C. Nuestro logo “Ozomatli” El nombre de “Ozomatli” proviene del náhuatl se refiere al símbolo astrológico del mono en el calendario azteca, así como al dios de la danza y del fuego. Se relaciona con la alegría, la danza, el canto, las habilidades. Al signo decimoprimero en la cosmogonía mexica. “Ozomatli” es una representación pictórica de los mono arañas (Ateles geoffroyi). La especie de primate de más amplia distribución en México. “ Es habitante de los bosques, sobre todo de los que están por donde sale el sol en Anáhuac. Tiene el dorso pequeño, es barrigudo y su cola, que a veces se enrosca, es larga. Sus manos y sus pies parecen de hombre; también sus uñas. Los Ozomatin gritan y silban y hacen visajes a la gente. Arrojan piedras y palos. Su cara es casi como la de una persona, pero tienen mucho pelo.” THERYA Volumen 10, número 3 septiembre 2019 EDITORIAL Editorial Sergio Ticul Álvarez-Castañeda 211 ARTICLES Insights into the evolutionary and demographic history of the extant endemic rodents of the Galápagos Islands Contenido Susette Castañeda-Rico, Sarah A.

    222 Author’s name Bobcat Diet on an Area Managed for Northern Bobwhite Ivy A. Godbois, Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, Newton, GA 39870 L. Mike Conner, Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, Newton, GA 39870 Robert J. Warren, Warnell School of Forest Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 Abstract: We quantified bobcat (Lynx rufus) diet on a longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) dominated area managed for northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), hereafter quail. We sorted prey items to species when possible, but for analysis we categorized them into 1 of 5 classes: rodent, bird, deer, rabbit, and other species. Bobcat diet did not dif- fer seasonally (X2 = 17.82, P = 0.1213). Most scats (91%) contained rodent, 14% con- tained bird, 9% contained deer (Odocoileus virginianus), 6% contained rabbit (Sylvila- gus sp.), and 12% contained other. Quail remains were detected in only 2 of 135 bobcat scats examined. Because of low occurrence of quail (approximately 1.4%) in bobcat scats we suggest that bobcats are not a serious predator of quail. Key Words: bobcat, diet, Georgia, Lynx rufus Proc. Annu. Conf. Southeast. Assoc. Fish and Wildl. Agencies 57:222–227 Bobcats are opportunistic in their feeding habits, and their diet often reflects prey availability (Latham 1951). In the Southeast, bobcats prey most heavily on small mammals such as rabbits and cotton rats (Davis 1955, Beasom and Moore 1977, Miller and Speake 1978, Maehr and Brady 1986, Baker et al. 2001). In some regions, bobcats also consume deer. Deer consumption is often highest during fall- winter when there is the possibility for hunter-wounded deer to be consumed and during spring-summer when fawns are available as prey (Buttrey 1979, Story et al.

H. H. TATE This is the second of a series of short papers on the systematic status of Neotropical mice. The intention is to concentrate in one article the scattered taxonomic information of the genera and species in question and to present it in such form that it is readily available for s ibsequent work. The genera treated are close allies and their histories interlock repeatedly. The history of each successive genus or subgenus is presented in chronological order, and placed after it is a summary setting forth the present status, based upon the opinions of recent writers, of all forms concerned, together with their type localities. HISTORICAL STATEMENT EUNEOMYS Coues Subgenus Euneomys Coues 1837. Waterhouse described (p. 17) Mus micropus (n. sp.) and placed it (p. 21) in Abrothrix, n. subg. of Mus. 1839.

    Biodivers Conserv (2011) 20:3077–3100 DOI 10.1007/s10531-011-0118-9 REVIEW PAPER Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina Diego Medan • Juan Pablo Torretta • Karina Hodara • Elba B. de la Fuente • Norberto H. Montaldo Received: 23 July 2010 / Accepted: 15 July 2011 / Published online: 24 July 2011 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 Abstract In this paper we summarize for the first time the effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on animal diversity in the Pampas of Argentina and discuss research needs for biodiversity conservation in the area. The Pampas experienced little human intervention until the last decades of the 19th century. Agriculture expanded quickly during the 20th century, transforming grasslands into cropland and pasture lands and converting the landscape into a mosaic of natural fragments, agricultural fields, and linear habitats. In the 1980s, agriculture intensification and replacement of cattle grazing- cropping systems by continuous cropping promoted a renewed homogenisation of the most productive areas. Birds and carnivores were more strongly affected than rodents and insects, but responses varied within groups: (a) the geographic ranges and/or abundances of many native species were reduced, including those of carnivores, herbivores, and specialist species (grassland-adapted birds and rodents, and probably specialized pollinators), sometimes leading to regional extinction (birds and large carnivores), (b) other native species were unaffected (birds) or benefited (bird, rodent and possibly generalist pollinator and crop-associated insect species), (c) novel species were introduced, thus increasing species richness of most groups (26% of non-rodent mammals, 11.1% of rodents, 6.2% of birds, 0.8% of pollinators).

