Ecotone - convergence of two or more types of habitats. Edge Effect - ability to support larger and varied wildlife population along edges or boundaries where one kind of land use starts and another stops, than either adjoining community. Endangered species - taxa in danger of extinction and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue operating. Indeterminate - taxa known to be endangered, vulnerable or rare but where there is not enough information to say which of the three categories is appropriate. Rare species - taxa that is usually localized within restricted range or habitats and presently not endangered, vulnerable but at risk. Vulnerable species - taxa in danger of extinction and whose survival is unlikely to move into the endangered category in the near future if the causal factors continue operating. Species dominance - condition in communities in which one or more species have considerable influence upon the existence of associated species. ________________________________________________________________________ viii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This fauna survey in the municipality of Culion is part of the Research and Survey Component under ECAN Zoning of the Sustainable Environmental Management Project for Northern Palawan. The primary goal is towards the attainment of sustainable development in the area through appropriate use of land and coastal waters, natural resources, protection, conservation and rehabilitation of the natural environment. Specifically, this survey was designed to: 1) ascertain the occurrence and distribution of fauna resources in the area; 2) characterize the fauna resources; 3) provide inputs in the mapping of core zones; 4) provide recommendations to protect the rare, threatened and endangered species. A baseline fauna inventory was conducted in the municipality of Culion during the month of May 2003. The survey covered a total of 10 two-km transects from four barangay. Habitat types included primary and secondary forests, brushland and grassland areas, ricefields, bamboo stands, plantations and barren lands. Interviews with the local people provided additional information regarding the existence of wildlife within the survey sites particularly, the presence of threatened and other protected species. The survey revealed 80 species of fauna of which 66 are birds, 5 mammals and 9 are herps (amphibians and reptiles). This represents 22.1 % of northern Palawan’s recorded wildlife species. Thirty-one respondents were interviewed during the survey.. High indices of fauna diversity were evident in the following order of importance of habitat types: brushland-forest, agroforest-forest and forest-grassland. Altitudinal distribution of species did not show a clear pattern, however, in both study areas, the endangered Blue-naped and vulnerable Racquet-tail Parrots were found practically in all elevations. Insectivores and carnivores dominated among the listed fauna which could be interpreted as more prey species being available within the area. However, pollinators were least represented, suggesting that pollen resources are either limited or seasonal. Only one core zone was identified for Culion which was the entire barangay of Halsey. But this may expanded to include the whole lower peninsula. Destructive practices through kaingin and indiscriminate cutting of trees were major factors that contributed to the threatened status of a number of wildlife species including their respective habitats. Similarly, hunting by some local residents for food, pet and trading had brought about wildlife decimations. ________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ix 1.0 INTRODUCTION The municipality of Culion is part of the Calamianes Islands and Cuyo-Agutaya Groups. Culion has a municipal water covering about 750 sq km or almost 75,000 hectares. It has a land area of 45,600 has and is second largest of the Calamianes Group of Islands in northern Palawan. There are patches of open canopy broadleaf lowland forest which are found along ridges and on flat areas. Culion is listed as one of the key conservation sites in the Philippines (Collar, et. al., 1999). Culion’s wildlife shares with Busuanga and Coron with most of the threatened and restricted-range birds (Mallari, et al., 2001), namely: • Palawan Peacock Pheasant (Polyplectron emphanum) • Blue-headed Racquet-tail (Prioniturus platenae) • Palawan Hornbill (Anthracoceros marchei) • Philippine Cockatoo (Cacatua haematurophygia) • Yellow-throated Leafbird (Chloropsis palawanensis) • White-vented Shama (Copsychus niger) • Palawan Blue-flycatcher (Cyornis lemprieri) • Blue-paradise-flycatcher (Tersiphone cyanescens) • Palawan Flowerpecker (Prionochilus plateni) Also included as important wildlife in Culion are the endangered Calamian Hog- deer (Cervus calamianensis) and the Bearded Pig (Sus barbatus). Found off Culion waters are populations of the Bottle-nosed Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). The endemic and rare Philippine Discoglossid Frog (Barbourula busuangensis) is likewise recorded in the island. The need for alternative livelihood had brought local residents and migrants from poaching and encroachment of the island’s natural habitats. These had brought serious threats to its wildlife resources. Gathering of timber and other forest products had caused extensive deforestation. It paved the way for more areas that are rapidly converted to kaingin farms. Culion is listed as one of the second priority sites of the ECAN project. Core zone establishment is hoped to provide full protection of its wildlife and its habitat. The fauna inventory report is expected to generate data for this purpose. 2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Establishment of Transects and Recording of Data A baseline survey was conducted

