| Nonredundancy in the dispersal network of a generalist tropical forest tree. | Plant species with generalized dispersal mutualisms are considered to be robust to local frugivore extinctions because of redundancy between dispersal agents. However, real redundancy can only occur if frugivores have similar foraging and ranging patterns and if fruit is a limiting resource. We evaluated the quantitative and qualitative contributions of seed dispersers for an endochorus mast-fruiting species, Prunus javanica (Rosaceae) in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, to evaluate the potenti ... | 2011 | 21870623 |
| captive breeding and reintroduction of the oriental pied hornbill (anthracoceros albirostris) in khao kheow open zoo, thailand. | this article discusses two related issues of the captive breeding and reintroduction of the oriental pied hornbill (anthracoceros albirostris) in order to increase its population in the natural habitats. oriental pied hornbills were bred in khao kheow open zoo. three pairs were separated and kept in breeding cages. females occupied artificial nests between february and april 2005-2007. eggs were laid and incubated between february and march each year from 2005 to 2007. nestlings hatched in late ... | 2012 | 22105510 |
| recruitment of hornbill-dispersed trees in hunted and logged forests of the indian eastern himalaya. | hunting of hornbills by tribal communities is widespread in logged foothill forests of the indian eastern himalaya. we investigated whether the decline of hornbills has affected the dispersal and recruitment of 3 large-seeded tree species. we hypothesized that 2 low-fecundity tree species, chisocheton paniculatus and dysoxylum binectariferum (meliaceae) bearing arillate fruits, are more dispersal limited than a prolifically fruiting drupaceous tree polyalthia simiarum (annonaceae), which has pot ... | 2009 | 19220369 |
| when the seeds sprout, the hornbills hatch: understanding the traditional ecological knowledge of the ibans of brunei darussalam on hornbills. | hornbills are known to play an important role in rainforests as agents of seed dispersal. decades of scientific research has led to a vital body of knowledge on hornbill taxonomy, ecology, distribution, and conservation status. however, the traditional ecological knowledge (tek) that local people possess on hornbills has largely been underexplored. in 2018, we collaborated with the iban people of temburong, brunei darussalam, to study their tek on hornbills. | 2019 | 31477132 |
