  • Enclosure Size in Captive Wild Mammals. a Comparison Between UK Zoological Collections
    1 ENCLOSURE SIZE IN CAPTIVE WILD MAMMALS: A comparison between UK zoological collections and the wild. JORDI CASAMITJANA1 Abstract A comparison was made between the average enclosure size of a random sample of mammals kept during the years 2000- 2001 in a random sample of UK zoological collections and the minimum home range of these taxa in the wild. Allometric laws were used to estimate the home range area, while direct observation from videotaped visits to the collections was used to estimate enclosure size area. The results showed that, as an average, the average enclosure size had an area 100 times smaller than the minimum home range. Key words: mammal, zoo, enclosure size, allometric, megafauna, captivity, home range Introduction The zoo debate Nowadays, many people choose not to go to zoos because they consider that either it is wrong to keep wild animals in captivity as a matter of principle, or the conditions the animals are kept in zoos are unacceptable. The zoo community, and its supporters, think otherwise, and this difference of opinion is what constitute the so called ‘zoo debate’. It is not unusual that people engaged in such debate try to prove their points either by quoting ‘expert’ opinion or by referring to facts, evidence and reports about zoo’s activities. However, many of these ‘facts’ are missing because no objective research has ever been developed to find them. One of the most common arguments used in the zoo debate refers to the space available to captive animals kept in zoos. The anti-zoo side of the debate often criticises enclosures for being too small, while zoo advocates tend to respond that they are big enough, or that size ‘does not matter’.

Bats and rodents represent the highest diversity of recorded species. Notes on systematics and ecology for the re- corded species were given.

  • Out of Europe: Investigating Hystrix Cristata (Rodentia: Hystricidae) Skull Morphometric Geographic Variability in Africa
    Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography 36 (2021): a001 https://doi.org/10.21426/B636051379 Out of Europe: Investigating Hystrix cristata (Rodentia: Hystricidae) skull morphometric geographic variability in Africa FRANCESCO M. ANGELICI1*, PAOLO COLANGELO2, SPARTACO GIPPOLITI3 1 FIZV, Via Marco Aurelio 2, I-00184 Rome (Italy) 2 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri, CNR-IRET, Via Salaria km 29.300, I-00015 Montelibretti, Rome (Italy) 3 Società Italiana per la Storia della Fauna ‘Giuseppe Altobello’, Viale Liegi 48, I-00198 Rome (Italy) * corresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: Crested porcupine, geographic variability, Hystrix cristata senegalica, Hystrix cristata galeata, North-East Africa, taxonomy. SUMMARY The crested porcupine Hystrix cristata is one of the most well-known members of the Family Hystricidae, yet very little is known regarding its geographic variability in Africa. Two alternative hypotheses exist; pre-1940s classical taxonomy supported the existence of a distinct Eastern African species, Hystrix galeata, whereas recent molecular data seem to support only a North-South separation inside one single species, with the geographic-ecological barrier represented by the Sahara desert. Our morphometric data support the recognition of Hystrix cristata senegalica Cuvier, 1822 as the sub- Saharan representative of the species with a clear morphological difference between the North African and sub-Saharan crested porcupines, which seem re-conductible mostly to size difference. Within H. c. senegalica, our analysis seems to support a weak separation between the West African and the East African samples. Owing to considerable qualitative skull differences and overlooked molecular data, the taxonomic status of H. galeata remains uncertain as well as the status of porcupines of North-East Africa (Nubia).
