Determinants of sun bear Helarctos malayanus habitat use in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and its predicted distribution under future forest degradation and loss
Habitat loss, habitat degradation and poaching threaten the survival of large mammals in Southeast Asia. Studies on these threats tend to focus on small spatial scales (i.e. a protected area), precluding region-wide species assessments that can inform conservation management. Using existing camera trap data, we constructed occupancy models to understand patterns of habitat use as well as predict the distribution of sun bears Helarctos malayanus across Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. We found that bear distribution was related to above-ground carbon density and human settlement density, characteristic... Mehr ...
