Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: habitat, tiger, wildlife @article{nokey, Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), critically endangered mammals native to Indonesia, play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance by regulating prey populations. However, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict necessitate translocation as a conservation strategy. Translocation becomes an option when the conflict site is no longer possible as a tiger habitat, and the landscape changes from homogeneous to heterogeneous, causing changes in biodiversity that impact resource changes. Ecological studies on the aspects of space use and suitability characteristics of habitats by translocated tigers need to be conducted to improve survival. This study analyzed the home range and habitat suitability of translocated Sumatran tigers in Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) using GPS collar data collected between June and September 2022. This research was conducted by developing a species distribution model using the Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP), fixed kernel (FK), and maximum entropy (Maxent) programs. The most active time used in moving by Sumatran tigers was in the morning of 06.00–08.59, MCP 492 km2, and FK 98.9 km2. The results of Maxent modelling obtained an average AUC value of 0.88, and the performance of this model was very good. The response shows how the prediction of the Sumatran Tiger's presence changes with each varying landscape value. The total edge contribution is dominant, with a proportion in this model of 35.5% and a Class area proportion of 27.5%. |

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. |
