AbstractWe radio-marked 99 Cassin's Auklets (Ptychoramphus aleuticus) nesting at two colonies, Prince Island and Scorpion Rock, separated by 90 km in the California Channel Islands to quantify foraging distance, individual home-range area, and colony-based foraging areas during three consecutive breeding seasons. Auklets generally foraged <30 km from each colony in all years. Core foraging areas (50% fixed kernel) from Prince Island in 1999–2001 were north to northeast of the colony over the insular shelf near the shelfbreak. Core foraging areas from Scorpion Rock in 2000–2001 occurred in two focal areas: the Anacapa Passage, a narrow interisland passage adjacent to the colony, and over the southeastern Santa Barbara Channel. During 2000, intercolony foraging areas overlapped by 10%; however, auklets from each colony used the overlapping area at different times. Equivalent-sample-size resampling indicated Prince Island foraging area (1216 ± 654 km2) was twice that of Scorpion Rock (598 ± 204 km2). At Prince Island, mean individual distances, home-range areas, and colony-based activity areas were greater for females than males, especially during 2001. At Prince Island, core foraging areas of females and males, pooled separately, overlapped by 63% in 1999 and 2000, and by 35% in 2001. Postbreeding auklets from both colonies dispersed northward and moved to active upwelling centers off central California, coincident with decreased upwelling and sea-surface warming throughout the Santa Barbara Channel.Distancias de Forrajeo y Rangos de Hogar de Dos Colonias de Nidificación de Ptychoramphus aleuticus en las Islas del Canal de CaliforniaResumen. Para cuantificar la distancia de forrajeo, el área de hogar de los individuos y las áreas de forrajeo de las colonias, marcamos con radiotransmisores 99 individuos de la especie Ptychoramphus aleuticus que estaban anidando en dos colonias separadas por 90 km en las islas del Canal de California (Prince Island y Scorpion Rock) durante tres temporadas reproductivas consecutivas. Las aves generalmente forrajearon a menos de 30 km de cada colonia en todos los años. Las áreas núcleo de forrajeo (“kernel” fijo del 50%) de la colonia de Prince Island en 1999–2001 se ubicaron al norte y al noreste de la colonia, cerca del borde de la plataforma insular. Las áreas núcleo de la colonia de Scorpion Rock en 2000–2001 se ubicaron en dos áreas focales: el Pasaje de Anacapa, un estrecho corredor marítimo entre islas adyacente a la colonia, y en el sureste del Canal de Santa Barbara. Durante 2000, las áreas de forrajeo de las dos colonias se superpusieron en un 10%, pero las aves de cada colonia utilizaron las áreas de superposición en momentos diferentes. Análisis con tamaños de muestra equivalentes indicaron que el área de forrajeo de Prince Island (1216 ± 654 km2) era el doble de Scorpion Rock (598 ± 204 km2). En Prince Island, las distancias promedio entre individuos, el tamaño de los rangos de hogar y las áreas en que la colonia centró sus actividades fueron mayores para las hembras que para los machos, especialmente durante 2001. En Prince Island, las áreas núcleo de forrajeo de hembras y machos, combinadas separadamente, se superpusieron en un 63% en 1999 y 2000, y en un 35% en 2001. Las aves post-reproductivas de ambas colonias se dispersaron hacia el norte y se desplazaron hacia centros activos de surgencia en aguas de California central, de forma coincidente con una disminución en la surgencia y un calentamiento de la superficie del mar a través del Canal de Santa Barbara.

AbstractNatural salt lick (sira) is a strategic localisation for ecological wildlife assemblage to exhibit geophagy which may act as a population dynamic buffer of prey and predators. Undoubtedly, many agree that geophagy at natural licks is linked to nutritional ecology, health and assembly places facilitating social interaction of its users. Overall, natural salt licks not only save energy of obtaining nutrient leading to health maintenance but also forms the basis of population persistence. The Royal Belum Rainforest, Malaysia (Royal Belum) is a typical tropical rainforest in Malaysia rich in wildlife which are mainly concentrated around the natural salt lick. Since this is one of the most stable fauna ecology forest in Malaysia, it is timely to assess its impact on the Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris) home range dynamics. The three-potential home ranges of the Malayan tiger in this rainforest were selected based on animal trails or foot prints surrounding the salt lick viz (e.g. Sira Kuak and Sira Batu; Sira Rambai and Sira Buluh and Sira Papan) as well as previous sightings of a Malayan tiger in the area, whose movement is dependent on the density and distribution of prey. Camera traps were placed at potential animal trails surrounding the salt lick to capture any encountered wildlife species within the area of the camera placements. Results showed that all home ranges of Malayan tiger were of no significance for large bodied prey availability such as sambar deer (Rusa unicolor), and smaller prey such as muntjacs (Muntiacus muntjac) and wild boar (Sus scrofa). Interestingly, all home range harbour the Malayan tiger as the only sole predator. The non-significance of prey availability at each home range is attributed to the decline of the Malayan tiger in the rainforest since tigers are dependant on the movement of its preferred prey surrounding natural salt licks. Thus, the information from this study offers fundamental knowledge on the importance of prey-predator interaction at salt lick which will help in designing strategy in rewilding or rehabilitation programs of the Malayan tiger at the Royal Belum Rainforest.
