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%...
The northern Myanmar region has been identified as a potential transit and source place for the illegal trade of pangolins their scales. In this study, we surveyed links between Kachin State (northern Myanmar) China India based on interviews, market surveys online seizure data. From our results cannot extrapolate that there is link India. Based from interviews (17 38), found around 140–168 pangolins/year are smuggled into via three different routes to China. Scales most traded parts in part...
Abstract Background Dai, Hani, and Yao people, in the trans-boundary region between China, Laos, Vietnam, have gathered plentiful traditional knowledge about wild edible plants during their long history of understanding using natural resources. The ecologically rich environment multi-ethnic integration provide a valuable foundation driving force for high biodiversity cultural diversity this region. However, little study has uncovered unique attractive culture to world. Methods We conducted...
Abstract The diet and feeding ecology of a wild subpopulation black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) were studied at Xiaochangdu in Honglaxueshan Nature Reserve, Tibet. This region is climatologically harsher than any other inhabited by non‐human primates. Black‐and‐white fed on 48 parts 25 plant species, least three species lichens seven invertebrates. number food items exploited varied markedly among seasons, with dietary diversity being greatest spring summer. In...

The knowledge and attitudes of local communities are essential for understanding the distribution, ecology, pertinent threats to bird species, particularly those existing beyond protected areas. Despite reliance large waterbirds like storks on human-dominated agricultural landscapes, research in this domain is limited across its range. To address gap, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 546 people seven districts lowlands Nepal from 2021 2022 insights into people's knowledge,...
Abstract Large carnivores such as leopards ( Panthera pardus ) experience continuing threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, depletion of prey populations, retaliatory killing following conflicts with humans. We aimed to identify factors affecting leopard occupancy temporal overlap between tigers P. tigris ), their major prey, human activities in the Parsa‐Koshi Complex (PKC), Nepal. deployed 154 cameras for 21 days each along wildlife trails throughout PKC during December 2022–March...
Abstract Interdisciplinary efforts are fundamental for achieving successful conservation translocations. However, behavioral information is usually lacking to guide translocations social animals. This particularly significant the of endangered Asian elephants. Therefore, by tracing long‐term logbook records in southern central part Myanmar, our study highlighted that younger semi‐captive elephants (male ≤21 years old; female ≤42 old) were identified as suitable candidates since they more...
Abstract Aim Forest fragmentation is often accompanied by an increase in hunting intensity. Both factors are known drivers of species extirpations, but understanding their independent effects poor. Our goal was to partition the and on bird extirpations identify traits that make more vulnerable these two stressors. Location Menglun, Yunnan, SW China Methods We studied landscape within 10 km radius Menglun town, where forests have become highly fragmented monoculture rubber plantations....
Transboundary conservation is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining ecosystem integrity and halting biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic activities. However, lack of information on species distributions transboundary regions understanding the threats these areas impairs conservation. We developed a spatial plan for between Yunnan province, southwestern China, neighboring Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam Indo-Burma hotspot. To identify priority restoration, we determined...
Abstract Data on sleeping sites of a group black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus bieti (Colobinae, Primates) were collected between April–July and September–December 2001 to try determine the factors affecting site selection at Nanren (99°04′E, 28°34′N, Baima Snow Mountain, China). Sleeping trees tall emergents (27.5±3.2 m) with large diameter breast height (57.9±16.9 cm) broad crown diameters (6.3±1.4 m), significantly larger than other trees. The use could provide effective...
Spider nursery Mammals produce milk to feed their offspring, and maternal care often continues well after the young can forage for themselves. Though other cases of milk-like secretions have been found, this combination ongoing has largely considered a uniquely mammalian trait. Chen et al. describe an ant-mimicking jumping spider that secretes nutritious substance on which its offspring are entirely dependent. The also spiderlings as they mature become independent. Thus, type may be more...
Abstract Avian mixed-species flocks (MSFs) are an important example of species interactions threatened by the biodiversity crisis. They found throughout world in forested habitats but generally reduced size or frequency human disturbance. In southern China, a unique MSF system is led several closely- related fulvettas (Alcippe morrisonia, A. hueti, and davidi). Our objective was to understand how this distributed across elevational gradients, especially moving west into Hengduan Mountains,...
Abstract The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus bieti (Colobinae), categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, is endemic to Trans-Himalayas (the Hengduan Mountains) of north-west Yunnan and south-east Tibet. To evaluate species’ current status in Tibet we surveyed six sites Honglaxueshan National Nature Reserve, believed be area's only remaining location R. . Sites were identified from previous surveys interviews with villagers local officials. Three sub-populations, a...
Rising global demand for natural rubber is expanding monoculture (Hevea brasilensis) at the expense of forests in Old World tropics. Conversion into plantations has a devastating impact on biodiversity and we have yet to identify management strategies that can mitigate this. We determined life-history traits best predict bird species occurrence SW China investigated effects surrounding forest cover distance roads diversity. Mistletoes provide nectar fruit resources so examined mistletoe...
Cooperation is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom as it aims to maximize benefits through joint action. Selection, however, may also favor competitive behaviors that could violate cooperation. How animals mitigate competition hotly debated, with particular interest primates and little attention paid thus far nonprimates. Using a loose-string pulling apparatus, we explored cooperative behavior, well mitigation of latter, semi-wild Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ). Our results showed first...
