  • The Adapted Ears of Big Cats and Golden Moles: Exotic Outcomes of the Evolutionary Radiation of Mammals
    FEATURED ARTICLE The Adapted Ears of Big Cats and Golden Moles: Exotic Outcomes of the Evolutionary Radiation of Mammals Edward J. Walsh and JoAnn McGee Through the process of natural selection, diverse organs and organ systems abound throughout the animal kingdom. In light of such abundant and assorted diversity, evolutionary adaptations have spawned a host of peculiar physiologies. The anatomical oddities that underlie these physiologies and behaviors are the telltale indicators of trait specialization. Following from this, the purpose of this article is to consider a number of auditory “inventions” brought about through natural selection in two phylogenetically distinct groups of mammals, the largely fossorial golden moles (Order Afrosoricida, Family Chrysochloridae) and the carnivorous felids of the genus Panthera along with its taxonomic neigh- bor, the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). In the Beginning The first vertebrate land invasion occurred during the Early Carboniferous period some 370 million years ago. The primitive but essential scaffolding of what would become the middle and inner ears of mammals was present at this time, although the evolution of the osseous (bony) middle ear system and the optimization of cochlear fea- tures and function would play out over the following 100 million years. Through natural selection, the evolution of the middle ear system, composed of three small articu- lated bones, the malleus, incus, and stapes, and a highly structured and coiled inner ear, came to represent all marsupial and placental (therian) mammals on the planet Figure 1. Schematics of the outer, middle, and inner ears (A) and thus far studied. The consequences of this evolution were the organ of Corti in cross section (B) of a placental mammal.

Bronner, Elizabeth Jones and D. J. Coetzer Department of Mammals, Transvaal Museum, and Department of Anatomy, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa Receipt of Ms. 14. 4. 1988 Abstract Studied the general structure, topography and possible functions of the hyoid region in nine golden mole species. Unusual in-situ articulations between the enlarged stylohyal bones, and the dentaries, were found in all specimens examined. Osteological evidence suggests that hyoid-dentary articulation is an unique anatomical feature characteristic of all chrysochlorids. Its apparent functions are to enhance manipulatory action of, and support for, the tongue during prey handling and mastication, but this remains to be confirmed. Introduction Hyoid-mandible articulations occur in some osteichthyian fishes (de Beer 1937; Hilde- brand 1974), but have never been recorded in higher vertebrates. Improved museum preservation techniques recently enabled us to detect conspicuous articulation between the large stylohyal bone and the dentary in the Hottentot golden mole Amblysomus hotten- totus (A. Smith, 1829). Further investigation revealed that hyoid-dentary articulation (Fig. 1) in situ is an unique characteristic of all chrysochlorids.

  • Suncus Lixus – Greater Dwarf Shrew
    Suncus lixus – Greater Dwarf Shrew transformed landscapes. It occurs in a number of protected areas and can be locally common in suitable habitat, such as riverine woodland, sandveld and moist grasslands. There is no evidence to suggest a net population decline. However, we caution that molecular data, coupled with further field surveys to delimit Photograph distribution more accurately, are needed to determine whether the highveld grassland and subtropical wanted grasslands subpopulations comprise separate species. If so, both species will need to be reassessed as high rates of grassland habitat loss in both regions may qualify one or both species for a threatened status. Key interventions include protected area expansion of moist grassland and riverine woodland habitats, as well as providing incentives for landowners to sustain natural Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern* vegetation around wetlands and keep livestock or wildlife at ecological carrying capacity. National Red List status (2004) Data Deficient Regional population effects: There is a disjunct Reasons for change Non-genuine change: distribution between populations in the assessment region Change in risk and the rest of its range. This species is also a poor tolerance disperser. Thus there is not suspected to be a significant Global Red List status (2008) Least Concern rescue effect.

H. Kotzé Email: [email protected] Physical address: F 208 FISAN Building, Tygerberg Campus, Fransie van Zijl Drive Parow Abstract Jaculus jaculus (Lesser Egyptian jerboa) and Paraechinus aethiopicus (Desert hedgehog) are small mammals which thrive in desert conditions and are found, amongst others, in the Arabian Peninsula. J. jaculus is omnivorous while P. aethiopicus is described as being insectivorous. The study aims to describe the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) morphology of these animals which differ in diet and phylogeny. The GITs of J. Pereira 2 jaculus (n=8) and P. aethiopicus (n=7) were weighed, photographed, and the length, basal surface areas and luminal surface areas of each of the anatomically distinct gastrointestinal segments were determined. The internal aspects of each area were examined and photographed while representative histological sections of each area were processed to wax and stained using haematoxylin and eosin. Both species had a simple unilocular stomach which was confirmed as wholly glandular on histology sections. P. aethiopicus had a relatively simple GIT which lacked a caecum. The caecum of J.

  • Miombo Ecoregion Vision Report
    MIOMBO ECOREGION VISION REPORT Jonathan Timberlake & Emmanuel Chidumayo December 2001 (published 2011) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 20 WWF - SARPO MIOMBO ECOREGION VISION REPORT 2001 (revised August 2011) by Jonathan Timberlake & Emmanuel Chidumayo Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 20 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe PREFACE The Miombo Ecoregion Vision Report was commissioned in 2001 by the Southern Africa Regional Programme Office of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF SARPO). It represented the culmination of an ecoregion reconnaissance process led by Bruce Byers (see Byers 2001a, 2001b), followed by an ecoregion-scale mapping process of taxa and areas of interest or importance for various ecological and bio-physical parameters. The report was then used as a basis for more detailed discussions during a series of national workshops held across the region in the early part of 2002. The main purpose of the reconnaissance and visioning process was to initially outline the bio-physical extent and properties of the so-called Miombo Ecoregion (in practice, a collection of smaller previously described ecoregions), to identify the main areas of potential conservation interest and to identify appropriate activities and areas for conservation action. The outline and some features of the Miombo Ecoregion (later termed the Miombo– Mopane Ecoregion by Conservation International, or the Miombo–Mopane Woodlands and Grasslands) are often mentioned (e.g. Burgess et al. 2004). However, apart from two booklets (WWF SARPO 2001, 2003), few details or justifications are publically available, although a modified outline can be found in Frost, Timberlake & Chidumayo (2002). Over the years numerous requests have been made to use and refer to the original document and maps, which had only very restricted distribution.

We aimed to examine torpor patterns in the free-ranging western pygmy-possum (Cercartetus concinnus), a small marsupial found in cool Correspondence temperate and semi-arid habitat in southern Australia and known to express James M.

Temperature telemetry revealed that during Department of Biology and Centre for two consecutive winters four out of seven animals in a habitat with Mediterranean Forestry Interdisciplinary Research, climate used both short (<24 h in duration) and prolonged (>24 h) torpor bouts University of Winnipeg, Winnipeg, (duration 6.4 Ϯ 5.4 h and 89.7 Ϯ 45.9 h, respectively). Torpor patterns were highly MB, Canada R3B 2G3. flexible among individuals, but low ambient temperatures facilitated torpor.
