Society’s preferences when ecological values and health risks are at stake: an application to the population control of a flagship ungulate (Iberian ibex) in Sierra de Guadarrama national park, Spain

Asteraceae is the second largest plant family in the world. The family member has reached 227 species in Java. However, there is no current record of wild Asteraceae around local village within Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park. This study is to provide current Asteraceae species data and the threat for the conservation area. Explorative method has been conducted in 6 sites. The result shows that there are 20 species found with the tribes composition are 8 Heliantheae, 6 Eupatorieae, 3 Senecioneae, 1 Astereae, 1 Cichorieae, and 1 new record Vernonieae in Java. Key identification for species are provided and the new record has been described. Most species categorized as introduced with several other categorized as invasive alien species. In conclusion, numbers of Asteraceae family has been recorded with some potential ivansive threat in Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park. Regular population control and treatment are recommended in order to protect native species in the conservation area.

Mist Net

Bat is one of the important components in the stability of the ecosystem. One of the their role helping the spread of the seeds and flower pollination and insect population control. The presence of bats in the area of Camp Lubuk baji National Park (TNGP) have an important role in the forest regeneration and ecosystem stability. Until now the availability of information about the diversity of species bat in the TNGP still not provided and so potential unknown. This report aims to review the diversity of species bat in the area of Gunung Palung National Park. This research was aiming to discover the diversity of types of bats in the area Gunung Palung National Park. This research uses method capture with mist net. The placement of the research carried out observing the traffic line bat purposive. Mist net placed on three layer of tree canopies of the flower layer, middle, and the upper layer headers tree. The research conducted 2 in location Camp Lubuk Baji and Batu Bulan. The result show abot his Camp Lubuk Baji index of 0,24 dominance, while index in the Batu Bulan of 0,46. The diversity of species closer to the bottom of Camp Lubuk Baji 1,37, while in the Batu Bulan of 0,90. The kind of evenness Batu Bulan of 0,81, while in his 0,76 Camp Lubuk Baji.

Consequent Increase

The historical decline of African elephants to a low of 120 animals in 1920, and their subsequent recovery to over 10 000 is described for the major populations of South Africa. Population growth rates of 6,8 and 6,7 per annum are derived from census and estimates for the Kruger National Park and the Addo Elephant National Park respectively. The reasons for elephant population control in the Kruger National Park, and the impact of elephants on both the Kruger and Addo environments, are discussed. The translocation of young elephants to found new populations is mentioned. The consequent increase of elephant range and numbers in the next decade to a possible maximum of 31 000 km2 and 13 000 animals, is envisaged.

Capture Rates

Context Invasive Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) are established over thousands of square kilometres of southern Florida, USA, and consume a wide range of native vertebrates. Few tools are available to control the python population, and none of the available tools have been validated in the field to assess capture success as a proportion of pythons available to be captured. Aims Our primary aim was to conduct a trap trial for capturing invasive pythons in an area east of Everglades National Park, where many pythons had been captured in previous years, to assess the efficacy of traps for population control. We also aimed to compare results of visual surveys with trap capture rates, to determine capture rates of non-target species, and to assess capture rates as a proportion of resident pythons in the study area. Methods We conducted a medium-scale (6053 trap nights) experiment using two types of attractant traps baited with live rats in the Frog Pond area east of Everglades National Park. We also conducted standardised and opportunistic visual surveys in the trapping area. Following the trap trial, the area was disc harrowed to expose pythons and allow calculation of an index of the number of resident pythons. Key results We captured three pythons and 69 individuals of various rodent, amphibian, and reptile species in traps. Eleven pythons were discovered during disc harrowing operations, as were large numbers of rodents. Conclusions The trap trial captured a relatively small proportion of the pythons that appeared to be present in the study area, although previous research suggests that trap capture rates improve with additional testing of alternative trap designs. Potential negative impacts to non-target species were minimal. Low python capture rates may have been associated with extremely high local prey abundances during the trap experiment. Implications Results of this trial illustrate many of the challenges in implementing and interpreting results from tests of control tools for large cryptic predators such as Burmese pythons.
