Sebagai Iangkah awal untuk menjelaskan hubungan kekerabatan antar spesies Tarsius Storr, 1780, dilakukan studi fiogenetik menggunakan data sekuen DNA mitokondria daerah ND4—ND5. Pada analisis tersebut di akukan pendekatan maximum parsimony dengan ap ikasi komputer Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (PAUP). Hasil anal isis men unjukkan bahwa posisi genus Tarsius dalam ordo Primata perlu dipisahkan dan subordo Anthropoidea ataupun ordo Prosimii. Selain itu pada kelompok Tarsius di Filipina lebih berkerabat dengan kelompok Tarsius di P. Sulawesi, dibandingkan dengan kelompok Tarsius di P. Kalimantan dan P. Sumatra. Adapun kelompok-kelompok Tarsius yang diperbandingkan antara lain T. syrichta (Linnaeus, 1758) di Filipina; T. spectrum (Pallas, 1778) dan T. sangirensis Meyer, 1896 di P. Sulawesi; serta T. bancanus Horsfield, 1821 di P. Kalimantan dan P. Sumatra.

Telah dilakukan penelitian pada kelompok anoa (Anoa Smith 1827) di Kebun Binatang Ragunan (KBR) Jakarta yang bertujuan untuk menelaah ulang penamaan terhadap anoa yang berada di KBR, dengan melihat kariotipe dan hasil G-banding kromosomnya. Penelitian dilakukan mengingat kemungkinan terjadinya kesalahan dalam penempatan kandang pada anoa di KBR serta kemungkinan terdapatnya hibrid dari persilangan yang terjadi. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan menggunakan data studi kromosom. Dari penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa masih terdapat kekeliruan dalam penempatan kandang dan penamaan pada anoa di KBR yang mengakibatkan terjadinya kelahiran anoa betina hibrid. Kesalahan dalam penempatan kandang dan penamaan yang terjadi tidak terlepas dari masih kacaunya penamaan anoa dewasa ini.

Diantara anggota famili Cervidae, genus Muntiacus terbukti memiliki variasi kromosom yang sangat tinggi/ juga pada tingkat spesies. Telah dilakukan penelitian terhadap kromosom subspesies Muntiacus muntjak dari Pulau Jawa, yaitu M. muntjak muntjak (Zimmermann) yang dipelihara di Kebun Binatang Jakarta dan Surabaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah kromosom 2n = 8$/9d. Telah dilakukan deskripsi kariotipe M. m. muntjak, presentasi pola G-banding dalam bentuk idiogram, serta penyajian letak daerah heterokromatin hasil pewarnaan C-banding. Kesimpulan yang dapat dirumuskan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah: (1) Adanya homologi antara pola G-banding kromosom nomor 1 dan 3 M. m. muntjak dengan pola G-banding kromosom nomor 1 M. m. vaginalis Boddaert menyatakan bahwa peristiwa fusi kromosom merupakan mekanisme yang menyebabkan perbedaan jumlah kromosom antara kedua subspesies tersebut; (2) Pewarnaan Cbanding menghasilkan pita gelap yang menandai daerah heterokromatin seluruh set kromosom dengan intensitas yang berbeda-beda; paling lebar pada sentromer kromosom X dan paling sempit pada sentromer kromosom nomor 1. Pewarnaan C-banding mengkonfirmasikan teori bahwa hilangnya urutan DNA repetitif pada heterokromatin autosom menunjukkan telah terjadi peristiwa fusi sentrik yang berulang-ulang.

