  • Nordmann's Greenshank Population Analysis, at Pantai Cemara Jambi
    Final Report Nordmann’s Greenshank Population Analysis, at Pantai Cemara Jambi Cipto Dwi Handono1, Ragil Siti Rihadini1, Iwan Febrianto1 and Ahmad Zulfikar Abdullah1 1Yayasan Ekologi Satwa Alam Liar Indonesia (Yayasan EKSAI/EKSAI Foundation) Surabaya, Indonesia Background Many shorebirds species have declined along East Asian-Australasian Flyway which support the highest diversity of shorebirds in the world, including the globally endangered species, Nordmann’s Greenshank. Nordmann’s Greenshank listed as endangered in the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species because of its small and declining population (BirdLife International, 2016). It’s one of the world’s most threatened shorebirds, is confined to the East Asian–Australasian Flyway (Bamford et al. 2008, BirdLife International 2001, 2012). Its global population is estimated at 500–1,000, with an estimated 100 in Malaysia, 100–200 in Thailand, 100 in Myanmar, plus unknown but low numbers in NE India, Bangladesh and Sumatra (Wetlands International 2006). The population is suspected to be rapidly decreasing due to coastal wetland development throughout Asia for industry, infrastructure and aquaculture, and the degradation of its breeding habitat in Russia by grazing Reindeer Rangifer tarandus (BirdLife International 2012). Mostly Nordmann’s Greenshanks have been recorded in very small numbers throughout Southeast Asia, and there are few places where it has been reported regularly. In Myanmar, for example, it was rediscovered after a gap of almost 129 years. The total count recorded by the Asian Waterbird Census (AWC) in 2006 for Myanmar was 28 birds with 14 being the largest number at a single locality (Naing 2007). In 2011–2012, Nordmann’s Greenshank was found three times in Sumatera Utara province, N Sumatra.

LEEMAN, Department of Wildlife, Humboldt State University, Arcata, California 95521 (current address: EDAW, Inc., 2022 J. St., Sacramento, California 95814) THOMAS S. LEEMAN, Department of Wildlife, Humboldt State University, Arcata, California 95521 (current address: Environmental Science Associates, 8950 Cal Center Drive, Suite 300, Sacramento, California 95826) ABSTRACT. Key ecological insights come from understanding a species’ distribu- tion, especially across several spatial scales. We studied the distribution (uniform, random, or aggregated) at low tide of nonbreeding Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus) at three spatial scales: within individual territories (1–8 ha), in the Elk River estuary (~50 ha), and across tidal habitats of Humboldt Bay (62 km2), Cali- fornia. During six baywide surveys, 200–300 Long-billed Curlews were aggregated consistently in certain areas and were absent from others, suggesting that foraging habitats varied in quality. In the Elk River estuary, distributions were often (73%) uniform as curlews foraged at low tide, although patterns tended toward random (27%) when more curlews were present during late summer and autumn. Patterns of predominantly uniform distribution across the estuary were a consequence of ter- ritoriality. Within territories, eight Long-billed Curlews most often (75%) foraged in a manner that produced a uniform distribution; patterns tended toward random (16%) and aggregated (8%) when individuals moved over larger areas.

  • Priority Contribution Quantifying the Illegal Parrot Trade in Santa Cruz De La Sierra, Bolivia, with Emphasis on Threatened Spec
    Bird Conservation International (2007) 17:295–300. ß BirdLife International 2007 doi: 10.1017/S0959270907000858 Printed in the United Kingdom Priority contribution Quantifying the illegal parrot trade in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, with emphasis on threatened species MAURICIO HERRERA HURTADO and BENNETT HENNESSEY Summary We monitored the illegal pet trade in Los Pozos pet market from August 2004 to July 2005. As indicated in Bolivian law, all unauthorized trade in wild animal species is illegal, especially species considered threatened by IUCN. During this period, we recorded 7,279 individuals of 31 parrot species, including four threatened species, two of which were being transported from Brazil through Bolivia to markets in Peru. The most frequently sold species was the Blue-fronted Parrot Amazona aestiva with 1,468 individuals observed during our study, the majority of which (94%) were believed to have been captured in the wild. Most of the purchased birds remain within Bolivia, while the more expensive, threatened species frequently head to Peru; some individuals may even reach Europe. We believe our study describes only a small proportion of the Bolivian parrot trade, underscoring the potential extent of the illegal pet trade and the need for better Bolivian law enforcement. Resumen Monitoreamos el comercio ilegal de aves en el mercado de mascotas de Los Pozos, desde agosto de 2004 a julio de 2005. De acuerdo a lo que establece la ley boliviana, todo comercio no autorizado de animales salvajes es ilegal, especialmente de especies consideradas Amenazadas por la IUCN. Durante este periodo, grabamos 7.279 individuos de 31 especies de loros, incluyendo 4 especies amenazadas, de las cuales dos fueron transportadas desde Brasil a trave´s de Bolivia hacia mercados en Peru´ .

