Photographic Evidence of Desert Cat Felis Silvestris Ornata and Caracal
[VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 4 I OCT. – DEC. 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Photographic evidence of Desert cat Felis silvestris ornata and Caracal Felis caracal using camera traps in human dominated forests of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India Raju Lal Gurjar* & Anil Kumar Chhangani Department of Environmental Science, Maharaja Ganga Singh University, Bikaner- 334001 (Rajasthan) *Email: [email protected] Received: July 04, 2018 Accepted: August 22, 2018 ABSTRACT We recorded movement of Desert cat Felis silvestris ornata and Caracal Felis caracal using camera traps in human dominated corridors from Ranthambhore National Park to Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary, Western India. We obtained 9 caracal captures and one Desert cat capture in 360 camera trap nights. Our findings revels that presence of both cat species outside park in corridors was associated with functionality of corridor as well as availability of prey. Further the forest patches, ravines and undulating terrain supports dispersal of small mammals too. Desert cat and Caracals were more active late at night and during crepuscular hours. There was a difference in their activity between dusk and dawn. Since this is its kind of observation beyond parks regime we genuinely argue for conservation of corridors and its protection leads us to conserve both large as well as small cats in the region. Keywords: Desert Cat, Caracal, Camera Trap, Ranthambhore National Park, Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary INTRODUCTION India has 11 species of small cats besides the charismatic big cats like tiger Panthera tigris, leopard Panthera pardus, Snow leopard Panthera uncia and Asiatic lion Panthera leo persica.

O Ssakach Drapieżnych – Część 2 - Kotokształtne
PAN Muzeum Ziemi – O ssakach drapieżnych – część 2 - kotokształtne O ssakach drapieżnych - część 2 - kotokształtne W niniejszym artykule przyjrzymy się ewolucji i zróżnicowaniu zwierząt reprezentujących jedną z dwóch głównych gałęzi ewolucyjnych w obrębie drapieżnych (Carnivora). Na wczesnym etapie ewolucji, drapieżne podzieliły się (ryc. 1) na psokształtne (Caniformia) oraz kotokształtne (Feliformia). Paradoksalnie, w obydwu grupach występują (bądź występowały w przeszłości) formy, które bardziej przypominają psy, bądź bardziej przypominają koty. Ryc. 1. Uproszczone drzewo pokrewieństw ewolucyjnych współczesnych grup drapieżnych (Carnivora). Ryc. Michał Loba, na podstawie Nyakatura i Bininda-Emonds, 2012. Tym, co w rzeczywistości dzieli te dwie grupy na poziomie anatomicznym jest budowa komory ucha środkowego (bulla tympanica, łac.; ryc. 2). U drapieżnych komora ta jest budowa przede wszystkim przez dwie kości – tylną kaudalną kość entotympaniczną i kość ektotympaniczną. U kotokształtnych, w miejscu ich spotkania się ze sobą powstaje ciągła przegroda. Obydwie części komory kontaktują się ze sobą tylko za pośrednictwem małego okienka.

Selected Methods of in Vitro Embryo Production in Felids – a Review*
Animal Science Papers and Reports vol. 35 (2017) no. 4, 361-377 Institute of Genetics and Animal Breeding, Jastrzębiec, Poland Selected methods of in vitro embryo production in felids – a review* Sylwia Prochowska1**, Wojciech Niżański1, Agnieszka Partyka1, Joanna Kochan2, Wiesława Młodawska2, Agnieszka Nowak2, Anna Migdał2, Józef Skotnicki3, Teresa Grega3, Marcin Pałys3 1 Department of Reproduction and Clinic of Farm Animals, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, pl. Grunwaldzki 49, 50-366 Wrocław 2 Institute of Veterinary Science, University of Agriculture in Cracow, Al. Mickiewicza 24/28, 30-059 Kraków 3 Foundation Municipal Park and the Zoological Garden in Cracow, Kasy Oszczędności Miasta Krakowa 14, 30-232 Kraków (Accepted November 6, 2017) During the past decade the need for Artificial Reproductive Techniques in felids has greatly increased. Mostly, this is a result of growing expectations that these techniques may be applied in conservation biology and thereby contribute to saving wild felids from extinction. In this article we describe three most common methods of obtaining embryos in vitro in the domestic cat and its wild relatives: classic in vitro fertilisation, in vitro fertilisation by intracytoplasmic sperm injection and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Each of the methods provides a cleavage rate of around 50% and approx. 20% of embryos develop to the blastocyst stage. After the transfer of embryos produced by these methods, scientists obtained living offspring of the domestic cat, as well as several wild cats: the tiger, serval, fishing cat, caracal, ocelot, wild cat, sand cat, black-footed cat and the oncilla. These successes, in spite of the low efficiency of the discussed methods, are promising and suggest that biotechniques of reproduction will be valuable tools in the protection of wild species.

