The Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus) is an endangered subspecies of brown bear (U. a. spp.) and is found throughout the Himalayan region of south and central Asia. We describe the type of and the current level of human–bear conflict (HBC) with Himalayan brown bears in the Zanskar region of northern India and suggest potential mitigation methods. Between July and September 2018, we interviewed 218 households across the Zanskar region, all of whom had experienced HBC. Participants reported increasing numbers of HBC events in the last 4 years. The most common form of HBC was damage to granaries where food is stored (50%). As a result of HBC, most participants said they feared bears (95%) and did not like them (73%). However, 95% of participants thought that the Himalayan brown bear should be conserved. We conclude that local people are receptive to bear conservation, but the current measures are insufficient to protect property and livestock. We encourage community involvement in bear monitoring as well as installation of bear-resistant food containers, solar lights, and electric fences to reduce incidences of HBC and foster tolerance of bears in Zanskar, India.
喜马拉雅棕熊(Ursus arctos isabellinus)是一种濒临灭绝的棕熊亚种,分布在南亚和中亚的喜马拉雅地区。我们描述了印度北部Zanskar地区与喜马拉雅棕熊的人熊冲突(HBC)的类型和当前水平,并提出了潜在的缓解方法。在2018年7月至9月期间,我们采访了赞斯卡尔地区的218个家庭,他们都经历过HBC。在过去4年中,参与者报告了越来越多的HBC事件。最常见的HBC形式是对储存食物的粮仓的破坏(50%)。由于HBC,大多数参与者说他们害怕熊(95%),不喜欢熊(73%)。然而,95%的参与者认为应该保护喜马拉雅棕熊。我们的结论是,当地居民对熊的保护是接受的,但目前的措施不足以保护财产和牲畜。在印度赞斯卡尔,我们鼓励社区参与熊监测,并安装防熊食品容器、太阳能灯和电围栏,以减少HBC的发病率,培养对熊的容忍。

Trapping of terrestrial animals is an important tool for harvest, pest control and research worldwide. To catch animals alive, animal welfare has to be ensured, which is reflected in different agreements on trading and trapping of animals between sovereign nations (Council Regulation [EEC] No 3254/91). The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and stone marten (Martes foina) represent important predatory animals. Their influence on protected species as well as their increasing appearance in urban areas demand responsible handling. In our study, we evaluated 2 trap systems used for trapping red foxes and stone martens in accordance with criteria stipulated in the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS) and International Organisation for Standardisation 10990 Part 5 – Methods for Testing Restraining Traps (ISO 10990). In total, we captured 20 red foxes in a concrete pipe vault trap and 13 stone martens in a Strack’s wooden box trap in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and observed their behavior inside each trap. After anesthesia, a clinical examination of each animal was conducted, and blood and hair samples were taken. After euthanasia, radiological examinations of the full body were taken, and necropsies and histopathological investigations were performed. No trap-associated lesions were found. Hormone analysis showed no remarkable signs of stress for the animals, according to state-of-the-art methods. Apart from serum cortisol, the quotient of dehydroepiandrosterone in serum and hair seems to be the most predictive value on stress response of the 2 different species. Video observation of the trapped animals emerged as a valuable tool to estimate animal welfare by behavior. This study complements AIHTS and ISO 10990 criteria with results on behavior and hormone analysis, being an additional benefit when evaluating animal welfare of each trapping system.
诱捕陆生动物是全世界收获、虫害防治和研究的重要工具。为了活捉动物,必须确保动物福利,这体现在主权国家之间关于动物贸易和诱捕的不同协议中(理事会条例[欧共体]No 3254/91)。红狐(Vulpes Vulpes)和石貂(Martes foina)是重要的掠食性动物。它们对受保护物种的影响,以及它们在城市地区日益增多的出现,都需要负责任的处理。在我们的研究中,我们根据国际人道诱捕标准协议(AIHTS)和国际标准化组织10990第5部分-限制陷阱测试方法(ISO 10990)规定的标准评估了两种用于诱捕红狐和石貂的陷阱系统。在德国石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因,我们用混凝土管顶陷阱捕获了20只红狐,用斯特拉克的木箱陷阱捕获了13只石貂,并观察了它们在每个陷阱中的行为。麻醉后,对每只动物进行临床检查,并采集血液和毛发样本。安乐死后,对全身进行放射学检查,并进行尸检和组织病理学检查。未发现陷阱相关病变。根据最先进的方法,激素分析显示动物没有明显的压力迹象。除血清皮质醇外,血清和毛发中的脱氢表雄酮商似乎是两种不同物种应激反应的最具预测性的值。对被困动物的视频观察成为通过行为来评估动物福利的一种有价值的工具。这项研究补充了AIHTS和ISO 10990标准的行为和激素分析结果,在评估每个诱捕系统的动物福利时是一个额外的好处。

Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is now an important species of wild ungulates in Central Europe. Next to conflicts of wild boar with agriculture, the main threat of wild boar presence lies in the expansion of African swine fever across Europe. The regulation of the wild boar population is complicated by the high reproduction rate and intelligent behavior of the species, which limits hunting effectiveness. We analyzed the spatial behavior of wild boar in an environment with a lack of natural food resources. The study area consisted of a forest complex (1,283 ha) with 2 areas. In the “risk” area, wild boar were intensively hunted, and in the “refuge” area, the hunting pressure was much lower. The distribution of wild boar was not regular within the study area. The wild boar density was higher in the refuge area than in the risk area. Even in times of food shortage, wild boar avoided the area where obtaining quality food was associated with a high risk of being killed. The conclusion applies to the winter season and an environment where the wild boar can become sufficiently fattened in the crop fields in the summer. For effective control of wild boar populations, it is therefore essential to organize the coordination of hunting pressure evenly in large areas.
野猪(Sus scrofa)现在是中欧重要的野生有蹄类动物。除了野猪与农业的冲突之外,野猪存在的主要威胁在于非洲猪瘟在欧洲的蔓延。野猪的高繁殖率和聪明的行为限制了狩猎的有效性,这使得对野猪种群的调节变得复杂。本文分析了野猪在缺乏天然食物资源环境下的空间行为。研究区由一个森林复合体(1283公顷)组成,分为2个区域。在“风险”区,野猪被密集狩猎,而在“避难”区,狩猎压力要小得多。野猪在研究区内分布不规律。保护区野猪密度明显高于危险区。即使在食物短缺的时候,野猪也会避开那些获得高质量食物的地区,因为那里有被杀死的高风险。这一结论适用于冬季和夏季在庄稼地里可以使野猪充分增肥的环境。因此,要有效控制野猪种群数量,必须在大范围内组织均匀的狩猎压力协调。

Human–snake conflict results in negative outcomes for people and snakes, and if left unmanaged, could undermine conservation efforts. One approach to managing conflict between people and snakes is to use signage to inform members of the public on the presence of venomous snakes and measures to prevent snakebites. To be an effective tool, however, signs must first be noticed, then read and understood by the target audience. As part of conservation efforts targeting eastern massasauga rattlesnakes (Sistrurus catenatus) in southwestern Ontario, Canada, we tested the effectiveness of signage at increasing awareness of its presence, status and threats, and snakebite prevention. We installed 6 informational signs at trailheads in a park occupied by massasaugas and conducted a random questionnaire survey of visitors during a 3-week period before (n = 51) and after (n = 54) sign installation. Awareness of the presence of massasauga habitat increased significantly after sign installation, whereas awareness of status, threats, and snakebite prevention methods did not change. Our results suggest that informational signs were effective, to some degree, at shortterm information sharing with recreationists in the context of venomous snake conservation. This cost-effective approach warrants consideration as part of an overall strategy to mitigate human–snake conflict.
人蛇冲突会给人和蛇带来负面影响,如果不加以管理,可能会破坏保护工作。管理人蛇冲突的一种方法是使用指示牌告知公众毒蛇的存在以及防止蛇咬伤的措施。然而,要想成为一种有效的工具,标识首先必须被注意到,然后才能被目标受众阅读和理解。作为加拿大安大略省西南部东部马萨索加响尾蛇(Sistrurus catenatus)保护工作的一部分,我们测试了标牌在提高人们对其存在、状态和威胁的认识以及预防蛇咬伤方面的有效性。我们在一个马萨索加人占据的公园的小径入口处安装了6个信息标志,并在安装标志之前(n = 51)和之后(n = 54)的3周时间内对游客进行了随机问卷调查。在安装标志后,人们对马萨索加栖息地存在的认识显著增加,而对状态、威胁和预防蛇咬伤方法的认识没有改变。我们的研究结果表明,信息标志在某种程度上是有效的,在毒蛇保护的背景下,在短期内与游憩者分享信息。这种具有成本效益的方法值得作为减轻人蛇冲突总体战略的一部分加以考虑。

Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) cause extensive crop loss, infrastructure damage, and are vectors for zoonotic diseases. Due to reduced efficacy, environmental and animal welfare concerns related to traditional pest management tools, such as rodenticides, it is imperative to find new methods for controlling commensal rodents. Fertility control is emerging as a safe, humane, and effective method of long-term population management. Vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) and triptolide are 2 compounds that are known to target and inhibit ovarian function. Furthermore, triptolide debilitates spermatogenesis and sperm motility. We prepared liquid bait containing no active ingredients (control) or containing VCD (0.098%) and triptolide (0.0012%, treatment) and offered ad libitum for 56 days to male and female Norway rats placed in open, indoor arenas and allowed to breed for 4 rounds (a total of 138 days). The first 3 breeding rounds of treatment-matched matings produced fewer pups in the treatment rats compared to control rats (P < 0.001). In the fourth breeding round, control rats were cross-bred with treatment rats. There were no differences in pup numbers between these cross-breeding groups, but the litter sizes in both groups were smaller than those seen in the control female/control male matings. In addition to reduced pup numbers, treatment males and females exhibited decreased reproductive organ weights without any effect on adrenal, kidney, spleen, and liver weights compared to control rats. Use of a liquid contraceptive bait containing VCD and triptolide may be a suitable alternative to the traditional pest management tools used to control wild rat pest populations.
挪威鼠(褐家鼠)造成广泛的作物损失、基础设施破坏,并且是人畜共患疾病的媒介。由于传统的灭鼠剂等有害生物管理工具的有效性降低、环境和动物福利问题,寻找新的方法来控制共生啮齿动物势在必行。生育控制是一种安全、人道、有效的长期人口管理方法。乙烯基环己烯二氧化物(VCD)和雷公藤甲素是已知的两种靶向和抑制卵巢功能的化合物。此外,雷公藤甲素削弱精子发生和精子活力。配制不含有效成分(对照)或含VCD(0.098%)和雷公藤甲素(0.0012%,处理)的液体饵料,将雄性和雌性挪威大鼠置于室内露天场地,随意饲喂56 d,饲养4轮(共138 d)。与对照组大鼠相比,治疗组大鼠在前3轮交配中产生的幼崽较少(P < 0.001)。在第四轮繁殖中,对照大鼠与治疗大鼠杂交。这些杂交组之间的幼崽数量没有差异,但两组的产仔数都比对照雌/对照雄交配组的产仔数要小。除幼崽数量减少外,与对照大鼠相比,处理过的雄性和雌性的生殖器官重量均有所减少,但对肾上腺、肾脏、脾脏和肝脏的重量没有影响。使用含有VCD和雷公藤甲素的液体避孕诱饵可能是用于控制野生鼠害种群的传统有害生物管理工具的合适替代方法。

Using environmental DNA to detect estuarine crocodiles, a cryptic-ambush predator of humans 利用环境DNA来探测河口鳄鱼,一种隐蔽的伏击人类的捕食者

