  • Small Mammal Populations in Riparian Zones of Different-Aged Coniferous Forests

    Small Mammal Populations in Riparian Zones of Different-Aged Coniferous Forests

    SMALL MAMMAL POPULATIONS IN RIPARIAN ZONES OF DIFFERENT-AGED CONIFEROUS FORESTS R. G. ANTHONY, E. D. FORSMAN, G. A. GREEN, G. WITMER, AND S. K. NELSON ABSTRACT— Small mammals were trapped in riparian zones in young, mature, and old-growth coniferous forests during spring and summer of 1983. Peromyscus manicu- latus was the most abundant species and comprised 76% and 83% of the total captures during spring and summer, respectively. More species, but fewer individuals, were captured on the streamside transects in comparison to the riparian fringe transects, which were 15-20 m from the stream. Six species of Insectivora, including five species of Sorex, were captured in these riparian zones. No species was solely dependent on riparian zones in old-growth forests; however, additional studies are needed to define the specific habitat requirements of Sorex bendirii, Sorex palustris, Neurotrichus gibbsii, Phenacomys albipes, and Microtus richardsoni. Riparian zones recently have been recognized for their uniqueness and intrinsic value as wildlife habitat. To date, much attention has been focused on the most conspicuous riparian zones, such as those found in semiarid lands or along major rivers and streams (Johnson and Jones 1977, Thomas et al. 1979). Studies on wildlife populations in riparian zones dominated by coniferous forests are less numerous (Swanson et al. 1982), although riparian zones along low-order (second-, third-, and fourth-order streams at the head of watersheds) mountain streams are an integral part of the forest ecosystem (Swanson et al. 1982). Harvest of old-growth forests has become a major forestry-wildlife issue, because these forests provide unique wildlife habitat and they are rapidly being logged (Meslow et al.

    Late Miocene Soricidae (Mammalia) Fauna from Tardosbánya (Western Hungary)

    Hantkeniana 2, 103-125 (1998) Budapest Late Miocene Soricidae (Mammalia) fauna from Tardosbánya (Western Hungary) Lukács Gy. MÉszÁRos Eötvös Loránd University, Department ofPalaeontology H-I083 Budapest, Ludovika tér 2, Hungary (Wi th 5 figures, 6 tables and 4 plates) The Soricidae (Mamrnalia, Insectivora) elements of the rich and well preserved fossil vertebrate fauna from Tardosbánya limestone quarry (Western Hungary, Gerecse Mountains) are presented. Five species could have been identified from the material: Amblycoptus oligodon KORMOS 1926, Crusafontina konnosi (BACHMAYER& WILSON, 1970), Blarinella dubia (BACHMAYERand WILSON, 1970), Episoricuius gibberodon (PETÉNYI, 1864) and Paenelimnoecus repenningi (BACHMAYER & WILSON, 1970). The occurrence of Crusafantina, B. dubia and P. repenningi indicates that the age of the sarnple is Late Miocene. The morphometrical studies on C. konnosi, and the morphology and the low relative frequency of A. oligodon suggest that the fauna is correlative with the Turolian MN 12 Zone. The occurrence of A. oligodon, C. konnosi and E. gibberodon indicates well watered, forested environment. Introduction The Late Miocene vertebrate fauna from Tardosbánya quarry was colleeted by D. JÁNOSSY Locality (Hungarian Natural History Museum) in 1975. He gave a prelinúnary faunal list of the sample (1981, Tardosbánya is situated at the northern margin only in manuscript form) and deposited the material of the Transdanubian Central Range (Western in the Geological Museum of Hungary (GMH) (in Hungary), about 10 km north from Tatabánya (see the Geological Institute of Hungary).

The remains have been found in a sediment- the following soricids: filled fossil shaft in the Jurassic limestone of the Gerecse Mountains, excavated by exploitation in the - "Petenyia" "red marble" quarry near Tardosbánya.

    Uropsilus, Talpidae): Implications for Taxonomy and Conservation Tao Wan1,2†, Kai He1,3† and Xue-Long Jiang1*

    Wan et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:232 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/232 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Multilocus phylogeny and cryptic diversity in Asian shrew-like moles (Uropsilus, Talpidae): implications for taxonomy and conservation Tao Wan1,2†, Kai He1,3† and Xue-Long Jiang1* Abstract Background: The genus Uropsilus comprises a group of terrestrial, montane mammals endemic to the Hengduan and adjacent mountains. These animals are the most primitive living talpids. The taxonomy has been primarily based on cursory morphological comparisons and the evolutionary affinities are little known. To provide insight into the systematics of this group, we estimated the first multi-locus phylogeny and conducted species delimitation, including taxon sampling throughout their distribution range. Results: We obtained two mitochondrial genes (~1, 985 bp) and eight nuclear genes (~4, 345 bp) from 56 specimens. Ten distinct evolutionary lineages were recovered from the three recognized species, eight of which were recognized as species/putative species. Five of these putative species were found to be masquerading as the gracile shrew mole. The divergence time estimation results indicated that climate change since the last Miocene and the uplift of the Himalayas may have resulted in the diversification and speciation of Uropsilus. Conclusions: The cryptic diversity found in this study indicated that the number of species is strongly underestimated under the current taxonomy. Two synonyms of gracilis (atronates and nivatus) should be given full species status, and the taxonomic status of another three potential species should be evaluated using extensive taxon sampling, comprehensive morphological, and morphometric approaches. Consequently, the conservation status of Uropsilus spp.

