Food Selection by Northern Yellow-Cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus Annamensis)In Northern Cambodia
Food Selection by Northern Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus annamensis)in Northern Cambodia Naven Hon A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand 2016 i Abstract Tropical regions have extremely high plant diversity, which in turn supports a high diversity of animals. However, not all plant species are selected by animals as food sources, with some herbivores selecting only specific plants as food as not all plants have the same nutrient make up. Animals must select which food items to include in their diets, as the amount and type of nutrients in their diet can affect lifespan, health, fitness, and reproduction. Gibbon populations have declined significantly in recent years due to habitat destruction and hunting. Northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon (Nomascus annamensis) is a newly described species, and has a limited distribution restricted to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons play an important role in seed dispersal, yet little is currently known about this species, including its food selection and nutritional needs. However, data on food selection and nutritional composition of selected food items would greatly inform the conservation of both wild and captive populations of this species. This study aims to quantify food selection by the northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons by investigating the main plant species consumed and the influence of the availability of food items on their selection. The study also explores the nutritional composition of food items consumed by this gibbon species and identifying key plant species that provide these significant nutrients. -

Blood samples were taken from two male and two female deer. After standard whole blood T-lymphocytes were cultured at 37°C for 72 h in presence of colchicine, metaphase spreads were per- formed on microscopic slides and air-dried. Conventional staining, GTG-, high-resolution and Ag-NOR banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosome. The results show that the diploid chromosome number of H. porcinus was 2n=68, the fundamental number (NF) was 70 in both males and females. The types of autosomes observed were 6 large telocentric, 18 medium telocentric and 42 small telocentric chromosomes. -

2012 Bobcat Genetics Summary
Summary of research on population genetics of bobcats across the United States Principal Investigators: Dawn M. Reding1; Anne M. Bronikowski1; Warren E. Johnson2; William R. Clark1 1Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 2Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD 21702 Genetic methods have increasingly become an integral component of conservation and management of wild animal populations. Genetic data can be useful for identifying population structure, which reveals how factors such as landscape barriers (such as roads, rivers, mountains, cities, or unsuitable habitat) or simply geographic distance influences animal movement and the potential for individuals to settle in new areas and interbreed. Understanding how and why bobcats are structured into populations can help to anticipate how they might respond to habitat loss, recover from local extinction, spread disease, or even evolve in response to long-term trends like global climate change. In this study, we used genetic analysis to investigate the patterns and mechanisms of population structure for bobcats across the entire United States. We analyzed DNA (15 microsatellites and 1 KB mtDNA sequence) for over 1700 samples collected throughout the majority of the bobcat range, including samples from 9 of the 12 morphologically described subspecies. The sample set represents contributions from numerous furharvesters, state agencies, and biologists. The genetic data primarily distinguished bobcats in the eastern USA from those in the western half (Figure 1), even though there is no obvious physical barrier separating them. Instead, the data support a scenario of a historical midcontinent barrier. Bobcat populations in the east and west were likely separated by the relatively arid and treeless conditions in the center of the continent during the Pleistocene, but expanded around the time the glaciers receded (~11,000 years ago) and suitable habitat became more widely available.
