    Bat Count 2003

    BAT COUNT 2003 Working to promote the long term, sustainable conservation of globally threatened flying foxes in the Philippines, by developing baseline population information, increasing public awareness, and training students and protected area managers in field monitoring techniques. 1 A Terminal Report Submitted by Tammy Mildenstein1, Apolinario B. Cariño2, and Samuel Stier1 1Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana, USA 2Silliman University and Mt. Talinis – Twin Lakes Federation of People’s Organizations, Diputado Extension, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines Photo by: Juan Pablo Moreiras 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large flying foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to deforestation, unregulated hunting, and little conservation commitment from local governments. Despite the fact they are globally endangered and play essential ecological roles in forest regeneration as seed dispersers and pollinators, there have been only a few studies on these bats that provide information useful to their conservation management. Our project aims to promote the conservation of large flying foxes in the Philippines by providing protected area managers with the training and the baseline information necessary to design and implement a long-term management plan for flying foxes. We focused our efforts on the globally endangered Philippine endemics, Acerodon jubatus and Acerodon leucotis, and the bats that commonly roost with them, Pteropus hypomelanus, P. vampyrus lanensis, and P. pumilus which are thought to be declining in the Philippines. Local participation is an integral part of our project. We conducted the first national training workshop on flying fox population counts and conservation at the Subic Bay area.

  • Javan Endemic Mammals Tour Jun 2018

    Javan Endemic Mammals Tour Jun 2018

    Prior to Royle Safaris’ first Javan Rhino Expedition I went out to scout out a couple of locations to try and get as many of the Javan endemic mammals as possible. This would be a good optional extension for anyone booking on future Javan Rhino Expeditions. With the Javan small-toothed palm civet at Gunung Halimum only reliably possible when the fig tree close to the ranger station is fruiting (which it wasn’t when we were here, and the tree had had many of its branches cut off just 4 months ago) I decided to leave this park out from this short scouting trip. We would include this in future extensions as the Javan gibbons are pretty easy and the black-eared pygmy squirrel is fairly reliable. But with gibbons also possible in the other locations and the civet highly unlikely in Gunung Halimum at this moment in time we focused on Gunung Gede and Garout (maybe spelt incorrectly – which is around 8 hours drive from Gunung Gede and home to reportedly reliable Javan slow loris – probably the hardest of the endemics). So with 6 days before our 9 night trip to Ujong Kulon I set myself an ambitious target of 10 endemic mammals (excluding rodents and bats which we would of course try and get too). With the possibility of Javan mousedeer and Javan rhino in Ujong Kulon (a place where the mousedeer are seen more often than others) I hoped for a clean sweep of major endemics – which I was inevitably going to fail on as there is no known place for Javan warty pig (all seem to be Sus scrofa verrucusos in the areas I would be visiting) and ask mentioned the Javan small-toothed palm civet was not possible at Gunung Halimum at the moment and so would require extreme luck to come across one where we were visiting.

Article published on April 11, 2015 Abstract Bats are known to be effective pollinators and seed dispersers that aid in shaping forest ecosystems. This study was conducted using the mist netting method to determine species diversity of fruit bats in three sampling sites in Bega Watershed, Barangay Mabuhay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur, Philippines. One hundred eighteen individuals comprising eight bat species were documented. Four species are endemic to the country of which one species, Ptenochirus minor, is restricted to the Mindanao Faunal Region. Megaerops wetmorei was the only species recorded with vulnerable status but was present in all sampling sites. Seriation analysis using Paleontological Statistics Software showed that there is an increasing trend of species richness from sampling sites 1 to 3. Moderate diversity was observed for the whole area (H’=2.004) and site 3 was the most diverse among all sites. Cluster analysis showed that sites 2 and 3 have more similar species composition. The presence of endemic and vulnerable species suggests that Bega watershed is an area of conservation importance. *Corresponding Author: Olga M.

Indeed, the visual system is genes in bats, which are considered the sensory specialists (11) so adaptive that the reconstruction of intact ancestral opsin genes and arguably show the greatest adaptation for nocturnality of all has been used to reject nocturnality in ancestral primates.
