້ວານີີ້ໃຊ້ເວລາ 33 ວັນໃນການເຮັດວຽກພາກສະໜາມ ພາຍໃນ 4 ພືີ້ນທີິ່ທີິ່ຢ່ ໃນເຂດປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈ໃນຊ່ວງລະຫວ່າງ ເດືອນ ມີນາ ຫາ ເດືອນ ເມສາ 2017 ອີງຕາມການຈໍາແນກຕົວຢ່າງຂອງຊະນ ດພັນ ແລະ ການສັງເກດຕົວຈ ງໃນພາກສະໜາມ ພວກເຮົາໄດ້ບັນທຶກທັງໝົດມີ 55 ຊະນ ດພັນ (ສັດເລືອຄານ 33 ຊະນ ດພັນ ແລະ ສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າ 22 ຊະນ ດພັນ) ຈາກປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນ ໜາມໜ 㛈. ເພືິ່ອສົມທົບກັບຜົນໄດ້ຮັບຈາກການສຶກສາຄົີ້ນຄ້ວາໃນເມືິ່ອກ່ອນ, ຈໍານວນຊະນ ດພັນຂອງສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄິ່ ງນໍ㛉າຂອງປ່າ ສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈ແມ່ນ 71 ຊະນ ດພັນ (ສັດເລືອຄານ 44 ຊະນ ດພັນ ແລະ ສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າ 27 ຊະນ ດ ພັນ). ໃນບັນດາການສໍາຫຼວດພືີ້ນທີິ່ 4 ແຫ່ງນີີ້: ເຂດໜອງມ້າມີການບັນທຶກຈໍານວນຊະນ ດພັນຫຼາຍກວ່າໝູ່ (32 ຊະນ ດ ພັນ), ຕ 㛈ມາແມ່ນ ເຂດບ້ານ ດຸ (22 ຊະນ ດພັນ), ເຂດໜອງປິງ (22 ຊະນ ດພັນ) ແລະ ເຂດທົງຊໍ㛉າ (17 ຊະນ ດພັນ). ນອກຈາກນັີ້ນ ທີິ່ມງານສໍາຫຼວດກ 㛈ໄດ້ຍັງມີການບັນທຶກໃໝ່ຈໍານວນ 15 ຊະນ ດພັນສໍາລັບສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າຂອງປ່າ ສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈. ໂດຍສະເພາະແມ່ນ ຕົວຢ່າງຊະນ ດພັນງ ທີິ່ໄດ້ເກັບກໍາໃນເຂດໜອງມ້າອາດຈະເປັນ ຕົວຢ່າງຊະນ ດພັນທີສອງຂອງ Hebius andreae ທີິ່ໄດ້ອະທ າບໂດຍ ທ່ານ ຊ ກເລີ ແລະ ເລ ໃນເມືິ່ອຫຼາຍກວ່າ 10 ປີ ກ່ອນ. ການວ ເຄາະທາງດ້ານສະຖ ຕ ສະແດງໃຫ້ເຫັນວ່າສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າໃນເຂດບ້ານທົງຊ㛉ໍາແມ່ນຄ້າຍຄືກັບເຂດບ້ານໜອງປິງ ແລະ ມີຄວາມແຕກຕ່າງກັນຫຼາຍລະຫວ່າງເຂດບ້ານທົງຊໍ㛉າ ກັບ ເຂດບ້ານໜອງມ້າ ເມືິ່ອສົມທຽບຂ 㛉ມູນນີີ້ໃນອຸທ ຍານແຫ່ງຊາດຟອງຍາແກບ່າງ ພວກເຮົາໄດ້ເຫັນວ່າ ມີສັດເລືອຄານ 6 ຊະນ ດແມ່ນຮູ້ວ່າມີ ພຽງຢູ່ໃນປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈ເທົານັີ້ນ ເຊ ິ່ງໃນນັີ້ນມີ 4 ຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ເປັນຊະນ ດພັນສະເພາະຖ ິ່ນໃນເຂດ ເບືີ້ອງຕາເວັນຕົກສ່ຽງເໜືອຂອງສາຍພູຫຼວງ. ຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ຖືກໄພຂົມຂູ່: ໃນບັນດາ 71 ຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ໄດ້ບັນທຶກຈາກປ່າສະຫງວນແຫ່ງຊາດຫີນໜາມໜ 㛈 ມີ 7 ຊະນ ດ ພັນທີິ່ກໍາລັງຖືກໄພຂົມຂູ່ຂອງໂລກ ຫຼື ພາຍໃນປະເທດ: ມີ 7 ຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ໄດ້ຂືີ້ນບັນຊີແດງຂອງອົງການ IUCN (2017) ແລະ ມີ 2 ຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ລະບຸໄວ້ໃນເອກະສານຊ້ອນທ້າຍ II ຂອງ CITES (2017). ເຖ ງແມ່ນວ່າຈໍານວນ ຊະນ ດພັນແມ່ນຍັງບ 㛈ທັນຫຼາຍ (ປະມານ 10%ຂອງຊະນ ດພັນທັງໝົດ) ແຕ່ວ່າພວກມັນເປັນຊະນ ດພັນທີິ່ຫາຍາກຢູ່ໃນ ປ່າ. ຄໍາແນະນໍາສໍາລັບການອະນຸລັກຊີວະນາໆພັນ: • ການສະໜັບສະໜູນສໍາລັບການສຶກສາຄົີ້ນຄ້ວາກ່ຽວກັບຄວາມລາກຫຼາຍຂອງສັດເລືອຄານ ແລະ ສັດເຄ ິ່ງບົກ ເຄ ິ່ງນໍ㛉າໃນຕ 㛈ໜ້າ • ການກໍານົດເຂດພືີ້ນທີິ່ບຸລ ມະສ ດສໍາລັບການອະນຸລັກຊີວະນາໆພັນ TABLE OF CONTENT ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS ........................................................................................................... i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................................................. iii 1.

