“…There exists a significant paucity of data concerning even basic ecological information of this family (Schreiber et al 1989), and five viverrid species are not yet represented in peer-reviewed literature (Brooke et al 2014). What studies do occur are dominated by camera trap deployments (Wilting et al 2010;Jennings et al 2015), survey transects (Heydon and Bulloh 1996;Iseborn et al 2010), and a handful of VHF studies (Joshi et al 1995;Grassman 1998;Grassman et al 2005a;Berhanu et al 2013;Camps and Alldredge 2013;Nakashima et al 2013). Viverrids are threatened by habitat loss and hunting, but also by lack of scientific information regarding rudimentary survival parameters (Schipper et al 2008;Brooke et al 2014).…”

The application of advanced technologies to the study of little-known species is a necessary step in generating effective conservation strategies. Despite the biological importance of the small carnivore guild, a paucity of data exists in terms of the spatial ecology of these species, largely due to logistical constraints of large and bulky collar units. This study reports the first known satellite collaring of a viverrid, the Malay civet (Viverra tangalunga), in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Stationary tests of two generations of 65-70 g e-obs GmbH 'Collar 1A' units recorded high fix success rates and good accuracy and precision under semi-open canopy. From October 2013-August 2015, nine adult V. tangalunga were fit with e-obs collars recording hourly nocturnal GPS locations. Collars were successfully deployed for 27-187 days. Field GPS fix success varied from 22 to 88.3 %, with the study documenting a total GPS success of 58.1 % across all individuals. Despite this large in-field performance range, the quality and quantity of data collected by these units surpass that of previous VHF studies on Asian viverrids, collecting on average a 16-fold increase in locations per collaring day. The successful application of satellite technology to these little-known carnivores carries significant biological and conservation implications, and it is recommended that satellite collars are a viable technology to conduct detailed and well-designed ecological studies of Viverridae species.

“…There are both terrestrial and arboreal species. In addition, despite their taxonomic status within the Carnivora, some civets feed almost exclusively on fruit, generally favouring sugar-rich and soft-pulped fruit (Heydon & Bulloh 1996;Rabinowitz 1991). As such, civets, and especially the more frugivorous species P. hermaphroditus and Arctogalidia trivirgata (Small-toothed Palm Civet) may be important seed dispersers (Medway 1978;Payne 1995).…”

“…↑ = increase in density after logging; ↓ = decrease in density or absent from recently logged areas; -= no signifi cant difference. Information on ecological stratifi cation was obtained from Heydon and Bulloh (1996) and Payne et al (1985).Life after logging | 89Data in Table 8 suggest that arboreal, frugivorous civets are less affected by logging, probably dependent on the degree to which fruit availability changes. Terrestrial species that are carnivorous or feed on insects are more sensitive.…”

“…Habitat Occurs in tall and secondary forests . Activity Nocturnal (Davis 1962;Heydon & Bulloh 1996); largely terrestrial (Medway 1978); at least partly arboreal and climbs well (Lekagul & McNeely 1977).Movements and migration Travels and feeds mostly on the ground, but sleeps in holes either in the ground or in trees .Feeding ecology Carnivorous (>95% animal matter) (Heydon & Bulloh 1996): orthopterans and worms (80%), and the remaining 20% consisting mostly of other invertebrates (Nowak 1999); rats (Maxomys rajah), seeds, Brachyura, Chilopoda, Annelida, Coleoptera, Araneae, and composite fl owers .Breeding ecology Pregnant female with one embryo taken in Borneo in February (Nowak 1999); in captivity eyes open at 8-12 days; fi rst solid food at about 70 days (Ewer 1973).Habitat loss and degradation Sighting frequencies in 6-year-old logged forest were only 15% of those in primary forest (Heydon & Bulloh 1996).Interspecifi c relationships No available information.

CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefi ts. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in collaboration with numerous partners.
