A study aimed at assessing the structure of rodent and shrew assemblages inhabiting a degradation gradient while considering rainfall patterns, was conducted in one of few remaining lowland tropical forests in eastern Africa. We collected a unique dataset of rodents and shrews, representing 24 species (19 rodents, 5 shrews). The most abundant species alternated in dominance as species abundance significantly fluctuated across the study period following a degradation gradient. While only generalist species were observed near the degraded forest edge, habitat specialists such as Deomys ferrugineus, Malacomys longipes and Scutisorex congicus , were observed in the primary forest interior suggesting a significant association between species and their associated habitats and habitat attributes. There was also an observed correlation between rainfall patterns and species abundance. Capturing more species in adjacent fallows and along the degraded forest edge suggests that many species are able to live in degraded habitats that offer a variety of food resources. The study has highlighted the importance of habitat heterogeneity through species associations and also recommend an assessment of the effect of habitat homogeneity due to the proliferation of paper mulberry on small mammal community.
一项旨在评估居住在退化梯度的啮齿动物和鼩鼱群落结构的研究,同时考虑到降雨模式,在非洲东部为数不多的热带低地森林之一进行。我们收集了一个独特的啮齿动物和鼩鼱数据集,包括24个物种(19只啮齿动物,5只鼩鼱)。在整个研究期间,物种丰度随退化梯度显著波动,最丰富的物种在优势地位上交替变化。在退化林边缘只发现了通才物种,而在原始林内部则发现了一些栖息地专才物种,如铁爪螨(Deomys ferrugineus)、长爪螨(Malacomys longipes)和短爪螨(Scutisorex conicus),这表明物种与其相关栖息地和栖息地属性之间存在着显著的关联。在降雨模式和物种丰度之间也有观察到的相关性。在邻近的休耕地和退化的森林边缘捕获更多的物种表明,许多物种能够生活在退化的栖息地,提供各种食物资源。本研究通过物种关联强调了生境异质性的重要性,并建议评估由桑树繁殖引起的生境同质性对小型哺乳动物群落的影响。

It is unclear whether the remarkable recovery of mountain gorillas Gorilla beringei beringei in the Virunga Mountains, East Africa, that followed decades of intensive conservation efforts, is indicative of positive trends in abundance and distribution of other large mammals (meso‐ and megaherbivores). Positive population trends are particularly relevant for globally threatened elephants Loxodonta sp., as conservation and research efforts have predominantly focused on populations that range in lowland savanna ecosystems rather than the smaller but ecologically and genetically unique populations found in the Virunga montane ecosystems. We used marked pellet group counts in dung clearance plots to determine the density/abundance and distribution of three mesoherbivores (buffalo, black‐fronted duiker, bushbuck) and one megaherbivore (elephant) in Volcanoes National Park (VNP; covering part of the Virunga Mountains), Rwanda, in July–September 2008 and 2021. We estimated that elephants and duiker populations saw a minor increase between 2008 and 2021 while densities of buffalo and bushbuck increased substantially over the course of the past decade. We also found no evidence of substantial distributional shifts for elephants but observed increases in densities of the other species in the southwestern parts of the VNP. Overall, density estimates for all species were much higher in both 2008 and 2021 than in a previous survey in 2004, which suggests that meso‐ and megaherbivores have largely recovered from a steep decline in numbers towards the end of the 20th century, possibly benefitting from the same protection efforts that benefitted mountain gorillas.
