- Non-Invasive Individual Re-Identification of Water Monitors (Varanus salvator) Using Deep Learning
Chayatorn Thongsub, Chattraphas Pongcharoen, Warong Suksavate et al. · Diversity · 2026-09 · open access
Effective management of urban Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator (Laurenti, 1768)) populations requires precise individual identification, yet traditional physical-marking methods remain invasive and labor-intensive. This study developed a non-invasive, automated photographic re-identification…
- Mitigating Effects of Nest Structure on Predation Risk in Hainan Partridge ( Arborophila ardens ).
Zhang Y, Ding Y, Wang J et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2026-08 · open access
Nest predation is the primary factor contributing to breeding failure, particularly in tropical regions. Enclosed nest structures can disrupt predator search efficiency and reduce predation risk. However, their effectiveness varies with environmental conditions. In this study, we tested whether the…

Keberadaan predator merupakan faktor lingkungan yang berpengaruh besar terhadap keberhasilan usaha peternakan unggas, sehingga inventarisasi, analisis pola aktivitas, dan pemetaan risiko menjadi komponen penting dalam penguatan biosekuriti. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada November 2025 di kandang…
- Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan ( Pongo pygmaeus morio ) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices.
Heon SP, Bernard H, Ewers RM · Ecology and evolution · 2025-12 · open access
Over the past decade, more than 600 rehabilitated Bornean Orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus morio ) have been released into protected forests in Borneo. Releasing rehabilitant Bornean Orangutans into the wild is a standard conservation practice, yet monitoring postrelease survival remains a challenge.…
- Skeletochronology, Body Growth and Effectiveness of Growth Marks to Estimate the Ages of Sumatran Water Monitor Lizards ( Varanus salvator macromaculatus ).
Kurniati H, Phadmacanty NLPR, Semiadi G et al. · Tropical life sciences research · 2025-10 · open access
Demand for water monitor lizards ( Varanus salvator macromaculatus ) from Sumatra and Kalimantan for the leather industry is the highest compared to varanid species from Java ( V. s. bivittatus ) or Sulawesi ( V. s. ziegleri ). No conclusive evidence on the age estimate of the individuals being…
- Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor ( Varanus Salvator )
Leo Foulds, Donan Satria Yudha, Parvez Alam · Advanced Robotics Research · 2025-10 · open access
ABSTRACT In this paper,we consider the feasibility of mimicking the sprawling gait of a live varanid ( Varanus salvator ) using a necrobot (named: Pak Biawak), a robot constructed using the skeletal parts of a deceased varanid of the same species. Pak Biawak is manufactured using simple joints and…
- Water Monitor predation on a Hog Deer fawn at Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India
Saurav Kumar Boruah, Luku Ranjan Nath, Shisukanta Nath et al. · Journal of Threatened Taxa · 2025-10 · open access
On the evening of 5th April 2023, a team of wildlife photographers and researchers witnessed an event of Asian water monitor Varanus salvator, (Laurenti, 1768) praying on a hog deer (Axis porcinus) fawn which has never been reported earlier. Monitor lizards is a predator with wide range of food…
