“…The taxa include hornbills (Datta 1998;, Life after logging | 33 woodpeckers (McNally & Schneider 1996), bears, civets, and porcupines. Important pollinators such as bees (Kerr et al 1994;McNally & Schneider 1996) and seed dispersers ) also depend on hollow trees, while many animals use fallen hollow trunks for nesting or resting-species such as Lariscus insignis (Yasuma & Andau 2000) and Tragulus javanicus (Matsubayashi et al 2003). The loss of large stems can thus have long-term consequences (Gordon et al 1990), and is a potential cause for otherwise inexplicable declines or failures in forest regeneration around the world (Sheil & van Heist 2000).…”

“…noted that in Indochina, T. javanicus appears to be a species of the forest edge rather than the forest interior. T. javanicus' utilization of disturbed habitats was confi rmed by Matsubayashi et al (2003) in Sabah, who found they feed primarily in tree-fall gaps and areas dominated by bamboo, probably because they prefer fruits and foliage of pioneer plants that occur in areas with bamboo. For frugivorous animals these tree-fall gaps are good foraging sites because some gap species produce fruit several times a year, whereas most climax species in mature forest produce fruit once a year or less (Whitmore 94 | Mammals 1998).…”

On the other hand, Matsubayashi et al (2003) found that T. javanicus rested during the night on open forest fl oors without undergrowth, probably to enable them to spot predators more effectively (during daylight hours animals rested primarily in shelters such as fallen tree trunks or branches). Open forest fl oors and an abundance of hollow, fallen trees occur frequently in primary forests.…”

CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefi ts. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in collaboration with numerous partners.

Habitat fragmentation and logging affect the occurrence of lesser mouse‐deer in tropical forest reserves

Due to rapid urbanization, logging, and agricultural expansion, forest fragmentation is negatively affecting native wildlife populations throughout the tropics. This study examined the effects of landscape and habitat characteristics on the lesser mouse‐deer, Tragulus kanchil, populations in Peninsular Malaysia. We conducted camera‐trap survey at 315 sampling points located within 8 forest reserves. An assessment of site‐level and landscape variables was conducted at each sampling point. Our study provides critical ecological information for managing and conserving understudied populations of T. kanchil. We found that the detection of T. kanchil was attributed to forest fragmentation in which forest patches had four times greater detection of T. kanchil than continuous forest. The detection of T. kanchil was nearly three times higher in peat swamp forest compared to lowland dipterocarp forests. Surprisingly, the detection of T. kanchil was higher in logged forests (logging ceased at least 30 years ago) than unlogged forests. The detection of T. kanchil increased with the presence of trees, particularly those with DBH of 5 cm to 45 cm, canopy cover, number of saplings and palms, number of dead fallen trees, and distance from nearest roads. However, detection decreased with a greater number of trees with DBH greater than 45 cm and higher elevations, and greater detections where creeping bamboo was abundant. We recommend that conservation stakeholders take the necessary steps (e.g., eradicating poaching, habitat degradation, and further deforestation) to support the conservation of mouse‐deer species and its natural habitats.
