Abstract:

ABSTRACTTrapping and netting of small mammals on a land-bridge island (Leyte) and on an oceanic island (Negros) revealed similar patterns of elevational change in abundance and species richness. Fruit bats (Pteropodidae) reached their greatest local densities in agricultural areas, and were least abundant in montane mossy forest. The fruit bats found to be common in agri-cultural areas are widespread in Southeast Asia: in contrast, species that were most common in forested areas are Philippine endemics. Fruit bat abundance was greater on the oceanic island than on the land-bridge island. Trappable small mammals (families Soricidae and Muridae) showed no change in species richness with increasing elevation, but did show a gradual increase in overall abundance. Even though the oceanic island was depauperate of non-volant mammal species, it had the higher abundance of non-volant mammal individuals; however, this may have been due primarily to differences associated with the elevation of sampling sites. Murid rodents at the higher elevations on Leyte tend to be those that are members of the old endemic group of Philippine murids, and those at lower elevations tend to be members of more recently arrived groups. Most non-volant small mammals at all elevations on the oceanic Negros, and in agri-cultural areas on Leyte, are non-native species.

Abstract:

Our knowledge of the freshwater cyclopid copepods of the Visayas Islands remains poor as compared to other terrestrial and aquatic fauna. This study focuses on two genera, Mesocyclops and Thermocyclops, which are common components of lake plankton communities. This study included specimens collected from 59 sampling sites found in major islands (Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Samar) and a small island (Pacijan) in the Visayas region. Four species of Mesocyclops and three species of Thermocyclops were identified. This includes the first record of Mesocyclops woutersi in the Philippines, which was so far unknown from insular SE Asia. The endemic Mesocyclops microlasius, previously reported from Luzon Island, was also found in Lake Danao (Pacijan Island). An identification key to Philippine species of Mesocyclops and Thermocyclops is herein provided. Geographic distribution and possible causes of the low number of species observed and their implications for further faunal studies are also discussed.

Abstract. Three weeks after the deadly Bohol earthquake of Mw 7.2, which claimed at least 222 victims, another disaster struck the Philippines. This time, Super Typhoon Haiyan, also known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, devastated the Eastern Visayas islands on 8 November 2013. Its classification as a super typhoon was based on its maximum sustained 1 min surface wind speed of 315 km h−1, which is equivalent to a strong Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale. This was one of the deadliest typhoon events in the Philippines' history, after the 1897 and 1912 tropical cyclones. At least 6268 individuals have been reported dead and 1061 people are missing. In addition, a wide area of destruction was observed in the Eastern Visayas, on Samar and Leyte islands. The International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS) at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, has deployed several teams for damage recognition, relief support and collaboration with regard to this disaster event. One of the teams, the hazard and damage evaluation team, visited the affected areas in the Eastern Visayas in mid-January 2014. In this paper, we summarize the rapid damage assessment from satellite imagery conducted days after the event and report on the inundation measurements and the damage surveyed in the field. Damage interpretation results by satellite images were qualitatively confirmed for the Tacloban city area on Leyte Island, the most populated city in the Eastern Visayas. During the survey, significant damage was observed from wind and storm surges on poorly designed housing on the east coast of Leyte Island. Damage, mainly from surface waves and winds, was observed on the east coast of Samar Island.

Abstract:

Abstract Natural background radiation to which humans are continuously exposed to come from the primordial radionuclides on the surface of the Earth. Industrial activities which concentrate natural radionuclides usually in residues and waste materials may enhance natural radioactivity on the ground via airborne contamination. In this study, ambient gamma dose rates were measured inside and outside two industrial facilities in Leyte, Philippines, to assess possible contribution of NORM materials in enhancement of natural radiation background in these areas. Ambient gamma dose rates measured at selected sites from Tacloban City to Isabel, Leyte and in nearby areas of Kananga and Ormoc City, Leyte were within the range of the background ambient gamma dose rates measured in the Philippines, ranging from 21 to 124 nSv/h. The workers in the phosphate rock storage and phosphogypsum pond areas in the phosphate fertiliser production plant received the highest annual effective external dose of 0.76 mSv.

Abstract:

The taxonomy of the Sundathelphusa philippina (von Martens, 1868) species group (Brachyura; Gecarcinucidae) from the Philippines is revised, and two new species are described. Sundathelphusa philippina sensu stricto is here restricted to the Bicol Peninsula of southern Luzon, and to the islands of Samar and Leyte. It is one of the largest freshwater crabs in the archipelago, reaching carapace widths of more than 53 mm. Sundathelphusa cebu sp. nov. from Cebu Island is superficially similar to S. philippina in morphology but can be separated by a suite of carapace characters. Sundathelphusa quirino sp. nov. from northern Luzon is the most distinct of the three taxa, with a distinctly more swollen carapace, relatively wider male pleon and a straighter male first gonopod. Sundathelphusa spelaeophila Stasolla, Abbarchi & Innocenti, 2015, is also shown to be a junior synonym of S. philippina sensu stricto.

