A study was conducted on population status and distribution of Rhesus Macaque, Macaca mulatta, in moist deciduous forest of Bangladesh from April to October 2015. Observation was carried out in the Madhupur deciduous forest, Tangail. In total, 248 individuals belonging to 11 groups were recorded. The group size ranged from 9 to 51 (mean 22.54 ± 11.68) individuals. Among the total population, 48.5% were adults and 51.5% immature animals (sub-adult male, sub-adult female, juvenile and infant). The ratio of adult and immature was 1 : 1.85 and the sex ratio of adult male and female was 1 : 1.49. The groups were 0.77 to 7.47 km (mean 2.5 km ± 2.2, n = 11) apart from each other.Bangladesh J.

Population Organization

A study was conducted on population organization and ranging pattern of rhesus macaque at Bandar Upazila, Narayanganj, Dhaka from December, 2009 to September, 2010. Direct count method was used to study the group size and composition, and ranging was determined by GPS coordination plotting on the map. A total of 66 monkeys (29 to 37 individuals) were found in two groups with a mean of 33±5.6. Among the population 7.6% adult male, 33.3% adult female, 9.1% sub-adult male, 7.6% sub-adult female, 25.8% juvenile and 16.7% was infant. The ratio between adult male and adult female was 1:4.4 and between adult and nonadults was 1:1.4. Day range length varied from 1543m to1716m (mean=1638.43±56.7). Home range was completely overlapped and varied negligibly from 45.2 ha. to 45.5 ha. (mean=45.32±0.2). They minimized conflictions by using different time to move. But the growing dependence of these urban macaques on human resources is a matter of concern. Therefore, conservation strategies should be directed to minimize this dependence.Jahangirnagar University J. Biol. Sci. 3(1): 27-35, 2014 (June)

The Relationship

People inside prison have above-average rates of childhood and adult victimization. Little is known, however, about the relationship between types of victimization inside prison and that experienced in childhood. This article estimates rates of victimization for male and female inmates by type of perpetrator and form of victimization (sexual, physical, either, or both) and their association with types of childhood victimization (sexual or physical). Data for these estimates are based on a random sample of approximately 7,500 inmates housed in 12 adult male prisons and one adult female prison in a single state. The significance of the findings for practice are discussed along with recommendations to improve the health and welfare of people inside prison.

Selenized Yeast

Selenium has been recognized as an essential nutrient for human health; however, its bioavailability is primarily dependent upon the type of selenium, elemental versus organic. In geographic areas low in selenium, there is the potential for animals (including humans) to become selenium deficient and this potential deficiency can be remedied by consumption of exogenous selenium, including selenium-enriched yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that contains high levels of organic selenium (e.g., selenized yeast). The present studies were conducted to investigate potential oral toxicity of a unique selenized yeast preparation (Sel-Plex®) when administered to (1) adult female CHS Swiss mice ICo:OFI (IOPS Caw); (2) adult female CHS Sprague-Dawley rats; and (3) adult male and female Sprague-Dawley CD rats. For the 28- and 90-day toxicity studies, (1) adult male and female Sprague-Dawley CRL:CD® (SD) IGS BR strain rats and (2) adult male and female 6- to 7-month-old Beagle dogs were used. The LD50 for mice was ® ≥2000 mg Sel-Plex® /kg (≥4.06 mg Se/kg) and for rats, was greater ® than ≥2000 mg Sel-Plex® /kg (≥4.06 mg Se/kg). In the two 28-day studies, for rats, the no observed adverse effects level (NOAEL) was 50 mg Sel-Plex®/kg/day (0.1 mg Se/kg/day), and for the dogs, the NOAEL was 22.5 mg Sel-Plex®/kg/day (0.045 mg Se/kg/day). For the two 90-day studies, for rats the NOAEL for Sel-Plex® was 114 mg/kg/day (0.23 mg Se/kg/day), and for dogs, the NOAEL was 30 mg Sel-Plex®/kg/day (0.06 mg Se/kg/day): the latter being the NOAEL in the most sensitive species.

Resumen. Se estudió el área de actividad (AA) de Heteromys gaumeri en una selva mediana subcaducifolia en el Rancho Hobonil, Tzucacab al sur del estado de Yucatán, México. Se trabajó con el 30 % (n = 78) de la población total (n = 270); 53 % fueron hembras y 47 %, machos. Las hembras permanecieron en el área de estudio en promedio 7.6 meses y los machos 6.6 meses. La permanencia entre sexos no mostró diferencias significativas (p > 0.05). Los machos presentaron mayor AA promedio (555 m2) que las hembras (465 m2). El AA de individuos reproductivos (540 m2) y no reproductivos (439 m2) fue similar para ambos sexos (p > 0.05). No se observó una correlación entre el AA y el peso corporal en ninguno de los sexos (p > 0.05 para ambos sexos). La distancia máxima recorrida (DMR) no fue influenciada por la interacción de los factores sexo y época (p > 0.05). El AA de los machos mostró un promedio de 86 % de sobreposición y las hembras de 75 %; sin embargo, no fue significativa (p > 0.05). El tamaño y la alta sobreposición del AA y la distribución de las hembras, sugiere que esta especie es polígama y su sistema de pareja promiscuo, con un alto grado de tolerancia social intra e intersexual.Palabras clave: Área de actividad, Heteromys gaumeri, Rodentia, selva mediana subcaducifolia, Yucatán.Abstract. The home range (HR) of Heteromys gaumeri was studied in a subdeciduous tropical rainforest located at Rancho Hobonil, Tzucacab, Yucatan, Mexico. Thirty percent (n = 78) of the total population (n = 270) were residents, being 53 % females and 47 % males. The mean was 7.6 months for females, and 6.6 months for males. Average HR was 555 m2 for males and 465 m2 for females. Nevertheless, males and females did not differ significantly in the size of their HR (p > 0.05). The reproductive condition of individuals did not influence their HR and movement patterns. For both sexes, reproductive individuals showed the same HR than non-reproductive individuals (p > 0.05). HR was not correlated with individual weight of males and females in this population (p > 0.05). Neither season (dry and wet) nor sex (male and female) influenced maximum distance moved (MDM) (p > 0.05). Males and females had HR that overlapped the HR of multiple females and males intrasexually (p > 0.05). Based on HR size, high degree of HR overlap and female distribution, we concluded that mating system of H. gaumeri in rainforest of Yucatan is probably promiscous with a high degree of intra and intersexual tolerance.Key words: Activity area, Heteromys gumeri, Rodentia, medium deciduous forest, Yucatán.

Between 22B and 89B adult female cochineals are killed per year directly to produce carmine dye, of which between 17B and 71B are wild, and between 4B and 18B are farmed. The farming of cochineal directly causes 4.6T to 21T additional deaths, primarily of male and female cochineal nymphs, and adult male cochineals. The deaths of nymphs are possibly the most painful caused by cochineal production. The vast majority of cochineal is produced in Peru, followed by Mexico and the Canary Islands. Reducing cochineal farming, which accounts for 15% to 25% of the market, would significantly reduce cochineal suffering. Reducing wild cochineal harvesting is unlikely to have any significant effect on cochineal suffering. Accordingly, insect advocates interested in reducing cochineal suffering ought to focus on eliminating cochineal farming specifically, and not necessarily all cochineal harvesting.
