Pijat merupakan terapi sentuh yang lembut yang diterapkan pada bagian tubuh tertentu untuk merelaksasikan otot dan memperlancar peredaran darah dalam tubuh sehingga dapat memberikan rasa nyaman pada bayi serta dapat membantu pertumbuhan dan perkembangan motorik, mental dan sosial pada bayi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pijat bayi terhadap perkembangan motorik pada bayi 3-6 bulan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Antang Kota Makassar. Metode penelitian menggunakan rancangan pre-eksperimental dengan pendekatan penelitian one group pretest and posttest, dimana sampel dalam penelitian ini dipilih berdasarkan tehnik purposive sampling dengan jumlah 30 responden. Pengumpulan data menggunakan KPSP. Analisis data dengan uji statistik Wilcoxon menggunakan SPSS versi 23. Hasil penelitian didapatkan p-value 0,000 < 0,05 yang menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh pijat bayi terhadap perkembangan motorik pada bayi 3-6 bulan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Antang Kota Makassar Pemijatan dapat diterapkan sebagai bentuk stimulasi pada bayi yang mana pada akhirnya pijat bayi menjadi salah satu intervensi upaya peningkatan derajat kesehatan bayi melalui perkembangan motorik dan pertumbuhan pada bayi.

Earthworms are an important component of natural and agricultural land ecosystems. The existence of earthworms in agricultural land can increase soil fertility and also support a sustainable agricultural system. This study aims to determine the abundance and distribution patterns of megadrilli earthworms in the Bengkulu Kabawetan Tea Plantation. Determination of the research location used the stratified sampling method which consisted of altitude strata, namely an altitude of 800, 900, and 1000 meters above sea level. The samples of earthworms were taken using the quadratic method (30 x 30 x 20 cm) and the hand sorting method as many as 15 plots for each location. The data were analyzed for population densities and distribution patterns using the Morisita Index formula. The results showed that only one species of megadrilli earthworm was found Pontoscolex corethrurus in tea plantations. The highest earthworm population density was at a location of 1000 m above sea level (89.66 individuals m -2 ), followed by a location of 900 m (70.33 individuals m -2 ), and the lowest density was at a location of 800 m (24.44 individuals m -2 ). Statistically, it showed that the densities of the earthworm population at an altitude of 1000 m and 900 m were not significantly different, but it was significantly different from an altitude of 800 m. The distribution pattern of megadrilli earthworms based on the Morisita Index value showed that the three locations have a clustered pattern.

A study on the species and abundance of subterranean termites (Insecta: Isoptera) in the area of the University of Bengkulu has been carried out from December 2018 to February 2019. This study aimed to find out the types and abundance of subterranean termites (Insecta: Isoptera) in the area of the University of Bengkulu. The points for research locations were determined using a purposive sampling technique. Termites were collected using the wood bait method in all research locations. The collected termites were then sprayed with 4% formalin and put into vials containing 70% alcohol, after that stored in a collection box. Furthermore, they were identified in the Laboratory of Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Basic Science Building, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Bengkulu. They were classified based on their families, subfamilies, and species. The obtained data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that from 770 individuals collected, it consisted of 3 species, 2 families, and 2 subfamilies, namely Microtermes inspiratus (family Termitidae, subfamily Macrotermitinae), Macrotermes gilvus (family Termitidae, subfamily Macrotermitinae), and Coptotermes curvignatus (family Rhinotermitidae, subfamily Coptotermitinae). The highest abundance was found in Macrotermes gilvus species with an abundance value of 150.000 individuals/m 3 .

In the range of 23 years, from 1992 to 2015, there has been a drastic decrease in the number of individual tamed Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus Temminck 1847) at the Seblat Elephant Training Center (PLG) from 40 individuals to 18 individuals. Decreasing the size of the tamed elephant population is suspected to be inappropriate elephant maintenance at PLG, disease, old age and malnutrition. Good governance in the maintenance and utilization of tamed elephants at PLG is thought to be able to increase the life span of elephants and their reproductive capacity. This study aims to examine the management of PLG, especially in the maintenance and utization of tamed elephants conducted by BKSDA, Bengkulu Province. The study was conducted by direct survey method to PLG Seblat and interviewing as well as searching various relevant literatures. The parameters observed refer to the minimum standard reference for handling elephants in captivity. The results of the study found that the maintenance and utilization of the tamed elephants at PLG were only partially fulfilling the minimum standard of management of the guided elephants such as training, grazing, trekking and patrolling. While the form of maintenance that is still below the standard that needs to be improved is related to the handling of elephant health and mitigation of tamed elephant conflict with communities around the PLG

Violin Crab (Uca) is type of crab living in mangrove habitat as a detrivore. In Bengkulu, the mangrove forest zone locates in many areas, including Kahyapu, Enggano Island and Gulf of Muaro Labu Nawi, Pulau Baai, Bengkulu City. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the pattern of Violin Crab distribution at mangrove forest in Kahyapu and Gulf of Muaro. The methodology used in this experiment, carried out from 2017 to 2018, was a survey done by random sampling. The samples were taken from 2 stations at 10 plots, whose size was1m x 1m each. The variable measured included the crab pattern of distribution and abiotic factor which might affect the growth of the crabs, such as water pH, temperature, and salinity Muaro Labu Nawi. However, the total Biola crab in these two habitats was 11, including Uca annulipes
