Green spaces in synanthropic environments are known to provide suitable habitats for wildlife species; however, these green spaces also influence the dynamics of bat populations, especially due to their sensitivity to habitat fragmentation, which has conservation and ecological implications. Currently, there is still limited information on bats’ ha...
The 93-hectare Hijo Forest, owned by the Hijo Resources Corporation, is known for its rich flora and fauna species, such as the populations of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and Philippine warty pigs (Sus philippensis). In 2021, the Hijo management reported a mass die-off of Philippine warty pigs in the area due to the African Swine Fev...
Evolvulus nummularius (L.) L. of the Convolvulaceae family has a pantropical distribution, but its occurrence is reported first time in the Philippines. The discovery of this alien species began during the photo documentation of the plant specimens in the botanical garden at the College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mind...
Long-tailed macaques in the Philippines are understudied in terms of ecology and behavior, which includes their sexual behaviors, in their natural habitats. Masturbation is a natural, auto-erotic behavior rarely observed in the wild in most non human primates. In this paper, we report an act of masturbation by a free-ranging male long-tailed macaqu...
Mangrove ecosystem is a highly dynamic environment due to the tidal and seasonal variations of its physical and chemical properties, influencing its diversity and community structure. Six mangrove ecosystems on the southern coast of Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, were studied, and their species composition, diversity, and structural community were...
Raganas AFM, Magcale-Macandog DBM. 2020. Physicochemical factors influencing zonation patterns, niche width, and tolerances of dominant mangroves in southern Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. Ocean Life 4: 51-62. Physicochemical factors are known for having a strong influence on the spatial patterns and structural complexity of mangroves. In this rega...
