Karakteristik Habitat Bokkoi di Areal IUPHHK-HA PT Salaki Summa Sejahtera Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai Sumatera Barat

Abstract

Bokkoi, (Macaca pagensis) is one of primate of the genus Macaca which belongs to the endemic to the Mentawai Islands. One of its habitat is the concession area of IUPHHK-HA PT Salaki Sejahtera Summa. This research aims to identify characteristic of habitats bokkoi. The observed variables were composed of physical components that includes height above sea level, slope, distance position finds bokkoi from main streets and skid roads, distance from river. Meanwhile the components biotic variables were LmAI and FCD. The result showed that the components of habitat bokkoi that influenced the existence and the number of individual bokkoi were slope (physical) and density of the vegetation at the level of the pole and trees (biotic). Locomotion activity conducted on the land was occurred on flat slope, while the locomotion on trees required continuous canopy. In case of rest activity, bokkoi prefer to use a location that has a pole and tree with high density, low disturbance as well as steep slope. Feeding activities will depend heavily on the existence of a good feed of vegetation on the level of a pole or a tree. Social activities conducted bokkoi requires a high pole density, density, low trees and slope which belongs to the steep ramps
