Baboons, hyenas, impala, kudu, waterbuck, and sable antelope exhibited greater temporal overlap with people in agricultural corridors, whereas elephants showed reduced overlap in these areas. We also found that the daily probability of corridor use varied across species: elephants were more likely to be found in agricultural corridors, while warthogs and waterbuck were more likely to occur in urban corridors.

Sri Lanka is a tropical region well-known for its extensive body of research on MSFs and its highly diverse MSF assemblages, especially in lowland rainforests. Identifying MSFs in high-elevation ranges is increasingly important as climate change drives species to shift toward higher elevations. This study examined MSFs across three elevation gradients (high, mid, and low) along the same stretch of the northern flank of the Knuckles Mountain Range, specifically in Riverstan (high), upper Pitawala (mid), and the Bellan-Ela area (low). Using a line transect method, we observed 40 MSFs at each elevation and estimated foraging heights of each species and their abundance within observed MSFs. To compare MSF participants, we used interpolation and extrapolation (iNEXT) four-step analyses to assess taxonomic diversity. The functional diversity of MSF participants was measured using functional richness, functional divergence, functional evenness, functional dispersion, and Rao's quadratic entropy. Additionally, we compared the foraging heights of species across elevations. Our results revealed significant differences in taxonomic diversity among MSF participants along the elevational gradient. High elevations had lower taxonomic diversity, while low elevations had the highest diversity. Mid- and low-elevation assemblages were similar in Simpson diversity, though both exceeded high-elevation assemblages. However, functional diversity remained conserved across all elevational levels. Thirteen species demonstrated flexibility in changing their foraging heights at different elevations. This flexibility may be a strong indicator of the adaptability of MSF species when shifting habitats, suggesting that MSFs may serve as refuges that increase foraging efficiency during elevational shifts. Nonetheless, only three endemic species showed foraging-height flexibility, while 12 exhibited aversion to changing their adapted niche. These findings highlight the importance of studying highland MSFs to better understand their ecology and implement targeted conservation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":100680,"journal":{"name":"Integrative Conservation","volume":"5 1","pages":"59-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inc3.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To increase the repertoire and variability in the songs of these competition species, competitors use so-called master birds. These are caged near competition birds to train them through vocal mimicry. Here, we focus on one such master bird, the crested jayshrike <i>Platylophus galericulatus</i>. Recognizing the negative effect trade has had on wild populations, the Indonesian government added this species to its list of protected species in 2018. We used data from 21 bird markets surveyed between 2011–2018 (119 surveys) and 2018–2025 (105 surveys) to assess whether this legal protection was effective. We recorded crested jayshrikes openly offered for sale, with most surveys documenting one or two individuals. We found a strong contrast between the brown crested jayshrike <i>P. g. coronatus</i> from Borneo and Sumatra and the Javan crested jayshrike <i>P. g. galericulatus</i>. The former was favored because of its superior singing abilities and more varied, piercing song. Almost three-quarters of individuals traded were brown crested jayshrikes, and they commanded significantly higher prices. Overall, remarkably little change was detected over the 15-year period, and legal protection appears to have had limited effect. We found no significant change in the number of markets offering the species (16 vs. 15), in market-level abundance trends (10 decreases, 5 no change, 6 increases), in temporal patterns, or in prices (brown: US$103 vs. US$110; Javan: US$57 vs. US$41 at the start and end of the study, respectively). The mean abundance decline slightly (1.6 vs. 1.3 birds per survey). Although crested jayshrikes themselves do not enter singing competitions, they are an integral part of the competitive songbird industry as master birds, with thousands caught illegally every year. As a result, they face a risk of extinction driven indirectly by the demand for increasingly complex songs in competing species.

In this study we investigate the use of tiger bone glue (TBG), which is used to treat a variety of ailments. Our objective was to understand how much of a threat TBG consumption might be in Vietnam, with the aim of using this information to inform conservation management efforts. We used a semi-structured questionnaire and found that the use of TBG is a sensitive topic, probably due to its known illegality. Using the nominative technique, we found the estimated use of TBG within the last 12 months to be relatively low, at 6.9%. A higher level of use of Western medicine decreased the probability an individual had ever used TBG. From the qualitative results, we found a stated motivation of taking TBG to improve health, and according to the suggestion of one's social group. We suggest efforts to reduce TBG use focus on reducing the acceptability of TBG as a medicine, and encouraging non-animal-based medicinal alternatives. We also suggest the Government of Vietnam should continue its efforts to decrease accessibility to TBG by shutting down tiger farms.