    UNTUK KAJIAN BIODIVERSITI BANDAR DI PUTRAJAYA LAPORAN INVENTORI HIDUPAN LIAR PUTRAJAYA 2019 JABATAN PERLINDUNGAN HIDUPAN LIAR DAN TAMAN NEGARA SEMENANJUNG MALAYSIA MAC-MEI 2019 RUMUSAN Pengenalan satu siri program inventori hidupan liar telah dijalankan di Putrajaya pada Mac- Mei 2019 dengan bertujuan mengemaskini profil hidupan liar untuk perancangan dan pengurusan hidupan liar di Putrajaya demi kesejahteraan dan konservasi biodiversiti bandar Putrajaya dan penduduk setempatnya. Methodologi Cara pencerapan mengikut SOP dan Manual Inventori PERHILITAN: i. pemerhatian secara langsung dan tidak langsung (sounds, signs & footprints); ii. aktiviti pencarian aktif; iii. pemasangan perangkap mengikut sasaran kumpulan; iv. pengumpulan data sekunder melalui perbualan dengan warga setempat. Perangkap mamalia yang digunakan termasuklah harp trap, mist net, sangkar perangkap dan perangkap kamera; perangkap jaring dan sangkar perangkap bagi reptilia dan pitfall untuk amfibia. Hasil Sebanyak 23 spesies mamalia, 99 spesies burung, 8 spesies reptilia dan 7 spesies katak telah direkod untuk kajian ini, di mana 12 spesies mamalia, 39 spesies burung dan 2 spesies reptilia adalah rekod baru untuk Putrajaya. Penemuan ini menjadikan senarai semak hidupan liar Putrajaya telah meningkat kepada 37 spesies untuk mamalia; 142 spesies untuk burung; 19 spesies untuk reptilia dan 14 spesies untuk katak. Perbincangan Belukar di tepi jalan merupakan habitat utama bagi mamalia (55% - non-volan dan 31% - volan). Bulan April adalah musim pembiakan untuk spesies kelawar buah (Pteropodidae) di Putrajaya (mengandung – 19.0%; menyusu – 21.4%). Pemakanan hidupan liar yang mengamalkan frugivorous atau omnivorous di Putrajaya amat bergantung kepada kelapa sawit termasuk kelawar buah, burung residen dan burung hijrah pada waktu bukan musim berbuah. Penemuan kesan kelongsong peluru, jerat dan aktiviti memburu di bahagian selatan Putrajaya (Presint 5 dan 20) menunjukkan bahawa kawasan ini telah menjadi ‘hot spot’ pemburuan haram bagi spesies ayam hutan.

