Our country has 16% of the world’s coral reefs, more than 2,000 marine fish species, and abundant and diverse mangrove and seagrass species. These resources generate significant economic benefits for our people, particularly our coastal communities. To ensure their sustainability, the Government of Indonesia has set aside large areas of marine and coastal waters for protection in accordance with our international and regional commitments. These include our commitment under

Feathers Benjamin Marwick Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2015 Emily J. Peterson University of Washington Abstract Insularity and Adaptation Investigating the role of exchange and inter-island interaction in the Banda Islands, Indonesia Emily J. Peterson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Peter V. Lape Department of Anthropology Trade and exchange exerted a powerful force in the historic and protohistoric past of Island Southeast Asian communities. Exchange and interaction are also hypothesized to have played an important role in the spread of new technologies and lifestyles throughout the region during the Neolithic period. Although it is clear that interaction has played an important role in shaping Island Southeast Asian cultures on a regional scale, little is known about local histories and trajectories of exchange in much of the region. This dissertation aims to improve our understanding of the adaptive role played by exchange and interaction through an exploration of change over time in the connectedness of island communities in the Banda Islands, eastern Indonesia. Connectedness is examined by measuring source diversity for two different types of archaeological materials. Chemical characterization of pottery using LA-ICP-MS allows the identification of geochemically different paste groups within the earthenware assemblages of two Banda Islands sites. Source diversity measures are employed to identify differences in relative connectedness between these sites and changes over time.

  • The Birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia
    Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen 272 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) New distributional records from forgoten Banda Sea islands: the birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia by Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen Received 5 July 2011; fnal revision accepted 10 September 2013 Summary.—Many of the Banda Sea islands, including Babar, Romang, Sermata and Leti, were last surveyed more than 100 years ago. In October–November 2010, birds were surveyed on Romang (14 days), Sermata (eight days), Leti (fve days) and Kisar (seven days), and on Babar in August 2009 (ten days) and August 2011 (11 days). Limited unpublished observations from Damar, Moa, Masela (of Babar) and Nyata (of Romang) are also included here. A total of 128 bird species was recorded (85 resident landbirds), with 104 new island records, among them fve, 12, 20, four and three additional resident landbirds for Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, respectively. The high proportion of newly recorded and apparently overlooked resident landbirds on Sermata is puzzling but partly relates to limited historical collecting. Signifcant records include Ruddy-breasted Crake Porzana fusca (Romang), Red-legged Crake Rallina fasciata (Sermata), Bonelli’s Eagle Aquila fasciata renschi (Romang), Elegant Pita Pita elegans vigorsii (Babar, Romang, Sermata), Timor Stubtail Urosphena subulata (Babar, Romang), the frst sound-recordings of Kai Cicadabird Coracina dispar (Babar?, Romang) and endemic subspecies of Southern Boobook Ninox boobook cinnamomina (Babar) and N. b. moae (Romang, Sermata?). The frst ecological notes were collected for Green Oriole Oriolus favocinctus migrator on Romang, the lowland-dwelling Snowy-browed Flycatcher Ficedula hyperythra audacis on Babar, the endemic subspecies of Yellow- throated (Banda) Whistler Pachycephala macrorhyncha par on Romang, and Grey Friarbird Philemon kisserensis on Kisar and Leti.

  • Shrimp Fisheries in Selected Countries 155
    PART 2 SHRIMP FISHERIES IN SELECTED COUNTRIES 155 Shrimp fishing in Australia AN OVERVIEW Australia is greatly involved in shrimp21 fishing and its associated activities. Shrimp fishing occurs in the tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the country, and ranges in scale from recreational fisheries to large-scale operations using vessels of up to 40 m in length. Australia also produces shrimp from aquaculture and is involved in both the export and import of shrimp in various forms. Many Australian shrimp fisheries are considered to be extremely well managed and a model for other countries to emulate. Moreover, the availability of recent information on Australian shrimp fishing and management issues is excellent. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE The main Australian shrimp fisheries can be roughly divided by area and management responsibility.22 Ten major shrimp fisheries are recognized in the national fisheries statistics (ABARE, 2005). Summary details on these fisheries are given in Table 20. The nomenclature of the main species of Australian shrimp is given in Table 21. Some of the more significant or interesting Australian shrimp fisheries are described below.

Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 U. S. A. http://www.centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomencla- ture, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book re- views or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manu- scripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality.

  • Estimating Wetland Values: a Comparison of Benefit Transfer and Choice Experiment Values
    Estimating wetland values: A comparison of benefit transfer and choice experiment values By Mayula Chaikumbung MSc. (Kasetsart University, Thailand) BSc. (King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand) Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University March, 2013 Acknowledgments First of all I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisors, Professor Chris Doucouliagos and Dr. Helen Scarborough for their invaluable support and never-ending guidance throughout this thesis. Without their generous assistance and encouragement, this thesis could never have been completed. I am grateful to staff from the office of the Bung Khong Long Non-Hunting Area and the WWF Greater Mekong, Thailand Country Programme, who assisted me in providing materials and information of the research area, and useful comments regarding the questionnaire adjustment. I am indebted to my Ph.D friend, Rajesh Kumar Rai for his useful comments regarding the questionnaire design and for his technical assistance on the Limdep program and Ngene program. Also, I would like to thank Ph.D candidates (Anshu Mala Chandra, Pablo Jamenez, Abu Sham Md. Rejaul, Mirwan Perdana, Muhamad Habibur Rahnan, Zohidjon Askarov, and Wen Sharpe), not only for the friendship but also for the support they provided. I would like to thank all the data enumerators from Kasetsart University for their cooperation in facilitating the data collection. I would also like to offer special thanks to the residents of Bung Khong Long community, Bung Karn Province, Thailand for their kind collaboration in providing useful information for this research. Finally, I wish to express my deep gratitude to my grandmother, mother, brothers and sister for inspiration, particularly to my younger sister, Passapa, for her support and dedication in looking after my grandmother, mother, and youngest brother, while I pursued my Ph.D in Australia.
