Space use, habitat selection, and day-beds of the common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) in human-modified habitats in Sabah, Borneo

Space use and habitat selection of mammals are determined by the distribution and availability of critical resources. Such information on space use and habitat selection is necessary for the conservation and management of wild populations. We revealed the determinants of habitat use for 12 common palm civets ( Paradoxurus hermaphroditus ) within a matrix of human-modified habitats in Sabah, Borneo. Although studies within natural forests have reported that space use of common palm civets is mainly determined by fruit availability, we hypothesized that space use in our study area might be affec...
