Studies using Ghost Crabs as bio-indicator have often focused on the influence of human disturbance and beach geomorphology, separately. However, the relative importance of these variables should be assessed to maintain community structure. Here, I used an indirect burrow examination technique to understand whether Ghost Crabs respond to human disturbance stronger than to geomorphological properties of the sites. I analysed sand compaction rate, sand grain size, beach width, and beach slope as geomorphological features and urbanization index as a measure of human disturbance on each site. I further examined Ghost Crab burrows by counting and measuring the openings. Ghost Crabs showed lower population density and individual body sizes as a response to human disturbance, and the level of this response was partly related to the geomorphological features of the sites. However, human disturbance explained approximately 72% of the variation in the Ghost Crab burrow density and about 70% of the variation in the burrow size, alone. The findings of this study corroborate the use of Ghost Crabs as an efficient bioindicator species of human disturbance on sandy shores to achieve efficient beach management, yet suggest that managers and scientists should combine the influences of geomorphological features of the beaches and the degree of human disturbances in their ecological assessments.","PeriodicalId":24024,"journal":{"name":"Zoology in the Middle East","volume":"68 1","pages":"225 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45249455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, field and remotely sensed data were used to examine the ecological and anthropogenic factors affecting the abundance of Dorcas Gazelle within Wadi El-Gemal Protected Area in the Eastern desert of Egypt, using Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM). The species’ abundance is shaped by anthropogenic activities (number of car trails and proximity to the coastal road) more than ecological factors (vegetation and wetness indices). Dorcas Gazelle is avoiding more humid and greener areas because of human disturbance. Such suitable habitats may be perceived by gazelles as too dangerous, and the animals therefore prefer less suitable but safer habitats that are further away or less frequented by humans. Moreover, an easy to conduct, cheap monitoring tool, the Kilometric Abundance Index (KAI), was devised and implemented for baseline information to be used for future monitoring of Dorcas Gazelle.","PeriodicalId":24024,"journal":{"name":"Zoology in the Middle East","volume":"68 1","pages":"189 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42910508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we focus on its protected habitats in the Mesopotamian steppes and examine how to create connectivity between habitats under changing climate conditions. We use ecological niche modelling for four time periods, as simulated in five General Circulation Models (GCMs), to assess the distributional shifts of G. marica over the decades and predict its future ecological connection effectivity based on a least-cost model. We suggest establishing three potential corridors between core protected areas. The findings indicate that there will be a southward and westward shift in the distribution of the species due to future climate change. Overall, the results of the GCMs suggest that climate change will trigger habitat loss for G. marica. Unless conservation measures take the forecasted changes in habitat into consideration, the extinction of this species will be unavoidable.","PeriodicalId":24024,"journal":{"name":"Zoology in the Middle East","volume":"68 1","pages":"198 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44285348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
