“…Thus, seed availability within the tree can exert an important source of variation when analysing the foraging patterns of seed predator assemblages. It has also been suggested that birds perceive less predation risk at higher positions in the tree (Knight & Fitzner 1985, Datta & Pal 1993, Krams 2001) and, thus, they could be sensitive to their location in the tree. Additionally, some seedeating birds increase their activity (e.g.…”

“…Wildlife showing negative responses to tourism and related human activity include: passerines Temple 1986a, 1986b), eagles (Fraser et al 1985;Huxley 1994), ospreys (Ames and Mersereau 1964), gulls (Anderson and Keith 1980), ducks (Reichholf 1976;Gabrielsen and Smith 1995), storks (Datta and Pal 1993), albatrosses (Higham 1998), pelicans (Anderson 1988;Gutzwiller 1995), divers (Fraser et al 1985), grebes (Keller 1989), penguins (Giese 1995), turtles ( Jacobson and Figueroa-Lopez 1994), and alligators and crocodiles (Deitz and Hines 1980and Cott 1969cited in Liddle 1997). An actual decline in breeding success has been demonstrated by Anderson (1988), Giese (1995), Higham (1998), Keller (1989), Knight and Fitzner (1985), and Reichholf (1976).…”

“…Nest desertion in response to human activity, even if temporary, is often followed -sometimes immediatelyby predation of eggs or young (Anderson and Keith 1980;Deitz and Hines 1980;Fraser et al 1985;Datta and Pal 1993;Cott 1969cited in Liddle 1997. It can also result in exposure to lethal temperatures (Fraser et al 1985), eggs rolling from the nest as the startled parents leave (Ames and Mersereau 1964), young fleeing in panic and not re-uniting with parents (Anderson and Keith 1980), and depleted energy reserves of parents and young Temple 1986a, 1986b;Gabrielsen and Smith 1995).…”

Tourism based on free-ranging animals is economically important, but there are no comprehensive studies on the overall balance of its negative and positive effects on wildlife. However, there is a growing body of information on which we can draw for minimizing negative effects and enhancing positive ones. Major categories of negative effects include: direct injury and death; disruption of activities or increase in stress levels; and loss or modification of habitat. About half the published research literature on negative effects involves relatively conspicuous avian species, and there is a need for further research on other taxa. Major categories of positive effects include financial and practical contributions by tourists and tourism operators, economic incentives for wildlife conservation (acting through local communities, the tourism industry and governments) and environmental education. There is far less information on positive than on negative effects, and research is required to examine this quantitatively. However, the evidence suggests there is considerable unrealized potential for wildlife tourism to provide substantial conservation benefits.

“…In 1997, 6396 nests were observed in Lat Krabang District, which is largely included in our study area. This species can adapt to some elements of manmade landscapes (Datta and Pal 1993), so that it is suitable for use in our study area as an indicator to evaluate various aspects of wet urban-rural landscape mosaics.…”

Dynamic wetland mosaic environments and Asian openbill habitat creation in peri-urban Bangkok

This study examined the spatial relationships between various types of wetland and the distribution of Asian openbills (Anastomus oscitans) as an indicator species in a peri-urban industrial area of Bangkok. We (1) mapped the study area by using a time series of aerial photographs combined with field validations, (2) conducted a 2-year line census of Asian openbills in the field, (3) interviewed local farmers and residents about Asian openbill populations and spatial distributions, and (4) conducted an overlay analysis to statistically identify land-use factors related to spatiotemporal changes in the Asian openbill population and distribution. We found that the number of ponds increased from 1980 to 1999 and then decreased from 1999 to 2010, but the remaining ponds were relatively temporally stable in their numbers and volumes. Paddy fields were primarily replaced by aquaculture ponds, and excavated soil was used as fill in adjoining built-up areas. The number of coconut, banana, mango and other trees planted around the ponds increased during the period, providing Asian openbill habitat. The openbills fed in the remaining paddy fields, and the simultaneous existence of various rice cultivation stages in the area provided a stable year-round source of food. Overall, the results indicated that this expanding urban-rural mosaic landscape could include further spatial distribution of Asian openbills in the future. This study of Asian openbills reveals just one example of the ecosystem services provided by developments creating pond-fill landscapes, and the methods used may be applicable in other similar continental delta regions.
