Appendix Lagomorph Species: Geographical Distribution and Conservation Status
Appendix Lagomorph Species: Geographical Distribution and Conservation Status PAULO C. ALVES1* AND KLAUS HACKLÄNDER2 Lagomorph taxonomy is traditionally controversy, and as a consequence the number of species varies according to different publications. Although this can be due to the conservative characteristic of some morphological and genetic traits, like general shape and number of chromosomes, the scarce knowledge on several species is probably the main reason for this controversy. Also, some species have been discovered only recently, and from others we miss any information since they have been first described (mainly in pikas). We struggled with this difficulty during the work on this book, and decide to include a list of lagomorph species (Table 1). As a reference, we used the recent list published by Hoffmann and Smith (2005) in the “Mammals of the world” (Wilson and Reeder, 2005). However, to make an updated list, we include some significant published data (Friedmann and Daly 2004) and the contribu- tions and comments of some lagomorph specialist, namely Andrew Smith, John Litvaitis, Terrence Robinson, Andrew Smith, Franz Suchentrunk, and from the Mexican lagomorph association, AMCELA. We also include sum- mary information about the geographical range of all species and the current IUCN conservation status. Inevitably, this list still contains some incorrect information. However, a permanently updated lagomorph list will be pro- vided via the World Lagomorph Society (www.worldlagomorphsociety.org). 1 CIBIO, Centro de Investigaçaõ em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos and Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade do Porto, Campus Agrário de Vairaõ 4485-661 – Vairaõ, Portugal 2 Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management, University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Gregor-Mendel-Str.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The taxonomic status of the species Lepus melainus, the Manchurian black hare, is intensely debated. It is considered either as a valid species or a black color morph of L. mandshuricus, the Manchurian hare. Herein, we evaluate the validity of L. melainus using 24 morphological traits and two nuclear DNA loci (TG=466bp; MGF=592bp) from newly collected specimens. Except for winter pelage, we fail to discover significant morphological differences between L. melainus and L. mandshuricus. Analysis of the nuclear DNA sequences reveals lack of reciprocal monophyly between L.

May 16, 2011 Federal Trade Commission Office of the Secretary
May 16, 2011 Federal Trade Commission Office of the Secretary, Room H–113 (Annex O) 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 RE: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking under the Fur Products Labeling Act; Matter No. P074201 On behalf of the more than 11 million members and supporters of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), I submit the following comments to be considered regarding the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) advance notice of proposed rulemaking under the federal Fur Products Labeling Act (FPLA), 16 U.S.C. § 69, et seq. The rulemaking is being proposed in response to the Truth in Fur Labeling Act (TFLA), Public Law 111–113, enacted in December 2010, which eliminates the de minimis value exemption from the FPLA, 16 U.S.C. § 69(d), and directs the FTC to initiate a review of the Fur Products Name Guide, 16 C.F.R. 301.0. Thus, the FTC indicated in its notice that it is specifically seeking comment on the Name Guide, though the agency is also generally seeking comment on its fur rules in their entirety. As discussed below, the HSUS believes that there is a continuing need for the fur rules and for more active enforcement of these rules by the FTC. The purpose of the FPLA and the fur rules is to ensure that consumers receive truthful and accurate information about the fur content of the products they are purchasing. Unfortunately, sales of unlabeled and mislabeled fur garments, and inaccurate or misleading advertising of fur garments, remain all too common occurrences in today’s marketplace.

Staphylococcus Spp. from Wild Mammals in Aragón (Spain): Antibiotic Resistance Status
J Vet Res 64, 373-379, 2020 DOI:10.2478/jvetres-2020-0057 Staphylococcus spp. from wild mammals in Aragón (Spain): antibiotic resistance status Leticia Alcalá García1, Carmen Torres2, Antonio Rezusta López3, Carmelo Ortega Rodríguez1, Jesús Orós Espinosa1, Carmen Simón Valencia1 1Department of Animal Pathology, Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, Veterinary Faculty of Zaragoza, 50013, Zaragoza, Spain 2Department of Food and Agriculture, Area of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of La Rioja, 26006, Logroño, Spain 3Microbiology Service, Hospital Miguel Servet, IIS Aragón, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009, Zaragoza, Spain [email protected] Received: March 1, 2020 Accepted: August 24, 2020 Abstract Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat. It has been studied in humans and domestic animals, but there is a lack of data on wild animals. The objective of this study is the elucidation of its patterns in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from wild mammals of the Autonomous Community of Aragón (Spain). Material and Methods: A total of 103 mammals (Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Chiroptera, Erinaceomorpha, and Lagomorpha) were studied. A recovery centre provided 32 and hunting 71. Nasal and faecal samples yielded 111 staphylococci, which were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry. A susceptibility test to 11 antibiotics was carried out, and statistical analysis was performed. Results: Some differences were detected in bacterial prevalence depending on how the mammal fed. Artiodactyla, mainly hunted, were predisposed to carry coagulase-positive staphylococci. The staphylococci species recovered were resistant to at least two classes of antibiotics, and were disseminated in all of the geographical areas studied. Conclusion: Resistant staphylococci are widely distributed in the wild mammals in the areas of the study, but the resistance quantified in them is lower than that to be expected if the use of antibiotics in farms had a direct influence on the wildlife and its environment.

Spain and Portugal, 26 Dec 2019 – 9 Jan 2020. VLADIMIR DINETS
Spain and Portugal, 26 Dec 2019 – 9 Jan 2020. VLADIMIR DINETS Browsing trip reports on mammalwatching.com (my favorite way of self-torture for hardening the spirit), I noticed that there were none from mainland Portugal. So I talked my wife into going there for the winter break; we brought along my daughter and in-laws to make it more entertaining, so all mammalwatching was done at night or at dawn. We spent a few days in western Spain as well. Despite excellent weather I got only 31 species; goodies included Morisco roe deer, Pyrenean desman of the rarely seen western subspecies, Iberian shrew which I missed in 2014 despite much effort, and the recently split Portuguese field vole, the latter two seen within 40 min from each other. We forgot my camera and all flashlights at home, so I have no mammal photos except those taken with my phone. New moon was on December 26. Spain The weather was dry and cold in Spain, with strong temperature inversion in the interior (-2oC at night in Avila but +4 at 1700 m in Sierra de Gredos). Night drives and thermal scoping in fields, pastures and open woodland were remarkably devoid of mammal sightings. Avila: There are small colonies of Mediterranean pine voles in steeper portions of grassy slopes below the city walls, the best one at 40.659619N 4.704030W. Park across the street and watch the slope until you spot a vole; there is street lighting. A thermal scope helps. I saw one at 1 am after 2 hours of watching.
