  • Notes on the Distribution, Status, and Research Priorities of Little-Known Small Carnivores in Brazil
    Notes on the distribution, status, and research priorities of little-known small carnivores in Brazil Tadeu G. de OLIVEIRA Abstract Ten species of small carnivores occur in Brazil, including four procyonids, four mustelids (excluding otters), and two mephitids. On the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species eight are assessed as Least Concern and two as Data Deficient. The state of knowledge of small carnivores is low compared to other carnivores: they are among the least known of all mammals in Brazil. The current delineation of Bassaricyon and Galictis congeners appears suspect and not based on credible information. Research needs include understanding dis- tributions, ecology and significant evolutionary units, with emphasis on theAmazon Weasel Mustela africana. Keywords: Amazon weasel, Data Deficient, Olingo, Crab-eating Raccoon, Hog-nosed Skunk Notas sobre la distribución, estado y prioridades de investigación de los pequeños carnívoros de Brasil Resumen En Brasil ocurren diez especies de pequeños carnívoros, incluyendo cuatro prociónidos, cuatro mustélidos (excluyendo nutrias) y dos mephitidos. De acuerdo a la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la UICN, ocho especies son evaluadas como de Baja Preocupación (LC) y dos son consideradas Deficientes de Datos (DD). El estado de conocimiento de los pequeños carnívoros es bajo comparado con otros carnívoros y se encuentran entre los mamíferos menos conocidos de Brasil. La delineación congenérica actual de Bassaricyon y Galictis parece sospechosa y no basada en información confiable. Las necesidades de investigación incluyen el entendimiento de las distribuciones, ecología y unidades evolutivas significativas, con énfasis en la ComadrejaAmazónica Mustela africana.

  • And Galictis Cuja (Carnivora, Mustelidae): New Hosts in Chile

Trichinellosis is a zoonotic disease with a worldwide distribution. It is caused by several species of nematodes in the genus Trichinella. Trichinella spp. are transmitted through predation or carrion consumption and occur in domestic and sylvatic cycles. In humans trichinellosis occurs due to the consumption of raw or undercooked, infected meat and is mainly associated with the household slaughter of pigs or the consumption of game animals without veterinary inspection, a cultural practice that is difficult to resolve. Therefore, knowledge of this parasite's reservoir is relevant for better implementing public health strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of Trichinella sp. in several carnivore and omnivore vertebrates in central-southern Chile. Methods. We collected muscle tissue from a total of 53 animals from 15 species and were digested to detect Trichinella larvae which were further identified to species level using molecular techniques. Results. We detected Trichinella larvae in Leopardus guigna (Felidae) and Galictis cuja Submitted 22 January 2021 (Mustelidae). We identified the larvae collected from L. guigna as Trichinella spiralis, Accepted 21 May 2021 but we were unable to molecularly characterize the larvae from G.

This species differs from other 11 species of Crenosoma by having a cuticular projection at the distal end of the spicules, forming a prominent blade at the tip of the spicule, a vulval cuticular appendage with a triangular shape and prominent vulval lips. There are no previous records of species of Metastrongyloidea in G. cuja or species of Crenosoma in South America. Therefore, the new species represents the first host record and first geographical record of species of Crenosoma in South America.

Despite the ecological and conservation implications relating to carnivores in cities, our general understanding of their potential role in urban food webs lacks synthesis. In this paper, we reviewed the scientific literature on urban carnivores with the aim of identifying major biases in this topic of research. In particular, we explored the number of articles dealing with predation and scavenging, and assessed the geographical distribution, biomes and habitats represented in the scientific literature, together with the richness of species reported and their traits. Our results confirmed that scavenging is largely overlooked compared to predation in urban carnivore research. Moreover, research was biased towards cities located in temperate biomes, while tropical regions were less well-represented, a pattern that was more evident in the case of articles on scavenging. The species reported in both predation and scavenging articles were mainly wild and domestic mammals with high meat- based diets and nocturnal habits, and the majority of the studies were conducted in the interior zone of cities compared to peri-urban areas.
