Seleksi Pohon untuk Sarang Kuntul Kerbau (Bubulcus ibis) di Dusun Wisata Ketingan Kab. Sleman Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
Abstract: Habitat selection of
Bubulcus ibis in Ketingan Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta was investigated
to provide basic information for population management. Presence of Bubulcus
ibis nest was surveyed along with identification available tree species. Tree
height, canopy size and openness, and distance from human disturbance were also
measured for each tree. The Chi Square test showed that bubulcus ibis selected
several species as nest trees such as Gnetum gnemon L., Cassia siamea Lamk.,
Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk., Calophyllum inophyllum L., Melia azedarach L.,
Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng., and Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum(Juss.) Miq. Tree
height, canopy height, canopy diameter and the distance from human disturbance
showed a significant difference between used and non-used trees for the nest,
however diameter breast high (DBH) and canopy openness of trees did not show
significant differences. Habitat management of Bubulcus ibis should be improved
by controlling its population that needed for the conservation of this bird
species.
