ABSTRACTThe aimed of this research is to know of mammals composition in dipterocarpa lowland forest, Batu Berok Protection Forest (BBPF), Long Pahangai, East Kalimantan. Combination method was done in this research, there is camera trapping survey, captured, direct and un-direct inventory by line transects and interview with local people. I have used 10 set of camera trapping, 50 cage traps, and 3.5 km line transect.Total 32 species of mammals were detected in this area, comprising 8 ordo (Scandentia, Dermoptera, Chiroptera, Primates, Pholidota, Rodentia, Carnivora and Artiodactyla) and 19 family (Tupaiidae, Cynocephalidae, Pteropedidae, Tarsiidae, Cercopithecidae, Hylobatidae, Manidae, Sciuridae-Sciurinae, Sciuridae-Petauristinae, Muridae, Hystricidae, Ursidae, Mustilidae, Viverridae, Felidae, Suidae, Tragulidae, Cervidae, and Bovidae) including Sun bear Helarctos malayanus, Sambar deer Rusa unicolor, Banded Palm Civet Hemigalus derbyanus, Clouded Leopard  Neofelis diardi, and Tarsius Tarsius bancanus. The composition of mammals illustrates a pyramid pattern in the food chain which mean is very feasible for the habitat of mammals. Genus and Family Index illustrate the diversity of mammal in the study area 54% of mammals’ species in East Kalimantan and 56% of mammals’ species in Borneo. By IUCN redlist, 4 species included as endangered species and 8 species as vulnerable, 16 species included in appendix of CITES and 10 species included in the Indonesian government regulation (PP. 7/1999) as protected species.The diversity of mammal in BBPF by quick survey was relatively hight, but as a protected forest this area was not good managed whereas located in the central of heart of Borneo. Intervention by government program is deeply needed.Key word: camera trapping, cage trap, food chain, IUCN  ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui komposisi mamalia di hutan dipterokarpa dataran rendah, Hutan Lindung Batu Berok (HLBB), Long Pahangai, Kalimantan Timur.

Borneo has wide land that support high biodiversity. One of them is Tanjung Puting National Park (TPNP), which have biodiversity such as terrestrial mammalian carnivore. Carnivore has a role to maintain its ecosystems. But, there are no data for population density of terrestrial mammalian carnivore. The object of this research is to find out population density of terrestrial mammalian carnivore in Camp Leakey, TPNP, Central Borneo. This research accomplished in September-October 2015 in Camp Leakey. Using line-transect sampling. Data collection was accomplished at 18.00-24.00 Central Indonesian Time (WITA) on eight transects with three times replication by direct surveys and indirect surveys. This research has obtained five species, malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), leopard cat, and group of civet, like small-toothed palm civet (Arctogalidia trivirgata) and asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). Population density of each species from the highest to the lowest is 13,5 Individual of leopard cat/km2, 9,84 Individual of malayan sun bears/km2, 4,31 Individual of sunda clouded leopard/km2, and 3,65 Individual of civet/km2. Malayan sun bears, sunda clouded leopards and civets prefer to be in land forest. Leopard cats prefers to be in transition forest.

Abstract Protected areas are critical to biodiversity conservation. Yet many protected areas around the world are very small, and population persistence can be compromised in small habitat patches, particularly for large species. But we do not know how small is too small for long-term population viability, or the degree to which habitat area effects vary with mammal body size, for most tropical species. Here, diversity and species occurrence were assessed in a small national park that has long been isolated from other forest patches. The two largest Bornean carnivores, the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) and sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), may be locally extinct, but 12 smaller carnivores appear to be persisting. The banded civet (Hemigalus derbyanus), the Malay civet (Viverra tangalunga) and the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) had relatively high occurrence rates and were found in all habitat types, though were more common in hill (banded civet) or lowland (common palm civet) forest (LF). Occurrence probabilities for all of these species and the common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) were lower in areas more accessible to humans. Detection rates and estimated diversity suggest that this park has a small carnivore assemblage equivalent to those of much larger areas. These are the first results demonstrating size-specific vulnerability to area effects in Southeast Asian carnivores.

Although highly diverse (Fonseca et al. 1996), the Atlantic forest mammal fauna is still poorly known, with very few sites exhaustively inventoried or subjected to long-term studies (Passamani et al. 2000). Although the first surveys using camera traps were carried out in the 1920s (e.g. Chapman 1927), most studies are rather recent (Karanth & Nichols 1998). This is not different in Brazil, where few studies have been published (Marques & Ramos 2001, Santos-Filho & Silva 2002, Silveira et al. 2003, Trolle 2003, Trolle & Kéry 2003). Given this, the objective of this paper is to assess the efficiency of camera trapping as an inventory technique for Neotropical forests in general and Atlantic forest in particular. The study was conducted at the Santa Lúcia Biological Station (SLBS), a biologically rich Atlantic Forest preserve located in south-eastern Brazil (Mendes & Padovan 2000) where mammals have been intensively live-trapped, observed from line-transects or had indirect evidence of their presence (faeces, footprints, scratches, etc.) recorded in earlier years (Passamani et al. 2000).

