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 54 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 that species diversity in ecosystems is the support of ecosystem services such as productivity, resilience and stability, services whose viability is directly related to the number of species in communities. In a global context of erosion of biological resources, the inventory of the biodiversity inhabiting the Indonesian inland freshwaters has become a priority for the management of natural resource and isheries over the last decade. The characterization of species diversity is a prerequisite for the study of the dynamic of community assembly and the functional support of ecosystem services. The development of standardized molecular tools for identifying species in the “DNA- barcoding” project laid the foundation for streamlining the inventory of biodiversity and inally giving access to ecosystem-based approach for identiications. The DNA- barcoding approach based on the use of a standard fragment of mitochondrial DNA, the gene for cytochrome oxidase I COI, 650 bp, allows a rapid assessment of the taxonomic diversity of a region. Because of their economic importance, a global campaign to barcode all ishes was launched in 2005. In this context, the objectives for an Indonesian barcoding initiative are: 1 Building a reference library of mitochondrial COI gene for all described freshwater ish species. 2 Speeding up the inventory of the Indonesian freshwater ish species through large-scale sequencing for the discovery of new species. 3 Fostering the application of the library of reference for the management of ichthyological resources. This barcoding initiative will be directed towards an ecosystem-based approach and focused on the most endangered ecosystems of the archipelago such as the ‘black water ecosystems associated with the remnant patches of primary forest or the ‘clear water ecosystems from the karstic shields.

Assessment and ecology of the freshwater ish community in the Mesangat- Kenohan Suwi wetlands, East Kalimantan, Indonesia Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari aspek-aspek ekologi ikan di lahan basah Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 2dua bulan, mulai 22 September 2014 month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Kaltim Mesangat-Kenohan wetlands Mitra Kerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Gema Wahyoudewantoro Abstract The Mesangat-Kenohan wetlands, East Kalimantan, are a coherent swamp area with numerous, diferent habitats and a annually variable water level. The economic used ish fauna is rarely researched and harbours numerous ish species which are partly undiscovered. The exploration of the ish diversity is necessary for a long time conservation of this area, which is also inhabited by threaten species like orang- utangs, proboscis monkeys, siamese crocodiles and malay gharials. In collaboration with local ishermen threaten ish species should be protected. Furthermore, the exploration of living conditions according to diferent ish communities and their composition in the Mesangat-Kenohan wetlands is a pilot-project considering tropical ish ecol-ogy in south-east asia. Ecological studies, especially on ishes, are very scarce in south-east asia and constitutes a basis for further ecological investigation on tropic ishes. In Addition DNA samples will be taken to evaluate determination results and to explore distributions of popula-tions. Sequences will be stored in a database and will be available for science. C.3.1.

Biogeography of aquatic invertebrates across the Indomalayan Archipelago 2014-2017 Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan survei biogeograi hewan invertebrata air di kepulauan Indonesia Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 11sebelas bulan, mulai 19 Agustus 2014month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Timur Jember, Malang, Banyuwangi, Bondowoso; Jawa Tengah Wonosobo, Purworejo; Gorontalo Gorontalo, Gorontalo Utara; Sulawesi Tengah Morowali, Tojo Una-Una; Bali Tabanan, Gianyar; NTB Lombok - Lombok Barat, Lombok Utara, Sumbawa – Bima, Dompu, Sumbawa Mitra Kerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Dr. Daisy Wowor Abstract The region between mainland Southeast Asia and Oceania is biologically and geologically very diverse. Indonesia is a faunistic transition zone between the Oriental and Australian regions. Central macroevolutionary questions are: How was such diverse biota shaped in space and time, where does biota come from, which relative roles do tectonic events and climatic change play? Here, we use phylogenetic trees = reconstructed relatioships between species of diving beetles and other aquatic invertebrates to address these questions based on a species rich and ecologically diverse group of aquatic fauna. Now, we focus on the Indonesian archipelago and build on a large existing dataset of Australian and Melanesian diving beetles and an existing global data set for the family. Based on this comprehensive sampling, we will be able to reveal which evolutionary and environmental processes have contributed to faunal diversity, essentially testing predictions of island biodiversity. An explicit goal is to involve Indonesian students, and provide opportunity for Indonesian students researchers to stay and work in our laboratory in Germany and obtain higher academic degree when possible. 57 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 C.4.1.