Negative human–wildlife interactions can be better managed by early detection of the wildlife species involved. However, many animals that pose a threat to humans are highly cryptic, and detecting their presence before the interaction occurs can be challenging. We describe a method whereby the presence of the estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), a cryptic and potentially dangerous predator of humans, was detected using traces of DNA shed into the water, known as environmental DNA (eDNA). The estuarine crocodile is present in waterways throughout southeast Asia and Oceania and has been responsible for >1,000 attacks upon humans in the past decade. A critical factor in the crocodile’s capability to attack humans is their ability to remain hidden in turbid waters for extended periods, ambushing humans that enter the water or undertake activities around the waterline. In northern Australia, we sampled water from aquariums where crocodiles were present or absent, and we were able to discriminate the presence of estuarine crocodile from the freshwater crocodile (C. johnstoni), a closely related sympatric species that does not pose a threat to humans. Further, we could detect the presence of estuarine crocodiles within an hour of its entry and up to 72 hours after the crocodiles were removed from aquariums. We conclude that eDNA could be a valuable tool for reducing human–wildlife conflict through early detection of the species.
通过早期发现涉及的野生动物物种,可以更好地管理人类与野生动物的负面互动。然而,许多对人类构成威胁的动物都是高度神秘的,在相互作用发生之前发现它们的存在可能是一项挑战。我们描述了一种方法,通过使用流入水中的DNA痕迹(称为环境DNA (eDNA))来检测河口鳄鱼(Crocodylus porosus)的存在,这是一种潜在的危险的人类捕食者。河口鳄存在于整个东南亚和大洋洲的水道中,在过去的十年里,它们对人类造成了1000多次袭击。鳄鱼攻击人类的能力的一个关键因素是它们能够长时间隐藏在浑浊的水中,伏击进入水中或在水线附近活动的人类。在澳大利亚北部,我们从有或没有鳄鱼的水族馆中取样,我们能够区分河口鳄鱼和淡水鳄鱼(C. johnstoni)的存在,这是一种密切相关的同域物种,不会对人类构成威胁。此外,我们可以在鳄鱼进入一小时内以及鳄鱼离开水族馆后72小时内检测到河口鳄鱼的存在。我们的结论是,eDNA可以通过早期发现物种来减少人类与野生动物的冲突。

Campbell","doi":"10.26077/JSVZ-FH36","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26077/JSVZ-FH36","url":null,"abstract":"Negative human–wildlife interactions can be better managed by early detection of the wildlife species involved. However, many animals that pose a threat to humans are highly cryptic, and detecting their presence before the interaction occurs can be challenging. We describe a method whereby the presence of the estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), a cryptic and potentially dangerous predator of humans, was detected using traces of DNA shed into the water, known as environmental DNA (eDNA). The estuarine crocodile is present in waterways throughout southeast Asia and Oceania and has been responsible for >1,000 attacks upon humans in the past decade. A critical factor in the crocodile’s capability to attack humans is their ability to remain hidden in turbid waters for extended periods, ambushing humans that enter the water or undertake activities around the waterline. In northern Australia, we sampled water from aquariums where crocodiles were present or absent, and we were able to discriminate the presence of estuarine crocodile from the freshwater crocodile (C. johnstoni), a closely related sympatric species that does not pose a threat to humans. Further, we could detect the presence of estuarine crocodiles within an hour of its entry and up to 72 hours after the crocodiles were removed from aquariums. We conclude that eDNA could be a valuable tool for reducing human–wildlife conflict through early detection of the species.","PeriodicalId":13095,"journal":{"name":"Human–Wildlife Interactions","volume":"6 1","pages":"11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84096266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wild pigs, an invasive and destructive species, are among the greatest global threat to our ecosystems and native wildlife Costing the US alone $2 5 billion in economic losses, emphasis on control and removal of wild pigs has accelerated over the past decade with research and operational management in the scientific spotlight In 2012, the National Wild Pig Task Force (NWPTF) was formed to unify and engage all constituents affected by wild pigs through the exchange of pertinent information on techniques, tools, and research findings The main product of the NWPTF and the venue for information exchange is the Wild Pig Conference, held every other year in varied locations typically throughout the southeast US
野猪是一种入侵性和破坏性物种,是对我们的生态系统和本地野生动物的最大全球威胁之一,仅美国就造成了25亿美元的经济损失,在过去十年中,随着研究和操作管理成为科学界的焦点,对野猪的控制和清除的重视加快了。国家野猪工作组(NWPTF)的成立是为了通过交换有关技术、工具和研究成果的相关信息来统一和参与所有受野猪影响的成员。NWPTF的主要产品和信息交换的场所是野猪会议,每隔一年在美国东南部的不同地点举行一次
