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1993; 30 Mar.-9 Apr. 1994; Dennis (1994): 26 Nov.-3 Dec. 1994 ; Dennis et at. 1997: 30 Jan.-11 Feb. 1996; R. Jensen (unpublished data): Nov. 1993-Jul. 1994 (RJ).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 KSDA Kenya Socialist Democratic Alliance , Sintang): reported in Giesen (1987); R. Wadley (1992-93); H. Noveriawan (HN): 1992-1993; R.

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 see displacement. " 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.

Figure 2 shows the cumulative species numbers for the five sampling localities (each sampled by four times ca 50 individuals, and extrapolated to 100 samples). 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. The five sample areas are readily classified into three groups with similar diversity values, species richness Please help recruit one or [ improve this article] yourself.

The three more complex swamp forest localities (Gernis, Pemera, Empaik) are much richer with an increasing proportion of primary forest species. The hill forest (Menyukung) scores highest in terms of diversity, and the majority of its birds are primary forest inhabitants
The game is based loosely on the concepts from SameGame. . 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).

In August very few pigeons and barbets were seen by Sebastian (1993), few to none in November-December (Dennis 1993; Dennis et a!. 1997; RJ). These birds were found to be far more numerous in both individuals and species in April, especially Cinnamon-headed Green Pigeon (Zool.) any one of numerous species of Old World pigeons belonging to the family See also: Pigeon T fulvicollis) (van Balen 1997), and this coincided the fruiting of figs (W.

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. Water birds Water birds (according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Sonobe and Usui 1993) of the following orders: Pelecaniformes, Ciconiiformes, Anseriformes, Gruiformes and Charadriiformes. Herons are especially well represented, but waders, rails and ducks are much scarcer. Endemic endemic /en·dem·ic/ (en-dem´ik) present or usually prevalent in a population at all times. en·dem·ic adj. 1. species Only five (including two species yet to be confirmed) of the 36 to 44' Bornean endemics have been recorded from DSNP. PHALACROCORACIDAE (Darters/Cormorants) Borneo: 3 [+ 1] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 1. The globally near-threatened Oriental darter The Oriental Darter or Indian Darter (Anhinga melanogaster ), sometimes called Snakebird, is a water bird of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is a cormorant-like species that has a very long neck. It often swims with only the neck above water. Anhinga anhinga or snakebird Any fish-eating bird of the family Anhingidae (order Pelecaniformes), sometimes considered a single species (Anhinga anhinga) with geographical variants. Anhingas are about 35 in. (90 cm) long, slender, and long-necked. melanogaster is a scarce bird in the area, but reportedly more common and found breeding in the area in the past (Dennis et al. 1997). ARDEIDAE (Herons) Borneo: 17 [+ 3] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 12 [+2]. Unconfirmed record of Rufous ru·fous adj. Strong yellowish pink to moderate orange; reddish. rufous red. Night-heron Nycticorax caledonicus (BS) would be the first documented for Kalimantan; Chinese Pond-heron Ardeola bachus is a very rare visitor to Borneo and its records (LJ; AJ) should be confirmed.

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 There are a fair number of sightings
Sightings was a paranormal-themed television program that was first broadcast as an hour special entitled "UFO Report: Sightings" in October 1991. 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). PANDIONIDAE (Osprey osprey (ŏs`prē), common name for a bird of prey related to the hawk and the New World vulture and found near water in most parts of the world. ) Borneo: 1 sp.

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. Butastur indicus (Dennis 1994 (3); H. Noveriawan unpublished data 1992-93). The buzzard buzzard, common name for hawks of the genus Buteo and the genus Pernis, or honey buzzard, of the Old World family Accipitridae. Honey buzzards feed on insects, wasp and bumblebee larvae, and small reptiles. is known from northern Borneo only, whereas the Bat Hawk and Besra are generally rare in Kalimantan and no records are known from West Kalimantan West Kalimantan (Indonesian: Kalimantan Barat often abbreviated to Kalbar) is a province of Indonesia. 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 said of naturally wild or feral animals kept in captivity for educational and scientific investigation with no attempt being made to domesticate them. Brahminy Kites The Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus), also known as the Red-backed Sea-eagle, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards and harriers. Haliastur indus were seen; the very high proportion of juveniles suggests a high turnover through death or sale (Sebastian 1993; Dennis 1994; van Balen 1996).

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 abbr. north-northwest Noun 1.

