The present study describes the design and structure of the masseter muscle of the blind mole rat (Spalax leucodon). The blind mole rat, which emer- ged 5.3–3.4 million years ago during the Late Pliocene period, is a subterranean, hypoxia-tolerant and cancer-resistant rodent. Yet, despite these impressive cha- racteristics, no information exists on their masticatory musculature. Materials and methods: Fifteen adult blind mole rats were used in this study. Dissections were performed to investigate the anatomical characteristics of the masseter muscle. Results: The muscle was comprised of three different parts: the superficial mas- seter, the deep masseter and the zygomaticomandibularis muscle. The superficial masseter originated from the facial fossa at the ventral side of the infraorbital foramen. The deep masseter was separated into anterior and posterior parts. The anterior part of the zygomaticomandibularis muscle arose from the snout and passed through the infraorbital foramen to connect on the mandible.

Physical characteristics BCI area is situated in the Priority Central Annamite Landscape ( Landscape CA1)( or Central Truong Son Landscape), it is a geomorphological entity within the Greater Truong Son Global 200 Ecoregion of the FLMEC of Greater Annamite Ecoregion in Global 200 of WWF . were provisionally delineated at the Ecoregion-based Conservation in the Forests of the Mekong Biological Assessment Workshop, held inPhnom Penh in March 2000. And Landcape CA1 will be introduced as follows: Priority Landscape CA1 is. The priority landscape encompasses the central section of the main Annamite chain, together with associated foothills to the west and east (Map 1). The boundaries of Priority Landscape CA1 were delineated according to geomorphological criteria in preference to biogeographical criteria for a number of reasons. Firstly, while the ranges of a number of taxa broadly define the priority landscape, there is insufficient congruence in their known distributions for the boundaries to be precisely delineated. Secondly, there is insufficient information available about the known distribution and habitat requirements of taxa that might be used to delineate the priority landscape. Thirdly, the concept of a geomorphologically delineated landscape is more meaningful to decision makers and donors. Finally, a geomorphologically delineated landscape is not constrained by anthropogenic changes in habitat condition and extent, and, therefore, presents a vision for the future and an objective for habitat restoration efforts. The area referred to as the Greater Truong Son in this document was considered by Vidal (1960) to comprise parts of two distinct geomorphological units: the Annamite chain, stretching from Xieng Khoang province in Lao P.D.R.

These species have been traditionally described as living in fission-fusion societies, because they range in subgroups of frequently changing size and composition, in contrast with the more typical cohesive societies. In recent years the concept of fission-fusion dynamics has replaced the dichotomous fluid versus cohesive categorization, as it is now recognized that there is considerable variation in cohesiveness both within and between species.

  • Arabian Tahr in Oman Paul Munton
    Arabian Tahr in Oman Paul Munton Arabian tahr are confined to Oman, with a population of under 2000. Unlike other tahr species, which depend on grass, Arabian tahr require also fruits, seeds and young shoots. The areas where these can be found in this arid country are on certain north-facing mountain slopes with a higher rainfall, and it is there that reserves to protect this tahr must be made. The author spent two years in Oman studying the tahr. The Arabian tahr Hemitragus jayakari today survives only in the mountains of northern Oman. A goat-like animal, it is one of only three surviving species of a once widespread genus; the other two are the Himalayan and Nilgiri tahrs, H. jemlahicus and H. hylocrius. In recent years the government of the Sultanate of Oman has shown great interest in the country's wildlife, and much conservation work has been done. From April 1976 to April 1978 I was engaged jointly by the Government, WWF and IUCN on a field study of the tahr's ecology, and in January 1979 made recommendations for its conservation, which were presented to the Government. Arabian tahr differ from the other tahrs in that they feed selectively on fruits, seeds and young shoots as well as grass. Their optimum habitat is found on the north-facing slopes of the higher mountain ranges of northern Oman, where they use all altitudes between sea level and 2000 metres. But they prefer the zone between 1000 and 1800m where the vegetation is especially diverse, due to the special climate of these north-facing slopes, with their higher rainfall, cooler temperatures, and greater shelter from the sun than in the drought conditions that are otherwise typical of this arid zone.
