The number of endemics and near-endemics is uncertain for two main reasons: some species (especially bats) are known from only a handful of specimens, so they could easily turn up elsewhere; and suitable habitat in adjacent territories (e.g., Kalimantan) may have been insufficiently studied. A couple of montane forms in Peninsular Malaysia, otherwise endemic, might extend just across the border into Thailand. One bat, Myotis oreias, is known from only a single specimen from Singapore, where later surveys have failed to find it; if the species is valid, it might still survive in Malaysia or elsewhere in the region. 5
THE STATUS OF MAMMALIAN BIODIVERSITY IN MALAYSIA Table 3. Species of mammals known predominantly from within the political boundaries of Malaysia, but which are either known or almost certainly occur in similar habitats in adjacent territories. Tupaia longipes* Sabah and Sarawak, southwards into East Kalimantan Dendrogale melanura Mountains of north & central Borneo – under-recorded Kalimantan? Hipposideros ridleyi Extinct in Singapore, otherwise only known within Malaysia Callosciurus baluensis Mountains of north & central Borneo – under-recorded Kalimantan? Callosciurus adamsi Not recorded yet from Kalimantan? Callosciurus orestes Mountains of north & central Borneo – under-recorded Kalimantan? Petaurillus hosei / kinlochi* Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak; known from Brunei *Taxonomic status uncertain In addition to endemics and near-endemics, Malaysia possesses some mammal populations of major significance; either they represent a significant proportion of the whole species, or they are genetically distinctive. Bennett (1991) estimated about 2000 to 3000 Proboscis monkeys Nasalis larvatus in Sabah, and fewer than 1000 in Sarawak. Numbers in Kalimantan are not known, but the Malaysian population might be one quarter or one third of the world population. There are about 11,000 Orang-utans Pongo pygmaeus morio in Sabah, and perhaps 500 Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus in Sarawak. The Sabah population is one of the largest in the world, with tremendous conservation importance. The Sabah population of the Asian Elephant Elephas maximus, which just extends into East Kalimantan, may amount to 1600 individuals. Not only is this a relatively large proportion of the whole species (about 5%), but the population is genetically distinctive, and therefore it is also internationally important (Fernando et al., 2003). These are just three examples of mammals for which Malaysia has special conservation responsibilities. Around 87 out of the total number of Malaysian mammals (about 292, according to the splitting taxonomy adopted by IUCN 2004) have been given some sort of conservation risk status (Table 4). They include six Critically Endangered, 15 Endangered, 24 Vulnerable, 33 Lower Risk, and nine Data Deficient species. They represent about 30% of Malaysia’s mammals. Of the 30 Malaysian endemics, 3 are Critically Endangered, 4 Endangered, 5 Vulnerable, 2 Lower Risk and 3 Data Deficient, making 17 or 57% of the endemics under some degree of threat, as far as they have been assessed. IUCN (2004) in fact lists 111 species at risk, but their total includes 18 marine mammals not considered here—for some of these, occurrence is anecdotal—and three terrestrial species that have not in fact occurred in Malaysia (Macaca leonina, Prionailurus viverrinus (possible), and Ursus thibetanus). Pangolin, elephant and flying lemur are the three mammalian orders with only one local representative each. Loss of genetic diversity in any of these could be ranked as a more serious national loss than, say, the loss of genetic diversity in a family or genus with many representatives. Since the last edition of the most recent taxonomic summaries (Medway 1983; Payne et al. 1985) there has been one significant change at family level (Herpestidae is often now recognized as separate from Viverridae); nine changes at generic level (a new genus Pithecheirops; generic splits e.g. Arielulus, Hypsugo, etc.), and about 23 changes at species level (truly new discoveries; taxonomic splits; sunk as synonyms; name changes). 6