Rallina fasciata and Watercock The Watercock Gallicrex cinerea is a waterbird in the rail and crake family Rallidae. It is the only member of the genus Gallicrex. 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. They have a brown cap, a white forehead, a black mask around the eyes with white above and a short dark bill. Charadrius dubius was observed on 10 August 1993 (Sebastian 1993), and the only recent one for West Kalimantan. SCOLOPACIDAE (Sandpipers) Borneo: 25 [+10] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 2. Common Sandpiper The Common Sandpiper, Actitis hypoleucos, is a small wader, 18 - 20 cm long with a 32-35 cm wingspan. Together with its sister species, the Spotted Sandpiper (A. macularia) they make up the genus Actitis. Actitis hypoleucos and Wood Sandpiper The Wood Sandpiper, Tringa glareola, is a small wader. It is the smallest of the shanks, and breeds in subarctic wetlands from the Scottish Highlands across Europe and Asia. It will nest on the ground, or reuse the old tree nest of another bird, such as the Fieldfare. Tringa glareola are widespread migrants from the northern hemisphere occurring in small numbers. LARIDAE (Gulls/Terns) Borneo: 13 [+3] spp. Recorded in DSNP: 1. Little Terns The Little Tern (Sternula albifrons) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. It was formerly placed into the genus Sterna, which now is restricted to the large white terns (Bridge et al., 2005). The former North American (S. a.

It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand. Platysmurus leucopterus three were seen near the Tekenang field station (Dennis 1994). 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 higher species richness of its swamp/dry hill forest ecotone e·co·tone n. A transitional zone between two communities containing the characteristic species of each. [eco- + Greek tonos, tension, tone; see tone. apparently compensates for a lower evenness value. The cumulative curves in Figure 2ab do not tell us much about the biodiversity biodiversity: see biological diversity. biodiversity Quantity of plant and animal species found in a given environment. Sometimes habitat diversity (the variety of places where organisms live) and genetic diversity (the variety of traits expressed of entire DSNP, but the number thus far found, 237 [to 282] is likely to be close the actual number of bird species present in DSNP. Bird families especially well represented are the herons, and a number of families which members may increase in numbers in numbered parts; as, a book published in numbers. See also: Number only seasonally (see van Balen 1996), dependent on fruiting resources (pigeons, hornbills), nectar resources (sunbirds), seasonal presence and breeding seasons Breeding season is the most suitable season usually with favorable conditions and abundant food and water when wild animals and birds (wildlife) have naturally evolved to breed to achieve the best reproductive success. of host species (cuckoos). The abundance and relative intactness completeness of the woodpecker woodpecker, common name for members of the Picidae, a large family of climbing birds found in most parts of the world. Woodpeckers typically have sharp, chisellike bills for pecking holes in tree trunks, and long, barbed, extensible tongues with which they impale guild, which are believed to be indicators of good forest (cf Lambert 1992), is rather surprising considering the disturbances that take place in the area.

Excessive trapping trapping, most broadly, the use of mechanical or deceptive devices to capture, kill, or injure animals. It may be applied to the practice of using birdlime to capture birds, lobster pots to trap lobsters, and seines to catch fish. has almost certainly already extirpated the Straw-headed Bulbul in DSNP, as it has in most areas in the Greater Sundas (van Balen 1997). The Brahminy Kites and Purple Herons are other species under possibly excessive hunting pressure. Old reports (Enthoven 1903), topographic topographic describing or pertaining to special regions. names referring to former bird colonies A bird colony is used to refer to large aggregations of individuals of one or more species of bird that roost or nest in close proximity at a particular location. The habit of nesting in groups is believed to provide better survival against predators due to the larger number (Danau Peranak Burung; Danau Sarang Burung, Danau Pulau Burung), and the widespread water quality and prolific fish populations suggest that the flood plains might be of major importance to waterbirds such as herons and storks (Dennis et al. 1997). Especially the sudden "arrival" of a breeding colony of the globally threatened Lesser Adjutant, and apparently regular (though yet to be documented) breeding of Storm's Stork, make the area one of the last refuges of these species. Another important category of birds in DSNP are the extreme lowland specialists (Wells 1985), many of which are globally (near)threatened, and 33 species (67% of Borneo's total; excludes 7 unconfirmed species) occur in the DNSP DNSP Distribution Network Service Provider DNSP Direction Nationale de la Sante Publique (French) DNSP Directeur National de Sante Publique (French) DNSP Distributed Networked Services Platform . These species generally do not occur at altitudes above the hill-foot boundary and are especially vulnerable to the proceeding destruction of lowland forest in Borneo. It is not always clear what the impact is of the seasonal inundation INUNDATION. The overflow of waters by coming out of their bed. 2. Inundations may arise from three causes; from public necessity, as in defence of a place it may be necessary to dam the current of a stream, which will cause an inundation to the upper lands; and human disturbance. Jeanes and Meijaard (2000b, this volume) suggest that the high incidence of human activity during the dry season (= peak fishing season) has an impact on the presence of wildlife in the lake basin. Also disturbances through swidden swid·den n. An area cleared for temporary cultivation by cutting and burning the vegetation. [Dialectal alteration of obsolete swithen, from Old Norse svidhna, to be burned.] cultivation cultivation, tilling or manipulation of the soil, done primarily to eliminate weeds that compete with crops for water and nutrients. Cultivation may be used in crusted soils to increase soil aeration and infiltration of water; it may also be used to move soil to or , burning and logging (Giesen, 1987; Giesen and Aglionby, 2000, this volume), have clearly impact on bird diversity.

It may indicate disturbance as a decrease in species richness of these bird groups has been found in disturbed (e.g., selectively logged) forests elsewhere (cf. Lambert, 1992).

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.
