Frugivorous bird characteristic of seed disperser in shrubland tropical forest West Java, Indonesia

Altitudinal patterns of abundances and parasitism in frugivorous drosophilids in west Java, Indonesia

The role of frugivorous bats in tropical forest succession.

Discussion of successional change has traditionally focused on plants. The role of animals in producing and responding to successional change has received far less attention. Dispersal of plant propagules by animals is a fundamental part of successional change in the tropics. Here we review the role played by frugivorous bats in successional change in tropical forests. We explore the similariti...

Molecular surveillance of Dengue in Sukabumi, West Java province, Indonesia.

INTRODUCTION Dengue is endemic and affects people in all Indonesian provinces. Increasing dengue cases have been observed every year in Sukabumi in West Java province. Despite the endemicity, limited data is available on the genetic of dengue viruses (DENV) circulating in the country. To understand the dynamics of dengue disease, we performed molecular and serological surveillance of dengue in ...

Women's status and child survival in West Java, Indonesia.

This study is introduced by a literature review of the concept of women's status, and related factors that determine infant and child mortality. Women's status is primarily defined by education, occupation and economic activity, which affect women's decision-making in the home and their independence in larger society. Cluster analysis was used to identify geographical patterns of standardized...

Determinants of Seed Disperser Effectiveness: the Quantity

— In this paper we analyze the seed dispersal stage of the Prunus mahaleb1 frugivorous bird interaction from fruit removal through seed delivery within the context of 2 disperser effectiveness. The effectiveness of a frugivorous species as a seed disperser is the 3 contribution it makes to plant fitness. Effectiveness depends on the quantity of seed dispersed 4 and the quality of dispersal prov...
