The 26 currently circumscribed tropical trees in the genus Ryparosa Achariaceae Blume. are distributed throughout both the South East Asian and Australian component of the Malesian bioregion. The current poor state of species recognition in the genus is largely due to the diiculty and timing of capturing male and female loral morphologies in specimen collections and the oversight of key morphological features of ecophysiological signiicance. Most notably 46 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 amongst these are the production of ant reward food bodies and stem domatia to aid myrmecophylic mutualisms to varying extents between species. It is thus necessary for me to acquire fresh herbarium specimen material for me to properly describe the species relations within the genus. This revision combines phenetic techniques of agglomerative classiication of morphological and ecophysiological characters in concert with a phylogeny to resolve speciic boundaries. I plan to collect ield samples in Sulawesi and Kalimantan with the help of staf from Bogor Kebun Raya and perform the analysis in Australia and the United Kingdom on material collected in Indonesia and other South East Asian countries.

The “shoe-string ferns” vittanoids are highly simpliied, canopy-dwelling epiphytes exhibiting accelerated rates of molecular evolution. Analyses of DNA sequence data have revealed a surprisingly robust relationship between Adiantum and the vittarioids. Nonetheless, there are many areas of uncertainty within this lineage, with important consequences for its taxonomy. To this end, we have begun a global systematic study of this group aiming to clarify generic and subgeneric classiications, while also shedding light on the origin and evolutionary history of the vittarioids. Adiantum and the vittarioids are most diverse in tropical regions, and the Indonesian lora is especially rich. We have therefore proposed ieldwork in Indonesia to make collections of these plants, and other associated fern and lycophyte species. Our collections will not only serve to elucidate relationships within the Adiantumvittarioid assemblage and allow for a reassessment of generic and subgeneric circumscriptions, but will also improve our understanding of the Indonesian.

Promoting Organic Dry Land Farming and Restoration of Deciduous Forest in West Bali, Indonesia Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti kesesuaian tanaman yang akan ditanam serta sistem pertanian yang digunakan petani lokal dengan daerah penanaman, untuk kepentingan penelitian agrikultur, pengayaan hutan dan kontrol terhadap erosi 49 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 Bidang Penelitian : Botani Lama Penelitian : 12dua belas bulan,mulai 9 Juni 2014month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Bali TN Bali Barat Mitra Kerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Ir. Albertus Husein Wawo, M.Si Abstract The challenge of protecting the biodiversity of the planet, while at the same time meeting the needs of local rural populations is one that faces conservation projects globally. This project is a collaboration between Biosphere Foundation, Yayasan Dwi Asih Scjahicra “YDAS” an Indonesian non-proit foundation, and Menjangan Jungle Beach Resort, which owned and operate by PTTrimbawan Swastania Sejati TSS. It is being initialed to research agricullure and forestry mclhods that will improve the economic condition of local subsistence fanners in the region surrounding the West Bali National Park. By improving and diversifying agricultural and forest production, the project aims to improve the economic condition of the local community thus reducing encroachment on the marine and forest resources of the National Park. The Project As local farmers depend almost entirely on their crops for survival, any new crops or fanning systems have lo be fully tested and proven to work well in the local area before they will be readily adopted. To this end Starting in 2011 2 research plots will be established, one for agricultural research and one for forestry enrichment and erosion control: 1 The agriculture research plot will be established using one of the plots already being farmed under 4hc STS method. The 0.4 ha plot will be rented for one year from the farmer and used lo test drought resistant food crops and fodder crops. Possible candidate crops will include drought resistant bean varieties, chickpea, cassava. Cow pea, Millet and vegetable crops. The crops will be raised using KM Bokashi fertilizer and compost. Where possible organic methods will be used for pesl control, however as the initial aim is lo lest for drought tolerance and adaptation lo the local soils, it may be necessary to use some non¬organic pesl controls in the initial trial. The aim will be to extend the growing season to at leasl six months of the year. To augment water supply research will be 50 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 carried out with rain water harvesting techniques and the use of a solar pump lo deliver well water to the crops. 2 The forestry enrichment ami erosion control plot will be established in an area of Ihc monsoon forest that was destroyed by lire in 2007. This 55 I la. area is already eroded iluc to lack ol forest cover. The plot will initially be cleared of invasive species including iantana camara, Acacia nilotica and Chromolacna odorata. It will then be planted with tree species that are valued for fodder, wood carving, erosion control, and wild bird food. These will include: . Cassia Fistula Golden shower •Xanthaxyluin rhesfsa Crocodile wood Azadurachta indica { Necni tree Manilkara Kauki Wild Sapodilla Sclifeicerct oleosa Lak Tree Toona sinensis Indonesian Mahogany Albczia lehekkiodes Bast Indian Walnut Tree Acacia leucophloea While Bark Acacia Santalum album Sandalwood The plot will be monitored for I growth and survival rales of the above species and 2 response of the invasive plants to removal activity. The time frame for Ihis this initial research phase will be one year and another one year for evaluation. Success indicators in the short term will be an increase in crop production, and the establishment of healthy trees in the forestry plot ~ a 40 survival rale for the trees will be considered successful. In the long term, indicators will be the successful adoption of the farmjng and forestry methods by other local larmcrs with a resulting reduction”pressure on the national park resources. To complete the research opportunity is presented by the establishment of Mount Malimun Salak National Park MMSNP as the biggest Biodiversity Conservation Centre in Asia by the Minister of Forestry, “lu’s is a collaboration between the National Ministry of Forestry and scholars from University of Indonesia, IPB, and Gajali Mada University, along with the wide community to build the unit for Centre of Research for Trees and Primary Plants CRTP2 within the national park borders. Additionally as a research facility, CRTP2 is also intended to educate the wider community around the area on how to tend to tree seedlings so they can be safely handed over to the community in an attempt for natural plant restoration from degradation within the area. 51 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 The Biodiversity Conservation Centre within MHSNPeonsists of four programs i.e.: 1. Umd degradation restoration 2. Biodiversity conservation 3. Community development 4. Biodiversity and area development Derivation from these programs expands to sustainable sub-programs i.e. maslerplanning, cultivation, plantation, economicsocialcultural community development, lora fauna conservation, water conservation, environment, research, and education - these span across short, medium, and long-term timelines within two years from 2010 to 2012. The immediate activities in the horizon are putting together the Maslerpkm. Held activities related to community socialisation and development, cultivation, and plantation which will be shortly followed with advice to optimal MHSNP utilisation as both a science research facility and as an ccolourism venue as well. Willi its relation to community development activities, an agriculture research, forestry enrichment, and erosion control will be conducted as part of the comparison study for ihis program i.e. for lowland forest area within West Bali and highlands enclosure on Mount lluliimm Salak.

