Beyond the dichotomy between field and lab — the importance of studying cognition in context

Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 46, С. 101172 - 101172

Animals are governed by their individual and species-specific predispositions, constrained natural social environment, influenced daily-life experiences. Drawing a broad comparative arc from domestic dogs corvids to nonhuman primates, we illustrate the importance of looking beyond any presumed dichotomy between field lab studies acknowledging that all animals' cognition behavior context in which an finds itself, as well empirical imposed us researchers. We address need for, benefits properly reporting context(s) under is investigated. This allows making valid comparisons across populations testing for effect varying contexts on how flexibly animals express cognitive abilities.

Human activity and climate change accelerate the extinction risk to non‐human primates in China

Human activity and climate change affect biodiversity cause species range shifts, contractions, expansions. Globally, human activities have emerged as persistent threats to biodiversity, leading approximately 68% of the ~522 primate being threatened with extinction. Here, we used habitat suitability models integrated data on population density, gross domestic product (GDP), road construction, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), location protected areas (PAs), predict potential changes in distributional richness 26 China's species.

Global online trade in primates for pets

The trade in primates as pets is a global enterprise and access to the Internet has increased, so too of live online. While quantifying primate physical markets relatively straightforward, limited insights have been made into via Internet. Here we followed three-pronged approach estimate prevalence ease purchasing online countries with different socioeconomic characteristics. We first conducted literature review, which found that Malaysia, Thailand, USA, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia stood out terms number individuals being offered for sale trade. Then, assessed perceived pet 77 countries, positive relationship Penetration Rate, total human population Human Development Index, but not Gross Domestic Product per capita or corruption levels countries.

Social Sustainability of Palm Oil Industry: A Review

Frontiers in Sustainability, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 3

Climate change, resource scarcity, and an aging population are the most concerning global issues in recent decades. One of best methods to manage mitigate these problems while continuing boost economies offer opportunities for growing world is sustainable development. As Malaysia one major oil consumers world, sustainability palm has been controversial. Several standards introduced ensure balance performance terms economic, environmental, social industry. Nonetheless, aspect received relatively less emphasis as compared with economic environmental aspects. Literature, experts, anecdotal evidence often claim that it due complication assessing evaluating factors impacts. Thus, this work aims fill gap literature on industry both facets. Suggested facets their implication can enrich theoretical contribution field providing a comprehensive profile The outcomes also be adopted by policymakers stakeholders assess, manage, enhance

Subnational assessment of threats to Indian biodiversity and habitat restoration opportunities

Abstract The active involvement of subnational authorities, cities and local governments has been identified as one the enabling conditions to implement Convention on Biological Diversity’s Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework progress towards United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life Land). However, there not any systematic application biodiversity metric at level identify where main responsibilities opportunities lie within a country.

Ecological Resilience in a Primate Community Affected by Gold Mining in Suriname

Biotropica, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 57(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 20, 2025

ABSTRACT Tropical habitats in South America and Africa are being transformed by artisanal gold mining, but few studies have addressed how mining impacts animals at the community level. We assessed long‐term ecological resilience to disturbance for seven primate species ( Allouatta macconnelli , Ateles paniscus Cebus olivaceus Chiropotes sagulatus Pithecia pithecia Saguinus midas Sapajus apella ) Brownsberg Nature Park, Suriname over a 20‐year period. Using 11 trails unpaved roads calculate “encounter rates” (species encountered/km walked), we compared encounter frequency, location, group size across four community‐wide surveys 2003, 2013, 2014, 2023. hypothesized that response would (1) affect rates, (2) shift location of encounters relative activity, (3) impact sizes. Intraspecific variation rates from 2003 2023 did not vary significantly, minimum sizes declined all (four showing significant declines). The three more recent also showed two were encountered areas close top mountain. suggest context intensified maintained stable some shifted their ranges, as evidenced higher farther periphery study area. While this suggests capacity face mining‐related disturbances, decline may be an early sign insidious effect.

Dietary composition and feeding preference of Mantled guereza Colobus guereza (Rüppell, 1835), in Maze National Park, Ethiopia

PeerJ, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13, С. e18998 - e18998

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Knowledge of feeding ecology is essential for effective management a primate and its habitat. The Mantled guereza Colobus predominantly folivorous monkey that occurs in different parts eastern Africa, including the Maze National Park Ethiopia. Despite many studies conducted area, there no up-to-date data was carried out on . aim this study to determine dietary composition preference park. To better understand this, we randomly selected three groups along River. We used instantaneous scan sampling method collect from September 2021–August 2022. followed guerezas 6:30 10:30 morning 13:30 17:25 afternoon collecting activity between 5 min intervals during 10-min duration. Overall, were observed eat eight plant species unidentified invertebrates Of these, Trichilia emetica contributed highest proportion accounted 53.36% 27.83% wet dry season respectively, while rarely utilized over course study. also found young leaves consumed more ( n = 1,794, 75.31%) mature eaten 1,215, 43.61%) other diet components season. These results suggest park exhibit temporal flexibility. flexibility may be partly due seasonal changes availability food groups’ home ranges Our maintaining critical protect primate, which at present constitutes only few.
