  • Arabian Tahr in Oman Paul Munton
    Arabian Tahr in Oman Paul Munton Arabian tahr are confined to Oman, with a population of under 2000. Unlike other tahr species, which depend on grass, Arabian tahr require also fruits, seeds and young shoots. The areas where these can be found in this arid country are on certain north-facing mountain slopes with a higher rainfall, and it is there that reserves to protect this tahr must be made. The author spent two years in Oman studying the tahr. The Arabian tahr Hemitragus jayakari today survives only in the mountains of northern Oman. A goat-like animal, it is one of only three surviving species of a once widespread genus; the other two are the Himalayan and Nilgiri tahrs, H. jemlahicus and H. hylocrius. In recent years the government of the Sultanate of Oman has shown great interest in the country's wildlife, and much conservation work has been done. From April 1976 to April 1978 I was engaged jointly by the Government, WWF and IUCN on a field study of the tahr's ecology, and in January 1979 made recommendations for its conservation, which were presented to the Government. Arabian tahr differ from the other tahrs in that they feed selectively on fruits, seeds and young shoots as well as grass. Their optimum habitat is found on the north-facing slopes of the higher mountain ranges of northern Oman, where they use all altitudes between sea level and 2000 metres. But they prefer the zone between 1000 and 1800m where the vegetation is especially diverse, due to the special climate of these north-facing slopes, with their higher rainfall, cooler temperatures, and greater shelter from the sun than in the drought conditions that are otherwise typical of this arid zone.

"He started developing the island into a nature reserve and the idea back then was to create an Arabian Ark for his people," said Marius Prinsloo, general manager of operations at the island. "We have been successful," he said of the conservation efforts. 'Great results' Sir Bani Yas is now home to about 500 Arabian Oryx—one of the world's largest herds. A falcon takes off on Sir Bani Yas Island, one of the Sameer Ghani, an independent conservation largest natural islands in the UAE specialist, said the reserve's Arabian Oryx breeding programme was showing "great results" after the animal "went extinct in the wild in the early 1970s".

Since animals were first brought to Sir Bani Yas off the coast of Abu Dhabi more than four decades ago, their total population has soared to more than 13,000. Twenty-five species of mammals and 170 types of birds are found in a nature reserve covering an area of 1,400 hectares (3,500 acres). They include striped hyenas, caracals—also known as the desert lynx—and the Arabian tahr, a small goat-like mammal indigenous to the Hajar Mountains between the UAE and Oman.

    Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India by Stephen Sumithran Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences APPROVED James D. Fraser, Chairman Robert H. Giles, Jr. Patrick F. Scanlon Dean F. Stauffer Randolph H. Wynne Brian R. Murphy, Department Head July 1997 Blacksburg, Virginia Status and Ecology of the Nilgiri Tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, South India by Stephen Sumithran James D. Fraser, Chairman Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences (ABSTRACT) The Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius) is an endangered mountain ungulate endemic to the Western Ghats in South India. I studied the status and ecology of the Nilgiri tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, from January 1993 to December 1995. To determine the status of this tahr population, I conducted foot surveys, total counts, and a three-day census and estimated that this population contained about 150 tahr. Tahr were more numerous in the north sector than the south sector of the park. Age-specific mortality rates in this population were higher than in other tahr populations. I conducted deterministic computer simulations to determine the persistence of this population. I estimated that under current conditions, this population will persist for 22 years. When the adult mortality was reduced from 0.40 to 0.17, the modeled population persisted for more than 200 years. Tahr used grasslands that were close to cliffs (p <0.0001), far from roads (p <0.0001), far from shola forests (p <0.01), and far from commercial forestry plantations (p <0.001).

