Judul: Preferensi makanan pada dua species cicak, Hemidactylus frenatus Dymb. Bibr dan Cosymbotus platyurus Schneider melalui analisis makanan dalam lambung
Abstrak: The aim of this research was to study of food preference of two house gecko species, H. frenatus (Hf) and C. platyurus (Cp) at several localities in Bogor. This study were conducted from November 2005 upto Mei 2006. Geckos were collected from evening upto midnight (16:00 - 01:00 WIB) by hands, stick, and water gun. Morphometrical characters and diametre of stomachs were measured using caliper (with 0.05 mm precission). Stomach contents were grouped into animal, plant material, and other material. Data were analyzed by calculation of total item in each food category (ni), the number of items (N), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') and evenness (E), Jaccard's similarity index (Cj), and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with 95% confidence level. The diet composition of two gecko species were Insecta (95%), Arachnida (0.65%), Mollusca (0.1%), plant materials (2.5%), and other materials (1.75%). Fourteen food categories were found in Hf and 11 food categories were found in Cp. Food diversity in Hf (H'= 1.536) was higher than Cp (H'= 1.429) but evenness in Hf and Cp were equal (E= 0.582 and E= 0.596). The similarity of food item in Hf and Cp was high (Cj= 0.75). Food category in two gecko species were dominated by flies and mosquito (Diptera). Percentage of food category from gecko at Gunung Batu were higher than other areas. Food percentage were higher in December and February than other months. Based on ANOVA analysis of food percentage between locations and months were not significantly different (P>0.05).

Judul: Inventarisasi dan Identifikasi Tungau Ektoparasit pada Cicak di Kabupaten Cianjur
Abstrak: Ectoparasite mites are parasitic organisms that live on the surface of the host, sucking the blood or feed on hair, fur, skin, or skin secretions. This research aim to inventarisation and identification of mites ectoparasites on gecko in Cianjur areas. The research was conducted from January 2012 until July 2012. Gecko and mites were collected and preserved in 70% alcohol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared used polyvinyl alcohol media. The result showed that there are three species of gecko (Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and Gehyra mutilata) was infested by Geckobia mites. There are new seven spesies of Geckobia (G4, G5, G6, G7, G10, G11, and G12). Analysis of the presence of mites done by calculate the value of prevalence (P), the average intensity of infestation (I), and the total intensity (It). The prevalence in C. Platyurus gecko (P = 74.38%) is higher than G. mutilata (P = 50%), and H. frenatus (P = 33.33%), while the average infestation intensity (I) and total intensity (It) is the highest found in G. mutilata (I = 10 and It = 11). Geckobia G4 and Geckobia G10 were found only on C. platyurus; Geckobia G5 and Geckobia G12 were found on C. platyurus and G. mutilata; Geckobia G6 were found on whole infected gecko; Geckobia G7 were found on C. platyurus and H. frenatus; and Geckobia G11 were found on H. frenatus and G. mutilata. So it is concluded that the new seven species mites has not a specific distribution pattern of their hosts.
