Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: amphibia, ARK, distribution, iNaturalist, reptiles @article{Fauzia2023, Biodiversity distribution data is essential as it is the basis for policies, development plans, and laws. Citizen science, which involves public participation in scientific research, has become a popular method for researchers to gather scientific data with the help of volunteers, including biodiversity distribution data. "Amfibi Reptil Kita"(ARK) is one of the citizen science projects on the iNaturalist platform that collects herpetofauna data in Indonesia. Earlier investigations into the distribution of herpetofauna data in Java and Bali involved utilizing museum collections and reports based on observations and research. A comparative analysis was performed between previous research data and information sourced from ARK, aiming to evaluate the extent of citizen science's contribution to data compilation. This study only compares the distribution data on the island of Java. The data is presented in a grid format measuring 5x5 km as the smallest unit in the study. Citizen science data is more evenly distributed than the previous research. Although previous research had more filled grids compared to citizen science, the span of previous research is 113 years compared to 5 years data of citizen science. Nevertheless, citizen science, with all its conveniences, has high potential in collecting biodiversity distribution data. |

Repi, Terri; Masy'ud, Burhanuddin; Mustari, Abdul Haris; Prasetyo, Lilik B Population density, geographical distribution and habitat of Talaud bear cuscus (Ailurops melanotis Thomas, 1898) Journal Article In: Biodiversitas, vol. 21, no. 12, pp. 5621-5631, 2020. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Ailurops melanotis, conservation, density, distribution, habitat, population @article{Repi2020, The Talaud bear cuscus (Ailurops melanotis) has been reported from Sangihe (the largest island in the Sangihe Island group) and Salibabu (within the Talaud Islands). As an endemic species of Indonesia, this species is rare and there is no certainty regarding its precise geographic distribution or population size. This research aimed to estimate population density and provide the first preliminary data on its geographical distribution, as well as general description of its habitat. Our research shows that A. melanotis occurs on three islands: Salibabu Island, Nusa Island, and Bukide Island, and probably also exists in the Sahandaruman mountain on Sangihe Island. Our population surveys estimate, population density on each island as: Salibabu: 3.69 ± 2.54 ind/km2, with an estimated total population of 28.95 individuals, Nusa Island: was 12.31 ± 2.58 ind/km2, with an estimated population of 19.08 individuals, and Bukide Island: 7.17 ± 1.79/km2, with an estimated population of 10.40 individuals. Information regarding population is a key guiding factor in conservation efforts, where population size is related to extinction risk (threat status) and its geographical distribution, this can help to determine conservation priorities for species or habitats. |