Revisiting biogeography of livestock animal domestication Indrė Žliobaitė University of Helsinki, Finland [email protected] Written: December, 2017 Last revised: September, 2019 Abstract Human society relies on four main livestock animals – sheep, goat, pig and cattle, which all were domesticated at nearly the same time and place. Many arguments have been put forward to explain why these animals, place and time were suitable for domestication, but the question – why only these, but not other animals, still does not have a clear answer. Here we offer a biogeographical perspective: we survey global occurrence of large mammalian herbivore genera around 15 000 – 5 000 years before present and compile a dataset characterising their ecology, habitats and dental traits. Using predictive modelling we extract patterns from this data to highlight ecological differences between domesticated and non- domesticated genera. The most suitable for domestication appear to be generalists adapted to persistence in marginal environments of low productivity, largely corresponding to cold semi-arid climate zones. Our biogeographic analysis shows that even though domestication rates varied across continents, potentially suitable candidate animals were rather uniformly distributed across continents. We interpret this pattern as a result of an interface between cold semi-arid and hot semi-arid climatic zones. We argue that hot Semi-arid climate was most suitable for plant domestication, cold Semi-arid climate selected for animals most suitable for domestication as livestock.

  • First Evaluation of the Population Structure, Genetic Diversity and Landscape Connectivity of the Endangered Arabian Tahr
    Mammalian Biology (2020) 100:659–673 https://doi.org/10.1007/s42991-020-00072-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE First evaluation of the population structure, genetic diversity and landscape connectivity of the Endangered Arabian tahr Steven Ross1 · Jean‑Marc Costanzi2 · Mansoor Al Jahdhami1 · Haitham Al Rawahi1 · Muhammad Ghazali2 · Helen Senn2 Received: 26 February 2020 / Accepted: 21 September 2020 / Published online: 13 October 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The Arabian tahr (Arabitragus jayakari) occurs only in the mountains of northern Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The species is classifed as Endangered due to its small declining population. In this study, we combined genetic and landscape ecology techniques in order to inform landscape scale conservation and genetic management of Arabian tahr. Using 540 base pairs of mitochondrial control region in a dataset of 53 samples, we found eight haplotypes, which fell into two haplogroups. Population genetic analysis using a panel of 14 microsatellite loci also showed a weak, but signifcant division. Analyses of landscape connectivity supported the genetic results showing poor connectivity between populations in the far south of the study area and those in the north. The most likely location of corridors connecting Arabian tahr populations were identifed. Many corridors between tahr populations are impeded by multi-lane highways and restoration of these connections is required to maintain population viability of Arabian tahr. Owing to limited genetic samples outside of Wadi Sareen, further sampling is needed to elucidate both mtDNA and the nuclear structure of Arabian tahr more fully. Our study provides a toolkit that may be used for future genetic and connectivity monitoring of the Arabian tahr population.

  • New World Goat Populations Are a Genetically Diverse Reservoir For
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN New world goat populations are a genetically diverse reservoir for future use Received: 20 July 2018 Tiago do Prado Paim 1,2, Danielle Assis Faria1, El Hamidi Hay3, Concepta McManus1, Accepted: 30 October 2018 Maria Rosa Lanari4, Laura Chaverri Esquivel5, María Isabel Cascante5, Esteban Jimenez Alfaro5, Published: xx xx xxxx Argerie Mendez6, Olivardo Faco7, Kleibe de Moraes Silva7, Carlos Alberto Mezzadra8, Arthur Mariante9, Samuel Rezende Paiva9 & Harvey D. Blackburn10 Western hemisphere goats have European, African and Central Asian origins, and some local or rare breeds are reported to be adapted to their environments and economically important. By-in-large these genetic resources have not been quantifed. Using 50 K SNP genotypes of 244 animals from 12 goat populations in United States, Costa Rica, Brazil and Argentina, we evaluated the genetic diversity, population structure and selective sweeps documenting goat migration to the “New World”. Our fndings suggest the concept of breed, particularly among “locally adapted” breeds, is not a meaningful way to characterize goat populations. The USA Spanish goats were found to be an important genetic reservoir, sharing genomic composition with the wild ancestor and with specialized breeds (e.g. Angora, Lamancha and Saanen). Results suggest goats in the Americas have substantial genetic diversity to use in selection and promote environmental adaptation or product driven specialization. These fndings highlight the importance of maintaining goat conservation programs and suggest an awaiting reservoir of genetic diversity for breeding and research while simultaneously discarding concerns about breed designations. Unlike other livestock species, goats are unique in terms of their function and environments where they are uti- lized.
