Protected areas are often promoted as an important solution to preserving biodiversity. However, permeable edges can undermine the effectiveness of preserves because animals may move into adjacent human-dominated unprotected areas. We investigated attitudes toward, and sources mortality of, a far-ranging apex predator, king cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah; Cantor 1836), in biosphere reserve northeastern Thailand. Our questionnaire revealed marked fear snakes hostility toward cobras. Using...
Abstract Traditional surveys for small mammals and herpetofauna require intensive field effort because these taxa are often difficult to detect. Dynamic environmental conditions dense vegetative cover, both of which attributes biodiverse wet meadow ecosystems, further hamper surveys. Camera traps may be a solution, but commonly used passive infrared game cameras face difficulties photographing mammals. The adapted-Hunt drift fence technique (AHDriFT) is camera trap system designed overcome...
Space-use and demographic processes are critical to the persistence of populations across space time. Despite their importance, estimates these often derived from a limited number spanning broad habitat or environmental gradients. With increasing appreciation role fine-scale variation in microgeographic adaptation, there is need value assessing within-site space-use patterns. In this study, we analyze 3 years spatial capture-recapture data on Eastern Red-backed Salamander collected mixed-use...
Although Ahaetulla prasina is typically a cryptic green color, they have also been observed in brown, grey and orange-yellow morphs. We recorded observations of the A. color morphs found population within Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve (SBR), northeastern Thailand, between 2013 2017. did not detect any or brown morphs, showing that this dimorphic (54%) (46%) adults. discern geographic separation population, sex determine color. four juveniles, all with brownish-grey bodies yellow on their...
Movement and demographic rates are critical to the persistence of populations in space time. Despite their importance, estimates these processes often derived from a limited number spanning broad habitat or environmental gradients. With increasing appreciation role fine-scale variation microgeographic adaptation, there is need value assessing within-site movement, growth, rates. In this study, we analyze three years spatial capture-recapture data collected mixed-use deciduous forest site...
