  • Dietary Behavior of the Mangrove Monitor Lizard (Varanus Indicus)
    DIETARY BEHAVIOR OF THE MANGROVE MONITOR LIZARD (VARANUS INDICUS) ON COCOS ISLAND, GUAM, AND STRATEGIES FOR VARANUS INDICUS ERADICATION A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT HILO IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TROPICAL CONSERVATION BIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MAY 2016 By Seamus P. Ehrhard Thesis Committee: William Mautz, Chairperson Donald Price Patrick Hart Acknowledgements I would like to thank Guam’s Department of Agriculture, the Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, and wildlife biologist, Diane Vice, for financial assistance, research materials, and for offering me additional staffing, which greatly aided my fieldwork on Guam. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. William Mautz for his consistent help and effort, which exceeded all expectations of an advisor, and without which I surely would have not completed my research or been inspired to follow my passion of herpetology to the near ends of the earth. 2 Abstract The mangrove monitor lizard (Varanus indicus), a large invasive predator, can be found on all areas of the 38.6 ha Cocos Island at an estimated density, in October 2011, of 6 V. Indicus per hectare on the island. Plans for the release of the endangered Guam rail (Gallirallus owstoni) on Cocos Island required the culling of V. Indicus, because the lizards are known to consume birds and bird eggs. Cocos Island has 7 different habitats; resort/horticulture, Casuarina forest, mixed strand forest, Pemphis scrub, Scaevola scrub, sand/open area, and wetlands. I removed as many V. Indicus as possible from the three principal habitats; Casuarina forest, mixed scrub forest, and a garbage dump (resort/horticulture) using six different trapping methods.

Edward H. Huijbens Examiner: dr. ir. Martijn Duineveld Wageningen University and Research Department of Environmental Science Cultural Geography Chair Group Master of Science in Tourism, Society and Environment i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Tourism has been an inseparable aspect of my life, starting with having a passion for travelling until I decided to take a big step to study about it back when I was in vocational high school. I would say, learning tourism was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life considering opportunities and experiences which I encountered on the process. I could recall that four years ago, I was saying to myself that finishing bachelor would be my last academic-related goal in my life. However, today, I know that I was wrong. With the fact that the world and the industry are progressing and I raise my self-awareness that I know nothing, here I am today taking my words back and as I am heading towards the final chapter from one of the most exciting journeys in my life – pursuing a master degree in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Never say never. In completing this thesis, I received countless assistances and helps from people that I would like to mention. Firstly, I would not be at this point in my life without the blessing and prayers from my parents, grandma, and family.

  • KOMODO DRAGON Varanus Komodoensis
    KOMODO DRAGON Varanus komodoensis Location: The Komodo dragon (or ora) can be found in the lesser Sunda region of the Indonesian archipelago. This are includes the islands of Komodo, Flores, Rinca and Padar. Komodo is the largest of the islands, measuring roughly 20 miles by 12 miles. The Komodo dragon prefers to inhabit open lowland areas with tall grasses and bushes, but is also found on the beaches and in dry riverbeds. Young Komodo dragons are arboreal and live in forested regions. Diet: Carrion is a large part of the diet of adult Komodo dragons. It is common for them to attack and eat a variety of large prey, including goats, pigs, deer, wild boar, water buffalo and smaller Komodo dragons. Juveniles are more mobile than adults are, actively hunting and feeding on insects, small geckos, rats, shrews, and ground-nesting birds and their eggs. Komodo dragons ambush large prey and deliver a bite. They follow the injured animal until it succumbs to either blood loss or infection. The Komodo dragons’ saliva contains more than 50 different strains of bacteria that results in the death of prey from infection after being bitten. The Komodo dragon locates its prey by following a scent trail. Dragons frequently feed in groups; as many as 8 of them have been observed around a bulky carcass. The larger lizards monopolize the food, keeping younger individuals away by intimidating them or beating them off with sideways sweeps of their powerful tails. Once the bigger animals have finished eating, the smaller dragons are able to come in and feed.

We carried out a study based on transects through sampling plots and single-catch trapping events to assess the extent to which the distribution of V. komodoensis has changed since the last comprehensive survey was conducted, in 1971. We also report on the status of the habitat and identify conservation priorities. Resident Komo do monitor populations are now found on only four islands in Komodo National Park and on the island of Flores in south-east Indonesia. Average population density estimates recorded on Flores were more than 60% lower than those reported forKomodo National Park. Habitat fragmentation and poaching of prey species currently represent the main threats to the Komodo monitor, and protection of monsoon forestin west and north Flores is crucial forthe long-term conservation of the species.

Found everywhere but the coldest and highest places on the planet, 8,000 species make squamates more diverse than mammals. Remarkable adaptations in behavior, shape, movement, and feeding contribute to the success of this huge and ancient group. BEHAVIOR Over 45O species of snakes (yet only two species of lizards) An animal’s ability to sense and respond to its environment is are considered to be dangerously venomous. Snake venom is a crucial for survival. Some squamates, like iguanas, rely heavily poisonous “soup” of enzymes with harmful effects—including on vision to locate food, and use their pliable tongues to grab nervous system failure and tissue damage—that subdue prey. it. Other squamates, like snakes, evolved effective chemore- The venom also begins to break down the prey from the inside ception and use their smooth hard tongues to transfer before the snake starts to eat it. Venom is delivered through a molecular clues from the environment to sensory organs in wide array of teeth.

  • Wildlife-Animal Tourism Development and Lessons from Indonesia
    69 C-02 WILDLIFE-ANIMAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND LESSONS FROM INDONESIA Budi Guntoro1 1Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Jl. Fauna 3, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 55281 (E-mail: [email protected]) Introduction Wildlife-animal tourism encompasses a range of activities, including bird watching, wildlife viewing, photographic and walking safaris, reef diving, whale watching, trophy hunting and sport fishing. Wildlife tourism may be achieved through many different forms of transport, including on foot, by vehicle, boat or balloon. Wildlife tourism may be purposeful or may also include tourists who visit wildlife areas as an incidental part of a broader trip. Business trips may also involve visits to wildlife areas that are casual diversions rather than the prime motivation for visiting a country. Wildlife tourism is an important component of the international and domestic tourism industry. Overall, depending on the region, wildlife tourism accounts for 20 to 40 per cent of international tourism (Filion et al.1992; Giongo et al.1993, CEP 1994). The scale of wildlife tourism is even larger if domestic wildlife tourism is taken into consideration. However, statistics are often not available to determine what proportion of wildlife tourism is domestic in origin, but it is likely to be very high in some countries. As with tourism generally, wildlife tourism is likely to increase in importance and scale (Giongo et al. 1993). Furthermore, it may also attract an increasing market share, as suggested by a number of surveys indicating an increasing interest in wildlife among tourists. The last 20 years have seen a shift in favoured tourism destinations towards developing countries, especially those rich in biodiversity.
