Using Case Studies to Improve the Critical Thinking Skills of Undergraduate Conservation Biology Students
Critical thinking (CT) underpins the analytical and systems-thinking capacities needed for effective conservation in the 21st century but is seldom adequately fostered in most postsecondary courses and programs. Many instructors fear that devoting time to process skills will detract from content gains and struggle to define CT skills in ways relevant for classroom practice. We tested an approach to develop and assess CT in undergraduate conservat…
Biocultural approaches to well-being and sustainability indicators across scales
Linking Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge of Climate Change
We explore the connections among indigenous climate-related narratives, documented temperature changes, and climate change impact studies from the scientific literature. We then propose a framework for enhancing synthesis of these indigenous narratives of observed climate change with global assessments. Our aim is to contribute to the thoughtful and respectful integration of indigenous knowledge with scientific data and analysis, so that this ric…
Current status of the habitat and population of the black howler monkey ( Alouatta pigra ) in Balancán, Tabasco, Mexico
We evaluated the habitat and populations of the black howler monkey ( Alouatta pigra ) in the municipality of Balancán, Tabasco, southeastern Mexico, using a combination of field surveys and remotely sensed data. We identified 21,937 ha of remnant vegetation composed of 1,348 fragments. Fragments separated by up to 200 m were grouped into “clusters” of fragments in accordance with the maximum observed open distance crossed by A. pigra . A total o…
The influence of seasonality on primate diet and ranging
Introduction To sustain animal populations, an adequate supply of consumable resources is essential. Effects of insufficient resources are well documented in primate populations in the form of reduced rates of fecundity, growth, and survival (Altmann et al . 1977; Hamilton 1985; Gould et al . 1999). Weight loss (Goldizen et al . 1988) and mortality peak during periods of low food availability on an annual (Milton 1980) or interannual basis (Foste…
Morphological variation within a macaque hybrid zone
A hybrid zone exists between Macaca tonkeana and Macaca hecki (Primates: Cercopithecidae), centered along the Tawaeli‐Toboli road in the narrow isthmus that connects North and Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The current study demonstrates morphological substructure from north to south across the hybrid zone. Macaques to the northwest of the Tawaeli‐Toboli road more closely resemble M. hecki , and macaques to the southeast of the road resemble M. ton…
