Abstract:

Most of the conservation issues which ecologists are called on to help resolve are essentially about ecological communities. Camera trapping technology has led to a surge in the collection of large ecological datasets, which provides an unmissable opportunity to attain deeper knowledge of animal community assembly and structure. Using extensive camera trap data, this thesis examines whether camera traps can be used as sensor networks for a space-time exploration of the terrestrial mammal community that occurs in the Little Karoo of South Africa. In Chapter 1, the species-habitat relationship a

Abstract:

The Amazon represents more than half of the surviving tropical forest on Earth. However, despite its vast size and diversity, habitat loss is an increasing threat due to the growth of economic activities and infrastructure projects. Carnivores play an important role in reducing herbivore numbers through predation, thereby reducing the risk of over browsing and are particularly susceptible to habitat loss and fragmentation due to their large area requirements, low densities, and slow population growth. Altering herbivore communities via a change in carnivore density and habitat loss may chan

To address my first objective, I opportunistically collected road-killed bobcats (n=44) throughout Illinois during 2013-2014, and analyzed their liver tissue for the presence of PCBs, PBDEs, and various other alternative halogenated flame retardants. Concentrations of ∑PCBs ranged from 76.4 ng/g lw to 3782 ng/g lw (median 562.97 ng/g lw). Male bobcats had significantly higher concentrations of PCBs than females (p = 0.04). Concentrations of ∑PBDEs (including all detectable PBDE congeners) ranged from 8.3 to 1920 ng/g lipid weight (median: 50.3 ng/g lw). Among the alternative flame retardants s

Abstract:

Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight. In flight, bats consume up to 20 times more oxygen per hour than under basal conditions. This is twice the increase reported for running mammals of the same body sizes. Birds are the only other group of vertebrate capable of powered flight. By plotting morphological and physiological parameters against body mass for bats, terrestrial mammals, and birds, we can observe to what extent these parameters permit high rates of oxygen delivery necessary for flight. In this study we analyzed basal metabolic rate, heart mass, and hematocrit, and compa

Abstract:

An important goal of ecological studies is to identify and explain patterns or variation in species assemblages. Ecologists have discovered that global variation in the number of species in an assemblage relates strongly to climate, area, and topographic variability in terrestrial environments. Is the same true for other characteristics of species assemblages? The focus of this thesis is to determine whether species assemblage structure, defined primarily as the body mass frequency distributions and species abundance distributions relate in convergent ways to a set of a few environmental va

Culvert flooding jeopardizes their use as safe crossing locations for animals, especially in locations with significative precipitation. The installation of elevated dry ledges inside culverts has been studied as a solution, although it is still not certain how effective they are. In order to tackle this problem, we tried to understand the under-road crossing patterns of mammals in culverts with and without ledges. We got enough data for six species, which showed carnivores had distinct preferences regarding culvert design and that culvert use was also dependent on environmental features surro

Mammals in freshwater aquatic systems play important roles as ecosystem engineers, trophic transfer agents, and apex predators, thus acting as indicators of freshwater ecosystem function.

Semi-aquatic mammals not only exert top-down influences on streams, but are affected by bottom-up forces from the riparian system itself.

Vertebrate diversity, ecological structure and resource selection were characterized across the Yukon FTT using diversity metrics, ordination, hierarchical clustering, and resource modeling.

Abstract:

Terrestrial mammals affect numerous aspects of plant demography, colonization, and community structure in Neotropical forests. Granivorous mammals destroy seeds via seed predation and seedlings through herbivory, negatively affecting plant fitness. Mammals can also positively affect plants by dispersing or hoarding seeds. Seed fate outcomes are contingent on the interaction between mammal seed handling strategies and the intrinsic anti-predation defenses possessed by seeds.

Abstract:

An increasing amount of evidence suggests that as temperatures increase, montane animals are moving upward in elevation (IPCC 2007, Parmesan and Yohe 2003). As suitable habitats rise in elevation and then disappear altogether, these animals could be pushed to extinction. The American pika, Ochotona princeps, is a montane mammal that lives in western North America, usually at elevations above 1500 m (Smith and Weston 1990). Recent evidence suggests that pika population numbers are dropping in response to rising temperatures (Beever et al. 2010). The pika is a small herbivorous lagomorph, a

Translocations to closed systems such as fenced reserves are commonly used for the conservation of threatened fauna species worldwide and although fenced reserves can provide significant conservation benefits to biodiversity, they can also bring forth potential threats. Ecologically similar species can stably coexist by partitioning resources along at least one of three niche dimensions (food, space, or time), thereby reducing interspecific competition. However, resources are limited in fenced reserves and natural processes that regulate populations in response to resource availability, such a

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>生態學與演化生物學研究所<br>102<br>Spatial distributions of flora and fauna are critical information for research and conservation. When studying distribution of rare, enigmatic, sparsely recorded or broadly distributed species, researchers can model their potential habitats with species distribution modeling techniques. Species distribution modeling can depict the potential habitat distribution of species by analyzing their occurrence records and environmental variables of study area. To date, these techniques have been applied to various biological and geographic research. Most protected

The resource competition and niche division by sympatric animals, is vital for sustainable resource allocation in ecological management. Cat Tien National Park (CTNP), the largest lowland rainforest in South Vietnam, contains diverse habitats, sustaining a high biodiversity of fauna. Human activities however surrounding the boundary and illegal activities inside the national park are causing a serious problem, threatening this unique biod

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>生命科學系所<br>99<br>Variabilities of environmental conditions in habitats may affect the animals in different ways, such as population characteristics and community structure. I investigated terrestrial small mammals in habitats of three different types of land-use (grass, orchard, forest) in the Wuling area, in order to understand how differences in environmental conditions affect small mammal population characteristics and community. A total of six rodents and shrew species were captured during the study period. Except for the Chinese white-toothed shrew (Crocidura rapax kurodai)

Abstract:

Stable isotope analyses are powerful tools for reconstructing ancient ecologies and ecosystems, as they are independent of morphology and directly reflect dietary ecology. The application of stable isotope analyses, however, is not without limitations, as determination of food web dynamics using these methods often relies on poorly tested assumptions. The guiding thread of this thesis is the testing of foundational cornerstones on which these methods rely, in order to validate the suitability of applying these techniques to different mammalian clades, and to more reliably and confidently inter

Abstract:

This thesis creates a part of more extensive scientific study, which evaluates effects of different agricultural management on ecological functions and on landscapes´s water regime in source water areas of Bohemian Forest. A one of examined characteristic of catchment is biodiversity of plant and animal communities. The aim of my thesis is a comparsion of diversity of small terrestrial mammals in three catchments with similar nature conditions, but different management. Small terrestrial mammals is a group of vertebrates often used for study of enviromental state, because of their high reprodc
