Sex Detection in Maleo Bird (Macrocephalonmaleosal.Muller 1846) Nurtured in Ex-Situ Conservation Through Body Morphological and Hormonal Studies
International Journal of Veterinary Science and Agriculture Research Volume 1 Issue 2, July-August 2019 Availableat www.ijvsar.com Sex Detection in Maleo Bird (MacrocephalonMaleoSal.Muller 1846) Nurtured In Ex-Situ Conservation Through Body Morphological and Hormonal Studies I GustiNgurahPutu Widnyana1, Burhanuddin Sundu2, Rusdin2,Mobius Tanari2 1Faculty of Agriculture, SintuwuMaroso University, City of Poso, Indonesia 2Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Tadulako University, City of Palu, Indonesia CorrespondenceAuthor ABSTRACT I Introduction: Maleo birds (Macrocephalonmaleo, SAL MULLER, GustiNgurahPutuWidnyan 1846) are endemic animals of the island of Sulawesi which a population continues to decline due to destruction and fragmentation of their habitat, as well as allegedly due to poaching igustingurahputuwidnyana@gm and theft to the mothers and eggs. ail.com Objective: This study aimed to determine the sex of maleo birds through morphological and hormonal studies. Method:The study was conducted in the maleo bird conservation area of PT. Panca Amara Utama in Uso Village, Batui District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, from August 2016 to December 2018, by using 10 1-day-old maleo birds. Variables observed included cloaca morphology, macrocephalon and estrogen hormone concentration. Results:The cloaca of Maleo birds has a difference. The difference is in the protrusion on the top of the cloaca. The male Maleo birds have a protrusion in the cloaca while the females do not have it. Organs in the form of protrusion in the cloaca are thought to be a sign of male sex. There are differences in shape and size between the male and female macrocephalon, the males have about 3.96 ± 011 cm width in average with rounded shape while the females have about 3.20 ± 0.10 cm width in average with oval shape.

The triumphs, challenges and failures of young North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli): a study of behaviour, growth, dispersal and mortality Stephanie Walden A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Alexandra Louise Wilson 2013 i ii Abstract North Island brown kiwi (NIBK, Apteryx mantelli), an endemic New Zealand species, are estimated to have declined by 90% from pre-human colonisation numbers. Currently, at least 60% of mortality is attributed to introduced mammalian predators, namely stoats (Mustela erminea) preying on chicks. Therefore, conservation effort focuses on predator trapping/killing, and hatching and rearing NIBK chicks in captivity and releasing them back into the wild. These efforts are resulting in increased recruitment of chicks into populations. However, little is known about the biology and behaviour of NIBK chicks in the wild and how this may affect management of these populations. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the ecology of young wild NIBK in a natural high density population with reduced predator diversity on Ponui Island. More specifically, the goal was to determine their growth rates, behaviour around the natal nest, dispersal and mortality, and how these factors may be influenced by environmental variables. During the 2010 - 2011 and 2011 - 2012 breeding seasons 29 young NIBK were observed from hatching until mortality or the end of 2012.

Revision accepted: 28 March 2011. ABSTRACT Rusiyantono Y, Tanari M, Mumu MI (2011) Conservation of maleo bird (Macrocephalon maleo) through egg hatching modification and ex situ management. Biodiversitas 12: 171-176. Over exploitation of maleo bird eggs has become the main problem. In addition, habitat demolition and fragmentation have also caused decrease in maleo bird population. This research aimed to know the effectiveness of hatching pattern to produce maleo breeding, studying breeding pattern of maleo bird through hatching approaches of feed quality and temperature adjustment, and studying maleo bird respond towards caring pattern adjustment by measuring plasticity value. There were two phases in this research. The first phase was hatching by using modified incubator. The other one was the caring of the breeding from the result of hatching through feed pattern management using protein and energy balancing. The results of the research indicated that the hatching success was 65%; however, life endurance of the birds from birth to one month of age was only 40%. Their growth showed sufficiently high increase after passing critical period in their body-weight based on feeding pattern containing 21% of protein that was 64.93 g and 62.59 g for maleo in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) and Bangkiriang Wildlife Reserve (BWR), respectively.

