  • Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics Kenneth R
    THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL ETHICS SERIES Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics Kenneth R. Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • Effect of Nose Ringing and Stocking Rate of Pregnant and Lactating Outdoor Sows on Exploratory Behaviour, Grass Cover and Nutrient Loss Potential
    Livestock Science 104 (2006) 91–102 www.elsevier.com/locate/livsci Effect of nose ringing and stocking rate of pregnant and lactating outdoor sows on exploratory behaviour, grass cover and nutrient loss potential J.

Hermansen a a Department of Agroecology, Research Centre Foulum, Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, PO Box 50, 8830 Tjele, Denmark b Department of Animal Health, Welfare and Nutrition, Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, PO Box 50, 8830 Tjele, Denmark Received 6 December 2005; received in revised form 3 March 2006; accepted 13 March 2006 Abstract Nose ringing of outdoor sows is practiced to reduce grass sward damage for environmental reasons but conflicts with natural behaviour considerations. We investigated effects of ringing pregnant and lactating outdoor sows on foraging and explorative behaviour, grass cover and nutrient deposition. The experiment included both ringed and unringed sows. For unringed sows the paddocks were either used continuously throughout the experiment or divided into two and sows were moved half way through the experimental period leaving the first used paddock for regrowth. Ringing did not prevent the sow’s rooting, but rooting was less pronounced, when sows were ringed. On average, ringing increased grass cover from 14% to 38% and from 64% to 81% in paddocks with pregnant and lactating sows, respectively. In paddocks with unringed sows kept at a double density and followed by a resting period, the grass cover in autumn was restored to a high degree in paddocks with pregnant sows. In lactating sow paddocks the level of inorganic N was high but with no significant relation to extent of grass cover.

  • Primates of the Southern Mentawai Islands
    Primate Conservation 2018 (32): 193-203 The Status of Primates in the Southern Mentawai Islands, Indonesia Ahmad Yanuar1 and Jatna Supriatna2 1Department of Biology and Post-graduate Program in Biology Conservation, Tropical Biodiversity Conservation Center- Universitas Nasional, Jl. RM. Harsono, Jakarta, Indonesia 2Department of Biology, FMIPA and Research Center for Climate Change, University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia Abstract: Populations of the primates native to the Mentawai Islands—Kloss’ gibbon Hylobates klossii, the Mentawai langur Presbytis potenziani, the Mentawai pig-tailed macaque Macaca pagensis, and the snub-nosed pig-tailed monkey Simias con- color—persist in disturbed and undisturbed forests and forest patches in Sipora, North Pagai and South Pagai. We used the line-transect method to survey primates in Sipora and the Pagai Islands and estimate their population densities. We walked 157.5 km and 185.6 km of line transects on Sipora and on the Pagai Islands, respectively, and obtained 93 sightings on Sipora and 109 sightings on the Pagai Islands. On Sipora, we estimated population densities for H. klossii, P. potenziani, and S. concolor in an area of 9.5 km², and M. pagensis in an area of 12.6 km². On the Pagai Islands, we estimated the population densities of the four primates in an area of 11.1 km². Simias concolor was found to have the lowest group densities on Sipora, whilst P. potenziani had the highest group densities. On the Pagai Islands, H. klossii was the least abundant and M. pagensis had the highest group densities. Primate populations, notably of the snub-nosed pig-tailed monkey and Kloss’ gibbon, are reduced and threatened on the southern Mentawai Islands.

  • Multistep Routes of Capuchin Monkeys in a Laser Pointer Traveling
    American Journal of Primatology 76:828–841 (2014) RESEARCH ARTICLE Multi‐Step Routes of Capuchin Monkeys in a Laser Pointer Traveling Salesman Task ALLISON M. HOWARD* AND DOROTHY M. FRAGASZY Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia Prior studies have claimed that nonhuman primates plan their routes multiple steps in advance. However, a recent reexamination of multi‐step route planning in nonhuman primates indicated that there is no evidence for planning more than one step ahead. We tested multi‐step route planning in capuchin monkeys using a pointing device to “travel” to distal targets while stationary. This device enabled us to determine whether capuchins distinguish the spatial relationship between goals and themselves and spatial relationships between goals and the laser dot, allocentrically. In Experiment 1, two subjects were presented with identical food items in Near‐Far (one item nearer to subject) and Equidistant (both items equidistant from subject) conditions with a laser dot visible between the items. Subjects moved the laser dot to the items using a joystick. In the Near‐Far condition, one subject demonstrated a bias for items closest to self but the other subject chose efficiently. In the second experiment, subjects retrieved three food items in similar Near‐Far and Equidistant arrangements. Both subjects preferred food items nearest the laser dot and showed no evidence of multi‐step route planning. We conclude that these capuchins do not make choices on the basis of multi‐step look ahead strategies. Am. J. Primatol. 76:828–841, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Key words: spatial cognition; traveling salesman problem; multi‐step route; capuchins INTRODUCTION destinations to be visited increases.

