Birds of the Danau Sentarum National Park.


S. (Bas) van Balen

The Danau Sentarum National Park (DSNP DSNP Digital Signal Noise Processing
DSNP Danau Sentarum National Park (Borneo)
DSNP Digital Synchronization Network Plan
) is a wetland conservation area of high priority (Scott, 1989; Giesen and Aglionby, 2000, this volume; Jeanes and Meijaard, 2000b, this volume). Under pressure of the present rapid development of Borneo's natural resources, its lake system and associated swamp forest habitats constitute an increasingly scarce ecosystem. DSNP is especially important for a number of birds dependent on the swamp forest habitats provided by this unique reserve. However, threats come from habitat destruction Habitat destruction is a process of land use change in which one habitat-type is removed and replaced with another habitat-type. In the process of land-use change, plants and animals which previously used the site are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity. , excessive egg collecting, hunting for meat, collecting for the pet trade and other disturbances (Giesen, 1987; van Balen, 1996; Dennis et at., 1997).

This paper evaluates the importance of the area and its immediate surroundings for the conservation of birds, in particular those that are dependent on the DSNP wetlands and associated forest habitats, and the hills in the peripheries of the area.

METHODS

Data collection

Review of reports

The following reports have been scrutinized: Giesen (1987): 1986; Hood (1993): 1-24 Dec. 1992; 23 Feb.-8 Mar. 1993; Sebastian (1993): 8-18 Aug. 1993; van Balen (1996): 28 Jul.-2 Aug. 1993; 30 Mar.-9 Apr. 1994; Dennis (1994): 26 Nov.-3 Dec. 1994 ; Dennis et at. 1997: 30 Jan.-11 Feb. 1996; R. Jensen (unpublished data): Nov. 1993-Jul. 1994 (RJ). Additional records are from Enthoven (1903), Dunselman (1937), L. Jembu (KSDA KSDA Korea Securities Dealers Association

 hill forests in the peripheries. For each habitat type, four sample counts were made along transects that were walked or boated along slowly, during each of which 45-49 encounters of birds were tallied (cf Thiollay, 1995); in the early morning these counts would last 30-40 minutes, later in the morning and afternoon up to 1.5-2 hours. Waterbirds, raptors, swifts (an exception has been made for Silver-rumped Swift Rhaphidura leucopygialis and tree-swifts) were excepted from the sampling.

Interviews

During most surveys semi-structured interviews A semi-structured interview is a method of research used in the social sciences. While a structured interview has a formalized, limited set questions, a semi-structured interview is flexible, allowing new questions to be brought up during the interview as a result of what the  were conducted with local hunters and fishermen in the DSNP. Valuable information on occurrence and abundance was obtained on a variety of species, but records of rare or "displaced displaced

" species were treated by us with caution.

Data analysis

Bird Species Diversity

The Shannon-Weaver formula (MacArthur and MacArthur, 1961) is used for calculating the values for the Bird Species Diversity index (H):

H = - [SIGMA] [p.sub.i]/ln[p.sub.i]

in which [p.sub.i] is the number of individuals of species i divided by total number of individuals.

The diversity index is determined by species number and evenness (or equitability, J; see Pielou 1966). As shifting relative densities of species within a community could influence the dynamics (stability, productivity) of an ecosystem, evenness in particular is an important measure of community structure.

J = D/[D.sub.max] (with [D.sub.max] = - [log.sub.e] 1/n; a = number of species in the sample).

Similarity Similarity is some degree of symmetry in either analogy and resemblance between two or more concepts or objects. The notion of similarity rests either on exact or approximate repetitions of patterns in the compared items.  Index

The similarity index (S) of Jaccard (1901) was used to show to change in species composition of the different communities going from the low, disturbed swamp forest through tall swamp forest and complex dipterocarp hill forest.

S = c / a + b + c

in which a and b are the numbers of species unique to communities 1 and 2 respectively, and c species common to both.

The Tekenang curve has nearly reached its maximum, i.e., more sampling would yield only few species. For Menyukung more surveys would have been needed to cover its complete species spectrum. The three swamp forest curves (Empaik, Gemis and Pemera) are intermediate. The curves show that Menyukung would potentially contain at least 160 spp, each of the three swamp forest at least 120, and Tekenang c. 45 spp.

