The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor
July 4, 2011 The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor A Project Design Note for Validation to Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards (2nd Edition). CCB Project Design Document – July 4, 2011 Executive Summary Colombia is home to over 10% of the world’s plant and animal species despite covering just 0.7% of the planet’s surface, and has more registered species of birds and amphibians than any other country in the world. Along Colombia’s northwest border with Panama lies the Darién region, one of the most diverse ecosystems of the American tropics, a recognized biodiversity hotspot, and home to two UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites. The spectacular rainforests of the Darien shelter populations of endangered species such as the jaguar, spider monkey, wild dog, and peregrine falcon, as well as numerous rare species that exist nowhere else on the planet. The Darién is also home to a diverse group of Afro-Colombian, indigenous, and mestizo communities who depend on these natural resources. On August 1, 2005, the Council of Afro-Colombian Communities of the Tolo River Basin (COCOMASUR) was awarded collective land title to over 13,465 hectares of rainforest in the Serranía del Darién in the municipality of Acandí, Chocó in recognition of their traditional lifestyles and longstanding presence in the region. If they are to preserve the forests and their traditional way of life, these communities must overcome considerable challenges. During 2001- 2010 alone, over 10% of the natural forest cover of the surrounding region was converted to pasture for cattle ranching or cleared to support unsustainable agricultural practices. -

R. Bezerra Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade de Brasília, 70910-900, Brasília, DF, Brazil. <abezerra@ fst.com.br> ABSTRACT: The genus Gyldenstolpia was recently described and includes two species, G. fronto and G. planaltensis, both very rare. Gyldenstolpia planaltensis had records in only two localities in the central-western Brazil and is endemic to the Cerrado biome. A new locality is added to G. planaltensis, extending its distribution, and was obtained from a specimen housed in a museum collection. Summarized data on the distribution, ecology and natural history of G. planaltensis denotes that this species can be already extinct or committed to extinction because of habitat conversion and habitat loss. -

It is widespread in forest and woodlands as well as being able to live in and around buildings. It will feed on and damage almost any edible thing. The ship rat is most frequently identified with catastrophic declines of birds on islands. It is very agile and often frequents tree tops searching for food and nesting there in bunches of leaves and twigs. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description A slender rat with large hairless ears, the ship rat (Rattus rattus) may be grey-brown on the back with either a similarly coloured or creamish-white belly, or it may be black all over. The uniformly- coloured tail is always longer than the head and body length combined. Its body weight is usually between 120 and 160 g but it can exceed 200 g. The work of Yosida (1980) and his co-workers has shown that there are two forms of R. rattus that differ in chromosome number. The more widespread Oceanic form has 38 chromosomes and is the ship rat of Europe, the Mediterranean region, America, Australia and New Zealand. -

Comparative Cytogenetics 11(4): 833–892. https://doi. org/10.3897/CompCytogen.v11i4.19925 Abstract Rodents constitute one of the most diversified mammalian orders. Due to the morphological similarity in many of the groups, their taxonomy is controversial. Karyotype information proved to be an important tool for distinguishing some species because some of them are species-specific. Additionally, rodents can be an excellent model for chromosome evolution studies since many rearrangements have been described in this group.This work brings a review of cytogenetic data of Brazilian rodents, with information about diploid and fundamental numbers, polymorphisms, and geographical distribution. -
The Pattern of Color Change in Small Mammal
Sandoval Salinas et al. BMC Res Notes (2018) 11:424 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3544-x BMC Research Notes RESEARCH NOTE Open Access The pattern of color change in small mammal museum specimens: is it independent of storage histories given museum‑specifc conditions? María Leonor Sandoval Salinas1,2*, José D. Sandoval1,3, Elisa M. Colombo1,3 and Rubén M. Barquez2 Abstract Objective: Determination of color and evaluating its variation form the basis for a broad range of research questions. For studies on taxonomy, systematics, etc., resorting to mammal specimens in museum collections has a number of advantages over using feld specimens. However, if museum specimens are to be for studying color, they should accurately represent the color of live animals, or we should understand how they difer. Basically, this study addresses this question: How does coat color vary when dealing with specimens of Akodon budini (Budin’s grass mouse, Thomas 1918), stored in one museum collection for diferent periods of time? Results: We measured color values through a spectroradiometer and a difuse illumination cabin and used the refectance values in the form of CIELab tri-stimulus values, considering CIE standard illuminant A. We observed that there is a relationship between specimen storage antiquity and pelage color and it seems that it is general for at least a number of small mammals and this could indicate a universal phenomenon across several mammal species and across several storage conditions. Our results, as others, emphasize the importance of considering storage time, among other circumstances, in research studies using mammal skins and where color is of importance. -
Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) in São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil: a Locally Extinct Species?
Volume 55(4):69‑80, 2015 THE PRESENCE OF WILFREDOMYS OENAX (RODENTIA: CRICETIDAE: SIGMODONTINAE) IN SÃO PAULO STATE, SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL: A LOCALLY EXTINCT SPECIES? MARCUS VINÍCIUS BRANDÃO¹ ABSTRACT The Rufous-nosed Mouse Wilfredomys oenax is a rare Sigmodontinae rodent known from scarce records from northern Uruguay and south and southeastern Brazil. This species is under- represented in scientific collections and is currently classified as threathened, being considered extinct at Curitiba, Paraná, the only confirmed locality of the species at southeastern Brazil. Although specimens from São Paulo were already reported, the presence of this species in this state seems to have passed unnoticed in recent literature. Through detailed morphological ana- lyzes of specimens cited in literature, the present work confirms and discusses the presence of this species in São Paulo state from a specimen collected more than 70 years ago. Recently, by the use of modern sampling methods, other rare Sigmodontinae rodents, such as Abrawayomys ruschii, Phaenomys ferrugineous and Rhagomys rufescens, have been recorded to São Paulo state. However, no specimen of Wilfredomys oenax has been recently reported indicating that this species might be locally extinct. The record mentioned here adds another species to the state of São Paulo mammal diversity and reinforces the urgency of studying Wilfredomys oenax.

Predation of Livestock by Puma (Puma Concolor) and Culpeo Fox (Lycalopex Culpaeus): Numeric and Economic Perspectives Giovana Gallardo, Luis F
www.mastozoologiamexicana.org La Portada La rata chinchilla boliviana (Abrocoma boliviensis) es una de las especies de mamíferos más amenazadas del mundo. Esta foto, resultado de varios años de trabajo de campo, muestra un individuo, posiblemente hembra, siendo presa de un gato de Geoffroy. A. boliviensis fue descrita por William Glanz y Sydney Anderson en 1990, sin embargo, hasta el momento, la información científica sobre la especie es virtualmente inexistente. En este número de THERYA, con artículos dedicados a la memoria del Dr. Sydney Anderson, se presenta un trabajo dedicado a la ecología de A. boliviensis que muestra que todavía hay poblaciones de la especie, al parecer más o menos saludables, en el centro de Bolivia (fotografía: Carmen Julia Quiroga). 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.
