Activity of wild Japanese macaques in Yakushima revealed by camera trapping: Patterns with respect to season, daily period and rainfall
Animals are subject to various scales of temporal environmental fluctuations, among which daily and seasonal variations are two of the most widespread and significant ones. Many biotic and abiotic factors change temporally, and climatic factors are particularly important because they directly affect the cost of thermoregulation. The purpose of the present study was to determine the activity pat...
متن کاملEcosystem impacts of folivory and frugivory by Japanese macaques in two temperate forests in Yakushima.
Comparing animal consumption to plant primary production provides a means of assessing an animal's impact on the ecosystem and an evaluation of resource limitation. Here, we compared annual fruit and leaf consumption by Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) relative to the annual production of these foods in the lowlands and highlands of Yakushima Island, Japan. We estimated consumption by macaque...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Sarcina ventriculi Strains Isolated from Wild Japanese Macaques in Yakushima Island
We report the draft genome sequences of Sarcina ventriculi strains 14 and 17, both isolated from feces of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui). These genomic sequences will be helpful for the phylogenetic consideration of the family Clostridiaceae and understanding of the contribution of intestinal microbiota to the survival of Yakushima macaques.
متن کاملFlavonoid Patterns and their Diversity in ten Stachys L. (Lamiaceae) Species from Iran
Stachys genus with medicinal properties and high polymorphic features has been considered oneof the largest genera of Lamiaceae. The aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid patternvariations and flavonoid groups in ten Stachys species belonging to two sections; Fragilicaulis,and Aucheriana. The studied species were collected from natural habitats in Iran and analysedfor their flavonoid...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Neotyphodium fungal endophytes in three Iranian grass species using AFLP molecular markers
Genetic diversity of fungal endophytes, Neotyphodium species, was studied in grasses Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne using AFLP markers. Fungi were isolated from the host leaf sheaths and Neotyphodium species were selected based on morphological characteristics. To confirm identity of selected fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium, polymerase chain reaction was perform...
