Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Fish and Wildlife Policy Division Controlled Animals Wildlife Regulation, Schedule 5, Part 1-4: Controlled Animals Subject to the Wildlife Act, a person must not be in possession of a wildlife or controlled animal unless authorized by a permit to do so, the animal was lawfully acquired, was lawfully exported from a jurisdiction outside of Alberta and was lawfully imported into Alberta. NOTES: 1 Animals listed in this Schedule, as a general rule, are described in the left hand column by reference to common or descriptive names and in the right hand column by reference to scientific names. But, in the event of any conflict as to the kind of animals that are listed, a scientific name in the right hand column prevails over the corresponding common or descriptive name in the left hand column. 2 Also included in this Schedule is any animal that is the hybrid offspring resulting from the crossing, whether before or after the commencement of this Schedule, of 2 animals at least one of which is or was an animal of a kind that is a controlled animal by virtue of this Schedule. 3 This Schedule excludes all wildlife animals, and therefore if a wildlife animal would, but for this Note, be included in this Schedule, it is hereby excluded from being a controlled animal.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the use of feces in scent marking by small wildcats. We analyzed the characteristics of 357 Geoffroy’s cat, Leopardus geoffroyi, defecation sites in five protected areas of Argentina. Defecation sites were mainly found in trees (47.6%) or on the ground (38.1%), and the frequency of occurrence of the types of sites differed between areas. -

RUNNING HEAD: LYNX M2 AND IRREVERSIBILE EVOLUTION Abstract There is a longstanding interest in whether the loss of complex characters is reversible (so-called “Dollo’s law”). Reevolution has been suggested for numerous traits but among the first was Kurtén (1963), who proposed that the presence of the second lower molar (M2) of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) was a violation of Dollo’s law because all other Felids lack M2. While an early and often cited example for the reevolution of a complex trait, Kurtén (1963) and Werdelin (1987) used an ad hoc parsimony argument to support their proposition that M2 reevolved in Eurasian lynx. Here I revisit the evidence that M2 reevolved in Eurasian lynx using explicit parsimony and maximum likelihood models of character evolution and find strong evidence that Kurtén (1963) and Werdelin (1987) were correct – M2 reevolved in Eurasian lynx. -

Nameri National Park
INDIA Date - February 2017 Duration - 25 Days Destinations Kolkata - Guwahati - Nameri National Park - Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary - Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary - Kaziranga National Park - Jorhat - Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary - Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary Trip Overview This was meant to be the first of a number of spectacular tours in 2017 and the fact that it did not proceed as planned, highlights not only some of the difficulties involved with remote wildlife travel, but, more specifically, what can go wrong when you visit certain areas of India. I had been working on this trip for some time, as Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, the two states that I would visit on this tour, plus the bordering states of Nagaland and Manipur, which I intended to explore the following year, are all home to an astounding variety of rare mammals and the entire region is one of the most diverse in all of South Asia. Of the eight cat species that occur in this part of northeast India, I was hoping to encounter clouded leopard, Asiatic golden cat and marbled cat on this one tour and other very real possibilities included sun bear, Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, dhole, binturong, spotted linsang, large Indian civet, masked palm civet, small-toothed palm civet, yellow-throated marten, Asian small-clawed otter, hog badger, large-toothed ferret badger, small- toothed ferret badger, Bengal slow loris, Malayan porcupine and Chinese pangolin. A red panda sighting was also a realistic prospect and although we would not reach there on this occasion, further north in Arunachal Pradesh, Eurasian lynx and snow leopards increase the cat tally in this extraordinary region to an equally remarkable ten. -
Connecting Biological and Socio-Cultural Dimensions Of
Cat Project of the Month – June 2009 The IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group's website (www.catsg.org) presents each month a different cat conservation project. Members of the Cat Specialist Group are encouraged to submit a short description of interesting projects Connecting biological and socio-cultural dimensions of conservation: a strategy to engender positive attitudes towards the kodkod cat, within rural communities in Southern Chile We are working to inform rural communities in Southern Chile about the kodkod - helping those best placed to influence the species’ future conservation to appreciate its unique value within the context of its temperate rainforest habitat. Our approach combines ecological research with intergenerational environmental education in the Andean foothills.

Vidal). Background The kodkod, known locally as the guiña, is one of the world’s smallest cats, considered by the IUCN to be “Vulnerable with a declining population trend”. Habitat loss and retribution killing are considered the main conservation threats. The kodkod cat has a strong preference for native temperate rainforest, with dense understory and watercourses (Acosta & Simonetti, 2004). Various land management practices, related to agriculture and forestry, have affected its forest habitat. -

Distinguishing historical hybridization events from other processes leading to phylogenetic discordance among different markers requires a well-resolved species tree that considers all modes of inheritance, and overcomes systematic problems due to rapid lineage diversification by sampling large genomic character sets. Here we assessed genome-wide phylogenetic variation across a diverse mammalian family, Felidae (cats). We combined genotypes from a genome-wide SNP array with additional autosomal, X- and Y-linked variants to sample ~150 kilobases of nuclear sequence, in addition to complete mitochondrial genomes generated using light-coverage Illumina sequencing. -