Seasonality in habitat use

Field observations suggest that the peat swamp and hill forests constitute important refuges for a variety of wildlife during the seasonal flooding (9-10 months/year) of the lake basin (Jeanes and Meijaard, 2000b, this volume).

Systematic Notes

The following is a systematic account of the birds in DSNP. See Appendix 1 for complete lists of the species and families mentioned. The following categories of birds receive special attention as their presence in DSNP is of major conservation importance.

Globally threatened bird species

This category follows the BirdLife International BirdLife International (formerly known as the International Council for Bird Preservation) is the international conservation organization working to protect the world’s birds and their habitats.  Red List of birds (Collar et at. 1994). Nine threatened and 22 near-threatened species (including eight which presence has yet to be confirmed) have been found in the area.

 Chinese Egret The Chinese Egret or Swinhoe's Egret, Egretta eulophotes, is a full-crested, white egret with yellow bill. It breeds in Russia, North Korea, South Korea and mainland China, and then migrates south through Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.  Egretta eulophotes (Dennis et at. 1997) (2). Several active nests of the near-threatened Great-billed Heron The Great-billed Heron, Ardea sumatrana is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, resident from southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea and Australia. Its habitats are largely coastal such as islands, coral reefs, mangroves, large rivers.  Ardea sumatrana have been observed (RJ). At Pejerin there is a breeding colony of Purple Heron Ardea purpurea (Dennis et at. 1997), but this under extreme pressure because of the collection of eggs and young birds.

CICONIIDAE (Storks) Borneo: 2 spp. Recorded in DSNP: 2

 of the globally endangered Storm's Stork The Storm's Stork, Ciconia stormi is a large, approximately 91cm long, stork with black and white plumages, red bill, orange bare facial skin, red legs and yellow orbital skin. Both sexes are similar. The young has duller plumage and bare skin.  Ciconia stormi in the area (Hood 1993; Sebastian 1993; Dennis 1993; van Balen 1996).

One capture specimen was released by park staff at Tekenang in August 1994. Nesting has been reported by locals from several places in the area, but nest site description (at 1 m in floating grass/reed vegetation) does not fit the description for documented nesting in literature. Surprisingly the vulnerable Lesser Adjutant The Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is a widespread species which is resident breeder in southern Asia from India east to southern China and Java.  Leptoptilos javanicus was unknown from DSNP until breeding was reported in 1995 (8+ nests) and 1996 from the Nung forest, where they had not been breeding for the last thirty years (Dennis et at. 1997).

ACCIPITRIDAE (Hawks/Eagles) Borneo: 22 [+4] spp. Recorded in DRWR DRWR Drawer : 11 [+6].

There are unconfirmed records of Bat Hawk The Bat Hawk (Macheiramphus alcinus) is a raptor found in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia to New Guinea. It is named for its diet, which consists mainly of bats. It requires open space in which to hunt, but will live anywhere from dense rainforest to semi-arid veld.  Macheiramphus alcinus (BS), Besra Accipiter virgatus, Grey-faced Buzzard The Grey-faced Buzzard (Butastur indicus) is an Asian bird of prey. It is typically between 41-46 cm in length, making it a medium-sized raptor. It breeds in East Russia, North China, Korea, Japan, and winters in South-east Asia.

It is a bird of open land.

It is one of four Indonesian provinces in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo. Its capital city Pontianak is located right on the Equator line. ; documentation of the records is needed. The globally near-threatened Lesser Fish-eagle Ichthyophaga humilis is a riverine forest specialist and found in very small numbers in DSNP; Grey-headed Fish-eagle I. ichthyaetus is more widespread in the more open swamp forests. The globally near-threatened Jerdon's Baza Jerdon's Baza (Aviceda jerdoni) is a small bird of prey found in the Eastern Himalayas, China, Sri Lanka, South-east Asia. It inhabits forests.

It can be easily mistaken for the larger Changeable Hawk Eagle, but it has a distinctive upright crest of feathers.
 Aviceda jerdoni was seen on several occasions (Dennis 1994; van Balen 1996). There are a number of records of the vulnerable Wallace's Hawk-eagle The Wallace's Hawk-eagle, Aigle De Wallace, or Aguila-azor De Wallace (Spizaetus nanus) is a species of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.  Spizaetus nanus (Dennis 1994; van Balen 1996; RJ); observations of the hill species Blyth's Hawk-eagle The Blyth's Hawk Eagle, (Spizaetus alboniger) is a bird of prey. Like all eagles, it is in the family Accipitridae.

