Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan hubungan kekerabatan varietas ubi banggai (Dioscorea sp.) berdasarkan karakter fenotipik. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian dekskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian  diperoleh dari di Tinangkung Utara Kabupaten Banggai Kepulauan yaitu Desa Palam, Desa Luksagu dan Desa Bangpanga. Karakterisasi mengacu pada 15 karakter morfometrik, 2 karakter meristik dan 27 karakter kualitatif. Data diolah menggunakan Program File Editor (PFE), dianalisis menggunakanan analisis klaster dengan program Multivariat Statistical Package (MVSP). Indeks similaritas dihitung menggunakan metode Simple Matching Coefficient, rekonstruksi dendogram menggunakan UPGMA alogarithm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 13 varietas ubi banggai di Kabupaten Banggai Kepulauan, Sulawesi Tengah membentuk 2 klaster dan memiliki hubungan kekerabatan yang dekat dengan indeks similaritas antara 0,766-1,00%. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi informasi dasar yang sangat diperlukan dalam upaya pelestarian dan pengembangan Ubi Banggai sebagai sumber pangan alternatif. Selain itu, informasi ini juga diharapkan dapat dimanfaatkan dalam melengkapi referensi ilmiah terkait penelitian Ubi Banggai.

Background: VP1 structural protein plays a role as a key player in the pathogenesis, has a uniqueness that is interesting enough to be studied by studying the nature and function of structural proteins VP1. This study aims to predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins VP1 on EV-A71. Methods: The target protein is obtained from UniProt server with an access code A0A097EV89using templates 4cey.1.A (PDB ID) were analyzed in silico by homology method using SWISS-MODEL server. Results: Analysis showed the target protein and the template has 95.29% identity and is composed of 297 amino acids with a value of -2.15 QMEAN. Structural protein VP1 in Ramachandran Plots have a stable structure, non-glycine residue in the outlier regions only around 0.34% (A53 ALA) Rated rotamer outliers 1.61%.    Conclusion: The three-dimensional structure model of the protein studied has a stable structure and the information obtained is useful for further research in developing vaccines for diseases caused by EV-A71.  

Knowledge of behavior is very important to maintain the habitat of the maleo as an endemic animal to Sulawesi that must be preserved. Research takes place in March-December 2021. The research location is in the Saluki Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi Province. The study took place in March-December 2021. The findings targeted in the study are: (1) Information on egg-laying behavior, (2). When laying eggs, (3) After laying eggs, (4) Determining the length of time for laying eggs, (5) Physical characteristics of the nest and vegetation. The research method used the survey method. Observations of maleo bird activity were carried out every day for 3 months in the egg-laying season from May to July. The results showed that the physical condition of the average nest depth was 67.78 cm, the average nest width was 52.78 cm, the average nest temperature was 33.44°C, the nest humidity was 76.11% and, the soil acidity (pH) with an average of 6.35. The vegetation found at the nesting site consisted of 18 species. The maleo maleo bird's egg-laying behavior activities are playing, snooping (observation), and making a trick hole. There were four activities of female maleo bird laying behavior, namely playing, digging holes for laying eggs, lurking, making trick holes and laying eggs. The duration of time needed by male maleo birds when playing, snooping, making holes, until the female finishes laying eggs, which takes 92 minutes. While the female takes 84 minutes.

Background: Habitat is a place for living things to grow and develop. Differences in habitat in an area can affect the size of an organism. This study aims to determine the morphometric variations of Tetragonula laeviceps found in urban and forest habitats in Central Sulawesi Province. Methods: This research was conducted with roaming technique. Morphometric characters observed were 35 characters of stingless bee and analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Results: The results of this study indicated that the morphometric size variation of T. laeviceps found in forest habitats (3.58 mm) is greater than that of wild bee in urban habitats (3.05 mm). Conclusions: Different habitat characteristics can affect the morphometry variations of the bee, especially in T. laeviceps species. The bee's morphometry body size is greater than in the forest habitat, because in that habitat there are environmental temperatures and types of plant sources of nectar which are more supportive for bee life compared to urban habitats.
