Of the macaque species, M. nemestrina was mainly predicted to occur in forested areas whereas M. fascicularis was predicted to occur in vegetation mosaics, cropland, wetland and urban areas in addition to forested areas. Conclusions: The predicted M. fascicularis distribution encompassed a wide range of habitats where humans are found. This is of most significance in the northern part of its range where members of the Dirus Complex are the main P. knowlesi vectors because these mosquitoes were also predicted to occur in a wider range of habitats. Our results support the hypothesis that conversion of intact forest into disturbed forest (for example plantations or timber concessions), or the creation of vegetation mosaics, will increase the probability that members of the Leucosphyrus Complex occur at these locations, as well as bringing humans into these areas. An explicit analysis of disease risk itself using infection data is required to explore this further. The species distributions generated here can now be included in future analyses of P. knowlesi infection risk. © 2016 Moyes et al.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:00 AEST ]]> Undiagnosed cryptic diversity in small, microendemic frogs (Leptolalax) from the Central Highlands of Vietnam http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10135 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:55:27 AEST ]]> The impact of deforestation and pasture abandonment on soil properties in the wet tropics of Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:728 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:31:42 AEST ]]>
