Illegal logging is a threat to tropical forests in protected areas, yet the factors motivating it need to be better understood. Here, rural household participation in timber felling in the Barisan I Nature Reserve (West Sumatra) was described, the household contextual factors relating to this participation analysed and the importance of these activities to the household income assessed. Nearly 19% of the sampled households cut or hauled timber in the Reserve, and the demand for cash encouraged participation. Alternative livelihoods such as livestock raising and agroforestry intensification outside the Reserve could reduce the need for timber felling. Knowledge about legal status of the Reserve did not affect the odds of a household engaging in timber harvesting, but greater awareness of the Reserve resulted in lower levels of income from timber. Development policy that seeks to provide livelihood alternatives to timber felling households could reduce dependence on timber and contribute to forest conservation in the Reserve. Moreover, conservation outcomes should improve if control over the protection and enforcement of the Reserve is co-managed between the government and the local communities.

Siberut Island, Mt. Talamau, Rimbo Panti Nature Reserve, and intervening locations in West Sumatra Province were visited during two expeditions in 2018-2019 by ornithologists from the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) - Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science (LSUMNS), and Andalas University. The main objective of these expeditions was to obtain data and tissue-subsample rich museum specimens for morphological and genetic studies of phylogeny and population genetics of Southeast Asian birds aimed at understanding the causes of avian diversification in the region. We also observed, photographed, and audio-recorded numerous bird species during the expeditions and archived these data. In total, 285 species were identified, and specimen material was collected from 13 species and 26 subspecies not previously represented in tissue resource collections. Here, we provide complete lists of birds found at each location, highlight distributional discoveries, and note cases of potential taxonomic, ecological, and conservation interest.

Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the morphological variations of Limnonectes blythii in West Sumatra by using morphometric in Genetics and Cytology Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Andalas University, Padang. The sample of this research was collected directly in West Pasaman (Nature Reserves Malampah), Sijunjung (Nature Reserve Pangean) and Payakumbuh (Harau Nature Reserve) in February until Mai 2015. The results showed that there is genetic variation in morphology of the population L. blythii in Malampah and Pangean as the first cluster with a population in Harau. The kinship between populations in Pangean and Malampah as the second cluster is closer to the population at second subcluster with Harau population and have the more distant kinship of the population L. blythii in Pangean. It was concluded that 12 morphological characters show differentiation significant (p≥ 0005) of the population, while the population of Harau and Sijunjung showed significant differentiation as many as 10 characters (32.2%), Between population differentiation Harau with Malampah show as much as 8 characters (25.8% ), and between population Malampah with Sijunjung show 7 (22:58%) differentiated character. This study requires molecular analysis to clarify the phylogenetic relationships among L. blythii to preserve the information of this frog as an export commodity.

An inventory of spiders araneidae (Arachnida: Araneae) from Nature Reserve Lembah Anai, Tanah Datar , West Sumatra was conducted from March to December 2015 by using the sweeping, hand collection,  beating and sieving methods. From a total of  37  individuals , we identified  to 9 species that belong to 6 genera.  Araneus has the top species number of species (3 species), while, Acusilas, Clycosa, Argiope, Gasteracantha, Larinia and Nephila were found only one species for each one.

Research about inventory of ants Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Nature Reserve Maninjau Utara-Selatan, Agam, West Sumatra was conducted from June to December 2015 by using the "Quadra protocol" which consist of a combination of four methods:  free collection, leaf litter sampling, soil sampling, honey  bait. A total of 19 species, 9 genera, 5 tribe were collected. Pheidole was found as genus with the highest number of species (9 species), followed by Crematogaster (3 species).

Rimbo Panti Nature Reserve is a conservation area located in West Sumatra which consisted of two main habitat types, dry hilly and swampy forest habitat types. These forest types potentially board many species of mammals. This research was conducted from December 2015 to March 2016 in The Nature Reserve to determine the diversity of mammals occupied each type of habitats. Twenty two camera traps were installed in pairs, six pairs in the dry hilly habitat (574-871 m asl) and five pairs in the swampy habitat (216-261 m asl). From a total 109 photos, 17 species were identified, consisted of 11 species from hilly and 10 species from swampy forest habitat. There were four species found in both habitat types. Shannon-Wiener diversity index showed that mammalian diversity of Rimbo Panti Nature Reserve is moderate (H’=1.95) while mammalian diversity in swampy forest (H’= 2.06) was higher than hilly habitat forest (H’=1.54).