目前尚不清楚,经过数十年的密集保护工作,东非维龙加山脉山地大猩猩的显著恢复是否表明其他大型哺乳动物(中、巨型食草动物)的丰度和分布呈积极趋势。积极的种群趋势与全球濒危大象Loxodonta sp.特别相关,因为保护和研究工作主要集中在低地稀树草原生态系统中的种群,而不是维龙加山区生态系统中较小但生态和遗传上独特的种群。在火山国家公园(VNP),我们利用粪便清理区标记的颗粒群计数来确定三种中食草动物(水牛、黑头羚羊、羚羊)和一种巨型食草动物(大象)的密度/丰度和分布;覆盖了卢旺达维龙加山脉的部分地区),分别于2008年7月至9月和2021年进行。我们估计,在2008年至2021年期间,大象和小羚羊的数量略有增加,而水牛和羚羊的密度在过去十年中大幅增加。我们也没有发现大象分布发生重大变化的证据,但观察到其他物种在越南国家公园西南部的密度有所增加。总体而言,2008年和2021年所有物种的密度估计值都比2004年的调查高得多,这表明中、大型食草动物在20世纪末数量急剧下降的情况下已经基本恢复,可能受益于与山地大猩猩相同的保护措施。

The increased global demand for energy will require additional tools to help guide policy and management actions to conserve wildlife. Grouse (Tetraoninae) are adversely affected by infrastructure associated with energy development but the magnitude of effects are difficult to quantify in a singular management prescription. Advancement in monitoring and analysis techniques have allowed researchers to evaluate complex questions surrounding the effects of infrastructure on grouse populations, rapidly increasing our knowledge. To better inform management decisions, especially with the emergence of renewable energy, a quantitative synthesis of previous research evaluating the effects of infrastructure on grouse populations is needed. We reviewed studies evaluating the effect of energy infrastructure on grouse, with the main objective to determine the magnitude of effect on grouse lek attendance, resource selection, and survival to help inform future conservation actions. We modeled slope coefficients for distance to energy infrastructure, standardized by scale, on various behaviors to determine overall effect sizes in a meta‐analysis. We used 93 study‐result combinations from 21 studies that directly evaluated resource selection, survival, or lek attendance relative to energy infrastructure. Trends in overall effect sizes suggest an adverse effect of distance to energy infrastructure on grouse behavior; however, the combination of non‐significant pooled regression slopes and high among‐study heterogeneity suggest the effect of distance to energy infrastructure is context dependent. While distance to infrastructure is a common metric used in many grouse management plans, our results suggest distance to infrastructure may not be a reliable predictor of grouse behavior and the effect is context dependent making management prescriptions based solely on distance to infrastructure in a one size fits all approach difficult. Our analysis points to numerous aspects that scientists can improve upon by evaluating density in conjunction with distance to energy infrastructure as well as reporting the necessary statistics for future meta‐analyses.
全球能源需求的增加将需要更多的工具来帮助指导保护野生动物的政策和管理行动。Grouse(Tetraoninae)受到与能源开发相关的基础设施的不利影响,但其影响程度很难用单一的管理处方来量化。监测和分析技术的进步使研究人员能够评估基础设施对松鸡种群影响的复杂问题,从而迅速增加了我们的知识。为了更好地为管理决策提供信息,特别是随着可再生能源的出现,需要对先前评估基础设施对松鸡种群影响的研究进行定量综合。我们回顾了评估能源基础设施对松鸡影响的研究,主要目的是确定对松鸡lek出勤率、资源选择和生存的影响程度,以帮助为未来的保护行动提供信息。我们对各种行为的距离能源基础设施的斜率系数进行了建模,并按规模进行了标准化,以在荟萃分析中确定总体影响大小。我们使用了21项研究的93个研究结果组合,这些研究直接评估了与能源基础设施相关的资源选择、生存率或lek出勤率。总体效应大小的趋势表明,与能源基础设施的距离对松鸡的行为产生了不利影响;然而,非显著的合并回归斜率和研究间的高度异质性表明,距离能源基础设施的影响取决于环境。虽然与基础设施的距离是许多松鸡管理计划中使用的一个常见指标,但我们的研究结果表明,与基础设施之间的距离可能不是松鸡行为的可靠预测指标,其影响取决于环境,因此很难以一刀切的方式仅根据与基础设施间的距离制定管理处方。我们的分析指出了科学家可以通过评估密度与能源基础设施的距离以及为未来的荟萃分析报告必要的统计数据来改进的许多方面。

Carrion is a valuable resource in forests, providing sustenance for vertebrate and invertebrate scavenger communities and contributing to ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling. Intensive ungulate hunting, and thereby extraction of carcasses, removes large quantities of potential carrion from the system, denying a valuable resource from scavenger fauna. It may be possible to reduce the loss and negative consequences to forest biodiversity by retaining evisceration residues from hunted deer, where full carcasses cannot be retained. However, what roll evisceration residues play as a resource for scavengers in temperate forests is not well understood. In this study, we exposed 47 carrion samples from hunted roe deer, in front of triple sets of camera traps, to examine how hunting remains are removed and fed upon by vertebrate scavengers. Overall, 70% of the samples were completely removed from experimental sites by vertebrates. We detected twelve vertebrate taxa feeding on evisceration residues, including martens (Martes spp.), red kites Milvus milvus and garden dormice Eliomys quercinus. Common buzzards Buteo buteo and Eurasian jays Garrulus glandarius were the most frequent feeders on carrion samples, while red foxes Vulpes vulpes displaced the largest proportion of samples. Finally, we found a range of insectivorous bird and mammal species using hunting remains as a source for invertebrate prey, while not scavenging on the remains directly. We demonstrate that evisceration residues can be a valuable resource for a wide range of taxa and suggest that viscera retention from hunted game may contribute to resource provisioning for scavengers in forest ecosystems.
