Preliminary study on Population status and Activity budgeting of Western Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) in the Inner-line Reserved Forest of Barak valley, Assam, India
In India, the Hoolock gibbon, Hoolock hoolock, is found only in a small part in the northeast, south of the Brahmaputra River and east of the Dibang River. The Hoolock gibbon, a canopy dependent species, occurs in some reserve forests of Cachar district of Barak Valley, Assam. but its numbers is declining due to habitat loss and hunting. They are now surviving in some isolated pockets in the re...
متن کاملEffects of tsaoko (Fructus tsaoko) cultivating on tree diversity and canopy structure in the habitats of eastern hoolock gibbon (Hoolock leuconedys).
In this study, the quadrat method was used to study the effects of tsaoko (Fructus tsaoko) plantation on tree diversity and canopy structure of two natural habitats of eastern hoolock gibbon (Hoolock leuconedys): Nankang (characterized by extensive tsaoko plantation) and Banchang (relatively well reserved and without tsaoko plantation). Totally, 102 tree species from 25 families and 16 woody li...
متن کاملCentromere Remodeling in Hoolock leuconedys (Hylobatidae) by a New Transposable Element Unique to the Gibbons
Gibbons (Hylobatidae) shared a common ancestor with the other hominoids only 15-18 million years ago. Nevertheless, gibbons show very distinctive features that include heavily rearranged chromosomes. Previous observations indicate that this phenomenon may be linked to the attenuated epigenetic repression of transposable elements (TEs) in gibbon species. Here we describe the massive expansion of...
متن کاملFatal Flexner Bacillus Infection in an Anthropoid Ape (Hylobates Hoolock)
It is of some interest, if not importance, to determine the pathogenicity or otherwise of the serological agents of human disease to the higher apes, since such studies may possibly throw light upon the evolution of human diseases. Thus Dobell (1930) has shown that Entamoeba histolytica parasitizes not only man, but also monkeys of genus Macacus, and probably other monkeys as well; the monkey s...
متن کاملIncorporating movement behavior into conservation prioritization in fragmented landscapes: An example of western hoolock gibbons in Garo Hills, India
Connectivity is increasingly of conservation concern due to ongoing habitat fragmentation, land-use dynamics and climate change. Connectivity patterns result from interactions between dispersers and the environment. However, connectivity assessments often ignore responses of dispersers to matrix types or characterize matrix resistance using habitat-use, rather than movement, data. We compare co...
