Abstract The approach of combining cost‐effective nanopore sequencing and emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding could prove to be a promising tool for biodiversity documentation, especially in Malaysia. Given the substantial funding constraints recent years, relation country's biodiversity, many researchers have been limited conduct restricted research without extended monitoring periods, potentially hindering comprehensive surveys compromise conservation efforts. Therefore,...
Abstract Ethnoprimatology, the study of human-primate interactions, is an interdisciplinary field that examines relationships between human societies and non-human primates in shared environments. The Che Wong tribe, a sub-group Senoi Orang Asli (Indigenous People), resides Tengku Hassanal Wildlife Reserve (WR), where they share their habitat with various primate species. Despite this coexistence for long time, there limited documentation on how these are utilized within community. This aims...
Human–elephant conflict (HEC) contributes to the increasing death of Asian elephants due road accidents, retaliatory killings and fatal infections from being trapped in snares. Understanding diet throughout Peninsular Malaysia remains crucial improve their habitat quality reduce scenarios HEC. DNA metabarcoding allows investigating animals without direct observation, especially risky areas. The aim this study was determine: i) wild HEC areas using ii) influence distinct environmental...
The world's largest terrestrial mammal, Asian elephants, are known to have enormous feeding needs. Several factors such as season, sex, age, and daily activities influence the amount of food required by an individual. Generally, captive elephants a limited choice on basis compared with that in wild. Elephants captivity fed according prepared schedule, whereas wild free choose type plants they consume their natural habitat. In past, ecological observations been widely used determine diet...
Amphibians, a diverse and ecologically important group, are facing global declines due to various factors, including habitat loss climate change. Accurate species identification is crucial for effective conservation efforts, DNA barcoding has emerged as powerful tool in this regard. This study compares the efficacy of two primer sets, targeting 16S ribosomal RNA gene Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene, identifying 20 amphibian species. While both sets successfully amplified sequences, rRNA...
Abstract The banded langur (Presbytis femoralis) is a critically endangered primate, which within Malaysia has not been known to extend significantly outside the state of Johor. Traditionally, distribution studies on this highly threatened primate have relied conventional methods such as DNA identification, live counting, and camera trapping. However, ethnoprimatology offers an alternative approach data collection, involving active participation indigenous local communities possessing...
Malaysia is blessed with lush tropical rainforests that harbour an exceptional diversity of amphibians and reptiles. However, compared to other animal groups, reptiles have received limited attention in research, despite their ecological significance. With reptile species having been declining rapidly due anthropogenic activities, there a pressing need conserve these habitats. Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are designated regions beneficial critical role providing essential ecosystem...
The Asian region is globally renowned for its unparalleled biodiversity, rich ecosystems, and unique cultural heritage. However, the delicate equilibrium between human societies diverse flora fauna faces increasing challenges due to region's biodiversity escalating utilization of wildlife resources. Hence, this paper aims document endangered across countries report existing conservation measures recommendations sustainable management over years. We employed prominent academic databases,...
Recently, citizen scientists have gained recognition for engaging the public in collaboration with professional scientific actions. Citizen act as an important force contributing to Community, Education, and Public Awareness (CEPA) initiatives promoting sustainable development. Thus, study's objectives are conduct a systematic review addressing challenges of working environmental conservation research address way forward fellow scientists. We conducted literature using SCOPUS database...
Gut microbiome studies have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential unveiling the role of microbial communities animals’ health and ecological processes. However, lack standardized protocols sample handling processing across introduces variability, impeding comparability findings. This study addresses this issue by examining methodological variations gut research on wildlife domesticated animals Southeast Asia. A comprehensive search 91 relevant SCOPUS database...
The gut morphology of Symphalangus syndactylus exhibits an intermediate structure that aligns with its consumption fruit and ability to supplement diet leaves. Siamang relies on microbiome for energy extraction, immune system development, the synthesis micronutrients. Gut composition may be structured based several factors such as age, sex, habitat. No study has yet been carried out microbiota Hylobatidae members in Malaysia especially S. syndactylus.
Abstract Malaysia, a culturally diverse nation, encompasses various ethnicities, including the Orang Asli, region’s aboriginal people. Among Asli tribes in Peninsular Senoi constitute largest demographic, followed by Proto-Malay and Negrito groups, each comprising six distinct subtribes. Traditional methods, such as surveys interviews, have been instrumental understanding wildlife consumption practices among indigenous communities like Senoi. However, they may not always provide accurate...
ABSTRACT The declining population of otter species in Malaysia, including the Asian small‐clawed ( Aonyx cinereus ), smooth‐coated Lutrogale perspicillata ) and hairy‐nosed Lutra sumatrana is primarily attributed to habitat changes. Understanding ecological aspects otters, their diets, crucial for formulating effective conservation management strategies. To address this knowledge gap, we employed Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) as an alternative approach enhance our understanding species'...
Ethnoichthyology, as a field of study, examines the indigenous knowledge held by ethnic groups concerning different fish species. Despite its significance in understanding traditional fishing practices and cultural connections to aquatic resources, data on species consumption among Orang Asli Semelai community remain limited. Therefore, this ethnoichthyological preliminary study aims address research gap documenting utilized Tasek Bera region Pahang, Malaysia. To achieve objective,...
PrimaTourismis a well-known aspect of nature tourism that provides valuable benefits for the primate species conservation. Malaysia, with its rich diversity more than 25 inhabited in country, holds significant potential enhancing primate-based tourism. However, information on spots like Tasik Chini remains limited, only few data their behaviour and ecology. Additionally, lack comprehensive poses challenges identifying PrimaTourismproduct. Thus, this study aimed to assess explore perception...