Carrion是森林中的宝贵资源,为脊椎动物和无脊椎动物清道夫群落提供食物,并有助于生态系统功能,如营养循环。密集的有蹄类狩猎,从而提取尸体,从系统中清除了大量潜在的腐肉,剥夺了食腐动物的宝贵资源。可以通过保留被猎杀鹿的内脏残留物来减少森林生物多样性的损失和负面后果,因为在这些鹿身上无法保留完整的尸体。然而,在温带森林中,卷取内脏残留物作为拾荒者的资源是什么还不清楚。在这项研究中,我们在三组相机陷阱前暴露了47个被猎杀的鱼子的腐肉样本,以研究脊椎动物清道夫是如何清除狩猎遗骸并以其为食的。总的来说,70%的样本被脊椎动物完全从实验地点移走。我们检测到12个以内脏残留物为食的脊椎动物分类群,包括貂(Martes spp.)、红鸢Milvus Milvus和花园睡鼠Eliomys quercinus。常见的秃鹰Buteo Buteo和欧亚松鸦Garlus glandarius是最常见的腐肉样本进食者,而赤狐Vulpes Vulpes取代了最大比例的样本。最后,我们发现了一系列食虫鸟类和哺乳动物,它们利用狩猎遗骸作为无脊椎动物猎物的来源,而不是直接捕食遗骸。我们证明,掏内脏残留物对广泛的分类群来说是一种宝贵的资源,并表明狩猎猎物的内脏保留可能有助于为森林生态系统中的食腐动物提供资源。

Estimation of the population size is essential for understanding population dynamics. Estimating animal density using multiple methods and/or multiple attempts is required for accurate estimations. Raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides is native to East Asia, including Japan, and has become an invasive species in Europe. Information on raccoon dog density in their native range is important to understand their invasion; however, relatively few studies have been conducted on raccoon dog density in their native range. In this study, we extracted DNA from fecal samples of raccoon dogs inhabiting a small island in Japan and conducted density estimation over two periods using DNA capture‐recapture methods: CAPWIRE and SECR. We also investigated sex ratio using genetic sex identification. Density estimates using SECR were approximately threefold different between the two study periods: 17.2 individuals per km2 in 2018 and 49.0 individuals per km2 in 2020. In contrast, estimates using CAPWIRE were relatively stable: 21.7 individuals per km2 in 2018 and 24.3 individuals per km2 in 2020. A drastic increase or decrease is not expected during the study period, and thus, density estimates using CAPWIRE are more reasonable than those using SECR. The small number of samples per individual might result in low accuracy of density estimates by SECR. The density estimated by CAPWIRE was similar to that in the main island in Japan and higher than that in Europe. Feeding competition with other omnivorous carnivores and/or predation risk by wolves might maintain the low density in Europe. The sex ratio of raccoon dogs was 1:1, which was similar to the values in invasive raccoon dogs and other canids. Further genetic census, including sex identification in various landscapes in their native and invasive range, will enable us to understand not only the ecology of raccoon dogs but also their adaptations to their invading areas.
种群规模的估计是了解种群动态的必要条件。为了准确估计,需要使用多种方法和/或多次尝试来估计动物密度。浣熊犬原产于东亚,包括日本,已成为欧洲的入侵物种。浣熊在其原生地的密度信息对于了解它们的入侵非常重要;然而,相对较少的研究进行了浣熊的密度在其原生地。在这项研究中,我们从居住在日本一个小岛上的貉的粪便样本中提取DNA,并使用DNA捕获-再捕获方法(CAPWIRE和SECR)在两个时期内进行密度估计。我们还利用遗传性别鉴定方法研究了性别比。使用SECR的密度估计值在两个研究期间相差约三倍:2018年为17.2个体/平方公里,2020年为49.0个体/平方公里。相比之下,使用CAPWIRE的估计值相对稳定:2018年为每平方公里21.7只,2020年为每平方公里24.3只。在研究期间,预计不会出现急剧的增加或减少,因此,使用CAPWIRE的密度估计比使用SECR的密度估计更合理。个体样本数量少可能导致SECR估计密度的准确性较低。CAPWIRE估算的密度与日本本岛相近,高于欧洲。与其他杂食性食肉动物的喂养竞争和/或狼的捕食风险可能会维持欧洲的低密度。貉的性别比为1:1,与入侵貉等犬科动物的性别比相近。进一步的基因普查,包括在其原生和入侵范围内的各种景观中进行性别鉴定,将使我们不仅能够了解浣熊的生态,而且能够了解它们对入侵地区的适应。