Abstract:

The systematics of the wide-ranging southeast Asian colubrid snake Dendrelaphis caudolineatus (Gray, 1834) wasinvestigated on the basis of multivariate analyses of morphological and coloration data for 131 museum specimensrepresenting 28 geographically isolated populations. The results demonstrate that the current taxonomy of D.caudolineatus underestimates species diversity in the Philippines. The following revisions are implemented. 1)Populations from the Philippine island Palawan and adjacent islands currently referred to D. c. caudolineatus (Gray, 1834)are described as a new species, D. levitoni sp. nov. 2) Populations from the Philippine islands Negros, Panay, Mindoroand Masbate, currently assigned to D. c. terrificus (Peters, 1872) and D. c. luzonensis Leviton, 1961 are referred to D.fuliginosus Griffin 1909, which is revalidated. 3) Populations from the southern Philippine islands Basilan, Mindanao,Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, Samar, Polillo, Kalotkot, Catanduanes as well as Southeast Luzon currently referred to D. c. terrificus(Peters, 1872) are referred to D. philippinensis Günther, 1879 which is revalidated. 4) The population from Sulawesi isreferred to D. terrificus (Peters, 1872). Currently regarded as a polytypic species composed of five subspecies, D.caudolineatus is here considered to be a monophyletic group comprising eight species. The distributions of these eightspecies correspond largely with aggregate island complexes formed during periods of reduced sea level during the Pleistocene. However, some deviations indicate post-Pleistocene dispersals across sea barriers.

The Philippines Archipelago has been undergoing complex geologic processes such an subduction, collision and major strike-slip faulting since it was formed. Specifically, the Philippines Tectonic Plate subducted under the Eurasian Plate on the eastern part of The Philippines. The plates collided in the Moluccas Sea, in the southern part of the Philippines and major strike-slip faulting took place at the center of the archipelago, the Philippines Fault Zone (PFZ). Situated in the western part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity. The widespread volcanic activity along the active tectonic blocks provides the Philippines with high heat flow that can be used as an alternative source of energy from the geothermal resources. This is in line with the thoughts of the Government of the Philippines who want to add the capacity of the renewable energy resources, especially geothermal energy. As of December 2015, the Philippines processes 1,906 MW installed capacity which sustains the Philippines claim that it is ranked second among the nations in the installation of the world’s geothermal capacity. By 2030 they want to increase the geothermal capacity by approximately 1,371 MW. In Central Philippines, the Leyte Geothermal Field (LGF) in the central highlands of Leyte remains as the leading producer of geothermal energy in the country. It produces a total of around 710 megawatts and provides about 37% of the total installed geothermal capacity in the Philippines. Tongonan Geothermal Field (TGF) is one of the oldest and largest geothermal power plants fields in the Philippines, placed in Leyte Island near the PFZ zone. In order to reach the geothermal capacity target, its need increase the exploration and the exploitation. Not only that we also have to maintain and monitor the power plant which already exists in the Philippines. In this case it is necessary to take a preventive action about the danger of land displacement both subsidence and uplift. After analyzing with PS-InSAR method, we found in the area around TGF experiencing subsidence especially a severe subsidence happened around the production well area with up to 37.5 mm/yr LOS displacement. This subsidence is caused by excessive groundwater extraction which can damage the power plant itself.

We analyze the data from Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSInSAR) and GPS data to understand the kinematic characteristics of the transition from creeping to locked segments of the Philippine strike-slip fault in the Leyte Island. Because the accumulation of seismic moment may be released by fault creep, analysis of fault kinematics also helps us to re-evaluate the earthquake hazard. PSInSAR technique is used for analyzing ERS and ALOS satellite images. According to the characteristics of ascending and descending LOS (line of sight) velocity profiles, the Philippine fault in the Leyte Island can be divided into four segments from north to south: A region (0-40 km), B region (40-60 km), C region (70-100 km) and D region (110-140 km). Regions A and C are proposed to be creeping segments, while regions B and D are locked segments. In region A, the velocity differences across the Philippine fault are about 22.7 mm/yr, 2.5 mm/yr, 7.8 mm/yr in ERS descending, ALOS ascending, and ALOS descending velocity profiles respectively. In region C, the velocity differences across the Philippine fault are about 31.7 mm/yr, 2.3 mm/yr, 3.7 mm/yr in ERS descending, ALOS ascending, and ALOS descending velocity profiles. The distribution of creeping segments of the Philippine fault in northern Leyte derived from PSInSAR is similar to the field surveys in previous studies. However, in the southern part of Leyte, no creeping evidence is shown by InSAR study and field investigations so far. In addition, GPS velocity field indicates that the Philippine fault acts as left-lateral strike-slip faulting. The velocity difference across the fault is about 34 mm/yr, which consistents with the previous GPS measurements, 26 ± 10 mm/yr. We apply the quadtree algorithm for modeling application, the block model will be adopted to invert the PSInSAR and GPS simultaneously for the fault geometry parameters and slip distribution of the Leyte segment of the Philippine fault. From the modeling results, we will infer the earthquake potential to prevent from the disasters.

Abstract:

MacArthur finally returned to the Philippines in October 1944, accompanied by fifty-eight correspondents—the largest number to join a Pacific invasion at that stage of the war. Initially, the campaign to retake the island of Luzon did not go well, but a combination of MacArthur’s optimistic communiqués and a major naval victory in the Battle of Leyte Gulf ensured that his return contributed to Roosevelt’s reelection victory a month later. After the invasion of Leyte in January 1945 led first to the liberation of the camps containing Bataan death march survivors and then to the bloody slaughter during the battle for Manila, the home front’s animosity toward Japan hardened.
