Abstract:
... Invasive mammals have irreversibly altered ecosystems of Hawai‘i and other tropical Pacific islands in numerous cases through novel herbivory, predation, and diseases, thereby causing the disproportionate extinction of flora and fauna that occur nowhere else on Earth. The control and eradication of invasive mammals is the single most expensive management activity necessary for restoring ecological ...

Subject:
Apodemus speciosus; absorption; cecum; cold; cold stress; digestive tract; energy; food quality; mice; photoperiod; small intestine; small mammals; stomach; temperature
Abstract:
... In some small mammals, digestive tract morphology is known to vary between and within individuals over time. Although changes in organs such as the stomach, small intestine, cecum, and large intestine vary among species, there is a trend toward increasing length and mass in individuals faced with increasing energy demands due to cold exposure or to reduced food quality. These morphological changes ...

Subject:
Macaca fascicularis; Nasalis larvatus; ecology; endangered species; forests; land surveying; monkeys; proboscis; rivers; surveys; Borneo
Abstract:
... Accurate determination of the abundance and distribution of animals, particularly endangered species, is a fundamental requirement for understanding their ecology and has important applications for their conservation. In Bornean flooded forests, various approaches have previously been used to conduct primate census, including foot-based land surveys and boat-based river surveys at different times ...