Yanagisawa*, R. E. Wilson*, P. H. Kass† and F. J. M. Verstraete* *Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences and † Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California, USA Summary Skull specimens from 836 kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis) were examined macroscopically according to predefined criteria; 559 specimens were included in this study. The study group consisted of 248 (44.4%) females, 267 (47.8%) males and 44 (7.9%) specimens of unknown sex; 128 (22.9%) skulls were from young adults and 431 (77.1%) were from adults. Of the 23,478 possible teeth, 21,883 teeth (93.2%) were present for examina- tion, 45 (1.9%) were absent congenitally, 405 (1.7%) were acquired losses and 1,145 (4.9%) were missing ar- tefactually. No persistent deciduous teeth were observed. Eight (0.04%) supernumerary teeth were found in seven (1.3%) specimens and 13 (0.06%) teeth from 12 (2.1%) specimens were malformed. Root number vari- ation was present in 20.3% (403/1,984) of the present maxillary and mandibular first premolar teeth. Eleven (2.0%) foxes had lesions consistent with enamel hypoplasia and 77 (13.8%) had fenestrations in the maxillary alveolar bone. Periodontitis and attrition/abrasion affected the majority of foxes (71.6% and 90.5%, respec- tively).

  • First Sighting of the Giant Genet Genetta Victoriae in Rwanda
    First sighting of the Giant Genet Genetta victoriae in Rwanda Vladimir DINETS Abstract A large genet photographed in 2005 in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda, was identified as a Giant GenetGenetta victoriae, previously known with certainty only from the Democratic Republic of Congo and the adjacent part of Uganda and never before photographed in the wild. Keywords: montane rainforest, Nyungwe National Park, spotlighting, Viverridae Première observation de la Genette Géante Genetta victoriae au Rwanda Résumé Une genette de grande taille photographiée en 2005 dans le Parc National de Nyungwe au Rwanda, est identifiée comme représentant la Genette Géante Genetta victoriae ; cette espèce n’était connue que de la République Démocratique du Congo et de la partie limitrophe de l’Ouganda, et n’avait jamais été photographiée dans la nature. Mots clés: forêt ombrophile de montagne, Parc National de Nyungwe, spotlighting, Viverridae Giant Genet Genetta victoriae Thomas, 1901 is an enigmatic car- nivoran species, currently known with certainty only from northern and eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where it inhabits lowland and montane rainforests up to 2,000 m (Van Rompaey et al. 2008). It has been predicted to occur in Rwan- da and Uganda, but there are no confirmed observations or mu- seum specimens from outside DRC (Gaubert et al. 2006), except in Semiliki Forest in Uganda on the border with DRC (Bere 1962). A captive specimen has been photographed by Rahm (1966), but there are no photos obtained in the wild, and no published infor- mation on wild animals, except for observations by Kingdon (1977) in Uganda, which appear questionable (Schreiber et al.

