Despite being heavily exploited, pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) have been subject to limited research, resulting in a lack of reliable population estimates and standardised survey methods for the eight extant species. Camera trapping represents unique opportunity broad-scale collaborative species monitoring due its largely non-discriminatory nature, which creates considerable volumes data on relatively wide range This has potential shed light ecology rare, cryptic understudied taxa, with...
Edge effects cause changes in bird community richness, abundance, and/or distribution within a landscape, but the avian guilds most influenced can vary among regions. Although Southeast Asia has highest rates of deforestation and projected species loss, is currently undergoing an explosive growth road infrastructure, there have been few studies forest edges on communities this region. We examined structure dry evergreen northeastern Thailand adjacent to five-lane highway. evaluated richness...
Avitourism has multiple conservation and economic benefits but can pose potential harm to some bird populations. To mitigate the impacts of avitourism on birds, researchers use flight initiation distance (FID) quantify tolerance animals perceived threats, thereby informing management. This study focused whether clothing colour used by avitourists (orange, camouflage, black) affected FIDs White-rumped Shama Copsychus malabaricus (n = 123) in a protected area northeastern Thailand. Camouflage...
Abstract Nest predation is typically the main cause of nest failure in forest understory birds; thus, identification primary predators key to understanding patterns. Furthermore, responses are likely affected by vegetation structure, but predator micro-scale habitat characteristics largely unknown, especially tropical forests. We used a long-term study with one largest datasets its kind investigate extent which micro-habitat structure (5-m radius surrounding nest) can predict likelihood and...
Creation of roadside forest edges can have indirect effects on bird communities, as promote species detrimental to forest-nesting birds such nest predators. We assessed species-specific rates survival understory birds, relative abundances specific predators and predator-specific predation the distance from edge in a dry evergreen northeastern Thailand. During breeding seasons (February–August) 2014–2016 we searched for nests along two, 1-km transects which ran perpendicular five-lane highway...
Abstract: Bulbul species (family Pycnonotidae) are important seed dispersers in Asian forests, but almost nothing is known of their movement patterns inside intact forest, which likely to impact forest dynamics. We examined the forest-dwelling puff-throated bulbul ( Alophoixus pallidus ) relation fruit productivity and distribution fruiting trees/lianas an evergreen north-eastern Thailand. Movement 10 groups were precisely mapped by following colour-ringed individuals each group 4 h mo −1...
Abstract Movement patterns of animals can vary dramatically as a function their reproductive cycle or social structure; however, little is known about how changes in the structure dispersers affect seed dispersal. We examined movement forest‐dwelling and cooperatively breeding Puff‐throated Bulbul ( Alophoixus pallidus ) relation to different stages cycle, time day, group size, determine potential impacts on shape scale dispersal curves generated using combination gut passage displacement...
Predator-prey interactions are fundamental drivers of population dynamics. Studying both predator and prey species simultaneously yields particularly useful insights into these complex interactions. Despite being significant, widespread avian nest predators, Southeast Asian snakes rarely studied in relation to prey. The Green Cat Snake Boiga cyanea is a primary predator, estimated be responsible for 17–33% forest songbird depredations Northeast Thailand. We explored diurnal nocturnal...
Hornbills are particularly important seed dispersers in tropical Asian forests, but most of the species region declining. In addition, long-term data on extent declines and how forest degradation impacts hornbills remain mostly unquantified. Here, we used multi-covariate distance sampling to estimate densities 2021-2022 Hala-Bala Wildlife Sanctuary Budo Su-Ngai Padi National Park protected areas southern Thailand. These two sites useful because Bala was surveyed 20 years prior (2001-2002)....
ABSTRACT Predator-prey interactions are fundamental drivers of population dynamics, yet rarely both predator and prey species simultaneously studied. Despite being significant, widespread avian nest predators, research on the ecology Southeast Asian snakes in relation to birds remains scarce. The green cat snake ( Boiga cyanea ) is a primary predator, responsible for ≈24% forest songbird depredation Northeast Thailand. We explored diurnal nocturnal movements 14 (5 male, 9 female) adult B....
Abstract Available habitat and hence the global population of Endangered giant nuthatch Sitta magna , restricted to lower montane habitats south-western China, eastern Myanmar northern Thailand, remains poorly quantified. Thailand is only portion species’ range for which there a estimate. To obtain more precise estimate Thai clarify extent characteristics suitable remaining, we conducted 335 point-count surveys at 67 points across eight localities during November 2019–February 2020. We...
Droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe as the climate changes. Tropical songbirds likely reduce reproductive output during extreme droughts such El Niño events in Southeast Asia a tradeoff for reducing mortality risks. However, timing of these rainfall responses extent costs largely unknown this region. Here we quantified how amount frequency impacted nest initiation (first egg dates), may impact duration nesting given season (last fledging date). We tested hypotheses on...
