Pola Aktivitas Harian dan Interaksi Banteng dan Rusa dalam Pemanfaatan Kawasan Padang Rumput Sadengan di Taman Nasional Alas Purwo, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur
Abstract: This research was
aimed to compare the pattern of daily activities between banteng and deer, and
their interaction on using feeding ground in Alas Purwo National Park,
Banyuwangi, East Java. Methods used in this research were scan sampling,
focused on groups of banteng and deer and focal animal sampling for four chosen
individuals from each group. The observations began at 06.00 until 18.00. Daily
activities recorded were resting, moving, feeding and drinking. Data analysis
was done through arrangement of an ethogram to show daily activity and the time
budget, and descriptive analysis to portray daily activity and interaction
between banteng and deer. The results show that there are differences in the
time used for resting and feeding between banteng and deer. Banteng used
feeding ground more for resting (93,2%) and moving (5,7%). While deer used more
for feeding (36,6%) and resting (61,8% ). Among chosen individuals of banteng
and deer time variation in daily activities was apparent. Adult female of
banteng has the highest time for resting (10,6 hours). It also occurred in
adult female of deer (8,4 hours). Individual of deer which has the highest time
for feeding is offspring with duration of 6,1 hours. Interaction between
banteng and deer on using feeding ground tended toward symbiosis of
commensalisms, in which they use it together without fighting. They too will
vocalize together whenever other species wants to use the feeding ground.