  • Biogeography of Mammals in SE Asia: Estimates of Rates of Colonization, Extinction and Speciation
    Biological Journal oflhe Linnean Sociely (1986), 28, 127-165. With 8 figures Biogeography of mammals in SE Asia: estimates of rates of colonization, extinction and speciation LAWRENCE R. HEANEY Museum of <oology and Division of Biological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, U.S.A. Accepted for publication I4 February 1986 Four categories of islands in SE Asia may be identified on the basis of their histories of landbridge connections. Those islands on the shallow, continental Sunda Shelf were joined to the Asian mainland by a broad landbridge during the late Pleistocene; other islands were connected to the Sunda Shelf by a middle Pleistocene landbridge; some were parts of larger oceanic islands; and others remained as isolated oceanic islands. The limits of late Pleistocene islands, defined by the 120 ni bathymetric line, are highly concordant with the limits of faunal regions. Faunal variation among non-volant mammals is high between faunal regions and low within the faunal regions; endcmism of faunal regions characteristically exceeds 70%. Small and geologically young oceanic islands are depauperate; larger and older islands are more species-rich. The number of endemic species is correlated with island area; however, continental shelf islands less than 125000 km2 do not have endemic species, whereas isolated oceanic islands as small as 47 km2 often have endemic species. Geologirally old oceanic islands have many endemic species, whereas young oceanic islands have few endemic species. Colonization across sea channels that were 5-25 km wide during the Pleistocene has been low, with a rate of about 1-2/500000 years.

  • Checklist of the Birds of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands
    Checklist of the Birds of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Christmas Island Emerald Dove feathers R.E. Johnstone and J.C. Darnell Collections and Research, Western Australian Museum, Kew Street, Welshpool, WA 6106 †June 2021 ____________________________________ This checklist covers Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the tropical eastern Indian Ocean and their surrounding seas. Christmas Island lies 290 km south of Java (Indonesia) and 1,400 km north-west of Western Australia. It is a small uplifted volcanic island (137 km² in area) and is administered by Western Australia as an External Territory of Australia. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands lie 970 km west of Christmas Island and 2,100 km north-west of Western Australia. They comprise two low-lying atolls, a large southern atoll (Cocos) consisting of about 26 islands around a horseshoe-shaped lagoon and a smaller North Keeling Island lying 25 km to the north. They cover a land area of about 14 km² and are also administered by Western Australia as an External Territory of Australia. The main aim of this work is to provide an up-to-date checklist of the birds of this region to include the large number of additional species that have been recorded on these islands since the publication of the Annotated Checklists of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands in 2004 (Johnstone and Darnell Appendix A and B in: Handbook of Western Australian Birds Volume II) and the more recent review of the birds of Christmas Island (James and McAllan 2014 Australian Field Ornithology Suppl. 31). Criterion for inclusion of a species or subspecies on the list is, in most cases, supported by tangible evidence i.e.

Leiden 340, 27.xii.2002: 179-189.— ISSN 0024-1652/ISBN 90-73239-84-2. Clive F. Mann, 53 Sutton Lane South, London W4 3JR, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]). Keywords: Asia; Nectariniidae; taxonomy. Certain taxonomic changes made by Cheke & Mann (2001) are here explained and justified. Dicaeum haematostictum Sharpe, 1876, is split from D. australe (Hermann, 1783). D. aeruginosum Bourns & Worcester, 1894 is merged into D. agile (Tickell, 1833). The genus Chalcoparia Cabanis, 1851, is re-estab- lished for (Motacilla) singalensis Gmelin, 1788. The taxon Leptocoma sperata marinduquensis (duPont, 1971), is shown to be based on a specimen of Aethopyga siparaja magnifica Sharpe, 1876. Aethopyga vigor- sii (Sykes, 1832) is split from A. siparaja (Raffles, 1822). Cheke & Mann (op. cit.) mistakenly omitted two forms, Anthreptes malacensis erixanthus Oberholser, 1932 and Arachnothera longirostra zarhina Ober- holser, 1912. Five subspecies are removed from Aethopyga shelleyi Sharpe, 1876 to create the polytypic A. bella, Tweeddale, 1877. The Arachnothera affinis (Horsfield, 1822)/modesta (Eyton, 1839)/everetti (Sharpe, 1893) complex is re-evaluated in the light of the revision by Davison in Smythies (1999). Introduction In a recent publication (Cheke & Mann, 2001) some taxonomic changes were made to members of this family occurring in Asia.

  • Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines
    Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines November 2005 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph in cooperation with The WORLD BANK Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines FOREWORD This report is part of the output of the Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank ASEM Trust Fund. The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.
