  • Marbled Cat Pardofelis Marmorata at Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri, Cambodia
    SEAVR 2016: 72-74 ISSN : 2424-8525 Date of publication: 13 May 2016. Hosted online by ecologyasia.com Marbled Cat Pardofelis marmorata at Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri, Cambodia Gregory Edward McCann greg.mccann1 @ gmail.com Observer: Gregory Edward McCann (camera trap installer) Photographs by: Habitat ID (www.habitatid.org) & Virachey National Park staff. Subject identified by: Gregory Edward McCann. Location: Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. Elevation: 1,455 metres. Habitat: Bamboo-dominated forest on mountain ridge. Date and time: 24 January 2016, 13:29 hrs. Identity of subject: Marbled Cat, Pardofelis marmorata (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae). Description of record: A lone Marbled Cat was photographed by camera trap in Virachey National Park (VNP), on the summit of Phnom Haling, one of the highest mountain ridges in northeast Cambodia, in an area dominated by bamboo (Figs. 1 and 2.). Fig. 1 : Full frame camera trap image. © Gregory Edward McCann 72 Fig. 2 : Cropped camera trap image. © Gregory Edward McCann Remarks: The subject is identified as a Marbled Cat Pardofelis marmorata based on its fur patterning, which includes large, dark blotches on its limbs, and its stocky shape. In addition the 'cloudy' pattern of lines on its back distinguishes it from the larger Clouded Leopard Neofelis nebulosa. It appears to be an adult and, based on its posture and the condition of its coat, it seems to be in healthy condition. Preliminary results of an on-going camera trapping program in VNP (which commenced in January 2014) have, as of March 2016, also resulted in 13 other trigger events of Marbled Cat, from seven different camera stations.

  • The Phylogenetic Roots of Human Lethal Violence José María Gómez1,2, Miguel Verdú3, Adela González-Megías4 & Marcos Méndez5
    LETTER doi:10.1038/nature19758 The phylogenetic roots of human lethal violence José María Gómez1,2, Miguel Verdú3, Adela González-Megías4 & Marcos Méndez5 The psychological, sociological and evolutionary roots of 600 human populations, ranging from the Palaeolithic era to the present conspecific violence in humans are still debated, despite attracting (Supplementary Information section 9c). The level of lethal violence the attention of intellectuals for over two millennia1–11. Here we was defined as the probability of dying from intraspecific violence propose a conceptual approach towards understanding these roots compared to all other causes. More specifically, we calculated the level based on the assumption that aggression in mammals, including of lethal violence as the percentage, with respect to all documented humans, has a significant phylogenetic component. By compiling sources of mortality, of total deaths due to conspecifics (these sources of mortality from a comprehensive sample of mammals, were infanticide, cannibalism, inter-group aggression and any other we assessed the percentage of deaths due to conspecifics and, type of intraspecific killings in non-human mammals; war, homicide, using phylogenetic comparative tools, predicted this value for infanticide, execution, and any other kind of intentional conspecific humans. The proportion of human deaths phylogenetically killing in humans). predicted to be caused by interpersonal violence stood at 2%. Lethal violence is reported for almost 40% of the studied mammal This value was similar to the one phylogenetically inferred for species (Supplementary Information section 9a). This is probably the evolutionary ancestor of primates and apes, indicating that a an underestimation, because information is not available for many certain level of lethal violence arises owing to our position within species.

  • Terrestrial Mammal Community Richness and Temporal Overlap Between Tigers and Other Carnivores in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Sumatra
    Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 43.1 (2020) 97 Terrestrial mammal community richness and temporal overlap between tigers and other carnivores in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Sumatra M. L. Allen, M. C. Sibarani, L. Utoyo, M. Krofel Allen, M. L., Sibarani, M. C., Utoyo, L., Krofel, M., 2020. Terrestrial mammal community richness and temporal overlap between tigers and other carnivores in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Sumatra. Animal Biodi- versity and Conservation, 43.1: 97–107, DOI: https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2020.43.0097 Abstract Terrestrial mammal community richness and temporal overlap between tigers and other carnivores in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Sumatra. Rapid and widespread biodiversity losses around the world make it important to survey and monitor endangered species, especially in biodiversity hotspots. Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) is one of the largest conserved areas on the island of Sumatra, and is important for the conservation of many threatened species. Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae) are critically endangered and serve as an umbrella species for conservation, but may also affect the activity and distribution of other carnivores. We deployed camera traps for 8 years in an area of Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) with little human activity to document the local terrestrial mammal community and investigate tiger spatial and temporal overlap with other carnivore species. We detected 39 mammal species including Sumatran tiger and several other threatened mammals. Annual species richness averaged 21.5 (range 19–24) mammals, and re- mained stable over time. The mammal order significantly affected annual detection of species and the number of cameras where a species was detected, while species conservation status did not.
