Omnivore • Feeds on both plants and meat In nature, it is virtually impossible to apply hard and fast categories. There can be a large amount of overlap among species, and for individuals within species, in terms of daily and/or seasonal behavior habits. It is possible for the activity patterns of mammals to change due to variations in weather, food availability or human disturbances. The Raccoon designation of diurnal or nocturnal represent the description Gray or black in color with a pale most common activity patterns of each species. gray underneath.

  • Eastern Cottontail Rabbits (Sylvilagus Floridanus)
    Publication WSFNR-20-58A July 2020 Managing Wildlife Damage: Eastern Cottontail Rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) Joseph Brown, UGA Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Michael T. Mengak, UGA Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources INTRODUCTION Eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) are found across the eastern United States, southern Canada, eastern Mexico, Central America and portions of South America (Figure 1). Cottontail rabbits are a sought-after game species by small game hunters. Many people enjoy seeing them around their yards and neighborhoods. Rabbits are well accepted by humans when their numbers are managed correctly. However, they can inflict damage across a range of habitats from rural farms to suburban lawns. They often damage flowers, vegetable gardens, and landscape trees and shrubs. TAXONOMY Class Mammalia Order Lagomorpha Family Leporidae Genus - Sylvilagus Species – floridanus Common Name - Eastern cottontail rabbit There are 11 genera and 54 species in Leporidae which includes hares and rabbits. Six species of cottontail rabbits are found in the genus Sylvilagus. The scientific name, Sylvilagus floridanus, means forest hare of Florida. Figure 1: Current eastern cottontail STATUS distribution across North and Central America. In Georgia, we have 4 native species of rabbits. The swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus), Appalachian cottontail (S. obscurus), marsh rabbit (S. palustris), and eastern cottontail (S. floridanus). The eastern cottontail (Figure 2) is the most abundant and ranges across the entire state. The Appalachian cottontail is the rarest rabbit and inhabits the start of the Appalachian mountain chain in North Georgia. It is on the Georgia Protected Wildlife list. The swamp rabbit is the largest of the four and inhabits swamps in the Piedmont region of Georgia.

Ломоносова Archives of Zoological Museum of Lomonosov Moscow State University Том / Vol. 54 Cтр. / Pр. 514–540 ECOLOGICAL NICHE EVOLUTION AND ITS RELATION TO PHYLOGENY AND GEOGRAPHY: A CASE STUDY OF ARVICOLINE VOLES (RODENTIA: ARVICOLINI) Georgy Shenbrot Mitrani Department of Desert Ecology, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; [email protected] Relations between ecological niches, genetic distances and geographic ranges were analyzed by pair-wise comparisons of 43 species and 38 intra- specifi c phylogenetic lineages of arvicoline voles (genera Alexandromys, Chi onomys, Lasiopodomys, Microtus). The level of niche divergence was found to be positively correlated with the level of genetic divergence and negatively correlated with the level of differences in position of geographic ranges of species and intraspecifi c forms. Frequency of different types of niche evolution (divergence, convergence, equivalence) was found to depend on genetic and geographic relations of compared forms. Among the latter with allopatric distribution, divergence was less frequent and convergence more frequent between intra-specifi c genetic lineages than between either clo sely-related or distant species. Among the forms with parapatric dis- tri bution, frequency of divergence gradually increased and frequencies of both convergence and equivalence gradually decreased from intra-specifi c genetic lineages via closely related to distant species. Among species with allopatric distribution, frequencies of niche divergence, con vergence and equivalence in closely related and distant species were si milar. The results obtained allowed suggesting that the main direction of the niche evolution was their divergence that gradually increased with ti me since population split.

  • Periodic Status Review for the Steller Sea Lion
    STATE OF WASHINGTON January 2015 Periodic Status Review for the Steller Sea Lion Gary J. Wiles The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife maintains a list of endangered, threatened, and sensitive species (Washington Administrative Codes 232-12-014 and 232-12-011, Appendix E). In 1990, the Washington Wildlife Commission adopted listing procedures developed by a group of citizens, interest groups, and state and federal agencies (Washington Administrative Code 232-12-297, Appendix A). The procedures include how species listings will be initiated, criteria for listing and delisting, a requirement for public review, the development of recovery or management plans, and the periodic review of listed species. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is directed to conduct reviews of each endangered, threatened, or sensitive wildlife species at least every five years after the date of its listing. The reviews are designed to include an update of the species status report to determine whether the status of the species warrants its current listing status or deserves reclassification. The agency notifies the general public and specific parties who have expressed their interest to the Department of the periodic status review at least one year prior to the five-year period so that they may submit new scientific data to be included in the review. The agency notifies the public of its recommendation at least 30 days prior to presenting the findings to the Fish and Wildlife Commission. In addition, if the agency determines that new information suggests that the classification of a species should be changed from its present state, the agency prepares documents to determine the environmental consequences of adopting the recommendations pursuant to requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act.
