Eritrosit dan Hemoglobin pada Kelelawar Gua di Kawasan Karst Gombong, Kebumen, Jawa Tengah

Abstract

in twelve caves within the karst of Gombong, Kebumen Regency, Central Java. In each caves where the bats roosting, temperature, also humidity, oxygen percentage in the air, and ammonia content were measured. Three individual samples were caught from every bat roost during the day when the bats were staying in their roosts. Then the amount of erythrocyte was counted by hemocytometer and hemoglobin content was measured using Sahli's method. The data were analyzed using RDA and multiple regressions. It was concluded that humidity, temperature, oxygen and ammonia correlated significantly with erythrocyte and hemoglobin content. The amount of erythrocyte increased by increasing humvel.
