Malay civets in a dipterocarp rain forest were studied from December, 1995, through June, 1997, in the Ulu Segama Forest Reserve in Sabah, East Malaysia. To investigate the basic ecology of this species and explore the potential impact of selective logging, data on home range, a…

Despite decades of theoretical and empirical research, two fundamental questions in primate ecology remain largely unanswered. First, how does habitat quality affect the density and demographic structure of primate populations? Second, what ecological factors regulate primate po…
The purpose of this research was to evaluate forest-cover change in and around the protected areas of Peninsular Malaysia between 1992 and 1996. To accomplish this a historical review of deforestation and conservation measures in Peninsular Malaysia was undertaken. Different cha…
Historical and contemporary practices of rural land and forest regulation demonstrate a wide range of interactions among customary and state authorities. In East Timor's Oecusse enclave, autonomous local authorities have long sought to access and to control forest products, incl…
Le Niger, à l'instar des autres pays au sud du Sahara est caractérisé, entre autres, par des facteurs climatiques défavorables, des écosystèmes fragiles, une forte pression anthropique sur les ressources naturelles étant donné que la quasi totalité de la population vit essentiel…
The Late Oligocene (28-27 Ma) Guang River flora from northwestern Ethiopia, a well preserved, autochthonous plant macrofossil compression assemblage, is preserved in an overbank deposit and likely represents a tropical seasonally or periodically inundated riparian forest communi…
Understanding animal-habitat relationships remains one of the key inquiries of ecology. In studying animal-habitat relationships, the traditional approach has adopted a resource-centered view, relying heavily on directly measuring attributes of a habitat itself. However, ecologi…
Natural gas exploration and production has caused large scale changes to portions of the Arkansas landscape. Well pad site construction, access roads, and pipelines utilized to extract and transport natural gas have fragmented forested areas. The forest fragmentation resulting f…
Tropical forest clearing threatens the sustainability of critically important global ecosystems services, including climate regulation and biodiversity. Indonesia is home to the world's third largest tropical forest and second highest rate of deforestation; as such, it plays an …
The Imatong Mountain region of South Sudan makes up the northern most part of the Afromontane conservation 'biodiversity hotspot' due to the numerous species of plants and animals found here, some of which are endemic. At the same time, this area (including the nearby Dongotana …
Forests play a central role in global biogeochemical cycling by storing carbon (C) and retaining nutrients. Yet, we have limited understanding of how shifts in forest composition (owing to global environmental changes) will affect ecosystem functioning. A long history of researc…