Species at Risk Status and Distribution of the Leopard (Panthera Pardus) in Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains
Species at Risk Status and Distribution of the Leopard (Panthera pardus) in Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains Kirk Johnson Abstract For millennia large mammalian carnivores, including the Caspian tiger International Ecological Partnerships (Panthera tigris virgata), Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica), brown bear PSC 88 Box 2721 APO AE (Ursus arctos), gray wolf (Canis lupus), striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), 09821-2700 Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) and three subspecies of leopard (Panthera pardus [email protected] tulliana, P.p. saxicolor and P.p. ciscaucasica) roamed mountains, plateaus and grasslands of Turkey, historically known as Asia Minor or Anatolia. Of the big cats, only the leopard and Eurasian lynx remain in increasingly isolated mountainous habitats. Evidence suggests a few leopards remain in Turkey's Black Sea mountain ranges and the inaccessible peaks of the Taurus Mountains in the south. Also, despite centuries of persecution, the leopard still exists in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Ranges of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, receiving some juvenile immigration from a larger population in northern Iran's Zagros Mountains. Leopard conservation throughout the Caucasus countries and Turkey will only succeed if viable populations of ungulate prey such as the Bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus), and wild boar (Sus scrofa) can be sustained in protected and unprotected habitats, and people in the region are educated about the importance of these species to the sustainability of the ecosystem.

Reanalysis Datasets Outperform Other Gridded Climate Products In
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Reanalysis datasets outperform other gridded climate products in vegetation change analysis in peripheral conservation areas of Central Asia Harald Zandler1,2*, Thomas Senftl1 & Kim André Vanselow3 Global environmental research requires long-term climate data. Yet, meteorological infrastructure is missing in the vast majority of the world’s protected areas. Therefore, gridded products are frequently used as the only available climate data source in peripheral regions. However, associated evaluations are commonly biased towards well observed areas and consequently, station-based datasets. As evaluations on vegetation monitoring abilities are lacking for regions with poor data availability, we analyzed the potential of several state-of-the-art climate datasets (CHIRPS, CRU, ERA5-Land, GPCC-Monitoring-Product, IMERG-GPM, MERRA-2, MODIS-MOD10A1) for assessing NDVI anomalies (MODIS-MOD13Q1) in two particularly suitable remote conservation areas. We calculated anomalies of 156 climate variables and seasonal periods during 2001–2018, correlated these with vegetation anomalies while taking the multiple comparison problem into consideration, and computed their spatial performance to derive suitable parameters. Our results showed that four datasets (MERRA- 2, ERA5-Land, MOD10A1, CRU) were suitable for vegetation analysis in both regions, by showing signifcant correlations controlled at a false discovery rate < 5% and in more than half of the analyzed areas. Cross-validated variable selection and importance assessment based on the Boruta algorithm indicated high importance of the reanalysis datasets ERA5-Land and MERRA-2 in both areas but higher diferences and variability between the regions with all other products. CHIRPS, GPCC and the bias-corrected version of MERRA-2 were unsuitable and not important in both regions.

China October
China October - December 2019 40 days Sophie and Manuel Baumgartner China was the last part of our 5-month mammal watching journey. We already had a great time in Borneo and South America and even though we were not sure how it would be here - we already appreciated a lot what nature had ready for us. What we experienced in China blew us away! When we started to organise our trip to China our idea was to travel independently once again and put a focus on also discovering new places (contributing in style of citizen science) but we quickly realized that this was going to be complicated here. It started with the fact that we were not allowed to drive, neither with our driving license, nor with the international one. Once we were there, we were really grateful to have a Chinese speaking travel companion, we barely met anyone speaking English and since one cannot use Google (no Facebook, Wikipedia and WhatsApp only partially as well by the way) here… well. No Google Translate and only Bing which leads to translations such as this on the picture besides. Even if you are travel experienced, everything seems to be different here in China and discovering new places was a great challenge to us. There are no Apps or anything like that where nature reserve and accommodations are visible, most interesting roads (small roads) are not visible on Google Maps (maps.me was sometimes more accurate). So, we always basically had to drive [email protected] anywhere and discover there. Accommodations were sometimes hard to find and there is also the possibility that you do find an accommodation but that they don’t take “westerners” because they don’t know how to report to the police or one time the police kindly told us to leave the whole county as we would have needed a special permit to visit.