  • Riqueza De Espécies E Relevância Para a Conservação
    O Brasil é reconhecidamente um dos países de megadiversidade de mamíferos do mundo, abrigando cerca de 12% de todas as espécies desse grupo existentes no nosso planeta, distribuídas em 12 Ordens e 50 Famílias. Dentre as espécies que ocorrem no País, 210 (30% do total) são exclusivas do território brasileiro. Esses números não só indicam a importância do País para a conservação mundial desses animais como também trazem para a mastozoologia brasileira a responsabilidade de produzir e disseminar conhecimento científico de qualidade sobre um grupo carismático, bastante ameaçado pela ação antrópica e importante componente dos ecossistemas naturais. O próprio aumento no número de espécies reconhecidas para o Brasil nos últimos 15 anos já é um indicativo da resposta que vem sendo dada pelos pesquisadores do País a esse desafio de gerar conhecimento científico de qualidade sobre os mamíferos. Na publicação pioneira de Fonseca e colaboradores (Lista Anotada dos Mamíferos do Brasil, 1996), houve a indicação de 524 espécies brasileiras de mamíferos. Na compilação mais recente, de 2012, esse número passou para 701, o que representa um aumento de quase 34% em 16 anos (Paglia et al., Lista Anotada dos Mamíferos do Brasil , 2a ed., 2012). Visando contribuir para essa produção de conhecimento científico de qualidade sobre mamíferos, há alguns anos atrás nós organizamos uma publicação que reunia estudos científicos inéditos sobre vários aspectos da biologia do grupo, intitulada Mamíferos do Brasil: Genética, Sistemática, Ecologia e Conservação. Esse livro, publicado em 2006, contou com a participação de vários mastozoólogos brasileiros de destaque. A nossa intenção, com o mesmo, era contribuir para a produção e divulgação da informação científica para um público mais amplo, incluindo alunos de graduação e não-acadêmicos interessados em mastozoologia, além é claro dos pesquisadores especialistas na área.

  • Integrative Taxonomy of the Southernmost Tucu-Tucus in the World: Differentiation of the Nominal Forms Associated with Ctenomys
    Mammalian Biology https://doi.org/10.1007/s42991-020-00015-z ORIGINAL ARTICLE Integrative taxonomy of the southernmost tucu‑tucus in the world: diferentiation of the nominal forms associated with Ctenomys magellanicus Bennett, 1836 (Rodentia, Hystricomorpha, Ctenomyidae) Pablo Teta1 · Guillermo D’Elía2 · Juan C. Opazo2 Received: 19 July 2019 / Accepted: 23 January 2020 © Deutsche Gesellschaft für Säugetierkunde 2020 Abstract We reviewed the alpha taxonomy of the genus Ctenomys Blainville, 1826 in southernmost South America, with emphasis on those nominal forms previously associated with C. magellanicus Bennett, 1836. We integrate distinct lines of evidence, including variation of mtDNA sequences, and the assessment of quantitative and qualitative traits of skins and skulls; when available, karyotypic data was also considered. Phylogenetic analysis of molecular markers shows low levels of divergence among specimens from southern South American mainland and the island of Tierra del Fuego (ca. 0.4%). This evidence plus the results of the multivariate analysis of metric data suggest that the nominal forms C. colburni J. A. Allen, 1903, C. fueginus Philippi, 1880, C. osgoodi J. A. Allen, 1905, C. m. dicki Osgood, 1943, and C. m. obscurus Texera, 1975 are subjective junior synonyms of C. magellanicus. In addition, we reviewed the status of C. fodax Thomas, 1910, a nominal form that have been alternatively considered as a valid species or related to C. magellanicus by previous researchers. Based on quantitative and qualitative morphological traits, we preliminarily regard C. fodax at the species level while citing it for the frst time to Chile.

The aim of this study was to identify intestinal parasites from wild rodents in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz and Santa Catariana Island, and to compare the richness and composition of the gastrointestinal parasite community of both areas. Rodents were captured with live traps, and feces were screened using the sedimentation method and optical microscopy. The following species of rodents were captured in the two areas: Akodon montensis, Euryoryzomys russatus, Oligoryzomys nigripes and Nectomys squamipes. In Santo Amaro da Impetratriz, prevalent parasites were: A. montensis (51%), E. russatus (62%), O. nigripes (53%) and N. squamipes (20%). From the Island of Santa Catarina the rodent prevalence rates were: A. montensis (43%), E. russatus (59%), O. nigripes (30%) and N. squamipes (33%) and the collected parasites were: Hymenolepis sp., Longistriata sp., Strongyloides sp., Hassalstrongylus sp., Syphacia sp., Trichomonas sp., Ancylostomidae, Trichuridae, Oxyuridae and Eucoccidiorida.
