Abstract The global trade in nonhuman primates represents a substantial threat to ecosystem health, human and primate conservation worldwide. Most of the involves for pet-keeping, consumption, or biomedical experimentation. We present an overview international through five case studies; each describes different facet this trade. draw on published scientific literature, media outlets, open access datasets, including CITES Trade Database build these studies. Case study 1 role introduced island...
There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light the ecological evolutionary drivers variation in animal behaviour. Yet, full potential such lies comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one which lack persistent, accessible standardised databases. Big-team approaches building databases offer solution facilitating...
ABSTRACT Synanthropes are known for their remarkable adaptability to coexist with humans, yet increased visibility exposes them significant threats, such as hunting or conflict over resources. Moore et al. 's review ‘The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature’ ( https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12985 ) explores distribution patterns impacts macaques pigs in anthropogenic environments. Our critical evaluation this study revealed several substantial issues: the...
The trade in primates as pets is a global enterprise and access to the Internet has increased, so too of live online. While quantifying primate physical markets relatively straightforward, limited insights have been made into via Internet. Here we followed three-pronged approach estimate prevalence ease purchasing online countries with different socioeconomic characteristics. We first conducted literature review, which found that Malaysia, Thailand, USA, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia stood...
Abstract In 2022, long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ), a once ubiquitous primate species, was elevated to Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Threatened Species. 2023, recognizing that macaque is threatened by multiple factors: (1) declining native habitats across Southeast Asia; (2) overutilization scientific, commercial, and recreational purposes; (3) inadequate regulatory mechanisms; (4) culling due human–macaque conflicts, petition...
Accurately estimating population sizes for free-ranging animals through noninvasive methods, such as camera trap images, remains particularly limited by small datasets. To overcome this, we developed a flexible model upper limit populations and exemplified it studying group-living synanthrope, the long-tailed macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ). Habitat preference maps, based on environmental GPS data, were generated with maximum entropy combined data obtained from traps, line transect distance...
The effect of food provisioning on ranging patterns long-tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ) in non-anthropogenic areas is largely unknown, as most published studies have focused urban macaques. In this study, we quantified habitat selection, daily path length and home range size Baluran National Park, East Java, Indonesia, comparing a non-provisioned to provisioned group. To track the groups, deployed six GPS-collars females both which only two collected data. Home (90% Auto-correlated...
Non-human primates (primates) are regarded as key research subjects for pre-clinical trials of several drugs aimed to alleviate human suffering. It has long been suggested that the predominant species in international trade live use is long-tailed macaque ( Macaca fascicularis) . However, little still known about value this trade. Whilst supply requirement biomedical testing encourage illegal wildlife trade, we lack a detailed understanding overall and magnitude Such information vital...
There is evidence to suggest that the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may hamper our achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here, we use non-human primates as a case study examine impacts COVID-19 on ability achieve biodiversity conservation and management sustainability targets. We collected data through survey members IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group from January March 2022. Of 93 experts responded survey, found 39% had not been able visit any their field sites...
Abstract Knowledge about distribution of primate species and their densities is crucial for conservation management. However, such information often lacking or anecdotal, even seemingly abundant species. Long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ) are distributed across southeast Asia recognized by the International Union Conservation Nature Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group (IUCN SSC PSG) as both widespread rapidly declining. Precise local density abundance data scarce...
Research of many mammal species tends to focus on single habitats, reducing knowledge ecological flexibility. The Javan lutung (Trachypithecus auratus) is considered a strict forest primate, and little known about populations living in savannah. In 2017-2018, we investigated the density distribution Baluran National Park, Indonesia. We conducted ad libitum follows line transect distance sampling with habitat suitability analysis lutung.Estimated was 14.91 individuals km- 2 (95% CI...