The medium-sized and large mammals of the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractivist Reserve, Acre, Brazil are inventoried. Data were collected using five methods: line transects, opportunistic sightings, camera trapping, hunting calendar, and hunting interviews. In total, 52 species belonging to 27 families were recorded; 11 species are threatened. We discuss the factors, such as hunting, that affect the occurrence of these species. In addition, we document the food taboos for Priodontes maximus (Kerr, 1792) and Dinomys branickii Peters, 1873, two threatened species. The confirmed occurrence of threatened species in the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractivist Reserve makes long-term studies necessary to obtain essential information for the understanding the viability of these populations.

Faunal surveys in Kalimantan have been biased towards primates in protected forests close to the coast. Relatively little has been documented on other animal species, particularly in the vast interior forests. The results of a 1996–97 census of nine large mammal and eight hornbill species in tropical lowland forest in Barito Ulu, Central Kalimantan are reported here. Pigs Sus barbatus had the highest biomass, but this was due to large numbers migrating through the study area over 4 months and the resident population is probably low. Langurs Presbytis rubicunda and hybrid gibbons Hylobates mulleri × agilis had the highest biomass of all resident species. Orang-utans Pongo pygmaeus were absent from the area during the study period and pig-tailed macaques Macaca nemestrina were rarely seen. The resident hornbill species (Anthracoceros malayanus, Anorrhinus galeritus, Buceros vigil and B. rhinoceros) had high densities compared to that reported from lowland areas, but overall hornbill density was low due to the absence of the nomadic Aceros corrugatus and A. undulatus, except during peak fruit abundance. Sun bears Helarctos malayanus, long-tailed macaques M. fascicularis, muntjacs Muntiacus spp. and mouse deer Tragulus spp. were at low densities. Density of two large squirrel species, Ratufa affinis and Sundasciurus hippiurus, was lower than has been reported in Sarawak, but the density of Prevost's squirrel Callosciurus prevostii was higher. We discuss hunting pressure, isolation, low abundance of large fruit trees, poor soils, and specific habitat preferences as possible explanations for the low mammal and hornbill density at Barito Ulu.

Prey Items

<p>Arboreal mammals comprise the bulk of the diet of the Philippine Eagle <em>P</em><em>ithecophaga jefferyi</em>, a globally threatened bird species that is found only in the Philippines. Field surveys were conducted in Mt. Mahuson in Arakan Valley, North Cotabato Province from October 2009 to March 2011. The team concentrated on searching for Mindanao Flying Lemur <em>C</em><em>ynocephalus volans</em>, Mindanao Flying Squirrel <em>P</em><em>etinomys crinitus, </em>Palm Civet <em>P</em><em>aradoxurus hermaphroditus</em>, and Long-tailed Macaque <em>M</em><em>acaca fascicularis </em>as these are the reported common prey items of the Philippine Eagle. The team conducted mammal surveys for a total of 48.38 observation hours in seven line transects with a total length of 14 km if connected end to end. The team was also able to gather data from opportunistic sampling and dialogues with parabiologists. Results of the transect surveys indicate that among these species, the Long- tailed Macaques are the ones abundant particularly in the remaining forests at lower altitude (below 1300 masl), followed by the Mindanao Flying Lemur and Palm Civet. The Philippine Tree Squirrel scored only “frequent” whereas both the Mindanao Flying Squirrel and Pygmy Squirrel were found rare in the study area. This study tells us that lemurs are not the primary prey items of the nesting pair in Mt. Mahuson, a finding contrary to what is known that a large bulk of the prey items of the Philippine Eagle population in Mindanao consists of flying lemurs. This hypothesis could be tested with further assessment of the prey population and foraging behavior of the eagle pair in the mountain.</p>

The faunal diversity of the densely populated island of Unguja, Zanzibar archipelago, Tanzania, includes several endemic mammals.  Camera-trapping in Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park and Kiwengwa–Pongwe Forest Reserve in September 2017 captured the first video footage of the Zanzibar Servaline Genet Genetta servalina archeri, an endemic subspecies first formally described in 1998.  Other native small carnivores were also recorded on video for the first time during this survey, including the African Palm Civet Nandinia binotata, which was first documented in print as present in Unguja in 2004.  Also camera-trapped in 2017 were the Zanzibar Slender Mongoose Herpestes sanguineus rufescens and the Zanzibar Bushy-tailed Mongoose Bdeogale crassicauda tenuis.  Follow-up camera-trapping in Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park in August 2018 captured additional video of the Zanzibar Servaline Genet and the African Palm Civet.  No images were obtained of the African Civet Civettictis civetta, or of the two introduced species—the Banded Mongoose Mungos mungo and the Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica—in either year.  As the remaining natural habitat in Zanzibar shrinks in size and becomes fragmented, it is increasingly urgent to document the archipelago’s carnivores and other fauna, so that sound conservation measures can be implemented.

The Palawan Pangolin Manis culionensis is restricted to the Palawan faunal region in the Philippines.  The species’ distribution and natural history are poorly known due, in part, to it only recently being recognized as a distinct species.  Pangolin species around the world are threatened due to habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade.  Understanding the conservation requirements of the Palawan Pangolin will inform efforts to avert its extinction.  Presently, information on the status, distribution, and natural history of pangolins is largely derived from interviews with local people, radio-telemetry, transect surveys for pangolin sign, and camera trapping.  Here we test the ability of fish oil- and pig blood-baited camera traps to document the presence of Palawan Pangolin.  We obtained three photos at two localities in Palawan in mangrove, lowland forest, and riverine forest.
