Abstract
Our team, in collaboration with researchers from the Research Center for Biology, the Bandung Institute of Technology, and University of Indonesia, has been conducting large-scale vertebrate biotic survey work in Indonesia for more than a decade with a focus on the island of Sulawesi and the Lesser Sundas. 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 and/or 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.

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
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.9. Why are slow lorises venomous: ecology & conservation of Javan slow
lorises
Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari konteks ekologis dan kegunaan racun pada kukang liar
Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi
Lama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan, mulai 3 Februari 2014 (month, starting from)
Daerah Penelitian : Jabar (Cipaganti Garut, Kawasan Hutan Gunung Papandayan termasuk wilayah cagar alam, Ciapus Bogor, Cikananga Sukabumi)

Abstract
Of humans’ closest relatives, only one primate – the nocturnal slow loris (Nycticebus) – is purportedly venomous. Despite reports of this extraordinary phenomenon 40 years ago, virtually nothing is known about how slow lorises use venom. The same time, all slow lorises are globally threatened. The Endangered Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus) is furthermore included in the Top 25 Most Endangered Primates of the World. While habitat loss is important in these assessments, a major threat to slow lorises is the trade for pets and traditional medicine. My aims in this study are to follow up on data gathered by EJ Rode to understand the ecological context and use of venom in wild slow lorises. Up to twenty slow lorises will be observed in in Cipaganti, near Garut, in agroforests as well as kawasan hutan Gunung Papandayan, including cagar alam Papandayan and taman wisata alam Papandayan in Java, via radio-tracking in order to investigate general ecology and behaviour. I will in particular scrutinise feeding behaviour, predator-related behaviour, parent-ofspring behaviour, chemical behaviour and anointing. Observation of
ranging and space requirements will help to understand hypotheses regarding intraspeciic competition. Furthermore, the efect of forest quality and accessibility for hunters on the abundance of slow lorises around Cipaganti will be investigated by placing transects into forest areas that difer in their degree of disturbance and their distance from human settlement, roads and forest paths. Monthly surveys on markets and other retail areas will be done to assess which wild mammals species (especially nocturnal mammals and primates) are traded, numbers of animals and prices. I will continue training of the Indonesian ield team in Cipaganti. Results will be disseminated to local rescue and education centres, Indonesian authorities and the international primatology and conservation community. My supervisor Prof K-Anne Isola Nekaris and proposed counterpart Ibu Wirdateti have together more than 30 years’ experience in studying nocturnal primates which will ensure the quality of the project.

C.10. Population characteristics and community perceptions of the
endangered Javan warty pig (Sus verrucosus blouchi) on Bawean
island and Java islands, Indonesia, and ex-situ behavioral research at
the breeding facilities in Cikanaga
Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan proyek konservasi dan penelitian lapangan pertama pada babi berkutil Bawean Bidang Penelitian : Zoologi

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Timur (Pulau Bawean), Jawa Barat (Sukabumi dan Banjar)
Abstract
Population characteristics and community perceptions of the endangered Javan warty pig (Sus verrucosus blouchi) on Bawean island and Java islands, Indonesia, and ex-situ behavioral research at the breeding facilities in Cikanaga.
The Bawean warty pig Sus blouchi is a species endemic to the island Bawean of the coast of East Java, Indonesia. Sus blouchi is still listed as a subspecies of the Endangered Javan warty pig on the IUCN Redlist. However, taxonomic researchers recently raised it to full species level within the Sus genus. A subsequent attempt to assess the status of S.v. blouchi by the IUCN/SSC Wild Pig Specialist Group (WPSG), resulted in a “Data Deicient” status, indicating the lack of knowledge available (Meijaard et al., 2014).
The main threats Bawean warty pigs is facing are habitat loss and hunting. Following the encroachment of agricultural land into forests, pigs forage on crops, and are subsequently hunted for pest control. The aim of this project is to conduct the irst conservation and research ield project on Bawean warty pigs, to lay the basis for an efective conservation planning and long term monitoring programme.
The required baseline data will be acquired through collecting essential data on the population size, distribution, biology, ecology and taxonomy of the species by conducting line transect surveys and camera traps. Next to this, multiple surveys will be conducted in the Banjar area on mainland Java where Javan warty pigs are known to occur, to collect DNA material from mainland populations for genetic analysis and comparison to the Bawean warty pig. In mid-year a behavioural ecology study of the ex-situ population of Javan warty pigs will take place at the oicial Javan warty pig breeding programme at Cikananga rescue centre, Sukabumi, to compare ex- and in-situ behaviour and provide recommendations for improvement of captive husbandry.
As local communities will play a signiicant role in the conservation of this species, we will also conduct interviews with local community members to investigate their perception of wild pigs based on social and economic aspects. These interviews will investigate the extend of crop-raiding and search for farmer-and pig friendly solutions. Furthermore, we will conduct continuous socialisation, awareness activities and education, for instance a local sports tournament, to gain rapport and support by the local communities. To support capacity building, we will provide employment, a stipend, and intensive training to local guides and a local student,
in order to support capacity building and the future generation of Indonesian conservationists.

