Abstract The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is a central strategy for global biodiversity conservation. While the role PAs in protecting habitat has been highlighted, their effectiveness at mammal communities remains unclear. We analyzed dataset from over 8671 camera traps 23 countries on four continents that detected 321 medium‐ to large‐bodied species. found strong positive correlation between taxonomic diversity and proportion surveyed area covered by scale ( β = 0.39, 95%...
Abstract Invertebrates are the main source of protein for many small-to-medium sized monkeys. Prey vary in size, mobility, degree protective covering, and use forest, i.e. canopy height, whether they exposed or embed themselves substrates. Sex-differentiation foraging patterns is well documented some monkey species recent studies find that color vision phenotype can also affect invertebrate foraging. Since polymorphic sex-linked most New World monkeys - males have dichromatic females either...
Abstract Aim Phylogenetics has an important role in conservation biogeography. However, there are few data on the phylogenetic diversity of African primates. The (PD) a species is measure its taxonomic distinctness and can be estimated by looking at relationships among taxa. Species‐specific metrics PD then used to determine priorities various biogeographical scales. We rank 55 primate according their country level within six regions. also addressed following question: differences rankings...
Abstract Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) range widely recognized as authoritative representations species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area habitat (AOH) maps, areas that have been removed from IUCN ranges to reduce commission errors, but their concordance also remains untested. We tested between occurrences...
We propose that changes in movement behavior may be a proximate mechanism influences the accumulation of animals at habitat edges. tested this idea with combination empirical and simulation experiments resource-free landscape. The movements individual flour beetles, Tribolium confusum , were tracked across paper arena edged invisible tape until beetles crossed edge. Movement (step lengths turn angles) cumulative occupancy analyzed according to distance from found took smaller steps larger...