C. ZOOLOGI

C.1. Inventory of Freshwater Fishes of the Family Gobiidae in Indonesia Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan inventori yang meliputi studi taksonomi, sistem molekuler, dan ekologi ikan air tawar Indonesia khususnya famili Gobiidae Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan, mulai 28November 2014month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Nusa Tenggara Barat Lombok Barat, Lombok Tengah, Lombok Utara, Lombok Timur, Bima, Dompu, Sumbawa, Sumbawa Barat Mitra Kerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Dra. Renny K. Hadiaty Abstract In the Indo-Paciic area, rivers of oceanic islands resulting from tectonic and volcanic activities are mainly colonised by freshwater Gobiids that exhibit a life cycle adapted for the colonisation of these systems. Since oceanic islands are physically disconnected and isolated from potential sources of immigrants species from the mainlands, only species including a marine stage during their life cycle are able to colonize such remote river systems. These Gobiids contribute most to the diversity of ish communities in the Indo-Paciic islands and exhibit the highest levels of endemism. In Indonesia, Gobiids are extremely diverses and represent some of the earliest species described in the Indo-Paciic. According to Fishbase, nearly 1150 species of freshwater ishes are cited from Indonesia among which, 116 belong to the family Gobiidae. In some sub-family such as the amphidromous Sicydiinae, nearly 11 types localities are found in Indonesia among the 4 genus and 26 species reported in the country. This means that 43 of the Sicydiinae species cited in Indonesia have been described from material collected in the country. The systematic of the freshwater Gobiids, however, is still largely unknown and calls for a iner assessment of the family diversity in Indonesia The project seeks to strengthen the knowledge on the Indonesian freshwater Gobiids diversity through the implementation of a pluridisciplinary approach 53 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 involving taxonomy, molecular systematic and ecology. The increasing use of DNA sequencing has shown that molecular-based systematic studies often challenged the taxonomy established using morphological characters. C.1.1.

Inventory of Indonesian Freshwater Fish Biodiversity with DNA- Barcoding Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan DNA Barcoding pada spesies ikan di Indonesia Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan, mulai 1September 2014month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Jatim, Sumatera Jambi, Lampung, NTB Lombok Mitra Kerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Dra. Renny Kurnia Hadiaty, Dr. Daisy Wowor Abstract With nearly 1200 species, inland waters of the Indonesian archipelago illustrate the challenges of the conservation oish resources. Indonesia has experienced considerable economic development during the last 15 years that has been accompanied by major environmental changes. At the global level, Indonesia has become the largest exporter of palm oil at the cost of a massive deforestation that reached the record of 2.4 million hectares per year. Thus, most of the lowland forests of Sumatra and Borneo have been converted into oil palm plantation. Deforestation has led to the degradation and loss of many freshwater ecosystems and led to the extinction of many species tightly linked to these habitats, some with high patrimonial andor commercial value. It is now generally acknowledged
