  • Homologies of the Anterior Teeth in Lndriidae and a Functional Basis for Dental Reduction in Primates
    Homologies of the Anterior Teeth in lndriidae and a Functional Basis for Dental Reduction in Primates PHILIP D. GINGERICH Museum of Paleontology, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 KEY WORDS Dental reduction a Lemuriform primates . Indriidae . Dental homologies - Dental scraper . Deciduous dentition - Avahi ABSTRACT In a recent paper Schwartz ('74) proposes revised homologies of the deciduous and permanent teeth in living lemuriform primates of the family Indriidae. However, new evidence provided by the deciduous dentition of Avahi suggests that the traditional interpretations are correct, specifically: (1) the lat- eral teeth in the dental scraper of Indriidae are homologous with the incisors of Lemuridae and Lorisidae, not the canines; (2) the dental formula for the lower deciduous teeth of indriids is 2.1.3; (3) the dental formula for the lower perma- nent teeth of indriids is 2.0.2.3;and (4)decrease in number of incisors during pri- mate evolution was usually in the sequence 13, then 12, then 11. It appears that dental reduction during primate evolution occurred at the ends of integrated in- cisor and cheek tooth units to minimize disruption of their functional integrity. Anterior dental reduction in the primate Schwartz ('74) recently reviewed the prob- family Indriidae illustrates a more general lem of tooth homologies in the dental scraper problem of direction of tooth loss in primate of Indriidae and concluded that no real evi- evolution. All living lemuroid and lorisoid pri- dence has ever been presented to support the mates (except the highly specialized Dauben- interpretation that indriids possess four lower tonid share a distinctive procumbent, comb- incisors and no canines.

Title: Reconstruction of phylogenetic history to resolve the subspecies anomaly of Pantherine cats Authors: Ranajit Das1, Priyanka Upadhyai2 1Manipal Centre for Natural Sciences, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka 576104, India 2Department of Medical Genetics, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka 576104, India Email address: [email protected] Running title: Mitogenome phylogeny of Pantherine cats Abstract All charismatic big cats including tiger (Panthera tigris), lion (Panthera leo), leopard (Panthera pardus), snow leopard (Panthera uncial), and jaguar (Panthera onca) are grouped into the subfamily Pantherinae. Several mitogenomic approaches have been employed to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the Pantherine cats but the phylogeny has remained largely unresolved till date. One of the major reasons for the difficulty in resolving the phylogenetic tree of Pantherine cats is the small sample size. While previous studies included only 5-10 samples, we have used 43 publically available taxa to reconstruct Pantherine phylogenetic history. Complete mtDNA sequences were used from all individuals excluding the control region (15,489bp). A Bayesian MCMC approach was employed to investigate the divergence times among different Pantherine clades. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogeny generated a dendrogram: Neofelis nebulosa (Panthera tigris (Panthera onca (Panthera uncia (Panthera leo, Panthera pardus)))), grouping lions with leopards and placing snow leopards as an outgroup to this clade.

  • Fascinating Primates 3/4/13 8:09 AM Ancient Egyptians Used Traits of an Ibis Or a Hamadryas Used Traits Egyptians Ancient ) to Represent Their God Thoth

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Fascinating Primates Fascinating The Beginning of an Adventure Ever since the time of the fi rst civilizations, nonhuman primates and people have oc- cupied overlapping habitats, and it is easy to imagine how important these fi rst contacts were for our ancestors’ philosophical refl ections. Long ago, adopting a quasi- scientifi c view, some people accordingly regarded pri- mates as transformed humans. Others, by contrast, respected them as distinct be- ings, seen either as bearers of sacred properties or, conversely, as diabolical creatures. A Rapid Tour around the World In Egypt under the pharaohs, science and religion were still incompletely separated. Priests saw the Papio hamadryas living around them as “brother baboons” guarding their temples. In fact, the Egyptian god Thoth was a complex deity combining qualities of monkeys and those of other wild animal species living in rice paddies next to temples, all able to sound the alarm if thieves were skulking nearby. At fi rst, baboons represented a local god in the Nile delta who guarded sacred sites. The associated cult then spread through middle Egypt. Even- tually, this god was assimilated by the Greeks into Hermes Trismegistus, the deity measuring and interpreting time, the messenger of the gods. One conse- quence of this deifi cation was that many animals were mummifi ed after death to honor them. Ancient Egyptians used traits of an ibis or a Hamadryas Baboon (Papio hamadryas) to represent their god Thoth.

  • 3.4 ORDER CARNIVORA Bowdich, 1821
    3.4 ORDER CARNIVORA Bowdich, 1821 3.4.1 Family Ursidae Fischer, 1817 There are eight species of bears in the world: - American Black Bear Ursus americanus - Brown Bear Ursus arctos - Polar Bear Ursus maritimus - Sloth Bear Melursus ursinus - Spectacled Bear Tremarctos ornatus - Giant Panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca - Asiatic Black Bear Ursus thibetanus - Malayan Sun Bear Helarctos malayanus The last two species are the only members of the family Ursidae known in Southeast Asia. They differ from each other by their furs and body sizes and both are threatened with extinction (Nowak, 1991; Corbet & Hill 1992). Bears have relatively undeveloped carnassial teeth; narrow premolars, crushing molars with flat crowns and large robust canines. 127 3.4.1.1 Subfamily Ursinae Fischer, 1817, Plate 3(A1 to B3) As mentioned above, two genera and two species represent the subfamily Ursinae in Southeast Asia, namely: - Malayan Sun Bear (Figure 3.8, A), Ursus/Helarctos malayanus (Raffles, 1821) with the scientific name Ursu and synonym Helarctos is distributed in the south west of China, Assam, Myanmar, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, to the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. It is the smallest of all bears found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. - Asiatic Black Bear (Figure 3.8, B), Ursus thibetanus Cuvier, 1823 is mainly localized in the Himalayas, Afghanistan to southern China, Myanmar, northern Thailand and Indochina. It has several alternative names including Asiatic Black Bear, Himalayan Black Bear, Moon Bear and inhabits mountain forests.

