EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1965,Theodore Reed, Director, hired John F. Eisenberg as Resident Scientist, and began a major program in scientific research at the National Zoo. In its modest beginning the program’s research concentrated on the comparative ethology of mammals, and relied heavily on an extensive research collection, as well as the zoo’s exhibit collection. Under Eisenberg’s leadership the program quickly grew in taxonomic breadth to include birds and reptiles. Disciplinary scope also expanded through collaboration within and beyond the Smithsonian and through graduate students, first at the University of Maryland, and later at other academic institutions. Eisenberg and his growing staff initiated a series of long-term field studies that were instrumental in advancing biological exploration in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. These field studies also opened the doors to collaboration with scientists at the National Museum of Natural History, who undertook their own independent studies. At the beginning

    July 4, 2011 The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor A Project Design Note for Validation to Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards (2nd Edition). CCB Project Design Document – July 4, 2011 Executive Summary Colombia is home to over 10% of the world’s plant and animal species despite covering just 0.7% of the planet’s surface, and has more registered species of birds and amphibians than any other country in the world. Along Colombia’s northwest border with Panama lies the Darién region, one of the most diverse ecosystems of the American tropics, a recognized biodiversity hotspot, and home to two UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites. The spectacular rainforests of the Darien shelter populations of endangered species such as the jaguar, spider monkey, wild dog, and peregrine falcon, as well as numerous rare species that exist nowhere else on the planet. The Darién is also home to a diverse group of Afro-Colombian, indigenous, and mestizo communities who depend on these natural resources. On August 1, 2005, the Council of Afro-Colombian Communities of the Tolo River Basin (COCOMASUR) was awarded collective land title to over 13,465 hectares of rainforest in the Serranía del Darién in the municipality of Acandí, Chocó in recognition of their traditional lifestyles and longstanding presence in the region. If they are to preserve the forests and their traditional way of life, these communities must overcome considerable challenges. During 2001- 2010 alone, over 10% of the natural forest cover of the surrounding region was converted to pasture for cattle ranching or cleared to support unsustainable agricultural practices.

  • Parasite Communities of Tropical Forest Rodents: Influences of Microhabitat Structure and Specialization
    PARASITE COMMUNITIES OF TROPICAL FOREST RODENTS: INFLUENCES OF MICROHABITAT STRUCTURE AND SPECIALIZATION By Ashley M. Winker Parasitism is the most common life style and has important implications for the ecology and evolution of hosts. Most organisms host multiple species of parasites, and parasite communities are frequently influenced by the degree of host specialization. Parasite communities are also influenced by their habitat – both the host itself and the habitat that the host occupies. Tropical forest rodents are ideal for examining hypotheses relating parasite community composition to host habitat and host specialization. Proechimys semispinosus and Hoplomys gymnurus are morphologically-similar echimyid rodents; however, P. semispinosus is more generalized, occupying a wider range of habitats. I predicted that P. semispinosus hosts a broader range of parasite species that are less host-specific than does H. gymnurus and that parasite communities of P. semispinosus are related to microhabitat structure, host density, and season. During two dry and wet seasons, individuals of the two rodent species were trapped along streams in central Panama to compare their parasites, and P. semispinosus was sampled on six plots of varying microhabitat structure in contiguous lowland forest to compare parasite loads to microhabitat structure. Such structure was quantified by measuring thirteen microhabitat variables, and dimensions were reduced to a smaller subset using factor analysis to define overall structure. Ectoparasites were collected from each individual, and blood smears were obtained to screen for filarial worms and trypanosomes. In support of my prediction, the habitat generalist ( P. semispinosus ) hosted more individual fleas, mites, and microfilaria; contrary to my prediction, the habitat specialist (H.

