Nonetheless, this wild ungulate remains overlooked as a protein source and no information exists on their production potential and meat quality in South Africa. The aim of this study was thus to determine the carcass characteristics, meat- and offal-yields, and the physical- and chemical-meat quality attributes of wild fallow deer harvested in South Africa. Gender was considered as a main effect when determining carcass characteristics and yields, while both gender and muscle were considered as main effects in the determination of physical and chemical meat quality attributes. Live weights, warm carcass weights and cold carcass weights were higher (p < 0.05) in male fallow deer (47.4 kg, 29.6 kg, 29.2 kg, respectively) compared with females (41.9 kg, 25.2 kg, 24.7 kg, respectively), as well as in pregnant females (47.5 kg, 28.7 kg, 28.2 kg, respectively) compared with non- pregnant females (32.5 kg, 19.7 kg, 19.3 kg, respectively).

The most commonly measured stress hormones, glucocorticoids (GCs), then generally become elevated, energy is diverted away from non- essential processes, and behavior is modified to facilitate short-term survival. Because GCs can be collected noninvasively, they are candidates for evaluating health in wild animals. However, few studies have tested critical assumptions about GCs and

Brandstaetter (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7493-8526) A Contribution to the Taxonomy of the Andean Bear, Tremarctos ornatus (Carnivora, Ursidae). Brandstaetter, F. — The Andean bear’s taxonomy is discussed with some nomenclatorial corrections and discussions of some common names for the species. The most widely used common name has been changed from spectacled bear to Andean bear in favour of the animal’s importance in conservation issues for the Andean region. Key words: Andean bear, taxonomy, nomenclature, Tremarctos ornatus, conservation. The Andean bear, Tremarctos ornatus (Cuvier, 1825), is an enigmatic species of the Andes. It has even been declared an umbrella species for the conservation of the whole Andean ecosystem (Troya et al., 2004; Ruiz-Garcia et al., 2005). Being the only true bear species in South America the Andean bear is unique in its perception and as a representative of the South American fauna. As Morrison III et al. (2009) and Kitchener (2010) have pointed out, taxonomy is fundamental to conservation. Scientific names are the device to clearly determine a species (Ng, 1994). All communication about animals, biodiversity and conservation is based on the stability and exactness of scientific names and the whole community is responsible for a proper use (Welter-Schultes, 2013). With regard to this, the taxonomy of the Andean bear is analyzed in the following.

  • Cougar 1 Cougar
    Cougar 1 Cougar Cougar[1] Temporal range: Middle Pleistocene to recent Conservation status [2] Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Puma Species: Puma concolor Binomial name Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) Cougar 2 Cougar range The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, mountain cat, catamount or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the family Felidae, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Although large, the cougar is most closely related to smaller felines and is closer genetically to the domestic cat than to true lions. A capable stalk-and-ambush predator, the cougar pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources include ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep, as well as domestic cattle, horses and sheep, particularly in the northern part of its range. It will also hunt species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but it can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and persists at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with other predators such as the jaguar, grey wolf, American Black Bear, and the grizzly bear.

  • Gallina & Mandujano
    Mongabay.com Open Access Journal - Tropical Conservation Science Vol. 2 (2):116-127, 2009 Special issue: introduction Research on ecology, conservation and management of wild ungulates in Mexico Sonia Gallina1 and Salvador Mandujano1 1 Departamento de Biodiversidad y Ecología Animal, Instituto de Ecología A. C., km. 2.5 Carret. Ant. Coatepec No. 351, Congregación del Haya, Xalapa 91070, Ver. México. E‐mail: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Abstract This special issue of Tropical Conservation Science provides a synopsis of nine of the eleven presentations on ungulates presented at the Symposium on Ecology and Conservation of Ungulates in Mexico during the Mexican Congress of Ecology held in November 2008 in Merida, Yucatan. Of the eleven species of wild ungulates in Mexico (Baird´s tapir Tapirus bairdii, pronghorn antelope Antilocapra americana, American bison Bison bison, bighorn sheep Ovis canadensis, elk Cervus canadensis, red brocket deer Mazama temama, Yucatan brown brocket Mazama pandora, mule deer Odocoileus hemionus, white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus, white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari and collared peccary Pecari tajacu), studies which concern four of these species are presented: Baird’s tapir and the white lipped peccary, which are tropical species in danger of extinction; the bighorn sheep, of high value for hunting in the north-west; and the white-tailed deer, the most studied ungulate in Mexico due to its wide distribution in the country and high hunting and cultural value. In addition, two studies of exotic species, wild boar (Sus scrofa) and red deer (Cervus elaphus), are presented. Issues addressed in these studies are: population estimates, habitat use, evaluation of UMA (Spanish acronym for ‘Wildlife Conservation, Management and Sustainable Utilization Units’) and ANP (Spanish acronym for ‘Natural Protected Areas’) to sustain minimum viable populations, and the effect of alien species in protected areas and UMA, all of which allow an insight into ungulate conservation and management within the country.

  • Phylogeny, Evolution, and Diversity of Old World Telemetacarpal Deer
    Phylogeny, evolution, and diversity of Old World telemetacarpal deer (Capreolinae, Cervidae, Mammalia) Roman CROITOR (Chișinău/Aix‐en‐Provence) introduction • Modern telemetacarpal deer (subfamily Capreolinae) are represented by few very specialized Old World forms (1, Alces alces; 2, Rangifer tarandus; 3, Capreolus capreolus; 4, Hydropotes inermis) and a diversified radiationof New World telemetacarpal deer. The known paleontological record of Capreolinae in Eurasia is rather scarce and for some genera (Procapreolus) is traced from the Late Miocene, while other lineages appear only in the Early Pleistocene and already represented by very specialized forms (Alces). Some poor Pliocene remains of Capreolus and of a form similar to Alces are reported by Vislobokova et al. (1995) from the Late Pliocene of Baikal Area. Another interesting recent finding is Rangifer sp. from the Early Pleistocene of Western Siberia that maintains the primitive orientation of pedicles (Bondarev et al., 2017). Those sparse findings suggest that Capreolines continuously were present in the middle latitudes of Eurasia, but their fossil remains apparently are misunderstood. • The Miocene record of Capreolinae is insufficiently known and many of cervid forms and species are poorly understood. This is the case of Metadicrocerus variabilis, Cervavitus tarakliensis, and Pliocervus matheroni (traditionally are placed in the tribe Pliocervini of the subfamily Cervinae) that are believed to have the intermediate phylogenetic position between modern Cervinae (plesiometacarpal

We show that despite the great diversity of karyotypes in the studied species, the org/10.1371/journal.pone.0187559 number of conserved chromosomal segments detected by 29 cattle whole chromosome Editor: Roscoe Stanyon, University of Florence, painting probes was 35 for all Cervidae samples. The detailed analysis of the X chromo- ITALY somes revealed two different morphological types within Cervidae. The first one, present in Received: August 23, 2017 the Capreolinae is a sub/metacentric X with the structure more similar to the bovine X.
