Living together in the night: abundance and habitat use of sympatric and allopatric populations of slow lorises and tarsiers (2013, background): “Past studies on slow lorises have found that they occupy numerous types of environment, from plantations and other agricultural areas to heavily degraded forests and pristine forests (Elliot & Elliot 1967, Wiens & Zitzmann 2003, Radhakrishna et al. 2006, Nekaris et al. 2008).”
Field surveys of the Vulnerable pygmy slow loris Nycticebus pygmaeus using local knowledge in Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia (2011, methodology): “The encounter rates of 0.10–0.40 km-1 are similar to those from other studies, ranging from 0.02 km-1 for the Bornean slow loris Nycticebus menagensis to 0.80 km-1 for the greater slow loris N. coucang (Nekaris et al., 2008).”
Estimating mammalian species richness and occupancy in tropical forest canopies with arboreal camera traps (2017, background): “…for nocturnal species, detecting even a highly cryptic dwarf porcupine, while transect methods would have required separate night-time transects with a spotlight, which is rarely done in tropical forests and would at least double the required survey effort (Duckworth 1998; Nekaris et al. 2008).”
