One such threat is the potential negative interaction between seabirds and fisheries through incidental by-catch. In 2012, 60 magnificent frigatebirds Fregata magnificens were found dead, entangled in fishing line, at the globally important breeding site in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). To assess the potential relationship between foraging behaviour and fishing activity, data loggers were deployed on breeding magnificent frigatebirds to record foraging movements. In addition, a survey of local fishers was conducted to assess the scale of incidental by-catch. We recorded 28 complete foraging trips from GPS and GPS-GSM loggers, and 1758 PTT locations. Birds travelled up to 3.3–1067 km from their breeding colony and entered the waters of 10 neighbouring territories. A high percentage of fishers (93% n = 28) reported catching at least one seabird annually, of which the most common were magnificent frigatebirds and brown boobies Sula leucogaster. There are estimated to be at least 1112 vessels in the recreational and artisanal fishing fleets of BVI and its neighbouring islands. Thus, this substantial fishery may have potentially profound effects on seabird populations in the region.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2019.1682352","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49388715","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}

Decorations consist of a three-dimensional ‘tube’ of silk line scaffolding within which detritus, prey items and moult exuviae are laid perpendicular to the web plane, extending from the central sticky web forward and backward to the dorsal and ventral barrier webs. Complementarity with barrier web construction, combined with the vulnerability of this ontogenetic stage, suggest that the primary function of the decorations is as an anti-predator device. Various lines of evidence support the view that the fundamental structural purpose of the decorations is perpendicular extension: (1) median web residency time was significantly greater for juveniles with decorations ≥ 1 cm in size; (2) detritus was the primary contributor to decoration length; and (3) examination of the in-laying technique for prey inclusions found them to be ‘unnecessarily’ dismembered and stretched out along the decorative plane. Although there is probably some degree of interdependence between predator avoidance and prey catching success, extension as a property fits most consistently within a defensive interpretation of function in so far as it confers either distance from and/or interference with predators.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2019.1681851","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45687642","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 study, we document bat species richness and abundance along an elevational gradient on Mount Cameroon from sea level to 2,400 m a.s.l. Bats were mist netted in four elevational ranges corresponding to four montane vegetation types: disturbed lowland forest (0–800 m a.s.l.), disturbed sub-montane forest (801–1,600 m a.s.l.), montane forest (1,601–1,800 m a.s.l.), montane scrub (1,801–2,400 m a.s.l.), during the dry and the rainy season from November 2016 to July 2018. Forty-nine days of fieldwork resulted in the capture of 566 bats belonging to six families, 17 genera and 20 species. Species richness peaked at 475 m a.s.l. and decreased at higher elevations. The vast majority of bats captured were frugivorous bats (93.99%). We also observed a difference in species that characterize lower elevations, disturbed habitats (<1,600 m a.s.l.) (including Eidolon helvum, Epomops franqueti, Megaloglossus woermanni, Micropteropus pusillus, Nanonycteris veldkampii) and those that characterize higher elevations with primary vegetation (1,601–2,400 m a.s.l.) (including Lissonycteris angolensis and Rousettus aegyptiacus). Our data indicate that some species are much more likely to be affected by ongoing anthropogenic disturbances than others because of their spatial limitation and restrictions in ecological preferences. Our data also contributes to a better description of the bat fauna of Mount Cameroon including how species are distributed at higher altitude and different montane vegetation types.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2019.1680077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42013822","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}

The use of morphological traits can be useful to detect organisms distribution patterns in these areas. Information concerning hyporheic communities are scarce as well on chironomid vertical distribution. Fauna samples from the hyporheic zone were collected at three depths and in four microhabitats. Eighteen genera were recorded and 13 morphological traits were identified. The results indicate that the distribution patterns of hyporheic chironomid taxa vary according to depth and microhabitat. Spatial preferences for riffles habitats are evident, and the vertical distribution is correlated with morphological traits like body size, pseudopods and mentum. Faunal abundance and richness decreased with depth and the vertical distribution influenced the chironomid morphological traits. We conclude that the use of morphological trait can introduce new useful information about the distribution of hyporheic fauna. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E1DDF958-AA8C-40FD-A0D5-F281AA4AEA04","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2019.1639034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41349577","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}

We implemented a wildlife rescue and relocation program associated with the third locks expansion project of the Panamá Canal and here describe our efforts and findings. During 2007–2010, 896 animals were rescued from 11 sites along the canal; 84% of these individuals (n = 806) were successfully relocated to protected areas and 6% (n = 57) were relocated to captivity. One-hundred three species were rescued during >16,000 h of human effort; of those species, 66 were listed as Least Concern or higher on the IUCN Red List. We estimated wildlife biodiversity values from rescue sites; mean values were 0.2, 0.9, 2.5, and 2.1 for Berger–Parker, Simpson, Shannon, and Brillouin indices, respectively, indicating high diversity in species composition. Our research provides rare insight into the process and phases of a large wildlife rescue operation as well as an examination of wildlife diversity found in the Panamá Canal Watershed.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2019.1589264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44833428","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}
