ABSTRACT Aim Data on geographical ranges are essential when defining the conservation status of a species, and in evaluating levels human disturbance. Where locality data deficient, presence‐only ecological niche modelling (ENM) can provide insights into species’ potential distribution, aid planning. Presence‐only ENM is especially important for rare, cryptic nocturnal where absence difficult to define. Here we applied carry out an anthropogenic risk assessment set priorities three...
Primates occur in 90 countries, but four—Brazil, Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—harbor 65% world’s primate species (439) 60% these primates are Threatened, Endangered, or Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List Threatened Species 2017-3). Considering their importance for global conservation, we examine anthropogenic pressures each country is facing that place populations at risk. Habitat loss fragmentation main threats to Brazil, Indonesia. However, DRC...
Only seven types of mammals are known to be venomous, including slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.). Despite the evolutionary significance this unique adaptation amongst Nycticebus, structure and function loris venom is only just beginning understood. Here we review what about chemical venom. Research on a handful captive samples from three eight species reveals that protein within resembles disulphide-bridged heterodimeric Fel-d1, more commonly as cat allergen. In comparison N. pygmaeus coucang,...
Illegal and unsustainable trade in wildlife is a major conservation challenge. For Asian primates, economic cultural traditions, increased forest access mean that may have become detrimental for certain species. Slow slender lorises (Nycticebus Loris) are primates particularly prevalent trade, determined until now by focused counts of regional markets. Here, we use international statistics participant-observer approach to assess culturally specific drivers South Southeast Asia, provide...
Few primate species are known to excavate plant sources procure exudates and other foods via active gouging. It is now apparent that slow lorises belong this rare guild of obligate exudativorous primates. We investigate the diet pygmy loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus) in a mixed deciduous forest Seima Protection Forest, Eastern Cambodia, attempted determine importance resource their diet. Feeding behaviors six females seven males were observed using radio-tracking facilitate follows, nine fecal...
More species of nocturnal primates are now recognized than in the past, because many cryptic species. Subtle morphological disparities, such as pelage pattern and color variation, vocal cues, genetics have aided elucidating number diagnosable a genus. The slow lorises (genus N ycticebus ) once included only two species, but recent taxonomic studies resulted description three additional species; further incompletely explored variability characterizes each currently described B ornean loris...
Indonesia has amongst the highest primate species richness, and many are included on country's protected list, partially to prevent over‐exploitation. Nevertheless traders continue sell primates in open wildlife markets especially islands of Java Bali. We surveyed 13 2012–2014 combined our results with previous surveys from 1990–2009 into a 122‐survey dataset 2,424 records 17 species. These data showed that diversity trade decreased over time, shifting rare rainforest‐dwelling traded...
Abstract Among primates, the suborder Haplorhini is considered to have evolved a consolidated monophasic sleep pattern, with diurnal species requiring shorter duration than nocturnal species. Only few primate been systematically studied in their natural habitat where environmental variables, including temperature and light, major influence on activity patterns. Here we report first study performed wild. We fitted seven wild Javan slow lorises ( Nycticebus javanicus ) West Java, Indonesia...
A growing global human population, habitat conversion, and the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources have created unsustainable demands on nature, resulting in widespread biodiversity loss. Primates, which represent third most specious Order mammals, are facing an extinction crisis. Currently, 69% primate species listed by IUCN as threatened (Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered) 94% declining populations. Here, we examine two primary threats to population persistence,...
Aligning crop production with conservation initiatives has long been a topic of debate, agricultural intensification threatening biodiversity across the globe. Shade-grown coffee allows farmers to preserve by providing viable habitat, but its value remains unclear. In this meta-analysis, we screened existing literature using PRISMA protocol compare effect three shade intensities on species diversity and individual abundance: sun, low (LS) high (HS). Furthermore, examine differences between...
Abstract Indonesia has committed to implement the sustainable development goals (SDG) by 2030 including ending trafficking of protected species and addressing illegal wildlife demand supply. As such, there is a need for long‐term data on wild animal trade its contribution wider economy. We initiated monitoring programme live civet in markets (120 surveys, 2010–2023). Civets are traded be kept as exotic pets produce coffee proxy other high‐profile wildlife. recorded 2289 civets six species,...
Abstract We explore the impact of teaching methods and learning styles on student engagement in a conservation education program focused primate Indonesia. Engaging students is essential for fostering environmental literacy encouraging pro-environmental behaviours. assessed effectiveness active versus didactic visual, auditory, kinaesthetic enhancing engagement. Using formative assessment approach, we observed participation attentiveness across 19 different activities Nature Club program....

Since the 1950s, Sundaland (Borneo, Java, Sumatra and their surrounding islands) was thought to be inhabited by a single slow loris species, greater Nycticebus coucang . Early taxonomies as well recent morphological genetic studies, however, point at least three species native this region: N. coucang, menagensis, javanicus In light of taxonomy, all lorises, previously considered Least Threatened, have been listed Vulnerable or Endangered. Of particular concern is fact that lorises are most...
The effect of moonlight and temperature on activity slow lorises was previously little known this knowledge might be useful for understanding many aspects their behavioural ecology, developing strategies to monitor protect populations. In study we aimed determine if the pygmy loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus) is affected by ambient and/or in a mixed deciduous forest. We radio-collared five females males Seima Protection Forest, Cambodia, February May, 2008 January March, 2009 recorded behaviour at...
To describe the strategy employed by exudativorous primates during seasonal shifts in food abundance using Javan slow loris as a model. Males and females may cope differently well exploit fallback foods different proportions.Observing 15 free ranging lorises over year, we quantified their diet nutrient intake rates. For gum rates, conducted trial with 10 captive measuring length of time it took for them to ingest g gum. We monitored phenology our field site five plots that were assessed...
Abstract The pygmy slow loris Nycticebus pygmaeus is a little-studied primate endemic to Vietnam, Laos, southern China and eastern Cambodia. Our study aimed gain local knowledge on the distribution ecology of, threats to, species by interviewing hunters, traders wildlife protection staff, verify this information using spotlighting survey in three major reserves Mondulkiri Province, Encounter rates of were assessed along 29 transects (129.5 km), yielding observations 26 individuals.