Lore Lindu National Park covers 217,991 ha of Central Sulawesi. The elevation range from 200 m asl in Pakuli to 2,355 m asl at the top of Nokilalaki mountain on the north east of this national park. This wide range of the elevation has become the supporting factor of the high biodiversity in this national park. There were many Sulawesi endemic faunas which have been found in this national park. This national park have at least 5 species of squirrel, 31 of 38 of the rats species are endemic not to mention other big mammals and the species of shrews which are mostly endemic. Approximately there are 55 species of bats inhabit this national park. This group of animals plays important economic and ecological roles including producing fertilizer, pollinating fruit trees, and consuming vast numbers of insects. Bat’s morphology and anatomy are basically like that of any other mammal, the wings are the most obvious distinguishing characteristic. The fundamental similarity in structure of all bats has required the group to expand into new habitat or to partition their niche. Ecomorphology is a study that relates the morphological structures that construct an organism with ecological and evolutionary consequences of that designs. Some previous study indicate the relationship between morphological characters such as cranial or wing characters with diet and niche partition in bats. Ecomorphological study of bats is very lack in Sulawesi particularly which correlates with its ecological function such as niche partition. The study on ecomorphology has not been comprise the whole area of this national park. There were no reports on this study at the South West Part of Lore Lindu National Park, near Tomado village. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is a pattern of variation in which asymmetry values are normally distributed around a mean of zero. FA has been considered as the product of random errors in development, and thus a measure of developmental stability. The level of FA in a trait may indicate genetic, developmental, or environmental stress. The study of FA can also predict the interspecies relationship between two or more species in one area. The study of FA in bats has never been conducted in Lore Lindu National Park. This study can explain the interspecies relationship among bats species and the level of environmental stress in the national park. This study focused on two topics: (1) ecomorphological relationship between wing characters and niche partition in bat community, and (2) fluctuating asymmetry pattern in bat community. The study area was located at Lore Lindu National Park, Salupada Mountain, Tomado village, Central Sulawesi. The study was conducted between July to August 2002. Bats were captured using mist nets and a harp trap. This study is testing the hypothesis that bat species are randomly dispersed in multivariate morphological space. In contrast, if they are organized (due to phylogeny, competitive interactions, etc), multivariate morphological space will be partitioned regularly. This study is also testing the significant difference of FA levels between species of bat in the community to see the interspecies relationship among them. A total of 128 bat specimens from 16 species were collected. The wing morphology of each specimens were measured using digital caliper. The wing characters measured were the Metacarpal of the first to the fifth digit of the bat, the first and the second Phalanges of the third to the fifth digit of the bat, Forearms, and Tibiae. A total of 13 characters were measured. These characters was analysed using multivariate statistics, Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Principal component analysis indicates that differences in size of the wing (PC-1) contribute 86% of niche partition, whereas wing width membrane differences (PC-2) contribute only about 8% of niche partition. The guild of bat community in Lore Lindu National Park was not distributed randomly in multivariate space. Instead we found that the morphological space is partitioned regularly, probably due to competitive interactions The pattern of fluctuating asymmetry between the two bat species showed no significant differences of FA level between the sexes within The study of ecomorphological attributes on bats in Lore Lindu National Park is still needed to be continued in order to find out the niche partition in the whole area of the park and also to see the level of disturbance in the area.

Sulawesi is the biggest and the most important island in Wallacea. This island has many endemic species including macaques. Seven species of macaques are recognized endemic in Sulawesi. There are Macaca maura, M. tonkeana, M. ochreata, M. brunnescens, M. hecki, M. nigrescens and M. nigra. Compared to the other species of macaques in Sulawesi, M. tonkeana is more secure because its population decline its not as high as the others. But, the increase of human population around macaques habitat and the changing of forest structure and composition are the biggest threat for their lives. Forest destruction and habitat loss also occured in Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi. Forest clearance for cocoa and coffee plantations are the cases which found more in that area. Besides that, exploitation of timber, especially rattan is the most common human activity. Those cases will jeopardize the population of wildlife including M. tonkeana. Although the extinction risk of M. tonkeana is not readily evident at the moment, the increasing human activities in Lore Lindu National Park may present a serious threat to these endemic species. The main objectives in this study were to estimate the population density of M. tonkeana in two different habitats, and to know the characteristics of the habitat in that study area. The study was conducted in Lindu Land, Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi. The two study sites including (1) forest which does not have any land clearance for agriculture but reveices human disturbance such as timber exploitation especially rattan (two transect of 2,5 km and 3 km) and (2) forest which is disturbed by agricultural clearance (two transect of 2,3 km and 3 km). Data collection was carried out from November 2002 to February 2003. To estimate population density of M. tonkeana, replication of forest line transect were walked. These involved slow, quiet walkings, with stop every 100 meter to visually scan the forest and listen for sound. All individuals and groups sigthed were recorded, and measurements of the average visual distance on either side of transect line to provide an estimate of area covered were taken. Vegetation study plots were established to study the composition and structure habitat of M. tonkeana. Twenty seven plots of 20 x 20 m were located in the forest and twenty six in agricultural forest. In each plot, all trees  10 cm diameter-at-breast height (DBH) were identified to species and precisely measured. Sample species were collected and identified at the Herbarium Bogoriense, Bogor. From those data, species and family important value, species diversity and similarity index were calculated. The result indicated that supply of food for M. tonkeana in their habitat had effect on their density. Population density of M. tonkeana in the agricultural forest habitat was higher than in the forest habitat. In forest habitat, the density were 0.97 ± 0.52 groups/km2 and 8.70 ± 7.49 individuals/km2 while agricultural forest had higher estimated population of 1.36 ± 0.31 groups/km2 and 14.09 ± 5.37 individuals/km2. Seven species of figs as keystone source for vertebrates frugivorous were found in agricultural forest with total individuals were twelve. In the forest, five figs were found in total nine individuals. The diversity index for food trees in the agriculture forest habitat (2,4130) was higher than forest habitat (2,0591). Macaques can find more varieties of food in agricultural forest, because there were many agricultural products. The results shows that supply of food and human activities in the habitat of macaques had an influence to the density of macaques. Forest clearance for agricultural made macaques loss their habitat and diversity of foods. Exploitation of timber especially rattan also disturbed the macaques.
