Estimating Relative Densities of Breeding Birds by the Line Transect Method

Density and Flock Size of the Raven (Corvus corax) In the Orawa - Nowy Targ Basin During Non-Breeding Season During the 2002/2003-2004/2005 non-breeding seasons the density of the Raven in the open habitats of the Orawa - Nowy Targ Basin was studied by line transect method. The results were analysed in four periods (autumn, early winter, winter and early spring). The median density of Ravens did not differ significantly between individual periods and was respectively: 3.5, 3.8, 4.8 and 3.8 indiv. / 10 km. Number of birds during particular controls varied from 1.0 to 24.8 indiv. / 10 km. However, while excluding flocks, the median density of single individuals and pairs of the Raven was considerably lower and in subsequent periods reached respectively: 2.2, 2.4, 2.2 and 1.7 indiv. / 10 km. Flock size did not differ significantly between individual periods. Single individuals and, less often, groups of two birds were recorded mostly. Small (3-5 indiv.) and medium (6-15 indiv.) flocks were recorded rarely and large flocks (16 indiv. and above) - only exceptionally. The high density and strong fluctuations of abundance of Ravens were determined by flocks presence, which was probably linked to irregular occurrence of food resources.

Abstract : Orangutan is classified as an endangered species. Forest clearance for a variety of purposes and functions over the region led to the limited habitat for orangutans. Orangutans habitat is fragmented into several regions led to the survival of a population of a species depends on habitat conditions. Performing a nest survey is important to give a deeper understanding of the ecology and help determine the best protective management measures. We provide basic data of orangutan density and orangutan nesting characteristics in protected forest area Sibongkaras village. This study was conducted in April 2019 until June 2019 in protected forest area Sibongkaras village, Pakpak Bharat. Tracking begins with observed the presence of a nest based on a purposive sampling method. And data retrieval was done by line transect method. Data analyzed at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sumatera Utara. Our result showed that the orangutan population density was 0.0072 individuals/km2 or 0.72 individuals/ha. The dominant position of the nest is in a position which is a position I nest close to the main stem of the tree with the nest number 13 (43.3%). Generally, the nest is found at an altitude of >15 meters with a sum of 27 nests (90%).Abstrak : Orangutan diklasifikasikan sebagai spesies yang terancam punah. Penebangan hutan untuk berbagai tujuan dan fungsi di kawasan tersebut menyebabkan terbatasnya habitat orangutan.

One of the animals that are easy to find is a bird. Based on data about the increase in the number of bird species, it can be ascertained that these animals can be found in every region in Indonesia, with diverse species and even species that are endemic to a certain area. West Papua is one of the regions in Indonesia which is rich in various species of birds, including Cendrawasih which can also be found in the Natural Forest of Malagufuk Village, Klayili District, Sorong Regency. Based on information from the surrounding community, several types of Cendrawasih are often seen in the natural forests of Malagufuk Village, but their diversity and population are not known with certainty. This study aims to determine the diversity of species and population of Cendrawasih birds in the natural forest of Malagufuk Village, Klayili District, Sorong Regency, West Papua. Thus, the results of this study are expected to be a source of data in the context of preserving and protecting the existing Cendrawasih species. Data collection on the species composition and population of Cendrawasih was carried out using the Line Transect method by making 10 observation lines with a line length of 500 m each and a distance between lines of 100 m. The results showed that there were found 3 spesies of Cendrawasih with estimated populations and densities as follows: Cendrawasih Kuning Kecil (Paradisaea minor) had an estimated population of 7.48 individuals with a density of 2.93 individuals / ha; Cendrawasih Raja (Cicinnurus regius) has an estimated population of 5 individuals with a density of 1.67 individuals / ha; and Toowa Cemerlang (Ptiloris magnificus) had an estimated population of 2.22 individuals with a density of 0.74 individuals / ha. When the research was carried out, it was seen that the three types of Cendrawasih used several types of trees as places for activities (playing or dancing), namely Matoa (Pometia coreacea), Merbau (Intsia bijuga), Damar (Agathis dammara). Beringin (Ficus benjamina), and Pala hutan (Myristica sp) with tree heights above 20 m.
