Fig. 1 in Common occurrence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes SHR1 and PL2 in farmed masked palm civet (Paguma larvata) in China
Fig. 1. Phylogenetic relationships of the E. bieneusi genotypes. The relationships were inferred using NJ analysis of the ITS rRNA gene and the values generated greater than 70% are shown beside the nodes. Genotypes with hollow circles and filled circles are known and novel genotypes identified in this study, respectively.

Common palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) are positively associated with humans and forest degradation with implications for seed dispersal and zoonotic diseases
<p>Habitat loss and degradation can undermine wildlife communities and ecosystem functioning. However, certain generalist wildlife species like mesopredators and omnivores can exploit these disturbed habitats, sometimes leading to population increases (e.g., "mesopredator release" in degraded areas). Although mesopredator release may cause negative effects on food webs and zoonotic disease management, some disturbance-tolerant species may help perpetuate important ecological interactions, such as seed dispersal.</p> <p>We evaluated the habitat associations of common palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), which are widespread generalist mesopredators in Southeast Asia. Common palm civets are also high-quality seed dispersers, and potential zoonotic disease hosts.</p> <p>We used published and new camera trapping data to map their probability of presence across Southeast Asia and evaluate regional-scale associations between capture rates and habitat variables such as elevation, ecoregion intactness, and Human Footprint Index, among others. We also assessed the influence of habitat variables on their relative abundance at the local scale.</p> <p>At the regional scale, we found that common palm civets showed significant positive associations with landscapes characterized by lower ecoregion intactness, higher Human Footprint Index, and lower elevations. At the local scale, their relative abundance showed a significant positive association with higher Human Footprint Index, but only to a certain point, after which it started decreasing. They also favored lower elevations at the local scale.</p> <p>These multi-scale results indicate that common palm civets' abundance can increase under certain levels of human disturbances, consistent with the "mesopredator release" hypothesis. This suggests they may be crucial seed dispersers in degraded forest landscapes, especially where more sensitive seed dispersers have disappeared. Our results are also consistent with previous studies reporting that habitat degradation increases populations of potential zoonotic disease hosts, and thus risks of transmission to humans.</p>

Effect of the common palm civet's gut passage on seed germination of fleshy fruits in Pachmarhi Wildlife Sanctuary, Central India
<p>Frugivorous carnivores like civets consume fruits of many species and play an important role in their seed dispersal by virtue of depositing their scats farther away from the parent tree. This study was conducted to understand the role of the common palm civet in affecting the seed germination rate of three plant species (i.e., <em>Syzygium cumini, Phoenix sylvestris, and Ficus racemosa</em>) in a tropical moist deciduous forest. We collected scats of common palm civets in Pachmarhi Wildlife Sanctuary, Central India, and monitored the germination rate of these species for 90 days. Further, to understand the patters of seed selection (if there are any), for seeds of a specific size, we compared the length, width, and mass of the civet-ingested seeds with those of the control seeds. We had to discard the analyses on<em> F. racemosa</em> as none of its seeds in any treatment group germinated even after 50 days. Our results show a differential impact of gut passage: civet-ingested <em>P. sylvestris</em> seeds experienced a higher germination percentage compared to the control seeds, whilst gut passage did not alter the seed germination of<em> S. cumini</em>. However, seed germination speed (proportion of seeds germinated per day) for both species, <em>P. sylvestris </em>and <em>S. cumini</em>, was faster for civet-ingested seeds compared to their respective controls. Our findings also show that civets preferred seeds that were lesser in length and width and weighed lesser in the case of <em>P. sylvestris</em>, however, no such statistically significant difference was found for seed selection in the case of <em>S. cumini</em>. Thus, our study shows that civets act as a legitimate seed disperser of plant species and exert a differential impact on altering the germination rate.</p>
