OTARIIDAE AND PHOCIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION Pinnipeds are aquatic carnivores. They differ from other mammals in their streamlined shape, reduction of pinnae and adaptation of both fore and hind feet to form flippers. In the skull, the orbits are enlarged, the lacrimal bones are absent or indistinct and there are never more than three upper and two lower incisors. The cheek teeth are nearly homodont and some conditions of the ear that are very distinctive (Repenning 1972). Both superfamilies of pinnipeds, Phocoidea and Otarioidea, are represented in Australian waters by a number of species (Table 56.1). The various superfamilies and families may be distinguished by important and/or easily observed characters (Table 56.2). King (1983b) provided more detailed lists and references. These and other differences between the above two groups are not regarded as being of great significance, especially as an undoubted fur seal (Australian Fur-seal Arctocephalus pusillus) is as big as some of the sea lions and has some characters of the skull, teeth and behaviour which are rather more like sea lions (Repenning, Peterson & Hubbs 1971; Warneke & Shaughnessy 1985). The Phocoidea includes the single Family Phocidae – the ‘true seals’, distinguished from the Otariidae by the absence of a pinna and by the position of the hind flippers (Fig.

  • Investigating Evolutionary Processes Using Ancient and Historical DNA of Rodent Species
    Investigating evolutionary processes using ancient and historical DNA of rodent species Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of London Royal Holloway University of London Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX Selina Brace November 2010 1 Declaration I, Selina Brace, declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, it is always clearly stated. Selina Brace Ian Barnes 2 “Why should we look to the past? ……Because there is nowhere else to look.” James Burke 3 Abstract The Late Quaternary has been a period of significant change for terrestrial mammals, including episodes of extinction, population sub-division and colonisation. Studying this period provides a means to improve understanding of evolutionary mechanisms, and to determine processes that have led to current distributions. For large mammals, recent work has demonstrated the utility of ancient DNA in understanding demographic change and phylogenetic relationships, largely through well-preserved specimens from permafrost and deep cave deposits. In contrast, much less ancient DNA work has been conducted on small mammals. This project focuses on the development of ancient mitochondrial DNA datasets to explore the utility of rodent ancient DNA analysis. Two studies in Europe investigate population change over millennial timescales. Arctic collared lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus) specimens are chronologically sampled from a single cave locality, Trou Al’Wesse (Belgian Ardennes). Two end Pleistocene population extinction-recolonisation events are identified and correspond temporally with - localised disappearance of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). A second study examines postglacial histories of European water voles (Arvicola), revealing two temporally distinct colonisation events in the UK.

  • Proposal to De-List Antarctic Fur Seals As Specially Protected Species
    WP 39 Agenda Item: ATCM 14, ATCM 15, CEP 8 Presented by: SCAR Original: English Proposal to De-list Antarctic Fur Seals as Specially Protected Species 1 WP 39 Proposal to De-list Antarctic Fur Seals as Specially Protected Species Introduction 1. At III ATCM in 1964 the Parties addressed conservation issues for the first time and approved the Agreed Measures for the Conservation of Antarctic Flora and Fauna. In its Annex A were listed those species which were to be designated as Specially Protected Species. These comprised “All species of the genus Arctocephalus, Fur Seals” and “Ommatophoca rossii, Ross Seal”. 2. At that time it appeared to at least some of the Parties that there was a pressing need to draw attention to the need to protect these particular species, Fur Seals because they had been previously hunted almost to extinction and Ross Seals as they appeared to be exceptionally rare and very little was known about them. However, no criteria were ever formally agreed or published to indicate precisely why or how these species were selected. 3. There appears to have been no further discussions on Specially Protected Species per se, although the seals were considered again when the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals (CCAS) was drafted. When the Agreed Measures were used as the basis for drafting Annex II of the Protocol in 1991 there was no specific discussion about the species listed in Annex A and they were therefore automatically incorporated into the legislation. 4. It has been generally assumed by conservationists worldwide that classification as a Specially Protected Species is a status that is only afforded to the most vulnerable and endangered species.
