We conducted a monthly survey of 537 tagged trees of 21 species and monitored the abundance of sambar using camera traps from October 2018 to January 2021, aiming to interpret possible causes of the bark-stripping behavior in Tataka. We also used a generalized linear model to evaluate factors that may affect the probability of a tree having its bark stripped. Both our observations and the model predictions showed that sambar has a strong preference for bark of <i>Pinus armandii</i>, <i>Photinia niitakayamensis</i>, and <i>Salix fulvopubeseens</i> and for trees with diameter at breast height around 14 cm. Bark stripping mainly occurred between July and October when major forage was most abundant. However, sambar's need for bark surged in May when sambar abundance was moderate and decreased in October when sambar abundance was high. The seasonality of bark stripping was synchronized with the peak periods of antler development, fawn nursing, and spread of gastrointestinal parasites, suggesting that sambar strips bark to ingest minerals for their physiological needs and/or to acquire plant secondary metabolites to repel gastrointestinal parasites. Sambar abundance alone was not sufficient to predict the overall intensity of bark stripping. Rather, the product of sambar abundance and the necessity index (average wound size) were strongly correlated with the overall bark-stripping intensity. Therefore, controlling sambar abundance is essential but it alone may not be the optimal strategy for controlling bark stripping. A combination of population control and relaxing of sambar's parasite loading and/or physiological needs for minerals is an important strategy to control the overall bark stripping. Future research could use the necessity index to investigate the synchronicity of the bark-stripping behavior, deer's physiological state, environmental factors and phenology to better understand the cause of this behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":49331,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9579954/pdf/zoolstud-61-019.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40679844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two genes display opposing orientations. It had been speculated that LWS-R hijacks the cis-regulatory elements of GPHN for transcription, but whether their expression is correlated had remained unclear.

We describe a sandstone nodule containing fish skeletons from the Late Pleistocene Szekou Formation in southern Taiwan. The specimen includes nearly complete left jaws, fragmentary right jaws, and part of the anterior body. The distinct dentition of the specimen suggests it to be a member of Sparidae family. Further morphological analysis based on dentition and a comparison with 153 recent specimens belonging to 14 sparid species in the area enabled us to assign the fossil to the species <i>Pagrus major</i>. We found that the characteristic sparid tooth patterns are useful in generic determination, at least in Taiwan. The occurrence of the specimen is the first evidence of <i>P. major</i> in the region.