  • Reptiles of Phetchaburi Province, Western Thailand: a List of Species, with Natural History Notes, and a Discussion on the Biogeography at the Isthmus of Kra
    The Natural History Journal of Chulalongkorn University 3(1): 23-53, April 2003 ©2003 by Chulalongkorn University Reptiles of Phetchaburi Province, Western Thailand: a list of species, with natural history notes, and a discussion on the biogeography at the Isthmus of Kra OLIVIER S.G. PAUWELS 1*, PATRICK DAVID 2, CHUCHEEP CHIMSUNCHART 3 AND KUMTHORN THIRAKHUPT 4 1 Department of Recent Vertebrates, Institut Royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, 29 rue Vautier, 1000 Brussels, BELGIUM 2 UMS 602 Taxinomie-collection – Reptiles & Amphibiens, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 25 rue Cuvier, 75005 Paris, FRANCE 3 65 Moo 1, Tumbon Tumlu, Amphoe Ban Lat, Phetchaburi 76150, THAILAND 4 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, THAILAND ABSTRACT.–A study of herpetological biodiversity was conducted in Phetcha- buri Province, in the upper part of peninsular Thailand. On the basis of a review of available literature, original field observations and examination of museum collections, a preliminary list of 81 species (12 chelonians, 2 crocodiles, 23 lizards, and 44 snakes) is established, of which 52 (64 %) are reported from the province for the first time. The possible presence of additional species is discussed. Some biological data on the new specimens are provided including some range extensions and new size records. The herpetofauna of Phetchaburi shows strong Sundaic affinities, with about 88 % of the recorded species being also found south of the Isthmus of Kra. A biogeographic affinity analysis suggests that the Isthmus of Kra plays the role of a biogeographic filter, due both to the repeated changes in climate during the Quaternary and to the current increase of the dry season duration along the peninsula from south to north.

  • Driving Change in South East Asian Trawl Fisheries, Fishmeal Supply, And
    Driving change in South East Asian trawl fisheries, fishmeal supply, and aquafeed Report to IFFO, The Marine Ingredients Organisation and the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) by Duncan Leadbitter Director Fish Matter Pty Ltd August, 2019 1 About the Project sponsors IFFO, The Marine Ingredients Organisation IFFO represents the marine ingredients industry worldwide. IFFO’s members reside in more than 50 countries, account for over 50% of world production and 75% of the fishmeal and fish oil traded worldwide. Approximately 5 million tonnes of fishmeal are produced each year globally, together with 1 million tonnes of fish oil. IFFO’s headquarters are located in London in the United Kingdom and it also has offices in Lima, Peru, and in Beijing, China. IFFO is an accredited Observer to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). To find out more, visit www.iffo.net. The Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) The Global Aquaculture Alliance is an international, non-profit trade association dedicated to advancing environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture. Through the development of its Best Aquaculture Practices certification standards, GAA has become the leading standards-setting organization for aquaculture seafood. To find out more, visit https://www.aquaculturealliance.org/ 2 Executive Summary Information is generally lacking about South East Asian (SEA) fisheries in terms of their biology, fishing practices, and environmental impact, as well as their contributions for social (e.g. employment, food security implications), or economic (e.g. value, trade dynamics) factors. Some social and fisheries management issues are well known and attract criticism right across the fisheries, fishmeal/oil, aquafeed, aquaculture, seafood and retail sectors.

Phylogenetic analysis of colubrid snakes based on 12S rDNA reveals distinct lineages of Dendrelaphis pictus (Gmelin, 1789) populations in Sumatra and Java. Biodiversitas 19: 303-310. The phylogenetic relationship among the major colubrid snakes, particularly those of the subfamily Colubrinae, has been the subject of much debate. Also, there was limited data on the molecular relationships of Sundaland colubrid snakes. This study aimed to examine the relationships among colubrid snakes from Sumatra and Java based on fragments of 12S rDNA gene. We sequenced 17 specimens of colubrid snakes representing 5 genera and 2 subfamilies: Colubrinae and Ahaetullinae. We used maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods for inferring phylogenetic relationships. The result of our phylogenetic analyses is in line with the previous findings for the separation between Colubrinae and Ahaetullinae. Interestingly, we found two distinct clades of Dendrelaphis pictus species with the high genetic divergence between them where D.

Previous herpetofaunal surveys were conducted from 15-20 April 2016 at two areas on the southern part of Pulau Tioman, which were Kg. Asah and Kg. Mukut. Two main methods were implemented, namely visual encounter survey (VES), and cages trapping. A total of eight species of anuran amphibians and 22 species of reptiles was recorded from this area. The diversity of herpetofaunal reported in Kg. Asah was higher than Kg. Mukut due to higher habitat heterogeneity and sampling efforts. The additional fieldworks are needed to assess and obtain a better picture of the true diversity of herpetofaunal in southern parts of Pulau Tioman for conservation purposes. Keywords: Amphibia, reptile, Kg. Asah, Kg. Mukut, Seribuat Archipelago, South China Sea.
