A sexually dimorphic ungulate of large stature and unique coloration, it is the only species in the genus Boselaphus. It is endemic to peninsular India and small parts of Pakistan and Nepal, has been extirpated from Bangladesh, and has been introduced in the United States (Texas), Mexico, South Africa, and Italy. It prefers open grassland and savannas and locally is a significant agricultural pest in India. It is not of special conservation concern and is well represented in zoos and private collections throughout the world. DOI: 10.1644/813.1.

When approved, the solar facility and related operations infrastructure will be built on approximately 1037 hectares (2562 acres) (Project site) of the 29,137-hectare (72,000-acre) Jack Ranch, which is a working cattle ranch. The overall development will include improvements to an existing access road and its connection to State Route 41 (access road/Hwy 41 improvement areas). Together, the Project site and access road/Hwy 41 improvement areas constitute the 1058-hectare (2615-acre) Project impact area (PIA), where all direct, Project-related impacts will occur. A biological study area (BSA) was delineated around the PIA, within which most Project-related biological surveys and assessments are being conducted. The Project site is located within a landscape dominated by gently rolling terrain and grasslands, interspersed with several, mostly ephemeral, riparian corridors and drainages. Numerous wildlife species are known to occur in the region, some of which have been identified as candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and/or U.S.

    Implications of Climate Change for Food-Caching Species

    Demographic and Environmental Drivers of Canada Jay Population Dynamics in Algonquin Provincial Park, ON by Alex Odenbach Sutton A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Alex O. Sutton, April 2020 ABSTRACT Demographic and Environmental Drivers of Canada Jay Population Dynamics in Algonquin Provincial Park, ON Alex Sutton Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 Ryan Norris Knowledge of the demographic and environmental drivers of population growth throughout the annual cycle is essential to understand ongoing population change and forecast future population trends. Resident species have developed a suite of behavioural and physiological adaptations that allow them to persist in seasonal environments. Food-caching is one widespread behavioural mechanism that involves the deferred consumption of a food item and special handling to conserve it for future use. However, once a food item is stored, it can be exposed to environmental conditions that can either degrade or preserve its quality. In this thesis, I combine a novel framework that identifies relevant environmental conditions that could cause cached food to degrade over time with detailed long-term demographic data collected for a food-caching passerine, the Canada jay (Perisoreus canadensis), in Algonquin Provincial Park, ON. In my first chapter, I develop a framework proposing that the degree of a caching species’ susceptibility to climate change depends primarily on the duration of storage and the perishability of food stored. I then summarize information from the field of food science to identify relevant climatic variables that could cause cached food to degrade.

  • Evaluation of 3 Milk Replacers for Hand-Rearing Indian Nilgai (Boselaphus Tragocamelus)

    Evaluation of 3 Milk Replacers for Hand-Rearing Indian Nilgai (Boselaphus Tragocamelus)

    Evaluation of 3 Milk Replacers for Hand-Rearing Indian Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) Catherine D. Burch, M. Diehl, and M.S Edwards Zoological Society of San Diego, San Diego Wild Animal Park, San Diego, California Hoofstock neonates are often hand-raised for multiple reasons. Feeding maternal milk is optimal, but is rarely available for hand-rearing. Therefore, suitable substitutes must be identified. Published nutrient composition of maternal milk is frequently used as a guide. In many instances, however, no information is available regarding the milk composition of a particular species. Nilgai have been successfully raised at the Wild Animal Park using several formulas. It has yet to be determined which formula(s) produce the best response. Eight nilgai (3 females, 5 males) were received for hand-rearing and were randomly assigned 1 of the following 3 formulas for a blind study: evaporated cows (EC) :nonfat cows (NFC) 2: 1, EC: Milk Matrix 30/55®:water 10: 3: 12, or EC:SPF-Iac® 2: 1. EC: NFC 2: 1, which has been used for several seasons, was designated as the control. The composition of EC:30/55:H2O 10:3: 12 is comparable to the published composition of eland milk, a species taxonomically related to nilgai. EC:SPF-Iac® 2: 1 has lipid and carbohydrate composition intermediate to the other formulas. Response parameters monitored include weight gain, stool consistency, feeding response, and overall body condition. Based on the results, Indian nilgai can be hand-reared successfully on any of the 3 milk replacers. Of the 3, however, the group fed EC:NFC 2: 1 were the heaviest at weaning and the most vigorous throughout the hand-rearing process.

    Additions to Mammals Killed by Motor Vehicles on Vía Del Escobero, Envigado

    Revista EIA, ISSN 1794-1237 / Year XI / Volume 11 / Issue N.22 / July-December 2014 / pp. 137-142 Technical-scientific biannual publication / Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia —EIA—, Envigado (Colombia) ADDITIONS TO MAMMALS KILLED BY MOTOR VEHICLES ON VÍA DEL ESCOBERO, ENVIGADO CARLOS A. DELGADO-V. 1 ABSTRACT Vertebrate road kills are a generalized problem around the world, but they are scarcely documented on Colombian highways, especially in peri-urban areas. This study describes the highway mortality of mammals in a six year-period (2008-2013) on Vía del Escobero (Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia). Mammal groups that presented the highest mortality rates were marsupials (54.3%), carnivores (25.7%), and rodents (17.5%). Although there was a lower diversity and fewer individual fatalities than in previous years for the same highway, this study reports a greater number of fatalities for some endangered and unknown species such as Leopardus tigrinus, Puma yag- ouaroundi, and Bassaricyon neblina. This study also added three new species to the road kill list on this highway.
