Understanding the abundance and distribution of these species is essential for conservation and management. We assessed the occurrence of terrestrial mammals within two commercial forest reserves in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. In particular, we investigated the habitat associations of the Sunda stink-badger, whose patchy distribution is not well understood. To improve detection probability and precision of model parameters, we deployed 2 camera-traps at sample stations. Our results showed that Sunda stink-badgers are likely dietary and habitat generalists, that may benefit from forest disturbance. Additionally, we found that unguligrade species were associated with high detection probability when data from one camera trap was considered and inclusion of a second camera further increased the detectability of ungulates compared to all other species. We suggest that future studies consider physical characteristics of focal species to maximize effectiveness of camera effort and ensure that data collection is efficient and meets project needs. DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my family, Samson and Frances Wong, for their unconditional love and never-ending support in all my aspirations. To Linda Micke and friends, mentors, and colleagues at the San Francisco Zoo for their guidance, patience, and overwhelming support. Finally, I dedicate this thesis to the Hose’s Civet and Small Carnivore Project, Borneo team.

  • A Revised Global Conservation Assessment of the Javan Ferret Badger Melogale Orientalis
    Wilianto & Wibisono SHORT COMMUNICATION A revised global conservation assessment of the Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis Erwin WILIANTO1* & Hariyo T WIBISONO1, 2 Abstract. 1. Sumatran Tiger Conservation Forum In 2008, Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis was categorised as Data Deficient by The IUCN (HarimauKita), Jl. Samiaji III No. 10, Red List of Threatened Species, indicating that there was too little relevant information to assess its Bantarjati, Bogor, 16153, West Java, conservation status. According to the 2008 assessment, its known distribution was restricted to parts Indonesia. of the islands of Java and Bali with no records from Central Java and few, if any, explicitly from the lowlands or far from natural forest. During 2004–2014, 17 opportunistic Javan Ferret Badger records were obtained from various habitats, from 100 to nearly 2000 m altitude. These included 2. four records in Central Java and the adjacent Yogyakarta Special Region, filling in a gap in the Fauna & Flora International – Indonesia species’ known range. West Java records included three locations below 500 m altitude. Several Programme, Komplek Margasatwa records were from around villages, up to 5–8 km from the closest natural forest, indicating that this Baru No 7A, Jl. Margasatwa Raya, species uses heavily human-altered areas. This evidence of a wider altitudinal and spatial Jakarta, 12450, Indonesia distribution, and use of highly human-modified habitats, allowed re-categorisation in 2016 on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern.

    Records of Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from Rajuk Forest, Malinau, North Kalimantan, Indonesia RUSTAM1 and A. J. GIORDANO2 Abstract Several records of the little known Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from North Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo were gathered during a pilot survey of local mammals.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013
    Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013 Dave D Redfield Mammal Tour Picture: Sunda Flying Lemur (Colugo) with young by Richard White Report compiled by Richard White The story: 5 islands, 22 days and 52 mammals... A journey to a land where lizards fly, squirrels are the size of mice, civets look like otters and deer are no bigger than small annoying poodles...Indonesia! Where did this all begin...? In late June I was thinking of heading to Asia for a break. After yet another Tasmanian winter I wanted to sweat, get soaked in a tropical rain shower, get hammered by mosquitoes...I wanted to eat food with my hands (and not get stared at), wear sandals, drink cheap beer...and of course experience an amazing diversity of life. While researching some options I contacted my former employer and good friend Adam Riley from Rockjumper Birding Tours/Indri and he suggested I touch base with a client that I had arranged trips for before. The client (and now friend!) in question, Dave Redfield, has seen an aPD]LQJYDULHW\RIWKHZRUOG¶VPDPPDO species but, at that time, had yet to visit Indonesia. So, armed with a target list and a 22 day budget, I sat down and began researching and designing a tour in search of a select suit of mammal species for Dave. Time, terrain, concentration of species and cost were considered. We settled on a few days in mammal hotspots on Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and finally Bali, in that order. %DOLZDVDOVRFKRVHQDVDJRRGSODFHWRZLQGGRZQDIWHUµURXJKLQJLW¶ though the rest of Indonesia. It is also worth mentioning that Dave, realising that seeing all the ZRUOG¶Vmammals in the wild is an impossible target, does count mammals seen in captivity; the target list of species was thus not what one might have expected (for example, a Red Spiny Mouse was a priority but Babirusa was not).

Standard sources The Sunda Stink-badger (Teledu) imply that it occurs throughout Sarawak, but this stance is not supported by the few, and geographically restricted records here traced in a review of records from the state. Historical specimens and recent sightings, in the context of survey effort across the state, suggest that Sunda Stink-badger does not occur south of Miri Division, and may even be erratic in occurrence outside Keywordsthe northernmost: Borneo, part of the state.

    BORNEAN MAMMAL TOUR 2017 - A Quest For The Elusive Mammals of The Bornean Rainforest Marbled Cat- © Jo Dale Jo Dale, Margarita Steinhardt, Jens Hauser, Steve Morgan February- March 2017 Bornean Mammal Tour 2017 1 Background The tour was the brainchild of Jo Dale and was aimed at finding a number of the most difficult and elusive mammals of Borneo. Cats were to be a major objective, in particular Clouded Leopard, Marbled Cat and Leopard Cat, though other desirable species such as Binturong, Sunbear and Orangutan were also very much on the agenda. Jens Hauser and Margarita Steinhardt signed up to join Jo and, at the last minute, this trio were joined by Steve Morgan. The logistics on the ground were run by Adventure Alternative Borneo who supplied the guide, Mike Gordon, and drivers. The main tour ran from 16/2/17 to 3/3/17. The tour took in Danum Valley, the Kinabatangan River, and Deramakot Forest Reserve. Steve only joined the main group for the Deramakot leg, joining the group on 22/2/17 at Telupid. 1 Jo arrived the night of 12/2/17 and stayed at Hotel Eden 54 in Kota Kinabalu for the first four nights- pre-tour notes for Jo are in Annex 4. Steve arrived early and spent the time at Poring and Jens also spent a couple of weeks independently of the group, and at the end of the tour, went on independently to visit Sepilok. 2 Results The group saw 47 species of mammal. We failed to find Clouded Leopard but took the best possible consolation prize in Marbled Cat, which we watched for over thirty minutes at quite close range.