Can we move toward more sustainable bird keeping in Indonesia? Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis faktor-faktor dan struktur yang mendorong masyarakat memperdagangkan burung liar atau burung hasil budidaya Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 7 tujuh bulan mulai 24 Juli 2014 month, startingfrom Daerah Penelitian : Sumatera Utara Medan MitraKerja : Puslit Biologi LIPI Dr. Dewi M. Prawiradilaga Abstract The wildlife pet trade is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide. It is believed that the popular culture of bird keeping, in Indonesia is rapidly depleting the wild bird populations and captive rearing may take pressure of wild populations. However, we only have a basic understanding of the social dimensions of bird keeping in Indonesia, which may afect the efectiveness and success of any intervention program. We plan to carry out a survey targeted at the Medan Sumatra, Indonesia bird owners to understand the social and economic factors driving the wild bird ownership and the prospect of transitioning from a wild bird to a captive-bred bird market and culture. We want to determine the factors and identify the conditions in which bird owners preferentially buy captive-reared birds over wild birds. In particular, what do owners value in pet bird? How may attitudes, values, and beliefs inluence the owners’ perceptions, preferences, and behaviors on bird keeping? And what economic, social, religious e.g., a recent FATWA religious ruling banning illegal wildlife trade, andor psychological factors or 58 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 barriers can promote or prevent adoption of captive-bred birds over wild birds as pets? We will use structural equation models to analyze the factors and structure behind the decision to buy wild or captive-reared birds. In addition, we plan to use the discrete choice modeling to analyze the owners’ preferences for wild or captive-reared birds. We hope that our indings will contribute to the design of an efective education and communication program to encourage and promote captive-reared birds as a more sustainable alternative to wild birds for bird owners in Sumatra and Indonesia.

Our current work involves sampling amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds. The current document is submitted as part of our request for permits to continue this biodiversity inventory work in this region. The present permit request is for 2-month expedition between May 24 and July 31, 2014, as well as a second expedition in October andor November. We plan to work in three provinces of Sulawesi: Sulawesi Barat, Sulawesi Selatan, and Sulawesi Tengah. We further aim to conduct ieldwork in Maluku on the islands of Tanimbar, Aru, Babar, and other islands in the vicinity such as Damar, Leti, Sermata, and Romang. Because logistics associated with ieldwork can be unpredictable, we need to be lexible in terms of the sequence with which we visit individual localities. Therefore, we request permission to work in 30 kabupatenwithin the three Sulawesi provinces. Kabupaten of Sulawesi Barat Majene, Mamasa, Mamuju, Mamuju Utara, Polewali Mandar. Kabupaten of Sulawesi Tengah Donggala. Kabupaten of Sulawesi Selatan Bantaeng, Barru, Bone, Bulukumba, Enrekang, Gowa, Jennaepontu, Luwu, Luwu Timur, Luwu Utara, Makassar, Maros, Palopo, Pangkajene, PareparePinrang, Sidenreng Rapang, Sinjai, Soppeng, Takalar, Tana Toraja, Toraja Utara, Wajo. Because it is not possible to conduct all molecular work in Indonesia, it is imperative that we be permitted to collect and export genetic samples to our institutions each sample will be split with an Indonesian Institution as required by law and outlined in our MOU with LIPI. Our ield team will include numerous participants from the United States and Indonesia. C.6.1.

C. 7. Distribution, Habitat Use, and Conservation of the Critically

Endangered Southeast Asian Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle Chitra chitra javanensis on Sumatra, Indonesia Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti populasi bulus Chitra chitra javanensis di alam liar untuk mengetahui habitat dan upaya konservasinya Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi Lama Penelitian : 3tiga bulanmulai 4 Juni 2014 month, starting from Daerah Penelitian : Bagian timur Sumatra TN Way Kambas, TN Berbak, TN Sembilang, dan beberapa lokasi di luar TN Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Kehutanan IPB Dr. Ir. Mirza D. Kusrini, M.Si. Abstract The status of the Southeast Asian narrow-headed softshell turtle Chitra chitra is a serious crisis in Indonesia, which may result in extinction of this species without immediate action. Although it is listed by the Turtle Conservation Fund as one of the 25 most endangered turtles in the world, surprisingly little ield work on C. chitra has taken place, especially regarding its natural history and movements. Six watersheds in Eastern Sumatra will be trapped for C. chitra and sympatric species of turtles. We aim to capture, tag, and track turtles during 8 months in eastern Sumatra. Habitat characteristics at sites used by C. chitra will be compared to characteristics of random sites. The movements and range of tagged C. chitra 61 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2014 turtles will be assessed in regard to their proximity to protected areas of Indonesia. We will survey local markets for specimens and interview ishermen to quantify the take of C. chitra. We will attempt to identify the primary areas utilized by females for nesting, and evaluate the potential need for increased protection of nest sites. Turtle conservation outreach and education in rural ishing villages of Sumatra will take place through visiting local schools, and using video footage and photographs of C. chitra and other turtles taken during ieldwork. Conservation recommendations will be shared with Indonesian non-proit Lembaga SatuCitu, and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences. Sumatran ieldwork on C. chitra will provide a foundation for us, and other conservation and management organizations, to build upon. C.7.1.