CoChran, and daniEL ChávEz abStRact In 2008 a mammal survey was conducted in humid tropical forest on the western slope of the Andes near the town of Santa Rosa. Sherman traps, tomahawk traps, pitfall traps, and mist nets were used to collect mammal specimens at two sites (450 m elevation and 702 m eleva- tion). A total of 113 specimens of 32 species were collected from the survey area. Seventeen Chiropteran species (Saccopteryx bilineata, Anoura fistulata, Glossophaga soricina, Micro- nycteris megalotis, Phyllostomus discolor, Carollia perspicillata, Sturnira bogotensis, Sturnira luisi, Artibeus jamaicensis, Dermanura rava, Dermanura rosenbergii, Platyrrhinus vittatus, Vampyriscus nymphaea, Vampyressa thyone, Eumops auripendulus, Eptesicus innoxius, and Myotis albescens) and one rodent species (Sigmodontomys aphrastus) represent new records for southwestern Imbabura. New elevation records also were documented for Anoura fistulata and Sturnira bogotensis. Shannon diversity analyses of the Chiropteran fauna and overall mammal diversity indicated greater diversity at the 450 m site. Key words: Ecuador, mammal range records, Santa Rosa, southwestern Imbabura ReSumen En el 2008 se llevó a cabo una evaluación de mamíferos en un bosque húmedo tropical de las estribaciones occidentales de los Andes cerca del pueblo de Santa Rosa.

  • 2015 Nicaragua Mammal Report
    Nicaragua Mammal Extravaganza, Feb 4-17, 2015 Led by Fiona Reid and Jose Gabriel Martinez, with Mike Richardson and Paul Carter. Photos by Fiona except where noted. Feb 04, Laguna del Apoyo (LA) Our trip officially started on Feb 5, but we all landed a day early, with Paul arriving in the late morning. I asked Jose to see if he could get some help setting up nets and still find time to collect me and Mike from the airport at 9 p.m. We met up with Paul and two friends of Jose’s at a location near our hotel on the Laguna just after 10 p.m. They had caught 7 species of bats, including Common Vampire and Central American Yellow Bat. Of note Paul had also seen 3 Southern Spotted Skunks, a Vesper Rat, Common Opossum and a Central Southern Spotted Skunk (Paul Carter) American Woolly Opossum (last of which obligingly stayed around for me and Mike). We were off to a great start! Feb 05, Apoyo and Montibelli (MB) We spent the morning at Apoyo, where Mantled Howlers and Variegated Squirrel are easily seen. In the afternoon we went to Montibelli Private Reserve. We located roosting Lesser White-lined Bats on a tree trunk and some Jamaican Fruit-eating Bats hidden in leaves of a Dracaena plant (we caught both these species later too). After seeing a Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat, good variety of dry forest birds stained yellow with pollen and our first Central American Agouti, we set up a few nets and caught Greater and Pale Spear-nosed Bats along with various other common species (see list).

  • SEED PREDATION and SEED DISPERSAL by Jacob W. Dittel Small Rodents Have L
    THE ROLE OF RODENTS IN TROPICAL FOREST REGENERATION: SEED PREDATION AND SEED DISPERSAL By Jacob W. Dittel Small rodents have long been considered to be seed predators rather than effective seed dispersers. Particularly in the Neotropics, this predatory role has been thought to be especially true for large-seeded plant species that likely had mutualistic relationships with megafauna that went extinct after the last ice age. Small rodents are not thought to be dispersers because they presumably eat a large proportion of the seeds or cannot move the large seeds sufficiently far to be effective dispersers. In this study, I tracked the removal of seeds from three different heights of three species of large-seeded trees in central Panama, Attalea butyracea, Astrocaryum standleyanum, and Dipteryx oleifera, and followed the removed seeds to deposition sites in central Panama. Removals were most likely perpetrated by two small rodents, the strictly terrestrial Proechimys semispinosus (Central American spiny rat) and the arboreal Sciurus granatensis (red- tailed squirrel) because they were the most abundant small rodents in the study sites. At each deposition site, I measured 9 microhabitat variables to determine if these two rodents were preferentially depositing seeds at sites with certain characteristics or were randomly depositing seeds. During my study, rodents handled 98 seeds; 12 seeds were taken into subterranean burrows or into the canopy and therefore unlikely to successfully recruit, while only one seed was preyed upon. On average, A. butyracea was moved 6.5 m before being deposited. Astrocaryum standleyanum had an average distance moved of 1.4 m. In all cases, seeds were most likely to be deposited with the fruit eaten, but the seed remained intact.
