“…This study recorded 23 species of ground-dwelling birds from 8 families and 7 orders. The top three recorded were Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus) (8.67%), Red Junglefowl (9.07%), and Red-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus) (1.12%), in descending order of relative abundance (Charaspet et al 2021). The most common species found in Khao Yai National Park from this study were the Siamese Fireback (n: 441), Red Junglefowl (n: 301), and Silver Pheasant, with abundance indices of 10.65%, 7.27%, and 1.84%, respectively.…”

“…However, we selected only 3 pheasant species because of the large number found for analysis. The results of long-term studies in the other two conservation areas on Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, with 6596 trap days, found 24 species of land-dwelling bird species (Charaspet et al 2021) and Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, with 4463 trap nights, found 11 species of the landdwelling bird species (Sukmasuang et al 2020), including 3 areas with 50 land-dwelling bird species living on the forest floor, confirmed to indicate the abundance of landdwelling bird species of Khao Yai National Park is the most diverse as detailed in table 7. Comparing to the study by Zou et al (2019), who studied the abundance of ground birds in the Nanling Mountains of the Republic of China, reported a total of 44 bird species and 26 mammal species identified using data from 24 camera traps and 6786 photos.…”

Abstract. Kanka P, Sukmasuang R, Duengkae P, Siripattaranugul K. 2023. Abundance and physical factors affecting the appearance of selected terrestrial birds in Khao Yai National Park using camera trapping. Biodiversitas 24: 222 232. This study used results from camera traps set for Dhole (Cuon alpinus) and their prey during 2017-2020 in Khao Yai National Park to assess the species richness of ground-dwelling birds and identify abundance and also temporal appearance of the species in the area. We selected only the Pheasant species that typically forage on the ground to investigate the physical factors affecting the appearance in Khao Yai National Park. Based on camera trapping data with a total of 4139 trap days, 115 camera locations showed 36 species of birds belonging to 21 families, and 13 orders of ground-dwelling bird species were recorded. Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), and Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera) were detected with an abundance index of 10.65%, 7.27%, and 1.84%, respectively. The ground-dwelling bird abundance index from the camera traps accounted for 26.85% of the total fauna. Although the Phasianidae were found to be diurnal species, this study also shows a statistically significant difference in the average time between Red Junglefowl and Siamese Fireback. Meanwhile, there was no statistically significant difference between Red Junglefowl and Silver Pheasant during their active time. The water sources showed a significant effect on the presence of the Siamese Fireback in data analysis; however, no physical environmental factors significantly affected the distribution of Red Junglefowl and Silver Pheasant. This study found that surrounding creeks and streams significantly impacted the appearance of the Siamese Fireback. As a result, area management needs to prevent and reduce disturbances along a creek in order to effectively manage the habitat of the Siamese Fireback and other wildlife.

“…Within the Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary, this project focused on a 925 km 2 study area in the north and eastern half of Thung Yai Naresuan East (TYNE; Figure 1 ). We compared our data with the findings from an adjacent study [ 20 ] in the northwest portion of the Huai Kha Khaeng (HKK) Wildlife Sanctuary, just to the east of TYNE. The centers of the two camera arrays were about 35 km apart.…”

“…The centers of the two camera arrays were about 35 km apart. Study area elevations in TYNE averaged 967 m (range 664–1335) vs. the average elevations of 200–500 m (range 160–1687 m) in HKK [ 20 ], As a consequence of these elevational differences, the TYNE study area likely has a higher proportion of dry evergreen forest vs. more mixed deciduous forest with bamboo in HKK. In addition, there is more protection and less habitat alteration by humans within HKK.…”

The Thung Yai Naresuan (East) Wildlife Sanctuary (TYNE), in the core area of the Western Forest Complex of Thailand, harbors a diverse assemblage of wildlife, and the region has become globally significant for mammal conservation. From April 2010 to January 2012, 106 camera traps were set, and, in 1817 trap-nights, registered 1821 independent records of 32 mammal species. Of the 17 IUCN-listed (from Near Threatened to Critically Endangered) mammal species recorded, 5 species listed as endangered or critically endangered included the Asiatic elephant (Elephas maximus), tiger (Panthera tigris), Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus), dhole (Cuon alpinus), and Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica). The northern red muntjac (Muntiacus vaginalis), large Indian civet (Viverra zibetha), Malayan porcupine (Hystrix brachyuran), and sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) were the most frequently recorded species (10–22 photos/100 trap-nights), representing 62% of all independent records, while the golden jackal (Canis aureus), clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata), and Sunda pangolin were the least photographed (<0.1/100 trap-nights). Species accumulation curves indicated that the number of camera trap locations needed to record 90% of taxa recorded varied from 26 sites for herbivores to 67 sites for all mammals. TYNE holds a rich community of mammals, but some differences in photo-rates from an adjacent sanctuary and comparisons with other research on local mammals suggest that some species are rare and some are missed because of the limitations of our technique. We also conclude that the management and conservation plan, which involves the exclusion of human activities from some protected areas and strict protection efforts in the sanctuaries, is still suitable for providing key habitats for endangered wildlife populations, and that augmented and regular survey efforts will help in this endeavor.

“…The study of predators is important to understand competition among predators and predator-prey relationships so that the viable populations of predators and herbivorous, insectivorous mammals can be sustained (Charaspet et al 2021). The number of predator species also affects their competitive activity (Lucherini et al 2009).…”

Abstract. Andreychev A. 2021. Short Communication: Proportion faunal assemblages of carnivorous mammals in geoecological districts of Mordovia, Russia. Biodiversitas 22: 4625-4632. In the forest-steppe area, carnivorous mammals are represented by species of different faunistic assemblages. This circumstance makes the study region a priority since the species of which faunistic assemblages prevail is of interest. Fifteen carnivorous species have been identified in the territory of Mordovia. Among them, the family Mustelidae predominates in terms of the number of species. The species are found in all geoecological districts, but their distribution is uneven. The most notable species in the region are located in coniferous and broad-leaved forests (40%) and species widely distributed in several natural areas (40%). 13% of the total number of noted species belong to the taiga fauna types. The steppe type of fauna is represented by only 7% of the total number of recorded species. For each geoecological region, the fauna features are given, and a list of rare and exciting species is given. The forest-steppe zone to which Mordovia belongs is compared by the fauna of carnivorous mammals with other regions from three typical faunal assemblages.