Nonhuman primates maintained in captivity have a valuable role in education and research. They are also occasionally used in entertainment. The scope of these activities can range from large, accredited zoos to small “roadside” exhib- its; from national primate research centers to small academic institutions with only a few monkeys; and from movie sets to street performers. Attached to these uses of primates comes an ethical responsibility to provide the animals with an environment that promotes their physical and behavioral health and well-be- ing.

  • Articles on Illicit Wildlife Trading in Asia
    Articles on Illicit Wildlife Trading in Southeast Asia A Trans-border Wildlife Trade Network Unmasked - Part I HOANG QUOC DUNG Tien Phong Newspaper, Hanoi, Viet Nam [email protected] Translation by Do Oanh, Nguyen Thu Trang and Vu Thi Kim Oanh Located near the remote Ka Tum border gate, connecting Viet Nam’s south western Tay Ninh province with Cambodia, a wildlife breeding farm owned by Tan Hoi Dong Co. Ltd. is well known as one of the country’s first farms to obtain CITES1 certification. However, most people not know that it is also an essential transit site for the most sophisticated and largest trans-border wildlife trafficking network in Viet Nam to date. This network involves forged CITES permits from Lao and inaccurate reporting of macaques actually caught in Cambodia, a country with weak wildlife protection enforcement. According to descriptions in some Vietnamese newspapers, the Tan Hoi Dong’s wildlife farm applies modern technology and scientific processes in their efforts to raise and breed snakes, turtles, and monkeys for use in medical testing and research of vaccines. There has been widespread reporting about the farm after the chairman of an American biological company said in a report on the June 1, 2007 that a group of specialists would go to the Ka Tum border gate to inspect the Tan Hoi Dong farm. Unfortunately, as this series of articles will document, the Tan Hoi Dong company and its associates have long used false documents to import wild animals with their breeding program as a cover for allegedly illegal imports.

  • Deforestation of Primate Habitat on Sumatra and Adjacent Islands, Indonesia
    Primate Conservation 2017 (31): 71-82 Deforestation of Primate Habitat on Sumatra and Adjacent Islands, Indonesia Jatna Supriatna1,2, Asri A. Dwiyahreni2, Nurul Winarni2, Sri Mariati3,4 and Chris Margules2,5 ¹Department of Biology, FMIPA Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia 2Research Center for Climate Change, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia 3Postgraduate Program, Trisakti Institute for Tourism, Pesanggrahan, Jakarta, Indonesia 4Conservation International, Indonesia 5Centre for Tropical Environmental and Sustainability Science, College of Marine and Environmental Sciences, James Cook University, Cairns, Australia Abstract: The severe declines in forest cover on Sumatra and adjacent islands have been well-documented but that has not slowed the rate of forest loss. Here we present recent data on deforestation rates and primate distribution patterns to argue, yet again, for action to avert potential extinctions of Sumatran primates in the near future. Maps of forest loss were constructed using GIS and satellite imagery. Maps of primate distributions were estimated from published studies, museum records and expert opinion, and the two were overlaid on one another. The extent of deforestation in the provinces of Sumatra between 2000 and 2012 varied from 3.74% (11,599.9 ha in Lampung) to 49.85% (1,844,804.3 ha in Riau), with the highest rates occurring in the provinces of Riau, Jambi, Bangka Belitung and South Sumatra. During that time six species lost 50% or more of their forest habitat: the Banded langur Presbytis femoralis lost 82%, the Black-and-white langur Presbytis bicolor lost 78%, the Black-crested Sumatran langur Presbytis melalophos and the Bangka slow loris Nycticebus bancanus both lost 62%, the Lar gibbon Hylobates lar lost 54%, and the Pale-thighed langur Presbytis siamensis lost 50%.

Agradeço este trabalho ao meu orientador Ricardo “Pacheco” Machado, pela orientação, liberdade e paciência durante todo este tempo. O apoio e as discussões foram fundamentais para a minha formação acadêmica. Agradeço também ao prof. Fabiano de Melo que me auxiliou na montagem da base de dados, em expedições de campo e com várias correções e ensinamentos científicos. Muito obrigado!! Aos amigos do Laboratório de Planejamento para Conservação da Biodiversidade (LaBIO) que me ensinaram muito e me apoiaram em minhas dúvidas e angústias.
