“…Some methods (e.g. population viability analysis and minimum viable population) were developed to determine habitat area (Neri-Arboleda, 2010;Simberloff, 1988). However, they were based on specific species and applying them to every single species in the study area is unrealistic.…”

The implementation of inappropriate land use planning has negative impact on environmental quality, threatens food, health and residential security, and can even lead to regional environmental disaster. In this paper, a worst-case scenario based methodology using the land use environmental tolerance index (LETI) was proposed to assess the impact of land use planning on the environment. The land use planning environmental impact assessment (LUPEA) of Lianyungang City was performed as a case study to demonstrate the novel methodology. The inappropriate land use planning of the study area was spatially identified, and adjustments for the land use planning scheme to minimize the adverse impacts were accordingly recommended. Results show that the land use planning layout of the study area is fundamentally rational as most of the planned production and living land parcels are located outside the worst-case scenario areas, but the small fraction of the parcels in the worst-case scenario areas indicates a need for an improved land use planning scheme. This methodology provides a new perspective to evaluate the impact of land use planning on the environment, especially for densely populated countries which still suffer food, health and residential security issues and thus require much attention to environmental safety.

“…Until recently, tarsiers were abused in tourist displays, being shown to visitors during the day time, causing stress [Petrů, 2010]. Without proper conservation, the species is vulnerable to extinction [Neri-Arboleda, 2010]. In consequence, in 2014, the Subayon Conservation Centre for the Philippine tarsier was established in Bilar, Bohol, to study this species in captivity and to develop guidelines for its long-term husbandry.…”

Among tarsiers, nocturnal, obligatory faunivorous primates inhabiting islands of South-East Asia, the Philippine tarsier (Tarsius [= Carlito] syrichta) is one of the least studied. To date, activity patterns of this threatened species have not been the subject of any investigation. In the present study, we provide the first quantitative data on how captive male and female T. syrichta apportion their time for various activities in two social contexts: solitary and paired. We found that the sexes do not differ in activity budgets during the non-mating season, both spending most of their time scanning, resting, foraging and travelling. Comparison of activity budgets of the sexes between the mating and non-mating seasons revealed that although both tarsiers noticeably increased travelling time at the expense of time spent resting, the male changed his behaviour to a much greater extent than the female. We also report on fluctuations in the tarsiers’ activities throughout a night and compare time budgets of T. syrichta with available data on the western and eastern species of tarsiers. The results extend the current knowledge of tarsier behaviour and may also assist in practical considerations for keeping this highly sensitive, difficult-to-breed species in captivity.

Tarsiers are one of the most enigmatic taxa within the Order Primates. The current‐day taxonomic classification of tarsiers is based on Groves and Shekelle's (2010) classification of the tarsiers into three separate genera: Tarsius , Carlito , and Cephalopachus . Within the genus Tarsius , nine species are recognized, while only one species is currently recognized within Carlito and Cephalopachus , respectively. All extant tarsiers are nocturnal. They awaken at sunset and are active throughout the night, with occasional periods of rest. While other nocturnal mammals exhibit lunar phobia, tarsiers are known to be lunar philic. Tarsiers are also unusual among primates in that they consume only animal food. Tarsiers show extreme adaptations for vertical clinging and leaping in the understory of tropical habitats, often 2 m or less from the ground. Their hindlimbs are greatly elongated, and they are reported to have the smallest intermembral index of any primate.
