Book Synopsis Hills and Streams by : David Dudgeon
Download or read book Hills and Streams written by David Dudgeon and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the ecology of hills and streams in Hong Kong. Despite centuries of human impact and one of the highest population densities on Earth, most of Hong Kong is still rural in character and diverse in terms of flora and fauna. Surprisingly, Hong Kong has more wild animal and plant species than Britain. This diversity is threatened, though, by the uncontrolled development of previously rural areas. This book aims to contribute to the conservation of the Hong Kong countryside both by raising awareness of its value and by providing the scientific basis for its management. For the international reader, Hong Kong provides an instructive example of the effects of intense human impact on species-rich habitats. The book is illustrated by three full-colour maps and sixty-eight colour plates.

Download or read book Wild Mammals in Captivity written by Devra G. Kleiman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-08-15 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoos, aquaria, and wildlife parks are vital centers of animal conservation and management. For nearly fifteen years, these institutions have relied on Wild Mammals in Captivity as the essential reference for their work. Now the book reemerges in a completely updated second edition. Wild Mammals in Captivity presents the most current thinking and practice in the care and management of wild mammals in zoos and other institutions. In one comprehensive volume, the editors have gathered the most current information from studies of animal behavior; advances in captive breeding; research in physiology, genetics, and nutrition; and new thinking in animal management and welfare. In this edition, more than three-quarters of the text is new, and information from more than seventy-five contributors is thoroughly updated. The standard text for all courses in zoo biology, Wild Mammals in Captivity will, in its new incarnation, continue to be used by zoo managers, animal caretakers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in how to manage animals in captive conditions.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled COLONIZATION OF EXOTIC PLANTATIONS BY NATIVE PLANTS AND MAMMALS IN HONG KONG Submitted by Elsa Lee for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in November 2004 Reforestation since the 1950s using mainly exotic tree species has resulted in large areas of even-aged monocultures in Hong Kong. With the current stress on preserving and enhancing native biodiversity within the government and internationally, the role of exotic plantations in reforestation programmes needs to be reassessed. The major aim of this study was to assess whether forest succession is taking place under these exotic plantations and if they have fulfilled the objective of rehabilitating degraded hillsides in Hong Kong. The possibility of increasing plant diversity within exotic plantations by means of enrichment planting of native tree species was also studied. Multivariate analysis of the woody species composition of four types of 30-year- old exotic plantations showed that the understory plant community of most plantations was significantly different from spontaneous secondary forests of similar age. Sites near secondary forest seed sources had a more similar species composition to secondary forests, while isolated sites, especially Lophostemon confertus plantations, had a low-diversity plant community dominated by a few shrub species and lacking tree seedlings. Acacia confusa plantations had the lowest regenerated stem density, suggesting a possible effect of allelopathy. Seed traps placed in three Lophostemon confertus plantations showed that the seed rain into plantations is very variable. Two sites had a mean seed rain of only 11 -2 -1 -2 -1 seeds m yr while the third received 142 seeds m yr, but over 70% of them were of a single shrub species, Psychotria asiatica. Nineteen of the 20 woody seed species collected are bird-dispersed, suggesting that the attractiveness of the plantations to birds may control the seed input. On an annual basis, the number of seeds arriving in plantations is greater than the number of stems established, suggesting that other, post-dispersal, processes are limiting understory stem density. Eight species of native trees (Castanopsis concinna, Cyclobalanopsis neglecta, Elaeocarpus nitentifolius, Garcinia oblongifolia, Machilus breviflora, Mallotus paniculatus, Ormosia pachycarpa and Sterculia lanceolata) were under-planted in an Acacia confusa plantation and their growth was monitored for a year. Two species of Fagaceae with taller seedlings showed over 80% survival, but other species suffered a 90% loss from animal damage, apparently by Malayan porcupines (Hystrix brachyura). Mortality from other causes was minor, suggesting that if damage by wild mammals could be prevented, enrichment planting with native trees is a feasible way to increase plant diversity in plantations, as well as expanding the distribution of currently restricted forest species. Auto-trigger cameras placed in exotic plantations and adjacent spontaneous secondary forests photographed similar activities of large mammals. Most species do not avoid entering plantations, but whether they live in plantations or merely travel through them needs further investigation. The results of this study show that measures to accelerate and diversify the woody colonization of exotic plantations are needed if they are to fulfill their objective of r