  • Late Pleistocene Panthera Leo Spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) Skeletons
    Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) skeletons from the Czech Republic (central Europe); their pathological cranial features and injuries resulting from intraspecific fights, conflicts with hyenas, and attacks on cave bears CAJUS G. DIEDRICH The world’s first mounted “skeletons” of the Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) from the Sloup Cave hyena and cave bear den in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic, central Europe) are compilations that have used bones from several different individuals. These skeletons are described and compared with the most complete known skeleton in Europe from a single individual, a lioness skeleton from the hyena den site at the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave in the Bohemian Karst (Czech Republic). Pathological features such as rib fractures and brain-case damage in these specimens, and also in other skulls from the Zoolithen Cave (Germany) that were used for comparison, are indicative of intraspecific fights, fights with Ice Age spotted hyenas, and possibly also of fights with cave bears. In contrast, other skulls from the Perick and Zoolithen caves in Germany and the Urșilor Cave in Romania exhibit post mortem damage in the form of bites and fractures probably caused either by hyena scavenging or by lion cannibalism. In the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave a young and brain-damaged lioness appears to have died (or possibly been killed by hyenas) within the hyena prey-storage den. In the cave bear dominated bone-rich Sloup and Zoolithen caves of central Europe it appears that lions may have actively hunted cave bears, mainly during their hibernation. Bears may have occasionally injured or even killed predating lions, but in contrast to hyenas, the bears were herbivorous and so did not feed on the lion car- casses.

  • Avahi Laniger)
    A. Zaramody et al.: Phylogeny of Eastern Woolly Lemurs MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY AND TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE EASTERN WOOLLY LEMURS (AVAHI LANIGER) Zaramody A, Fausser J-L, Roos C, Zinner D, Andriaholinirina N, Rabarivola C, Norscia I, Tattersall I and Rumpler Y Key words: Avahi, Strepsirrhini, taxonomy, mtDNA, cytogenetics, new species Abstract The western and northern populations of woolly lemurs (Avahi) have been di- vided into three distinct species (A. cleesei, A. occidentalis and A. unicolor), whereas the eastern populations are still considered to represent a single species (A. laniger), despite the wider distribution of woolly lemurs in this region. To analyze the diver- sity within the eastern population and among the eastern and western populations, we compared cytogenetic data and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from woolly lemurs from 14 sites in the east of Madagascar and from three sites in the west, representing three of the four recognized species. Cytogenetic and mtDNA data are in agreement and confirm the distinctiveness of A. laniger and A. occiden- talis. Within A. laniger the molecular data revealed large genetic distances among local populations. On the basis of these new data we propose to split A. laniger into three species: (1) north of the Mongoro/Onive Rivers, (2) south of the Mongoro/Onive Rivers at least as far south as Mahasoarivo, and (3) from the south-east (Manombo, Sainte Luce). Within the south-eastern species (3) two clearly separated subspecies can be distinguished, one from the region of Manombo and the other from the region of Sainte Luce. The northern species (1) shows considerable intraspecies genetic dis- tances and may consist of several populations distinguishable as subspecies.

  • Prey Preference and Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Snow Leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park
    Prey Preference and Dietary overlap of Sympatric Snow leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park Yonten Jamtsho Wangchuck Centennial National Park Department of Forest and Park Services Ministry of Agriculture and Forest 2017 Abstract Snow leopards have been reported to kill livestock in most parts of their range but the extent of this predation and its impact on local herders is poorly understood. There has been even no effort in looking at predator-prey relationships and often we make estimates of prey needs based on studies from neighboring regions. Therefore this study is aimed at analysing livestock depredation, diets of snow leopard and Tibetan wolf and its implication to herder’s livelihood in Choekhortoe and Dhur region of Wangchuck Cetennial National Park. Data on the livestock population, frequency of depredation, and income lost were collected from a total of 38 respondents following census techniques. In addition scats were analysed to determine diet composition and prey preferences. The results showed 38 herders rearing 2815 heads of stock with average herd size of 74.07 stocks with decreasing trend over the years due to depredation. As a result Choekhortoe lost 8.6% while Dhur lost 5.07% of total annual income. Dietary analysis showed overlap between two species indicated by Pianka index value of 0.83 for Dhur and 0.96 for Choekhortoe. The prey preference for snow leopard and Tibetan wolf are domestic sheep and blue sheep respectively, where domestic sheep is an income for herders and blue sheep is important for conservation of snow leopard.

  • Caspian Tiger Fact Sheet
    Caspian Tiger Fact Sheet Common Name: Caspian Tiger Scientific Name: Panthera tigris tigris Wild Status: Extinct Habitat: Wetlands Country: Various countries in Central Asia and the Middle East Shelter: Trees Life Span: Unknown Size: 10ft long Details The story of the Caspian Tiger is a familiar one. Human expansion and hunting drove the number of Caspian Tigers down to dangerous levels, with some paying generously for their furs. Individual sightings became special occasions. The last observed Caspian Tiger was seen in the 70s, with the species being declared extinct in 2003.
