Abstract Pathogenic viruses are globally distributed and have caused severe diseases or death in wildlife populations, posing enormous threats to wild animals, especially threatened species. The transmission dynamics of pathogenic viral affected by complex factors their interactions, such as climate, virus traits, host life‐history environmental conditions. seroprevalence can reflect the historical exposure hosts may indicate accumulated disease severity populations. We studied with...
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, the third most specious order mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine umbrella effects on ecosystem services and protection other vertebrates seed plants in Yunnan Province, China. identified areas conservation priority for 16 primate species determined endemic terrestrial would be protected through a program targeting conservation. Areas high richness were spatially correlated distribution 601 4010 plants. Primate...
Difficult to study species that inhabit inaccessible terrain, present significant challenges in obtaining accurate ecological, distributional, and conservation information. To address these challenges, we used an effective set of time- cost-efficient methods including interview-based surveys assisted by Google earth 3D maps document the distributional range 32 native animal taxa biodiverse but difficult access Gaoligong Mountains (GLGMS), located on northern Sino-Myanmar Border. Five...
Provisioning can significantly affect the ranging patterns, foraging strategies, and time budget of wild primates. In this study, we document for first time, effects provisioning on activity effort in an Asian colobine. Over 3-years, used instantaneous scanning method at 10-min intervals to collect data a semiprovisioned breeding band (SPB) black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) (42-70 individuals) Xiangguqing (Tacheng), Yunnan, China. We then compared our study with...
Sexual dimorphism exists widely in animals, manifesting different forms, such as body size, color, shape, unique characteristics, behavior, and sound. Of these, mass is the most obvious. Studies of evolutionary ontogenetic development adaptation mechanisms animals’ sexual (SDBM), allow us to understand how environment, social group diet, other external factors have driven selection dimorphism. There are fewer reports Rhinopithecus. This study explores pattern SDBM wild black-and-white...
Abstract The Myanmar snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus strykeri was discovered in 2010 on the western slopes of Gaoligong Mountains Irrawaddy River basin and subsequently same river China, 2011. Based 2 years surveying remote little disturbed forest National Nature Reserve with outline transect sampling infrared camera monitoring, a breeding group comprising > 70 individuals found eastern Salween Basin. Given Critically Endangered status this primate (a total < 950 are estimated to...
Abstract Food availability and climate represent environmental factors that affect species' social behavior, ranging patterns, diet, activity budget. From August 2012 to September 2013, we examined the effects of seasonal changes in food availability, temperature, rainfall on diet behavioral ecology Shortridge's langur ( Trachypithecus shortridgei ) an Endangered primate species inhabiting moist evergreen broadleaf forests Eastern Himalayas. Our field site represents northernmost latitudinal...
Abstract Anthropogenic changes and fragmentation of natural habitats often exert a negative effect on resource availability distribution, the nutritional ecology feeding behavior nonhuman primates. The goals this study are to examine food choice identify profile foods consumed by Critically Endangered black snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus strykeri ). To accomplish our goals, we presented cafeteria‐style trials fresh items collected in home range wild monkeys only two captive R. , compared...
AbstractBackground and Research Aims: The conflicts between nature reserves the local community used to be a severe problem. Fortunately, Chinese government has initiated series of projects for forest protection poverty alleviation since 1998. This study takes Mt. Wuliang National Nature Reserve as an example explore whether these can effectively alleviate contradiction development.Methods: To understand native residents' Social economic status, perceptions protected species, we visited 12...
Light pollution has become one of the top issues in environmental pollution, especially concerning how secondary light such as from traffic reflective materials, influences animal distribution and behavior. In this study, 15 camera traps were set up at sites with or without warning markers (RWM) coniferous forests on Cangshan Mountain located Dali Prefecture, China. The results showed that number independent photographs species RWMs significantly higher than those RWMs. Significant...
Studies on positional behavior and canopy use are essential for understanding how arboreal animals adapt their morphological characteristics behaviors to the challenges of environment. This study explores substrate along with in adult black snub-nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus strykeri, an endemic, critically endangered primate species Gaoligong Mountains, southwest China. Using continuous focal animal sampling, we collected data over a 52-month period found that R. strykeri is highly primarily...