    ASPECTS OF THE BIOWGY OF TWO SCYLIORHINID SHARKS, APRISTURUS BRUNNEUS AND PARMATURUS XANIURUS, FROM THE UPPER CONTINENTAL SWPE OFF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA JEFFREY N. CROSSI ABSTRACf The distribution. abundance, reproductive cycle. and food habits of two scyliorhinid sharks are discussed. Catsharks occurred on 87% of 71 longline sets and in 6% of 48 trawls. Longline catches were stratified by habitat into banks (hard substrate) and mud (soft substrate). ApriBtu'l"lUl brllnnell.8 occurred more frequently on mud sets than on bank sets. but its abundance was similar in both habitats. Pa'MIlaturus :l'a·t/.iu~ oC<.'l1rred equally frequently on mud and bank sets, but it was more abundant on bank sets. Catches of both species consisted of adults and adolescents; juveniles were rare or absent. Historical collections suggest that juveniles are mesopelagic. Male P. zaniurull matured ata smaller size than male A. brrt1meus. Females of both species matured at about the same size and fecundity increased with female size. The proportion of body weight devoted to gonads and maximum oocyte size were greater among P. 2:a1liurus, but fecundity and the proportion of females carrying egg cases were greater among A. brun'IU.l1ts. Seasonal changes in gonadal develop­ ment were not well defined for either species. Members of both populations may have been reproduc­ tively active throughout the year. The diets of both species comprised. in order of importance, crustaceans, teleosts, and squids. Most prey consumed were pelagic; however, it is not known where in the water column the catsharks obtained their prey. The Scyliorhinidae is the largest family of living ParmatWr1"S Xa11Jiu1'US Gilbert, the filetail cat­ sharks with about 94 valid species (Nelson 1984).

  • Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List
    Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List The target species list (species to be surveyed) should not change over the course of the study, therefore determining the target species list is an important project design task. Because waterbirds, including shorebirds, can occur in very high numbers in a census area, it is often not possible to count all species without compromising the quality of the survey data. For the basic shorebird census program (protocol 1), we recommend counting all shorebirds (sub-Order Charadrii), all raptors (hawks, falcons, owls, etc.), Common Ravens, and American Crows. This list of species is available on our field data forms, which can be downloaded from this site, and as a drop-down list on our online data entry form. If a very rare species occurs on a shorebird area survey, the species will need to be submitted with good documentation as a narrative note with the survey data. Project goals that could preclude counting all species include surveys designed to search for color-marked birds or post- breeding season counts of age-classed bird to obtain age ratios for a species. When conducting a census, you should identify as many of the shorebirds as possible to species; sometimes, however, this is not possible. For example, dowitchers often cannot be separated under censuses conditions, and at a distance or under poor lighting, it may not be possible to distinguish some species such as small Calidris sandpipers. We have provided codes for species combinations that commonly are reported on censuses. Combined codes are still species-specific and you should use the code that provides as much information as possible about the potential species combination you designate.

ABSTRACT Mountains offer replicated units with large biotic and abiotic gradients in a reduced spatial scale. This transforms them into well-suited scenarios to evaluate biogeographic theories. Mountain biogeography is a hot topic of research and many theories have been proposed to describe the changes in biodiversity with elevation. Geometric constraints, which predict the highest diversity to occur in mid-elevations, have been a focal part of this discussion. Despite this, there is no general theory to explain these patterns, probably because of the interaction among different predictors with the local effects of historical factors. We characterize the diversity of small non-volant mammals across the elevational gradient on Mount (Mt.) Kinabalu (4,095 m) and Mt. Tambuyukon (2,579 m), two neighboring mountains in Borneo, Malaysia. We documented a decrease in species richness with elevation which deviates from expectations of the geometric constraints and suggests that spatial Submitted 14 February 2018 Accepted 9 September 2019 factors (e.g., larger diversity in larger areas) are important.

Introduction Texas youth that participate in wildlife programs may be asked to identify a skull, skin, scat, tracks, etc. of an animal. Usually, educators must find this information and assemble pictures of skulls and skins from various sources. They also must ensure that what they find is relevant and accurate. Buying skulls and skins to represent all Texas mammals is costly. Most educators cannot afford them, and if they can, maintaining these collections over time is problematic. This study resource will reduce the time teachers across the state need to spend searching for information and allow them more time for presenting the material to their students. This identification guide gives teachers and students easy access to information that is accurate and valuable for learning to identify Texas mammals.
