However, mobile species may change their distribution and select more appropriate habitats as a response to disturbance. Ghost crabs are one of the few beach resident animals capable of moving over considerable distances, but usual habitat homogeneity of urban beaches theoretically prevents them from finding refuge. Here, I tested whether access walkways provide a habitat for ghost crabs on four beaches in southeastern Brazil. I counted and measured burrow opening diameter under walkways and in surrounding transects located at various distances from these structures between June 2020 and May 2021. Mean burrow density was three times higher in transects out of walkways than under the walkways. However, burrows were larger and positioned farther from the waterline under walkways. Walkways thus possibly provide protection for ghost crabs from trampling and vehicle traffic in urban beaches and could therefore be applied as an environmental enrichment tool in the management and conservation of sandy beach biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":49107,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biodiversity and Conservation","volume":"123 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135138480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of predation was assessed as a mortality factor in relation to floods and the hydrology of the river. The crayfish were trapped in a small plot of high pearl mussels density monitored since 2002, and collected each summer since 2019, during which time their abundance increased (65 % in three years). Simultaneously, we counted the shells carried by the floods to the gravel riverbanks. The incidence of floods was stable between 2019 and 2022 (10.3 % to 19.4 % of mortality), while at the bottom of the river the mortality of pearl mussels increased due to predation from 2.7 % to 43.3 %. During the 2022 dry season, 29 pearl mussels that had recently died and whose shell edges were widely gnawed by crayfishes were collected from the plot. The shells appeared bitten only in the contour exposed above the gravel, ruling out the possibility that the marks could be the effect of the scavenging of dead specimens by the crayfish. Low intensity trapping barely affected the crayfish population, since the following year their abundance in the controlled section had recovered.","PeriodicalId":49107,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biodiversity and Conservation","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the abundance of squirrels in this area in relation to two scales: (1) home range, as signs per square meter; and (2) landscape, as active nests per 1 x 1 km UTM grids. We tested the influence of land use and habitat features on the abundance of squirrels. On the home range scale, squirrel activity was higher in mature pines located near cliffs and in pines near freshwater channels. The cliffs hosted the best pine forest patches, and despite being very close to the sea, squirrels often used these as feeding areas but not as areas for building nests. On the landscape scale, squirrel nests were rarer in grids with more herbaceous crops and were more abundant in grids with longer freshwater streams. These results suggest that the squirrels in this area may have adapted to life at this site and to the marine influence via a differential use of habitat. The squirrels' use of the best feeding areas suggests saline stress is counteracted by establishing nests in humid areas away from cliffs.","PeriodicalId":49107,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biodiversity and Conservation","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136379044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sampled 57 transects (372 km per year) and fitted generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) to study changes in species occurrence. Our results showed that specific richness and the Shannon index did not vary significantly between rainfed and irrigated transects, but there was a certain positive trend when comparing the years 2005 and 2020. Regarding the differences detected for each species, the occurrence of Montagu’s harrier Circus pygargus, hen harrier Circus cyaneus, Eurasian short-toed eagle Circaetus gallicus, griffon vulture Gyps fulvus and carrion crow Corvus corone was significantly lower in irrigated land than in rainfed land, while magpie Pica pica, Western marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus, common kestrel Falco tinnunculus and black kite Milvus migrans showed a significantly higher occurrence in the irrigated transects. In addition, our findings confirm a significant decrease in occurrence between 2005 and 2020 both in rainfed and irrigated areas for Montagu’s harrier, hen harrier and magpie, while Western marsh harrier, golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos, common buzzard Buteo buteo, red kite Milvus milvus, griffon vulture Gyps fulvus, red-billed chough Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax and Western jackdaw Coloeus monedula were detected significantly more frequently in 2020 than in 2005. These results suggest that assessment of the impact of a new irrigation system should focus on the most characteristic species of rainfed agrosystems because the apparently positive effect on other species, equally protected but more generalist, may mask the real effect on conservation.","PeriodicalId":49107,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biodiversity and Conservation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42728150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study determined the feeding ecology of the species in the Gnanhouizounmè community forest, a forest fragment in Southern Benin. The ad libitum observation method was used to collect data during the minor wet and the major dry seasons. Descriptive statistics, proportion comparison tests, and diversity indices were used to analyse data. Results showed that the mona monkey foraged on 22 plant species in the study forest, with Ceiba pentandra, Dialium guineense, Elaeis guineensis and Spondia monbin constituting its major diet. Three species of leguminous plants were the most common food type. Fruits, both mature and immature, were the top food item in the diet, while other items were leaves, buds, tubers, stalks and flowers. Dietary diversity was low (H = 2.09 in the wet season, H = 1.74 in the dry season) with a low similarity between the two seasons (Morisita–Horn's index = 0.31). In forest fragments, the mona monkey has adapted to feed on few plant species and adjusts its diet to resources available each season. Plants consumed by this species should be taken into account in future tree-planting campaigns for the sustainable conservation of these monkeys in the study area.","PeriodicalId":49107,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biodiversity and Conservation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49155034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
