    PICA Project Report (Action A2.2 & 2.3)

    PICA Project Report (Action A2.2 & 2.3) Investigation of Pallas’s cat activity patterns and temporal interactions with sympatric species Authors: Katarzyna Ruta, Gustaf Samelius, David Barclay, Emma Nygren PICA - “Conservation of the Pallas’s cat through capacity building, research, and global planning” 1. Introduction: 1.1 Activity patterns of wild felids: Activity patterns form a part of species’ adaptation to their environment (Beltran & Delibes, 1994) and are therefore a fundamental aspect of animal behaviour (Nielsen, 1983; Weller & Bennett, 2001). Felids are generally considered to be crepuscular and nocturnal in their activity (Kitchener, 1991), although they are well adapted to function in a wide range of light conditions (Sunquist & Sunquist, 2002). Numerous abiotic pressures and biotic interactions are known to shape the temporal behaviour of (cat-like) carnivores (Marinho et al., 2018), including changes in temperature (Beltran & Delibes, 1994; Podolski et al., 2013), light (Huck et al., 2017; Heurich et al., 2014) and season (Podolski et al., 2013; Manfredi et al., 2011), sex and reproductive status of the animal (Kolbe & Squires, 2007; Schmidt, 1999; Schmidt et al., 2009), predation risk (Caro, 2005; Farías et al., 2012) and human disturbance (Wolf & Ale, 2009; Ale & Brown, 2009). Owing to the dietary constraints of carnivores whose preys have their own well-defined circadian rhythms (Halle, 2000; Zielinski, 2000), the availability and vulnerability of prey is, however, considered as one of the main influences on predator temporal activity (Zielinski, 1988; Lodé, 1995). According to Optimal Foraging Theory, predators are expected to synchronize their daily activity with the activity of their most profitable prey, increasing the probability of encounters while reducing energy expenditure (MacArthur & Pianka, 1966; Monterroso et al., 2013; Emmons, 1987).

    Protection and Recovery Program for the Iriomote Cat (Prionailurus Bengalesis Iriomotensis)

    Protection and Recovery Program for the Iriomote Cat (Prionailurus bengalesis iriomotensis) July 17, 1995 Environment Agency Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries I. Objectives of the Program The Iriomote cat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis) is a feline species found only on Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture. The total population of this species is estimated to be about 100 in this habitat, mainly in the lowland areas of the island. This species was confirmed to represent a new species relatively recently, in 1967*. Subsequent surveys do not suggest precipitous population declines. However, given the restricted range and small population, many factors may affect the steady survival of the current wild population. These factors include the progressive shrinking and fragmentation of the natural habitat in the lowland areas critical to its survival, frequent roadkills, and the risks of introduction and outbreak of contagious disease. The objectives of this program is to ensure the stable survival of the cat in a natural state by monitoring and gathering information on the status of the species; maintaining and improving the environmental conditions necessary for the species; and mitigating and removing factors that pose threats to the species. II. Program areas Mainly on Iriomote Island (Okinawa Prefecture) III. Overview of the Program 1. Understanding the species status and monitoring The following surveys will be undertaken to appropriately and effectively implement the program, based on regular observations of the

    Managing the Invasive Small Indian Mongoose in Fiji Philip Brown and Adam Daigneault The small Indian mongoose is among the worst of invasive alien species, yet the implications of managing the species are poorly understood. To address concerns of interest to practitioners and policymakers, we analyze survey data to document the impacts of this species in Fiji and conduct a cost-beneit analysis of management approaches that are both culturally appropriate and readily implementable: live trapping, kill trapping, and hunting. We ind that the monetized beneits of kill trapping exceed the beneits of live trapping and hunting. Still, all of these management options are preferred to the status quo of no management. Key Words: cost-beneit analysis, Herpestes, invasive alien species, mongoose, nonmarket valuation, survey data Global trade, international tourism, and transformation of natural habitats result in accidental and intentional introductions of plant and animal species to foreign places. In some cases, these introduced species are invasive and threaten the biodiversity and natural resources in host states. Invasive alien species (IAS) are particularly problematic for small islands because of such islands’ high degree of endemism of species and reliance on natural resources for economic production. For example, in many Paciic island nations, primary industries such as agriculture, ishing, and forestry constitute as much as one-third of a country’s gross domestic product (GDP), natural resources dominate the manufacturing and processing sectors across the region, and native species feature prominently in the demand for tourism (Secretariat of the Paciic Community 2013). IAS pose a signiicant threat to such economies. The small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) was introduced to Fiji in 1883 to control pests in sugar cane ields.
