  • Lineages, Splits and Divergence Challenge Whether the Terms Anagenesis and Cladogenesis Are Necessary
    Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, , – . With 2 figures. Lineages, splits and divergence challenge whether the terms anagenesis and cladogenesis are necessary FELIX VAUX*, STEVEN A. TREWICK and MARY MORGAN-RICHARDS Ecology Group, Institute of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Received 3 June 2015; revised 22 July 2015; accepted for publication 22 July 2015 Using the framework of evolutionary lineages to separate the process of evolution and classification of species, we observe that ‘anagenesis’ and ‘cladogenesis’ are unnecessary terms. The terms have changed significantly in meaning over time, and current usage is inconsistent and vague across many different disciplines. The most popular definition of cladogenesis is the splitting of evolutionary lineages (cessation of gene flow), whereas anagenesis is evolutionary change between splits. Cladogenesis (and lineage-splitting) is also regularly made synonymous with speciation. This definition is misleading as lineage-splitting is prolific during evolution and because palaeontological studies provide no direct estimate of gene flow. The terms also fail to incorporate speciation without being arbitrary or relative, and the focus upon lineage-splitting ignores the importance of divergence, hybridization, extinction and informative value (i.e. what is helpful to describe as a taxon) for species classification. We conclude and demonstrate that evolution and species diversity can be considered with greater clarity using simpler, more transparent terms than anagenesis and cladogenesis. Describing evolution and taxonomic classification can be straightforward, and there is no need to ‘make words mean so many different things’. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, 00, 000–000.

  • Evidence for the Persistence of Arabian Wolf (Canis Lupus Pallipes) in the Ibex Reserve, Saudi Arabia and Its Preferred Prey Species
    Evidence for the persistence of Arabian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) in the Ibex Reserve, Saudi Arabia and its preferred prey species by Torsten Wronski and William Macasero Abstract. Numbers of Arabian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) on the Arabian Peninsula are in de- cline and intact ecosystems in which large carnivores prey on larger mammals are virtually absent in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, many canids roaming in the Kingdom are hybrids be- tween feral dogs and wolves. In this study we provide genetic evidence for the persistence of wolves in the Jebel Tuwaiq ecosystem (Ibex Reserve) in central Saudi Arabia and we provide in- formation on the preferred prey species of wolves in this protected area. Key words. Arabian wolf, Ibex Reserve, Saudi Arabia, prey species, hybridisation, feral dogs. Introduction The wolves of the Arabian Peninsula were formerly attributed to Canis lupus arabs Pokock, 1934 (NADER & BÜTTIKER 1980, GASPARETTI et al. 1985, NADER 1990, HARRISON & BATES 1991) but more recent publication consider these populations as synonymous with Canis lupus pallipes Sykes, 1831 described from Deccan in India (MECH & BOITANI 2004, WILSON & REEDER 2005). The Arabian Wolf on the Arabian Peninsula is in decline occupying ap- proximately 75% of its former range, with an estimated total number of 500 to 600 animals on the peninsula (MECH & BOITANI 2004). Detailed numbers for Saudi Arabia are not avail- able. Wolves are not protected in Saudi Arabia and are subject to heavy prosecution (MECH & BOITANI 2004, NCWCD 2007). The protection in the Kingdom is difficult since the spe- cies is considered the nemesis of Bedouins since time immemorial (GASPARETTI et al.

Six cheetah (Acyninoxjubatus), two serval (Felis serval) and one tiger (Panthera tigris) were given various scents: male domestic cat urine; a synthetic analogue of domestic cat facial pheromone; mouse odour; peppermint and catnip, in order to determine whether scent as an enviro nmental enrichment can effectively modify felid behaviour. All of the scents elicited a response that was significantly different to the control presentation. The synthetic fe line facial pheromone elicited the greatest response, particularly from the fe males in the study. However, despite these results, the interest shown in the scents was limited, and due to the small sample size and other constrictions that arise fromworking with a zoo, the effectiveness of scent as a tool for environmental enrichment remains inconclusive and furtherresea rch is needed. The further possibilities of scent as an environmental technique were investigated at Massey University's Feline Nutrition Unit.

