Shanidah SS, Partasasmita R, Hudoso T. Parikesit, Meganatara EN. 2018. Short Communication: Javan Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis javanensis Desmarest, 1816) in the Cisokan non-conservation forest areas, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 37-41. Javan Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis javanensis Desmarest, 1816) in the Cisokan non-conservation forest areas, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: xx, xxx.There is no accurate data about the number of leopard individuals in Java Island in both conservation and non-conservation areas. Besides, human continue to deforestation for the necessities of life, such as agriculture, plantation, etc. Therefore, it is important to research about the existence of leopard cat in Cisokan of Cianjur Regency. The aim of this research is to investigate evidence of the leopard cat’s existence, encounter rate of leopard cat and estimation of leopard cat individual in the non-conservation forest areas, Cisokan, Cianjur. Indirect observation sign survey and direct observation with camera trap were carried out to find evidence of the existence of leopard cat (feces and footprint). The results of the study showed that the evidence of leopard cat’s existence are 6 footprints, 27 feces, and 1 individual which was able to observe. The encounter with camera traps was 29.16 independent detections /100 camera days, resulting in 7-12 estimated individuals.

Short Communication: Proportion faunal assemblage of rodents in geoecological districts of Mordovia, Russia

“…In comparison to Cisokan, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia, the proportion of rodent species from other mammals is higher (Withaningsih et al 2018;Husodo et al 2019). This is a feature differing Mordovia of many other mammal faunas, where representatives of the other animal orders predominate (Wirdateti et al 2013;Sulistyadi 2016;Medina et al 2018;Shanidah et al 2018). We assume that the geographic latitude of the area inhabited by rodent species may be decisive in this difference.…”

Analysis of the Structure and Ecological Function of an Extreme Landscape in a Tropical Region of West Java, Indonesia

“…This research was specifically conducted in the future Cisokan sub-watershed area. One study successfully revealed the existence of the Javan leopard in both natural and production forests in Rongga Sub-district [18]. Furthermore, research revealed the existence of Javan leopards in natural forests [20].…”

“…Figure 6 show some research that has revealed the presence of several animals in the dry land forests of Rongga Sub-district [16][17][18][19][20]. This research was specifically conducted in the future Cisokan sub-watershed area.…”
