Hornbills of Borneo
The following two species can be easily confused. They can be recognized If you want to support Hornbill Conservation in Sabah, please contact from other hornbill species by the yellow coloration around the head and neck in Marc Ancrenaz at Hutan Kinabatangan Orangutan Conservation Project: the males. The females have black heads and faces and blue throat pouches. [email protected] HORNBILLS OF BORNEO Wrinkled hornbill (Aceros corrugatus): A large, mainly black hornbill whose tail is mostly white with some black at the base. Males have a yellow bill and more prominent reddish casque while females have an all yellow bill and casque. SABAH MALAYSIA The presence of hornbills in the Kinabatangan area is an indication that the surrounding habitat is healthy. Hornbills need forests for nesting and food. Forests need hornbills for dispersal of seeds. And the local people need the forests for wood Wreathed hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus): A large, primarily black hornbill products, clean water and clean air. They are all connected: whose tail is all white with no black at the base. Both sexes have a pale bill with a small casque and a dark streak/mark on the throat pouch. people, hornbills and forests! Eight different hornbill species occur in Borneo and all are found in Kinabatangan. All are protected from hunting and/or disturbance. By fostering an awareness and concern of their presence in this region, hornbill conservation will be ensured for future generations.

Birds play a pivotal role in the ecosystem, but in disturbed areas their roles may be limited due to the changes of their natural habitats. This paper studies the birds' habitats in Simalungun and Asahan Districts, North Sumatra. The study was conducted in four habitats: natural forest, rubber agroforests, rubber monoculture plantations and emplacement areas. The birds were observed using descriptive survey methods by implementing a quick biodiversity survey, data were collected along one km transect. The results showed that in total, 142 species of birds from 42 families were observed in the four habitats. Natural forests had the highest diversity of bird species, followed by rubber agroforests, emplacement areas and rubber plantations, with a Shannon-Wiener index of 3.8, 3.6, 3.0 and 2.9, respectively. Regarding the IUCN red list species, 12 bird species of near- threatened status and 2 species of vulnerable status were recorded. Based on CITES categories, one species was listed in the Appendix I, 12 species were classified in Appendix II and 26 bird species were protected under Indonesian regulations. -

Consequences of Female Nest Confinement in Yellow Billed Hornbills
Conflict & Communication: Consequences Of Female Nest Confinement In Yellow Billed Hornbills Michael Joseph Finnie This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Clare College September 2012 Michael Joseph Finnie i Preface This dissertation is my own work and contains nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration with others, except as specified in the text and acknowledgements. The total length of the text does not exceed 60,000 words, including the bibliography and appendices. No part of this dissertation has been submitted to any other university in application for a higher degree. ii Conflict & Communication: Consequences Of Female Nest Confinement In Yellow-Billed Hornbills Summary The most striking feature of hornbills (Bucerotiformes) is their unusual nesting behaviour. Before laying, a female hornbill enters the nest in a tree cavity. Uniquely among birds, she then seals the nest entrance using her faeces and locally available materials, leaving a narrow gap only 1 cm wide. Through this tiny slit, the female is totally dependent on her mate for between 40 days in the smallest hornbills and up to 130 days in the largest. Once walled in the nest, the female will lay her eggs and shed all of her wing and tail feathers. The male then becomes completely responsible for provisioning his mate and a few weeks later, the chicks. When her feathers have regrown, the female breaks out of the nest, often before the chicks are fully grown. The chicks then reseal the entrance until they too are ready to fledge. This thesis describes attempts to better understand the nesting behaviour of hornbills. -

Torres2* 1 Institute for Sustainable Resources, University College London, London, UK 2 Parabukas, Inc., Manila, Philippines *joint first-authors. Correspondence to [email protected] or [email protected]. Abstract The Philippines is home to a high number of unique species that can be found nowhere else in the world. However, its unique species and ecosystems are at high risk because of habitat loss and degradation. Agricultural land use and land use change are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Philippines. In the Philippines, an important area that requires focus is plantation agriculture (monocropping) for high-value crops such as banana and pineapple, which are grown widely in the country, particularly in the island of Mindanao. The intensive nature of plantation agriculture means that it has many adverse effects on the environment while producing goods and commodities that are typically for trade and export with international partners. This means that local biodiversity losses may be driven by countries thousands of kilometers away. While many global studies have attempted to understand how biodiversity impacts are embodied within agricultural goods, there are few studies that have investigated the Philippines specifically. -
Conserving Hornbills in the Urban Environment
ECOLOGY 130 Special Ecology Feature: Conserving Hornbills in the Urban Environment Special Ecology Feature Conserving Hornbills in the Urban Environment Text by Robert Teo Photography as credited CITYGREEN #4 A Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology Publication 131 Introduction Known as “farmers of the forest”, hornbills play a crucial role in the spread and germination of the seeds from big-fruited forest trees. There are 54 species of hornbills in the world—23 in Africa and 31 in Asia (12 in Southeast Asia). Three species are believed to be native to Singapore—the Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albiros- tris), Rhinoceros Hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros), and Helmeted Hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil). Only the Oriental Pied Hornbill, a species common in Southeast Asia, remains extant in Singapore. A generally black and white bird, with a pale yellow bill, and white facial markings, the Oriental Pied Hornbill is unmistakable (Fig. 1). Measuring over one metre from bill to tail, it is one of Singapore’s larger and more conspicuous birds. Compared to other hornbills in the world, however, it is one of the smaller and less colourful species. Its loud, cackling call is unmistakable. The species is sexually dimorphic—males are physically distinguishable from females (Fig. 2). When mature, the male is larger than the female, and has a larger, more pronouncedly “horned” casque. In addition, females have diffuse dark brown or reddish colouration on the lower bill near the gape, as well as a black edge along the dorsal part of the bill. Most Asian hornbills require large areas of high forest to survive, but the Oriental Pied Hornbill is very adaptable.
