HOOPER AND BARBARA S. HART ANN ARBOR MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN JUNE 26, 1962 MISCELLANEOUS PUEEEICATPONS MUSEUhZ OF ZOOLOGY, UNPVEIiSITY OF MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two serics-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series werc founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcornb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, scrve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a s~iificientnumber of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index arc supplied lo libraries and indi- viduals on the mailing list for the serics. The Miscellaneous Publications, which includc papers on field and museum tcch- niclucs, monographic studies, ancl other contributions not within the scope of thc Occasional Papers, arc publishetl separately. It is not intended that they bc grouped into volumes. Each number has a title pagc and, when necessary, a tablc of conlcnts. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insccts, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available. Address inquiries to the Director, Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

As a result of their efforts there is a sizable body of iulor~iiationregarding Old World microtine glandes and their usefulness in classification. There are no conlparable data on North Ainerican iilicl-0- tines although there are several studies of the structural core of the glans which indicate that the baculum provides useful clues to affinities ol micro- tine species. The inost important of these studies are by Hamilton (1946), Dearden (1958), and Anderson (1960). Described here are glandes of 33 species of microtines, 25 of them North A~uericanand eight of the Old World. Most of the North American species are represented, and our study is focused on them, but also it necessarily was extended to some Old World species. In addition to describing and comparing the glandes, we have attempted to couple those data with infor- nlation derived from skins and skulls and thereby to form an opinion as to classification of New World microtines. As here understood the sub- I'anlily Microtinae is as defined by Hinton (1926) and Simpson (1945). RlATERIALS AND METHODS The glandes which were measured and sketched and served as the prime source of new basic data are listed below (New World species ar- ranged in systematic order following Hall and Kelson, 1959, and Old World species listed alphabetically by genus). Other specimens, which were incom- plete or poorly preserved or which were used as supplementary material, are excluded here but are mentioned in the text. No~.r.rrAMLRICA.

Golenishchev & Vladimir G. Malikov ABSTRACT. According to the recent data on molecular genetics and comparative genomics of the grey voles of the tribe Microtini it is supposed, that their Nearctic and Palearctic groups had independently originated from different lineages of the extinct genus Mimomys. Nevertheless, that tribe is considered as a natural taxon. The American narrow-skulled voles are referred to a new taxon, Vocalomys subgen. nov.

Cooler and drier climates that prevailed in the Late Miocene led to expansion of grasslands and retreat of forests at a global scale.

This study reports for the first time the banding pattern on chromosomes of the Tatra vole, Microtus tatricus, as revealed by G-, C-, and Ag-NOR staining procedures. The banded karyotype of M. tatricus was compared with Microtus (Terricola) subterraneus, M. (Stenocranius) gregalis, and M. (Blanfordimys) aghanus. The karyotype of M. tatricus possesses highly derived features, e.g., the low diploid number of chromosomes or unique combinations of arms in the biarmed autosomes. It is almost impossible to find clear relationships of M. tatricus with other extant vole species from the point of view of comparative karyology. The karyotypic changes in voles are apparently not accompanied by adequate divergence in morphological and genetic traits. Key words: chromosomes, banding pattern, phylogeny, M. subterraneus, M. gregalis, M. afghanus Introduction The Tatra vole, Microtus tatricus (Kratochvíl, 1952) is the only mammalian species endemic to the Carpathian Mountains.

  • Early Middle Pleistocene Ellobius (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Arvicolinae) from Armenia Cлепушонка Ellobius (Rodentia, Crice
    Russian J. Theriol. 15(2): 151–158 © RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF THERIOLOGY, 2016 Early Middle Pleistocene Ellobius (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Arvicolinae) from Armenia Alexey S. Tesakov ABSTRACT. A large mole vole from the early Middle Pleistocene of Armenia shows morphological features and hyposodonty intermediate between basal Early Pleistocene E. tarchancutensis and the late Middle Pleistocene to Recent southern mole vole E. lutescens. The occlusal morphology of the first lower molar is similar to Early Pleistocene forms but hypsodonty values do not overlap either with Early Pleistocene mole voles (higher in the described form) or with extant E. lutescens (lower in the described form); these features characterise the Armenian form as a new chronospecies Ellobius (Bramus) pomeli sp.n., ancestral to the extant southern mole vole. Three phyletic lineages leading to two extant Asian species and to Pleistocene North African group of mole voles are suggested within Ellobius (Bramus).

Cлепушонка Ellobius (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Arvicolinae) начала среднего плейстоцена Армении А.С.Тесаков РЕЗЮМЕ. Ископаемая крупная слепушонка из отложений начала среднего плейстоцена Армении по морфологии и гипсодонтии занимает промежуточное положение между раннеплейстоценовыми E. tarchancutensis и современной закавказской слепушонкой E. lutescens. По строению жевательной поверхности арямянская форма близка к раннеплейстоценовым слепушонкам, а значения гипсодон- тии у этой формы занимают промежуточное положение и не перекрываются ни с формами раннего плейстоцена (выше у описываемой формы), ни с современной E. lutescens (ниже у армянской формы). Эти признаки характеризуют новый хроновид Ellobius (Bramus) pomeli sp.n., предковый по отношению к современной E.

Here, we report the identification of sequences derived from amdoparvoviruses 18 in the genome of a rodent - the Transcaucasian mole vole (Ellobius lutescens). We recovered 19 the putative ancestral coding sequences of these endogenous viral elements, and showed that 20 they group robustly with exogenous amdoviruses in phylogenetic trees. We identified the 21 corresponding empty genomic integration sites in the genome of a sister species - the northern 22 mole vole (Ellobius talpinus) - indicating that both elements were integrated into the Ellobius 23 lutescens germline within the last 10 million years.

  • Transmission Ecosystems of Echinococcus Multilocularis in China and Central Asia
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Transmission ecosystems of Echinococcus multilocularis in China and Central Asia Giraudoux, Patrick ; Raoul, Francis ; Afonso, Eve ; Ziadinov, Iskender ; Yang, Yurong ; Li, Li ; Li, T ; Quéré, Jean-Pierre ; Feng, Xiaohui ; Wang, Qian ; Wen, Hao ; Ito, Akira ; Craig, Philip S Abstract: From continental to regional scales, the zoonosis alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (caused by Echinococcus multilocularis) forms discrete patches of endemicity within which transmission hotspots of much larger prevalence may occur. Since the late 80s, a number of hotspots have been identified in continental Asia, mostly in China, wherein the ecology of intermediate host communities has been described. This is the case in south Gansu, at the eastern border of the Tibetan plateau, in south Ningxia, in the western Tian Shan of Xinjiang, and in the Alay valley of south Kyrgyzstan. Here we present a comparative natural history and characteristics of transmission ecosystems or ecoscapes. On this basis, regional types of transmission and their ecological characteristics have been proposed in a general framework. Combining climatic, land cover and intermediate host species distribution data, we identified and mapped 4 spatially distinct types of transmission ecosystems typified by the presenceofone of the following small mammal ‘flagship’ species: Ellobius tancrei, Ochotona curzoniae, Lasiopodomys brandtii or Eospalax fontanierii. Each transmission
