Informasi dari Feses dan Jejak Kaki Rusa Sambar (Cervus unicolor) serta Implikasinya pada Akurasi Penaksiran Populasi
Abstract: This study aims to
investigate Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolor) ecology from the encounter of pellet
piles groups and tracks in the study area. This study was carried out in
Swanslutung village, one of the villages in the Paser District, East
Kalimantan, where the hunting pressure is still relatively high and local
people still depend on hunting for bush-meat of Sambar Deer. Further discussion
addresses to find accurate and reliable scheme of population etimate. Average
density estimate for the study area, based on the groups of pellet piles count,
was 3.01 + 0.17 individuals/km2. Tracks can give information about sex and age
classes, some of essential parts to study population dynamic of Sambar Deer.
Dispersion of pellet piles groups and tracks can be used in tracking to study
home range and territories of the species.
Keywords: pellet piles groups,
tracks, population dynamic, Sambar Deer
