Abstrak: Oil palm and rubber are potential commodities for international trade and source of income for Indonesia. In the field, these commodities frequently attacked by termites. The diversity of termite species in those two plantation can be influenced by many factors. The aim of this research was to asses the diversity of termites species in oil palm and rubber plantations and factor affecting. Research was conducted on 4 plots (50 m x 50 m) on each plantation in Kabupaten Sarolangun, Jambi. Transects (50 m x 10 m) were set in the midlle of the plots and termite found were collected and identified. In addition, wooden stakes made of rubber wood were driven into the ground inside the subplots and termites attacked those wooden stakes were also collected. The result showed that diversity index were higher on rubber plantation than oil palm. Canopy coverage and type of vegetation affect the diversity of termite. Termite species found on oil palm were to 9 species: C. mohri, M. gilvus, M. insperatus, N. longinasoides, N. proatripennis, P. setiger, S. javanicus, S. medioobscurus and T. propinquus. Meanwhile termite species found on rubber plantation were 12 species: B. flavicans, C. mohri, H. hospitalis, M. insperatus, N. proatripennis, N. javanicus, P. aequalis, P. setiger, S. longirostris, S. medioobscurus, S. tarakensis and T. propinquus

Judul: Keanekaragaman Ordo Hymenoptera di Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit, Perkebunan Karet dan Hutan Karet di Jambi
Abstrak: There were much deforestations from primary forest to rubber and oil palm plantation in Jambi. Some taxa could be bioindicator, for example is Hymenopteran insects. This research purposed to study the diversity of Hymenoptera in oil palm plantation, rubber plantation and jungle rubber in Jambi. Insect collected by using insect net at 7 to 11 am. The environment parameters measured were temperature, humidity, and light intensity. In three vegetation habitats and villages adjacent Hutan Harapan, Jambi were found six families of Hymenoptera, i.e. Apidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae, Pompilidae, Sphecidae and Vespidae. Highest abundant found were Apis and Trigona. Endemic species found was Trigona minangkabau. The highest diversity of Hymenoptera was found in oil palm plantation (16 species), and the less diversity was in rubber plantation and village (9 species). Generally, number of species of Hymenoptera didn’t correlated significantly with temperature, light intensity and humidity.

Abstrak: The aim of this study was to learn the role of diagnostic imaging to define the diagnose of the upper gastrointestinal tract disorder of the Schnauzer. The information from the owner (anamneses) stated that the dog has been vomiting for a year, sometimes containing blood. There might also be a possibility that it had eaten a corpus alineum. This study case covered physical examination, hematology and blood chemical analysis, radiography, ultrasonography, and endoscopy performed. Physical examination showed weight loss and anorexia. Hematology and blood chemical analysis showed an increase in lymphocyte, haemoglobin (Hb), haemotocrit (Hct), ureum, creatinine, alanin aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Abdominal radiograph showed no abnormality in the abdominal organs. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a hyperechoic mass on the stomach mucosal surface. The mass forms an acoustic shadowing at the ventral. The acoustic shadowing in the stomach may be caused by an accumulation of gas or foreign object such as bone. Endoscopy showed that there was inconsistency of stomach mucosa surface, foamy bile fluid in the stomach, ulcers, and erosion of the stomach mucosal surface. Based on the endoscopy performed, the animal was clearly diagnosed with chronic gastritis accompanied by stomach ulcer and erosion.
