  • MINNESOTA MUSTELIDS Young
    By Blane Klemek MINNESOTA MUSTELIDS Young Naturalists the Slinky,Stinky Weasel family ave you ever heard anyone call somebody a weasel? If you have, then you might think Hthat being called a weasel is bad. But weasels are good hunters, and they are cunning, curious, strong, and fierce. Weasels and their relatives are mammals. They belong to the order Carnivora (meat eaters) and the family Mustelidae, also known as the weasel family or mustelids. Mustela means weasel in Latin. With 65 species, mustelids are the largest family of carnivores in the world. Eight mustelid species currently make their homes in Minnesota: short-tailed weasel, long-tailed weasel, least weasel, mink, American marten, OTTERS BY DANIEL J.

Samuels Keywords: Ursidae, Geometric morphometrics, Ursus americanus, Ursus arctos, Last Glacial Maximum ABSTRACT Cranial Morphological Distinctiveness Between Ursus arctos and U. americanus by Benjamin J. Hillesheim Despite being separated by millions of years of evolution, black bears (Ursus americanus) and brown bears (Ursus arctos) can be difficult to distinguish based on skeletal and dental material alone. Complicating matters, some Late Pleistocene U. americanus are significantly larger in size than their modern relatives, obscuring the identification of the two bears.

Both 17 species are susceptible to infection; however, the lack of, and low quantity of infectious virus 18 shed by raccoons and skunks, respectively, and lack of cage mate transmission in both species, 19 suggest that neither species are competent SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs. 20 Introduction 21 SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate on a global scale, the need to identify potential 22 animal reservoirs, especially among wildlife, has become a priority, spurring surveillance and bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.06.434226; this version posted March 8, 2021.

Understanding species 20 boundaries within this group is critical for effective conservation given that regional populations 21 or subspecies (e.g., S. p. interrupta) have experienced significant population declines. Further, 22 there may be currently unrecognized diversity within this genus as some taxa (e.g., S. 23 angustifrons) and geographic regions (e.g., Central America) never have been assessed using 24 DNA sequence data. We analyzed species limits and diversification patterns in spotted skunks 25 using multilocus nuclear (ultraconserved elements) and mitochondrial (whole mitogenomes and 26 single gene analysis) data sets from broad geographic sampling representing all currently 27 recognized species and subspecies.

  • Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, B.C., Ed., 1998 22
    Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, B.C., Ed., 1998 22 Salt marsh wandering shrew, Sorex vagrans halicoetes Paul W. Collins Description: A small to medium sized (100-110 mm TL), dark shrew, sooty seal brown to black above with a relatively long (37-41 mm), unicolored tail; dark brown ventrum; and moderately large high-domed skull (Grinnell 1913). Distinguished from upland S. v. vagrans by its darker dorsum and brown ventrum (silvery brown in vagrans), slightly larger body size, broader rostrum, and longer maxillary tooth-row (Grinnell 1913, Jackson 1928, Findley 1955). Distinguished from S. o. sinuosus by its slightly lighter color, larger size, browner ears, and high, dome-shaped cranium (Grinnell 1913). Weight from 3.1 to 7.2 g (males) and from 2.7 to 7.0 g (females) (Rudd 1955b). Distinguished from upland S. v. vagrans by darker dorsal and ventral pelage (Grinnell 1913). Taxonomic Remarks: The salt-marsh wandering shrew was first described as S. halicoetes Grinnell (1913). Jackson (1928) relegated halicoetes to a subspecies of S. vagrans, a convention followed by subsequent authors (Grinnell 1933, Findley 1955, Hennings and Hoffmann 1977, Junge and Hoffmann 1981, Carraway 1990). The taxonomy of S. vagrans group has had a confusing history (Merriam 1895, Grinnell 1913, Jackson 1928). There is little controversy about the taxonomic status of S. v. halicoetes, although the karyotype from halicoetes was identical to S. v. vagrans from the northern part of the San Francisco Bay region (Brown 1974). This taxon still needs a more thorough biochemical and morphometric analysis to help clarify its phylogenetic and taxonomic relationship to other members of the S.
