“…These results of living situation of animals/birds/insects reflect the total number of animals and migration situation, and demonstrate the health condition of ecosystem from the perspective of biology (Nasi et al 2009). Ecological corridors are believed to facilitate movement between connected patches of a habitat, which increases gene flow, promotes the reestablishment of locally extinct populations, and increases species diversity in otherwise isolated areas (Tilman, Kareiva 1997).…”

Abstract. Based on 270 questionnaire surveys in 8 cities of 5 industrial corridors in China, this study aims to examine the effects of industry construction on the evaluation of environmental pollution, natural environment, built environment, personal perception and development and policy. The results show that the evaluations on environmental pollution and landscape design are both below the medium level, but the evaluations of the living comfort and safety are both above the medium level. Further analysis, females usually give lower evaluation scores than males, and age and health situations are negatively related to the evaluation results; People indicate a great desire to reduce the environmental pollution and protect the natural environment. Moreover, the landscape was analysed using colour extraction techniques based on video recording, there are significant correlations between industrial pixel ratio and evaluation results of air quality, vegetation pixel ratio and evaluation results of river water quality, and public facilities pixel ratio and evaluation results of comfort levels.

“…It is possible for matrix habitat to become a mutually useful "shared space" (Lee 2010 ) between humans and nonhuman primates. Some studies indicate that the economic loss associated with crop-raiding is considerably less than that perceived by land owners (Siex and Struhsaker 1999 ;Williams-Guillén et al 2006 ;Riley 2007 ), and others report primate use of agricultural lands with no crop damage at all (Muñoz et al 2006 ;Nasi et al 2008 ). Farmers can often reduce the impact of crop-raiding by planting less desirable crops, such as coffee or tea, as a buffer zone between highly favored crops and forested areas (Nijman and Nekaris 2010 ).…”

Anthropogenic Habitat Modification, Tourist Interactions and Crop-Raiding in Howler Monkeys

In this chapter, we review how anthropogenic disturbance specifi cally impacts members of the genus Alouatta , one of the most geographically expansive and ecologically fl exible of platyrrhine groups. This report initiates with a brief discussion of the use of matrix landscapes, the effects of ecotourism, and the potential for crop-raiding by howler monkeys. We then present three case studies of howler monkey responses to these challenges. We found that tourism in Suriname leads to greater travel and foraging time and poorer health for A. macconnelli. A. palliata in Costa Rica living in an agricultural matrix respond to habitat modification through active crop-raiding, and A. pigra in Mexico provide an illustration of how to evaluate remnant monkey populations for potential ecotourism. The chapter concludes with recommendations for encouraging shared landscapes with howler monkeys, including ways to minimize crop damage by monkeys and ways to encourage sustainable, conservation-based ecotourism.Resumen En este capítulo, revisamos cómo los disturbios antropogénicos impactan de manera directa a los miembros del género Alouatta , los cuales son platirrinos con una amplia distribución geográfi ca y notable plasticidad ecológica para adaptarse a su entorno. Iniciamos con una breve discusión sobre el uso de la matriz del paisaje, un análisis de los efectos del ecoturismo y el papel de los monos aulladores en el uso de los recursos que contienen los agrosistemas. Presentamos tres casos de estudio en los que se muestra la respuesta de los monos aulladores a estos desafíos. Encontramos que el turismo en Surinam promueve un mayor tiempo de viaje y

“…Plantations may present a low-contrast, permeable matrix where its habitat attributes are similar to previous land cover and surrounding forested areas (Lantschner et al, 2008;Pawson et al, 2008). Such plantations can support many species, including those of conservation concern (Berndt et al, 2008;Brockerhoff et al, 2008), assist dispersal and colonisation through increased connectivity of embedded remnants (Renjifo, 2001;Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2007;Nasi et al, 2008), and buffer remnants from microclimatic edge effects (Denyer et al, 2006). In general, plantations have better conservation potential than agricultural land (Grabham et al, 2002;Loyn et al, 2007;Pawson et al, 2008) and may provide habitat heterogeneity that help to retain species on a landscape-scale, and potentially, regional level (Lindenmayer and Hobbs, 2004).…”

“…Native plantations in particular have greater potential in sheltering native fauna than exotic plantations (Farwig et al, 2008). However, depending on the history of land-use prior to plantation establishment, landscape context, management goal and intensity, and taxa or species-specific requirements, plantations may support a depauperate or a different suite of fauna from forests, or remain impoverished in high conservation value species for decades (Parris and Lindenmayer, 2004;Aubin et al, 2008;Nasi et al, 2008;van Halder et al, 2008), so there is a need to understand the level of contribution of plantations in enhancing the prospect of species or guilds of conservation concern in specific areas.…”
