The utilization of bioresources by local communities at Giam Siak Kecil-Bukit Batu Biosphere Reserve, Riau Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 17: 873-886. This study aims to assess the use of bioresources of Giam Siak Kecil Bukit Batu Biosphere Reserve by the local community. The use of bioresources was characterized by the level of utilization of bioresources in the household economy. It classified into five groups; (i) subsistence group (SG), (ii) supplementary group (SpG), (iii) integrated group (IG), (iv) specialized extraction group (SEG), and (v) specialized cultivation group (SCG). The results showed that the local community used bioresources as main source of livelihood at the core zone and buffer zone. There are 36 species of fish, 17 species of non-timber, and 28 species of timber used by local community. Core area and buffer zone are dominated by SEG and SCG. In the core area, the relationship between SEG non-timber and timber is very significant.

    WTFish?: The Pandas Are Coming, The Pandas Are Coming!!! by DRAS Member Derek P.S. Tustin ometimes it is interesting living in the Greater Toronto Area, isn’t it? S Recently deemed to be the fourth largest city in North America (leaping past Chicago by 84,000 people) behind Mexico City, New York and Los Angeles, we truly are a world class city. (Interestingly enough, the Greater Toronto Area, that being the recognized metropolitan area of the city and those living in the immediate suburbs, is actually the 51st largest metropolitan area in the world with 6,139,000 people. Tokyo is first with 37,126,000 and Chicago is 28th, with 9,121,000(1). So we still have some catching up to do...) And since I seem to be heading off on tangents today, have you ever considered what makes a city “world class”? According to some, it is a “city generally considered to be an important node in the global economic system.”(2) Given Toronto’s impact on the national economy, and the subsequent influence within the international economic community, it can easily be argued that Toronto is such a city. But there are also cultural factors that come into play. Toronto is blessed with many such attractions, but the one that stands out in my mind is the Toronto Zoo. Sometimes I think we all take for granted what a wonderful facility we have right next door. The Toronto Zoo is consistently ranked as one of the top ten zoos in the world (3, 4, 5), and acknowledged as being one of the largest zoos in the world (6).

The present study was undertaken in order to untangle some of the problems of classification which have beset this group. The genera have not been studied in toto since the days of Bleeker and Gunther. In this study I have made an attempt to clarify the relationships of the various genera, which in some cases has involved revision of generic limits. Lack of time and material has precluded a thorough analysis of the species within any genus; for the same reason no skeletal examinations were possible. It is hoped, however, that a clarification of generic limits through study of external characters will make it easier in the future for interested workers, with sufficient material at hand, to do further and much-needed work on both the genera and the species.

  • Evolution and Phylogenetic Application of the MC1R Gene in the Cobitoidea (Teleostei: Cypriniformes)
    ZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH Evolution and phylogenetic application of the MC1R gene in the Cobitoidea (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) Qiong-Ying TANG1,*, Li-Xia SHI1,2, Fei LIU1, Dan YU1, Huan-Zhang LIU1,* 1 The Key Laboratory of Aquatic Biodiversity and Conservation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Fish of the superfamily Cobitoidea sensu stricto (namely loaches) exhibit extremely high diversity of The superfamily Cobitoidea is a group of small- to medium- color patterns, but so far little is known about their sized benthic fish, composed of approximately 28% of species evolutionary mechanism. Melanocortin 1 receptor of the order Cypriniformes, which is the largest group of gene (MC1R) plays an important role during the freshwater fish in the world (Nelson et al., 2016). Depending on synthesis of melanin and formation of animal body different authors, Cobitoidea includes variable families. Bohlen color patterns. In this study, we amplified and sequenced the partial MC1R gene for 44 loach & Šlechtová (2009) and Chen et al. (2009) congruently individuals representing 31 species of four families. recognized the genus Ellopostoma as a distinct new family Phylogenetic analyses yielded a topology congruent Ellopostomatidae, and proposed that Cobitoidea is composed with previous studies using multiple nuclear loci, of eight families (Catostomidae, Gyrinocheilidae, Botiidae, showing that each of the four families was Vaillantellidae, Cobitidae, Ellopostomatidae, Nemacheilidae and monophyletic with sister relationships of Botiidae+ Balitoridae). Kottelat (2012) raised genera Serpenticobitis and (Cobitidae+(Balitoridae+Nemacheilidae)). Gene Barbucca to family rank, and established Serpenticobitidae and evolutionary analyses indicated that MC1R in Barbuccidae.