    A Guide to the Mammals of Beijing Last update 8 March 2018 Terry Townshend A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING "1 Introduction This guide has been collated to help residents and visitors to Beijing interested in specifically looking for mammals and/or identifying any species they record through casual observations. Given the lack of english-language resources and data this guide is certainly not comprehensive and reflects only a partial summary of the mammals in the capital. At the moment it includes information about only some of the orders and families. For example, mice, rats, voles, shrews, moles and bats are not included; as information is discovered or made available, the guide will be updated to rectify as many of these omissions as possible. Please contact Birding Beijing if you can help improve the information contained in this guide in any way. Individual sightings of any mammal in Beijing are also of interest. Please send any details, including species, location, date and time via email to [email protected]. Thank you. Format The list of mammals follows the order of “A Guide to the Mammals of China” by Andrew T Smith and Yan Xie1, the best reference guide to mammals in China. The format includes English name, scientific name, Chinese name and ‘pinyin’ (the Romanisation of Chinese characters based on their pronunciation). Photos are included where available together with a short paragraph about the status in Beijing. 1 Smith, Andrew T and Xie, Yan, “A Guide to the Mammals of China”, Princeton University Press, 2008 A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING "2 The Mammals Rhesus Macaque – Macaca mulatta – 猕猴 – Mi Hou Historically thought to have occurred in Beijing and today occasionally seen in Fangshan District, although sightings are thought to involve animals introduced for tourism purposes.

The parasite-host checklist includes a total of 114 species of helminth parasites reported in the literature from 28 species of insectivores, totaling 349 records. These include 97 species from shrews (9 trematodes, 34 cestodes, 50 nematodes, 4 acanthocephalans) and 23 species from moles (3 trematodes, 4 cestodes, 10 nematodes, 6 acanthocephalans). Each helminth species is listed under its most current accepted taxon, with all known synonyms, dis- tribution by state/province, and references for each geographic location. The following new combinations are proposed: Lineolepis pribilofensis (Olson, 1969) n. comb. for Hymenolepis pribilofensis Olson, 1969; Monocercus soricis (Nei- land, 1953) n. comb. for Molluscotaenia soricis (Neiland, 1953) Spasskii & Andreiko, 1971; and Eucoleus blarinae (Ogren, 1953) n. comb. for Capillaria blarinae Ogren, 1953. The state of knowledge of helminths of insectivores in North America is briefly discussed. Key words: helminths; Soricomorpha; Insectivora; shrews; moles; North America Introduction Shrews and moles have traditionally been classified in the order Insectivora, but more recently have been placed in the order Soricomorpha (Wilson & Reeder 2005).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Knowledge of the Soricidae occurring in Vietnam has recently expanded with the discovery of several species previously unknown to science. Here we describe a new species of white-toothed shrew belonging to the genus Crocidura from lowland areas in southern Vietnam and from a river valley in north-eastern Cambodia. This small to medium sized species is diagnosed on the basis of external features, cranial proportions and morphology of the last upper and lower molars. Comparisons are made with other species of Crocidura known to occur in Vietnam and the biogeography of the regions where the new species has been found, is briefly discussed. Key words: white-toothed shrew, Vietnam, Cambodia Introduction Knowledge of the soricid fauna of South-East Asia and particularly that of Vietnam is still poorly understood, while that of Cambodia is virtually unknown (Jenkins, 1982; Heaney & Timm, 1983; Jenkins & Smith, 1995; Motokawa et al., 2005; Jenkins et al., 2009).

DNA sequence data combined with a multivariate analysis of cranial characters, has revealed a high cryptic diversity of the group. An analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and five nuclear genes has revealed two deeply divergent clades: the western one (E. klossi + E. malayana + E. longirostris from Sichuan + Euroscaptor spp. from northern Vietnam and Yunnan, China), and the eastern one (E. parvidens s.l. + E. subanura). The pattern of genetic variation in the genus Euroscaptor discovered in the present study provides support for the existence of several cryptic lineages that could be treated as distinct species based on their genetic and morphological distinctness and geographical distribution.