Abstract
Genetic mechanisms of body color variation in the family Adrianichthyidae endemic to Sulawesi Shingo Fujimoto dan tim (anggota tim Kazunori Yamahira) Fishes in the family Adrianichthyidae endemic to Sulawesi are known to be very diverse in body colorations, suggesting that the evolution of body colorations may have contributed to their species diversiications. However, it is presently unclear which genes are responsible for the body coloration of each species, and what genetic
changes have caused such a large variation in body colorations of this group. The aim of this study is to identify the genes responsible for the body coloration in each species of the family Adrianichthyid in Sulawesi, using QTL mappings, a method of genetics that can map genes responsible for a trait. We also measure light environments in the habitat of each species, using a spectrophotometer, to discuss the ecological background for the evolution of body coloration. Field collections and surveys will be conducted in (1) Kendari and surrounding areas, Sulawesi Tengarrah (November-December 2014), (2) Malili Lakes area, Sulawesi Sulatan (April-May 2015), and (3) Lake Poso, Sulawesi Tengah (September-October 2015).

Abstract
This research project will take place under CIRAD-CIFORs extensive four year project Collaborative land use planning and sustainable institutional arrangements for strengthening land tenure, forest and community rights in Indonesia (CoLUPSIA- project). The overall objective of this project is to avoid deforestation and environmental degradation. One of the topics in this project is to make a irst step towards pro-poor inancing mechanisms. Possible markets for ecosystem services, such as carbon, water, biodiversity and scenic beauty, will be identiied. For this, baseline data about biodiversity and ecosystem services are necessary. In this research component of the project, we will focus on bird diversity in limestone forest and try to assess any altitudinal gradient in bird species composition from sea level to 1500 m asl.
The main research question is:
What are the quantitative diferences in bird species distribution between diferent elevation of primary forests on tropical limestone in Seram, Indonesia?
It is hypothesized that some bird species specialize on restricted habitat and maybe are conined to speciic elevation range. It will interesting to compare it with the zonation of the tree species in the same area (data on tree species and permanent plots already available). We expect that elevation inluences the distribution of some species in the forests, especially bird species that are more conined to under canopy layer or linked to particular tree species distribution.

Abstract
The concept of general intelligence was developed for humans, but recent work demonstrating its existence in nonhuman primates suggests evolutionary continuity. The adaptive signiicance of general intelligence must lie in the set of learned skills it generates for its bearer, rather than in an abstract ability per se. The cultural intelligence hypothesis claims that the conditions for social learning during development afect how intelligent an individual can become, by afecting how many learned skills an individual can acquire. It also claims that on evolutionary timescales, these conditions afect selection of the underlying learning ability. Here, we plan to test the developmental version, especially the predictions (i) that animals in populations with more opportunities for social learning, and thus a greater repertoire of learned skills, should show greater intelligence (problem- solving ability) when tested, and (ii) that the increased learning ability is likely to
make the animals more exploratory and less novelty-averse. We intend to test these predictions by comparing wild orangutans on Borneo (Tuanan research station, Kalimantan Tengah) and Sumatra (Suaq Balimbing research station, Aceh Selatan), which are known to difer widely in sociability and therefore opportunities for social learning and repertoires of cultural variants. As a control, in the course of other simultaneous projects orangutans of both species will be tested in rescue centers, where the social conditions are much more similar and constant proximity with conspeciics and humans should produce better opportunities for social
