  • Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: Effects of Altitude, the 1815 Cataclysmic Volcanic Eruption and Trade
    FORKTAIL 18 (2002): 49–61 Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: effects of altitude, the 1815 cataclysmic volcanic eruption and trade COLIN R. TRAINOR In June-July 2000, a 10-day avifaunal survey on Gunung Tambora (2,850 m, site of the greatest volcanic eruption in recorded history), revealed an extraordinary mountain with a rather ordinary Sumbawan avifauna: low in total species number, with all species except two oriental montane specialists (Sunda Bush Warbler Cettia vulcania and Lesser Shortwing Brachypteryx leucophrys) occurring widely elsewhere on Sumbawa. Only 11 of 19 restricted-range bird species known for Sumbawa were recorded, with several exceptional absences speculated to result from the eruption. These included: Flores Green Pigeon Treron floris, Russet-capped Tesia Tesia everetti, Bare-throated Whistler Pachycephala nudigula, Flame-breasted Sunbird Nectarinia solaris, Yellow-browed White- eye Lophozosterops superciliaris and Scaly-crowned Honeyeater Lichmera lombokia. All 11 resticted- range species occurred at 1,200-1,600 m, and ten were found above 1,600 m, highlighting the conservation significance of hill and montane habitat. Populations of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo Cacatua sulphurea, Hill Myna Gracula religiosa, Chestnut-backed Thrush Zoothera dohertyi and Chestnut-capped Thrush Zoothera interpres have been greatly reduced by bird trade and hunting in the Tambora Important Bird Area, as has occurred through much of Nusa Tenggara. ‘in its fury, the eruption spared, of the inhabitants, not a although in other places some vegetation had re- single person, of the fauna, not a worm, of the flora, not a established (Vetter 1820 quoted in de Jong Boers 1995). blade of grass’ Francis (1831) in de Jong Boers (1995), Nine years after the eruption the former kingdoms of referring to the 1815 Tambora eruption.

  • 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.

  • Lesser Sundas and Remote Moluccas
    ISLANDS OF THE LESSER SUNDAS AND REMOTE MOLUCCAS 12 August – 7 October 2009 and 27 October - 7 November 2009 George Wagner [email protected] ISLANDS VISITED: Bali, Sumba, Timor, Flores, Komoto, Ambon, Tanimbars, Kais, Seram and Buru INTRODUCTION Indonesia, being a nation of islands, contains over 350 endemic species of birds. Of those, over 100 are only found in the Lesser Sundas and remote Moluccas. Having visited Indonesia in past years, I knew it to be safe and cheap for independent birders like myself. I decided to dedicate some four months to the process of birding these remote destinations. Richard Hopf, whom I have joined on other trips, also expressed interest in such a venture, at least for the Lesser Sundas. We started planning a trip for July 2009. Much of the most recent information in the birding public domain was in the form of tour trip reports, which are self- serving and don’t impart much information about specific sites or logistics. There are a few exceptions and one outstanding one is the trip report by Henk Hendriks for the Lesser Sundas (2008). It has all the information that anyone might need when planning such a trip, including maps. We followed it religiously and I would encourage others to consult it before all others. My modest contribution in the form of this trip report is to simply offer an independent approach to visiting some of the most out of the ordinary birding sites in the world. It became clear from the beginning that the best approach was simply to go and make arrangements along the way.