  • Arabian Wolf (Canis Lupus Arabs), Is One of the Smallest Sub-Species of the Grey Wolf
    Life and behaviour of wolves The Arabian or Desert Wolf Sandra Benson, UKWCT Little is known about this rare sub-species of the grey wolf. Sandra Benson tracks down the facts. HISTORICAL RANGE The Arabian wolf (canis lupus arabs), is one of the smallest sub-species of the grey wolf. It was once found living throughout the entire Arabian Peninsula, but now can only be found in small clusters of Southern Israel, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and possibly in parts of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. This small wolf lives in one of the most extreme environments on earth; the arid and semi-arid areas of the Middle East. Inhabiting mountainous areas, gravel plains and desert fringes, these wolves have large home ranges which they patrol constantly. They escape the heat by digging deep dens and burrows, but as they cannot survive without water, they do not wander far into the great sand deserts. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) desert has seen the extinction of many indigenous species and among these is the Arabian wolf, not seen wild in this area since the 1980s. To see this wolf in the UAE one would need to visit Arabia's Wildlife Centre in Sharjah (www.breedingcentresharjah.com) PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The Arabian wolf is a desert adapted Scientific Classification canid and although one of the smallest wolves, is one of the largest canids in Kingdom: Animalia Arabia. Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Their coat hairs are thin, short, wiry and Order: Carnivora light in colour, varying from light brown Family: Canidae through to a greyish yellow, with the Genus: Canis stomach being paler or white.

    ECOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN GREY WOLF (Canis lupus pallipes Sykes, 1831) IN THE DECCAN GRASSLANDS OF SOLAPUR, MAHARASHTRA SUMMARY Thesis submitted for the Degree of JDoctoir oif ]P]huLl(0)SO)|p)]hiy IN ILDLIFE SCIENCE BY SATISH KUMAR CENTRE OF WILDLIFE & ORNITHOLOGY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) r.^'^^S 1998 SUMMARY Introduction The Indian Grey Wolf Canis lupus pallipes is one of the smallest wolves of the world. This subspecies represents the southern most limit of the range of wolf distribution in the world. The distribution range of the Canis lupus pallipes extends from Israel, Syria, southern Iraq, southern Iran, Kuwait in the Middle East to southern Afghanistan and Pakistan to India. Wolf as well as Blackbuck Antelope cervicapra are classified as endangered species in the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act. 1972. The range of these species has constricted mainly because of shooting and destruction of grasslands. Except for preliminary status surveys in India, there is lack of infomnation with regard to wolf behaviour, dynamics, natality, mortality, food supply and livestock depredation which results in wolf-man conflict. During the first two decades of independence, the Blackbuck which was abundant all over the Indian plains but especially in the Deccan, was hunted out in most of its range. However, since the enactment of Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972, there has been resurgence of Blackbuck populations in certain areas such as Nannaj. The Blackbuck being a major natural prey of the wolf, the latter has also increased or stabilized in some areas. However, wolf is a regular predator of livestock, which brings It In direct conflict with humans which needs special emphasis.

  • Thesis a Noninvasive Method Using Auditory Predator
    THESIS A NONINVASIVE METHOD USING AUDITORY PREDATOR CALLS AND HAIR SNARES TO DETECT AND GENETICALLY SAMPLE COUGARS (Puma concolor) Submitted by Kirstie L. Yeager Graduate Degree Program in Ecology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: William L. Kendall Mathew W. Alldredge Kevin R. Crooks W. Chris Funk Copyright by Kirstie L. Yeager 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A NONINVASIVE METHOD USING AUDITORY PREDATOR CALLS AND HAIR SNARES TO DETECT AND GENETICALLY SAMPLE COUGARS (Puma concolor) A noninvasive method that will sample all individuals in a population over multiple occasions is a useful tool in assessing population demographics with little disturbance to the target animals; however, finding such a method for large carnivores, such as cougars, is challenging due to their elusive nature and large home-range sizes. Current methods to sample cougars usually involve a physical capture component, but obtaining reliable estimates can be difficult and cost prohibitive when using capture as the sole sampling method. Because cougars leave sign, and exhibit behaviors like territoriality and curiosity, a noninvasive-genetic-sampling (NGS) method may be a plausible alternative. Hair contains DNA, which can be genetically analyzed to yield the individual identification necessary for population assessments and can be obtained without handling the animal. I tested NGS techniques using attractants, specifically scent lures and auditory calls, and hair snares to sample cougars at lure sites on the Front Range, Colorado during February – April, 2012 and November, 2012 – April, 2013. First, I established 16 – 20 sites over four ≈ 30-day sampling periods.
