  • Gut Analysis of Small Non-Volant Mammals of Mt. Makiling, Luzon Island, Philippines Anna Pauline O
    Journal of Environmental Science and Management 17(2): 63-68 (December 2014) ISSN 0119-1144 Gut Analysis of Small Non-Volant Mammals of Mt. Makiling, Luzon Island, Philippines Anna Pauline O. de Guia1 and Ma. Niña Regina M. Quibod2 ABSTRACT Three non-native species (Rattus exulans, R. tanezumi and Mus musculus) of small non-volant mammals were recorded along various elevational gradients of Mount Makiling. Invertebrate remains and plant matter comprised the bulk of their diets based on the food items identifed. The identifed plant matter were leaves and seeds while invertebrates were easily identifable through body parts such as legs, head and antennae. Other contents identifed including vertebrate remains such as hair/fur, feathers and bones, plastics, rubber, stones, and intestinal worms were noted. Based on the calculated relative abundance of each food type, there is no signifcant difference in the diets of the three non-native rodent species. Preliminary results suggest that introduced rodents in Mt. Makiling have broad diets and there are no indications that their main diet includes native wildlife species. Traces of vertebrate remains, however, may indicate potential predation on wildlife species and further studies are needed to clarify this. Key words: rodents, gut analysis, endemic, non-native, elevational gradient INTRODUCTION The complexity of tropical mountain ecosystems endemic species (Rickart et al. 2007; Ong and Rickart 2008). have long provided haven for various Philippine wildlife R. exulans and R. tanezumi have been recorded at altitudes species. The elevational gradients provide various forest of 725 – 1450 masl on Mt. Isarog (Heaney et al. 1998). S. types while vertical stratifcation of trees offer habitat murinus, R.

  • Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change on Nepenthes
    Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron 4/27/19 Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron; 4/27/2018 1 Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes When Dominick Gravine, and avid Nepenthes collector and seller, visited Borneo in March of 2013 to trek up the slopes of mount Trusmadi, he not only saw the endangered Nepenthes species that inhabit the misty slopes, but also the effects of the rapid urbanization of the local villages. He saw ‘palm oil plantations as far as the eye Dominick Gravine and his collection of Nepenthes can see.’ (-Gravine). “Palm oil plantations completely clear the land of its natural biodiversity.’ (-Gravine). “While in the local villages, I was offered many plants which were obviously taken from the wild. The locals see these plants as a source of money. The over collect and sell them to collectors.” (-Gravine) While climbing the mountains, he saw many seed stalks cut of many plants from people along the trails, which has a large impact on these plants’ ability to reproduce. Habitat destruction and excessive poaching is having a severe Nepenthes Veitchii 'Candy Dreams'; created by Dominick Gravine effect on plant species not only in places like Borneo, but also worldwide. Although many people deny human caused endangerment of plant species due to excessive poaching, reckless destruction of habitats globally, and climate change, Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron; 4/27/2018 2 has a profound, and rather severe, effect on plant species globally, but especially in extremely delicate regions of the world, such as the Indonesian islands.

    AMERICAN MUSEUM Novltates PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10024 Number 3064, 34 pp., 8 figures, 2 tables June 10, 1993 Philippine Rodents: Chromosomal Characteristics and Their Significance for Phylogenetic Inference Among 13 Species (Rodentia: Muridae: Murinae) ERIC A. RICKART1 AND GUY G. MUSSER2 ABSTRACT Karyotypes are reported for 13 murines be- bers of 50 and 88, respectively, indicating longing to the endemic Philippine genera Apomys, substantial chromosomal variability within that Archboldomys, Batomys, Bullimus, Chrotomys, genus. Archboldomys (2N = 26, FN = 43) has an Phloeomys, and Rhynchomys, and the widespread aberrant sex chromosome system and a karyotype genus Rattus. The karyotype of Phloeomys cum- that is substantially different from other taxa stud- ingi (2N = 44, FN = 66) differs from that of P. ied. The karyotype ofBullimus bagobus (2N = 42, pallidus (2N = 40, FN = 60), and both are chro- FN = ca. 58) is numerically similar to that of the mosomally distinct from other taxa examined. Two native Rattus everetti and the two non-native spe- species of Batomys (2N = 52), Chrotomys gon- cies ofRattus, R. tanezumi and R. exulans. Chro- zalesi (2N = 44), Rhynchomys isarogensis (2N = mosomal data corroborate some phylogenetic re- 44), and Apomys musculus (2N = 42) have FN = lationships inferred from morphology, and support 52-53 and a predominance of telocentric chro- the hypothesis that the Philippine murid fauna is mosomes. Two other species ofApomys have dip- composed of separate clades representing inde- loid numbers of30 and 44, and fundamental num- pendent ancestral invasions of the archipelago.

  • Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination-Still Not There
    Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination‐Still Not There Ibrahim Ahmad BAJUNID INTI Laureate University Page | 0 Abstract We have robust partial knowledge about what we know and in this strength, we are proud and arrogant about what we do. However, we are ignorant of alternatives and complementary knowledge, education and training. We know little of alternative or complementary medicine‐Chinese traditional medicine, Ayurveda and Islamic traditional medicine. We know little of the arts of self‐defence and the martial masters, and other training forms beyond WestPoint and Sandhurst. It is possible that people from the dominant knowledge mainstream will go through their lives without “having had to operate outside of the dominant knowledge systems or shift the paradigm through which a [person] views the world in order to make sense of things.” Indigenous Knowledge is not about the aborigines as subjects but it is about man’s knowledge from another perspective, at the fringe of, or aside of dominant knowledge systems. It is about the use of the inherited and evolving knowledge corpuses. To understand the importance of the knowledge of “the other” we have to understand their ways of knowing, of happying, of facing the trials and tribulations of change, often disruptive to their ecology. In some ways, in popular literature regarding the natives, (or in some other art forms), actors are made to articulate some perspectives and wisdom of native, marginalized and alienated people. The disconnect in contemporary civilization, especially, in educational enterprises is not about merely the obsolescence of their tools or thoughts, but about the embedded strengths of the native potentials and philosophies, interpretations and meaning‐findings in their lives.

A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata). Caribbean Herpetology 49:1–61. Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen.
