Practitioners’ perceived risks to biodiversity from renewable energy expansion through 2050
Large-scale (e.g., > 1 megawatt capacity) wind and solar energy (hereafter, LSWS) developments are increasing to aid decarbonization. However, LSWS can also negatively affect biodiversity. Planners and other interested parties’ perceptions about the impact of LSWS on biodiversity will thus affect how trade-offs are managed during planning and buildout. We present a survey of professionals ( n = 116) working at the intersection of LSWS and biodive…
Lessons learned in knowledge co-production for climate-smart decision-making
Climate change risks and adaptation options for Madagascar
Climate change poses an increasing threat to achieving development goals and is often considered in development plans and project designs. However, there have been challenges in the effective implementation of those plans, particularly in the sustained engagement of the communities to undertake adaptive actions, but also due to insufficient scientific information to inform management decisions. Madagascar is a country rich in natural capital and …
Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States
Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem services in the U.S. and implications for natural resource management. We draw from the 4th National Climate Assessment to summarize observed and projected changes to ecosystems and biodiversity, explore linkages to important ecosystem services,…
Morphometrics and pattern of growth in wild sifakas ( Propithecus edwardsi ) at ranomafana national park, madagascar
We summarize morphometric data collected over a period of 22 years from a natural population of rainforest sifakas ( Propithecus edwardsi ) at Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar, and we use those data to document patterns of growth and development. Individually identified, known‐age sifakas were successfully captured, measured, and released. We found that body segment lengths increased faster during growth than did body mass, with individuals a…
Volatile components of lemur scent secretions vary throughout the year
Olfactory signals can communicate a wide variety of information and are very important in many mammalian species. However, little is known about the olfactory communication of primates. This study used gas chromatography to examine the volatile components of the anogenital gland secretions of wild Milne‐Edward's sifaka, Propithecus edwardsi (Primates, Indriidae) (n = 17), captured in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar. We compared scent swabs o…
Patterns of male scent-marking inPropithecus edwardsi of Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
Scent-marking behavior has been well documented in many primate species. Three common functions attributed to scent-marking in males of multi-male/multi-female lemur species include: 1) advertisement of individual identity, 2) territorial defense, and 3) reproductive suppression. We examined the average number of scent-marks per hour exhibited daily by adult male sifakas (Propithecus edwardsi) and found that patterns of scent-marking changed with…
Sex differences in scent marking in Propithecus edwardsi of Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
In this study we compared the scent‐marking rates of females with those of males. Specifically, we examined the ability of season, dominance status, and natal status to explain the frequency of scent marking in female sifakas living wild in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar, and compared the results with those published for males [Pochron et al., American Journal of Primatology, in press]. We also sought to determine whether vulnerability to i…
Anogenital gland secretions of Lemur catta and Propithecus verreauxi coquereli
Although prosimians are greatly olfaction‐oriented, little is known about the specifics of how they use scent to communicate. In this preliminary study we attempted to delineate intra‐ and interspecific differences among the anogenital gland secretions of two lemur species ( Lemur catta and Propithecus verreauxi coquereli ) using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The results indicate that the two species are discernible through scent.…
