For mammals, the patterns of diversification of Mesoamerican taxa still are controversial. Reasons for this include the region’s complex geologic history, and the relatively recent timing of such geological events.

González-Cózatl (2017) The genus Megadontomys is a Mexican endemic group of rodents with allopatric populations occurring in fragmented patches of cool-humid forest. In this study we used geometric morphometrics methods to assess patterns of morphological variation and differentiation in skull and mandible among and within species of the genus. ANOVA showed that sexual dimorphism was significant for skulls size P( < 0.01) but not for mandibles, and MANOVA indicated that both structures did not differ in shape between sexes. ANOVA reveled a significant difference among the three species (P < 0.01), M. nelsoni exhibit the largest skull. Canonical variate analyses and Goodall’s test found differences in both skulls and mandibles shape among species, being M. cryophilus and M. thomasi the most divergent. The comparison between phylogroups within M. thomasi also revealed significant differences in shape for both structures. Disparity assessment showed that M.

ABSTRACT: Very little is known concerning small mammal ecology and their distribution in the highlands of Guatemala. Small mammals were trapped from five different cloud forests in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Cloud forest elevations ranged from 2600 m to 3350 m. Most sites had evidence of human disturbance with only Cerro Bobí having a relatively pristine forest.

    Mammals at Navajo National Monument

    Final Report for 2003 and 2004 Mammal Inventories on Selected National Park Service Southern Colorado Plateau Network Parks: Navajo National Monument January 2005 Prepared by: Shauna Haymond, Holistic Wildlife Services NM, LLC, 112 Hampton Roads Avenue, Hampton, Virginia 23661, and Richard E. Sherwin, Department of Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science, Christopher Newport University, 1 University Place, Newport News, Virginia 23606-2998 Submitted to: Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, P. O. Box 1480, Window Rock, AZ 96515 ABSTRACT Holistic Wildlife Services NM was contracted by the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct biological inventories for mammals at Navajo National Monument (NAVA) as part of the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program. The goals of this study were to document at least 90% of the mammals using verifiable documentation and taxa-specific field surveys, provide distributional information, estimates of species richness, and relative abundance of mammals, and provide baseline information and make recommendations to develop future management and monitoring schemes of zoological resources. There had been no baseline mammal work conducted at NAVA prior to these surveys. A total of 26 mammal species were estimated to inhabit the park based on species-area models; however we estimated 51 species for NAVA based on known specific ranges and available museum records. Field inventories extended from 29 June to 29 September 2003, and 16 May to 5 July 2004. We used a variety of survey methods including live-trapping, mist netting and acoustic surveys for bats, track-scat surveys, and opportunistic observations. We documented a total of 41 species (Chiroptera, 12 species; Lagomorpha, 2 species; Rodentia, 18 species; Carnivora, 8 species; and Artiodactyla, 1 species).
