  • Helminths of Squirrels (Sciuridae)
    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 303 5 October 2011 HELMINT H S OF SQUIRRELS (SCIURIDAE ) FROM MONGOLIA DAVI D S. TINNIN , SUMIYA GANZORI G , AN D SCO tt L. GAR D NER ABSTRACT Two species of ground squirrels, Urocitellus undulatus and Spermophilus alashanicus, were collected and examined for parasites from two localities in Mongolia in 1999. A total of 24 individuals of U. undulatus were examined resulting in a total of six taxa of helminths found, including: Ascaris tarbagan, Physaloptera massino, Streptopharagus kutassi, Anoplocephaloides transversaria, Hymenolepis suslica, and Moniliformis sp. This represents four new species records and an additional host record for the country. Two individuals of S. alashanicus were examined and found to be uninfected. Key words.—acanthocephala, cestode, helminth, Mongolia, nematode, Spermophilus, squirrel, Urocitellus INTRODUCTION The geographic distribution of the long-tailed which some authors consider to be synonymous with ground squirrel, Urocitellus undulatus (Pallas 1778) C. marmotae; Mesocestoides sp.; and Moniliformis extends through a wide band of central Asia including moniliformis (Bremser 1811) (see Danzan 1978; Gan- suitable habitats in Kazakhstan across southern and zorig et al. 1988; Ganzorig et al. 1998; Ganzorig et eastern Siberia through Mongolia and into northern al. 2007). Tokobaev (1976) reports the finding of two China (Tinnin et al. 2002). Although patchy in occur- helminths, Trichuris citellorum (Kirshenblat 1939) and rence through this region, these squirrels are found in Ctenotaenia citelli, from Kazakhstan. great abundance in some areas with numerical densi- ties sometimes exceeding 18 individuals/hectare (ha) In contrast, there have been nine publications (Tinnin 2002) with some observers reporting very high that examined the parasite fauna of the long-tailed densities of “…hundreds all over the plains” (Allen ground squirrel in eastern Siberia, reporting 35 spe- 1940).

  • Differential Responses of Prairie Rodents to Edge Effects from Recreational Trails

Nature Conservation 41: 113–140. https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.41.52100 Abstract Edge effects are a common phenomenon in which an ecological variable changes with respect to distance from a habitat edge. Recreational trails may constitute a habitat edge for prairie rodents because of high human presence, high predator presence, or limited shelter compared to the prairie core. Despite the prevalence of trails in conservation parcels, their effect on wildlife distribution remains largely unstudied. We examined the impacts of recreational trails on small mammal activity in the restored prairies of the Cowling Arboretum at Carleton College. The prairies were restored from 1995 to 2008 and now com- prise a contiguous prairie block of approximately 155 ha. Over 2 consecutive summers, we used infrared motion-sensing cameras to record the relative amount of time rodents spend at baited stations placed at different distances from the trail.

  • Sciurid Phylogeny and the Paraphyly of Holarctic Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus)
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 31 (2004) 1015–1030 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Sciurid phylogeny and the paraphyly of Holarctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus) Matthew D. Herron, Todd A. Castoe, and Christopher L. Parkinson* Department of Biology, University of Central Florida, 4000 Central Florida Blvd., Orlando, FL 32816-2368, USA Received 26 May 2003; revised 11 September 2003 Abstract The squirrel family, Sciuridae, is one of the largest and most widely dispersed families of mammals. In spite of the wide dis- tribution and conspicuousness of this group, phylogenetic relationships remain poorly understood. We used DNA sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of 114 species in 21 genera to infer phylogenetic relationships among sciurids based on maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic methods. Although we evaluated more complex alternative models of nucleotide substitution to reconstruct Bayesian phylogenies, none provided a better fit to the data than the GTR + G + I model. We used the reconstructed phylogenies to evaluate the current taxonomy of the Sciuridae. At essentially all levels of relationships, we found the phylogeny of squirrels to be in substantial conflict with the current taxonomy. At the highest level, the flying squirrels do not represent a basal divergence, and the current division of Sciuridae into two subfamilies is therefore not phylogenetically informative. At the tribal level, the Neotropical pygmy squirrel, Sciurillus, represents a basal divergence and is not closely related to the other members of the tribe Sciurini. At the genus level, the sciurine genus Sciurus is paraphyletic with respect to the dwarf squirrels (Microsciurus), and the Holarctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus) are paraphyletic with respect to antelope squirrels (Ammosper- mophilus), prairie dogs (Cynomys), and marmots (Marmota).

  • Oxygen Isotope Analysis of Mineralized Fault Planes, Five Springs Region, Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming
    Oxygen isotope analysis of mineralized fault planes, Five Springs region, Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming Valerie Esser Department of Geology, The Colorado College, 14 E Cache La Poudre St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Faculty Sponsor: Christine Siddoway, The Colorado College INTRODUCTION Laramide uplifts juxtapose old basement rock against sedimentary cover rocks across thrust faults with a significant vertical component. They are common throughout the Rocky Mountain foreland, and the structural evolution of many of the basement block uplifts has been extensively studied (Snoke, 1997; Narr, 1993; Spang and Evans, 1988). However, the detailed timing and uplift history, thermal evolution, and the role of fluids during faulting of these ranges remain to be determined. The Bighorn Mountains of northern central Wyoming form a Laramide basement-cored uplift, and offer an ideal location to investigate the details of fluid circulation along faults. The Five Springs fault zone (Figure 1), a structurally well-studied section along the northwest flank of the Bighorn Mountains (Wise and Obi, 1992), has mineralization along minor fault planes that indicates the presence of fluids related to faulting. In this study, using laser- based micro-analytical techniques, _18O values of quartz, feldspar, and epidote grains were measured to investigate the fluids involved in the faulting. The temperatures calculated from _18O fractionations are hotter than expected temperatures for Laramide faulting, prompting one to consider the possibility that mineralization along these fault planes pre-dated the Laramide, or that hot, mid-crustal fluids played a role in Laramide deformation. GEOLOGIC SETTING AND BACKGROUND In their structural review of the Five Springs area, Wise and Obi (1992) examined a section of pervasively faulted granite where continuous exposures of the fault system bounding the Bighorn uplift are exposed in new road-cuts along Wyoming Highway Alternate 14 (figure 1).

Received: 8 May 2020; Accepted: 31 May 2020; Published: 2 June 2020 Abstract: As part of research and wildlife disease surveillance efforts, we performed necropsy examinations of 125 free-ranging (n = 114) and captive (n = 11) prairie dogs in Colorado from 2009 to 2017. From these cases, we identified three cases of thymic lymphoma in free-ranging Gunnison’s prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni), and we identified a novel retroviral sequence associated with these tumors. The viral sequence is 7700 nucleotides in length and exhibits a genetic organization that is consistent with the characteristics of a type D betaretrovirus.
