The long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) is a primate species widely used in ecology, socio-economics, and biomedical. Long-tailed macaques have a high degree of adaptation to various types of environments. This species can be used and traded as long as it is the product of captivity. Over time, with increasing demand, there is a tendency to increase the number of long-tailed macaques catch quotas from nature and reduce the habitat of these primates in Indonesia. This demand ...

Banteng, Bos javanicus, as wild cattle is a vital and importance source of germplasm in Indonesia. Various human activities currently threaten their conservation status. Nonetheless, no long-term monitoring programmes are in place for this species. Using distribution point and statistical analysis based on 46,116 camera trap days from December 2015 to January 2017, we aimed to provide habitat preferences, activity patterns and ecological data for banteng population in Ujung Kulon National Park (...

The tidal lake ecosystem is formed by the flow of the Belmera River and seawater through a tidal process along a course of 12 km from Belawan (Malacca Strait). This lake has a tidal lake that has the characteristics of fresh water to brackish water and Mollusc communities from freshwater species to brackish water species. This study was performed to develop a mollusc conservation strategy based on the spatial and temporal distribution of Mollusca in the tides. The study was conducted from Septem...

Curcumin is a phenolic compound extracted from the rhizome of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Although declared as safe for human consumption, curcumin has been found to be embryotoxic in some organisms indicating its potential as a teratogen. In this study, the teratogenic effect of maternal curcumin exposure in mouse fetuses was evaluated. Three experimental groups of pregnant mice were treated with 1.05, 1.52, and 2.0 mg/g body weight/day 95% curcumin, respectively, from gestation day (GD) 6 to ...

Research regarding economic valuation of mangrove in Gerung District, West Lombok Regency has been conducted. The purposes of this research were to calculate and analyze economic value from mangrove ecosystem at Gerung District. Research methods used observation and interviews. Direct Economic Value (DEV) were obtained from direct use of mangrove with a value IDR. 227,040,000/year. Indirect Economic Value (IEV)were calculated from mangrove ecosystem services with a value IDR. 1,405,041,200/year,...

The methonolic extract of the leaves of Pisonia alba (PA) were subjected to phytochemical analysis by standard qualitative analysis and the invitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by determination of total antioxidant capacity, 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, Antioxidant activity, Nitric oxide potential. The analyses revealed that the methanol extract of Co was able to efficiently scavenge the free radicals in a dose dependant manner. The results were compare...

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs, are molecules associated with groups of pathogens that are recognized by cells of the innate immune system. These molecules can be referred to as small molecular motifs conserved within a class of microbes. They are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which divided into Membrane-bound PRRs (which include Toll-like receptors (TLRs), Receptor kinases, and the mannose receptor), Cytoplasmic PRRs (which include NOD-like receptors, RIG-...