It breeds in Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo. It is a bird of open woodland, although island forms prefer a higher tree density.
 Spizaetus alboniger (Giesen, 1987; Hood, 1993; Dennis 1994) need confirmation. In the villages numerous captive captive

ANATIDAE (Ducks) Borneo: 6 [+6] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 1.

PHASIANIDAE (Pheasants) Borneo: 12 [+1] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 4 [+3].

Most records of the species have been obtained through interviews with local hunters (Hood 1993; Dennis 1997) and the presence in the reserve of Black Partridge The Black Partridge, Melanoperdix niger, also known as the Black Wood Partridge, is a small (up to 27cm long) partridge with a thick bill, grey legs and dark brown iris. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Melanoperdix.  Melanoperdix nigra, Crestless Fireback The Crestless Fireback (Lophura erythrophthalma) is a species of bird in the Phasianidae family. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.  Lophura erythrophthalma and Bulwer's Pheasant Bulwer's Pheasant (Lophura bulweri) is also known as Bulwer's Wattled Pheasant, the Wattled Pheasant, or the White-tailed Wattled Pheasant. It is a Southeast Asian bird in the Phasianidae family; endemic to the forests of Borneo.  L. bulweri has to be confirmed in due time. An old, unconfirmed record of Polyplectron schleiermacheri has been omitted as the bird appeared to be unknown with local hunters; however, in 1998-99 the species' presence was confirmed from Sungai Badak, near the Sarawak border, immediately NNW NNW

Their breeding habitat is swamps across south Asia from India and Sri Lanka to south China, Japan and Indonesia.
 Gallicrex cinerea (BS) need confirmation due to possible confusion with other rails.

CHARADRIIDAE (Plovers) Borneo: 8 [+4] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 1.

Plovers are scarce in the interior and accordingly only few reach DSNP. An early arrival of eight Little Ringed Plover The Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) is a small plover. Adults have a grey-brown back and wings, a white belly, and a white breast with one black neckband.

DISCUSSION

The minimal sample sizes fell short of covering even a near-complete spectrum of DSNP species: together they contained only 130 species. The cumulative curves confirm that the sample counts conducted are far from adequate to calculate species diversity, and only give a preliminary judgement. However, the counts suggest a trend of increasing higher diversity and expected total species number with habitat complexity. The three swamp forest plots appear extremely similar, and differences in diversity are only determined by slight differences in evenness. Despite its taller forest habitat, Empaik has lower diversity and evenness values, but has a similar extrapolated total number of species.

The DSNP swamps and lakes are a unique ecosystem, and with 237+ bird species it is richer than any other comparable (and intensively surveyed) wetland conservation area in Kalimantan: the Middle Mahakam Area with 207 spp. (Gonner in press), but which is very much disturbed (Giesen, 2000, this volume); Tanjung Puting with 218 spp. (Nash and Nash 1988; Negara and Barito river Barito is a river in South Kalimantan, Indonesia which passes through the city of Banjarmasin.  basins with 140+ spp, which, however, lost most of their conservation value (van Balen and Prentice 1997); Gunung Palung NP with 203 spp (Laman et al. 1996).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Research

1. The DSNP area is important for a number of globally threatened, notably Storm's Stork, Lesser Adjutant, Wallace's Hawk-eagle, Crested Fireback and Wrinkled Hornbill, Straw-headed Bulbul (if still surviving), and offers unique opportunities for in-depth studies of their ecology ecology, study of the relationships of organisms to their physical environment and to one another. The study of an individual organism or a single species is termed autecology; the study of groups of organisms is called synecology.  and biology.

2. The number of yet to be confirmed species indicates the urgency to do more surveys, in which mist-netting and trapping in the hill and swamp forests, as well as scrub and reed marshes would be productive, especially for the more secretive se·cre·tive

Management

1. The high potential of the swamp and hill forests in the peripheries of DSNP have great ornithological importance and should be included into DSNP as far as they have not been.

2. Law enforcement should be improved to allow the recovery of the populations of both globally and locally threatened birds, the Birds, The