Conservation of Endangered, Endemic Megapode Macrocephalon maleo S. Muller, 1846 in Lore Lindu National Park, Indonesia: Strategy in Selecting Nesting Pit Asya Putri, Herditha (School: Al-Azhar Mandiri Palu Senior High School) Triana, Nabila (School: Al-Azhar Mandiri Palu Senior High School) As a students from Celebes (Indonesia), we are interested about an endemic bird which are called Maleo. Maleo senkawor (Macrocephalon maleo S. muller, 1846) is an endemic animal from Celebes that include in the list of bird as an endangered category by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Maleo is monotypic, so its only found in Celebes especially in Lore Lindu National Park, which is a protected area and included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves from UNESCO. The objective of the project is to study the ecological behavior, and factor affecting Maleo’s survival for better conservation strategy. The ecological behavior observation was conduted from habitat of Maleo to selecting nesting pit for breeding. As a burrow nester, Maleo make nest hole to place their egg until it hatched in ± 65 days for the chick to strive out to the surface and furthermore will manage their self (precocial) and its need a geothermal resources. The laying egg behavior in leaving the nest hole, frequently makes the eggs threatened from the predators and the hatch failure. The result of research found that Maleo behavior in selecting the nesting pit, which is suitable with their needs and the design of nest hole in some conditions. Temperature for egg nesting appear to be one of critical factors and therefore it is necessary to protect area near the hot spring as nesting pit.

Indonesia - Sulawesi & Halmahera Wallacean Endemics 6th to 23rd August 2016 Trip Report Knobbed Hornbill by David Erterius Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: David Erterius RBL Indonesia – Sulawesi & Halmahera Trip Report 2016 2 Tour Summary Part of Indonesia’s nearly 17,000 islands, and considered one of the endemic hotspots of the world - the islands between Borneo and New Guinea form a biogeographical connection between the Oriental and Australian avifauna. The region is often called Wallacea, after the English 19th- century explorer Alfred Russel Wallace, and consists of three distinct subregions: Sulawesi, the Lesser Sundas and the Moluccas. On this trip, we focused on two of these subregions - the island of Sulawesi and the Moluccas, the latter by visiting the island of Halmahera. These two relatively large islands still support some of the most spectacular birds on earth, despite the increasingly devastating effects of rapid population growth and associated habitat destruction for agriculture and urban sprawl. Our tour ventured into several remote regions, including travelling through the best of these island’s important natural biomes, which ranged from the scenic Pale-headed Munia by David Erterius mountainous interior to volcanic coastal forests. During our adventurous journey, we amassed an outstanding collection of quality avian specialities and other exciting wildlife, as well as gaining a fine overview of the local Indonesian culture. We racked up a total of 237 species during our 18 days of fabulous birding, 106 of which are endemic to the two subregions of Sulawesi and the Moluccas. The many avian highlights included highly sought after species like the amazing Standardwing and fabulous Ivory- breasted Pitta on Halmahera and a further set of endemics on Sulawesi, such as the strange Maleo, odd Sulawesi Thrush, elusive Great Shortwing, smart Maroon-backed Whistler, striking Red-backed Thrush, and family endemic Hylocitrea.

1 in Recent Months, Our Team Has Been at Work Assessing the Status of The
In recent months, our team has been at work assessing the status of the iconic maleo bird, Macrocephalon maleo, sometimes called "Sulawesi's Bald Eagle," throughout its entire global range--especially outside of Tompotika, where we have overseen its recovery. The primary objective of this Sulawesi-wide survey (the maleo occurs exclusively on Sulawesi, and was once common throughout the island) is to assess whether the maleo's current IUCN "Endangered" status still applies--or is "Critically Endangered" more appropriate? But the survey has had many other benefits as well: our AlTo staff have had the chance to learn useful and fun new scientific skills; they've been able to serve as "experts" for others interested in maleo conservation beyond Tompotika; and all of us have had the chance to learn much more about the needs and opportunities for conservation of all kinds in other parts of Sulawesi. At present, we are in western-central Sulawesi, in the area around Lore Lindu National Park, and our team has temporarily split up: with me on today's journey are my colleague and friend Nurlin Djuni, who is one of Sulawesi's finest birders and knows this area very well (maliabirding.com), and a local guide, Kornelius, 58, who lives in the village where we began our journey. We were sent to Kornelius by the village head, who described him as the most knowledgeable and experienced maleo person (read: egg poacher) in the village for years. Although the village is right on the edge of the national park, and digging maleo eggs, felling trees, hunting other protected species, and the like are all prohibited by both national laws and traditional local adat laws, these laws are not well-enforced, and for decades the unrestrained taking of maleo eggs has been S.O.P.
