If you have, then you might think Hthat being called a weasel is bad. But weasels are good hunters, and they are cunning, curious, strong, and fierce. Weasels and their relatives are mammals. They belong to the order Carnivora (meat eaters) and the family Mustelidae, also known as the weasel family or mustelids. Mustela means weasel in Latin. With 65 species, mustelids are the largest family of carnivores in the world. Eight mustelid species currently make their homes in Minnesota: short-tailed weasel, long-tailed weasel, least weasel, mink, American marten, OTTERS BY DANIEL J.

  • Weasel, Short-Tailed
    Short-tailed Weasel Mustela ermine Other common names Ermine, stoat Introduction The short-tailed weasel is one of the smaller members of the weasel family. In winter, their coat turns pure white to help them blend into their surroundings. This white pelt has been prized by the fur trade for hundreds of years, and it was even considered a symbol of royalty in Europe. Physical Description and Anatomy Short-tailed weasels change their fur according to the season. From December to March or April their coat is pure white and the tip of the tail is black. This allows them to blend into their snowy surroundings. Only the white individuals, as well as their pelts, are referred to as ermine. In warmer seasons, the upper part of the body is brown, and the lower parts are cream colored, while the tip of the tail remains black. The change in coat is triggered by day length as well as ambient temperature. Like other members of the weasel family, short-tailed weasels have a long, slender body and short legs. Adults are 7 – 13 inches (17.8 – 33.0 cm) long, and only weigh 1 – 4 ounces (28.4 – 113.4 g). The tail is less than 44% of the length of the head and body, giving this species its name. Short-tailed weasel pelt. Identifying features (tracks, scat, calls) Short-tailed weasels are easily confused with long-tailed weasels, as they have very similar proportions and coloration. The most reliable way to differentiate between the two species is to measure the length of the tail.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • Molecular Phylogeny and Taxonomy of the Genus Mustela
    Mammal Study 33: 25–33 (2008) © the Mammalogical Society of Japan Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Mustela (Mustelidae, Carnivora), inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences: New perspectives on phylogenetic status of the back-striped weasel and American mink Naoko Kurose1, Alexei V. Abramov2 and Ryuichi Masuda3,* 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Kanagawa University, Kanagawa 259-1293, Japan 2 Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint-Petersburg 199034, Russia 3 Creative Research Initiative “Sousei”, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan Abstract. To further understand the phylogenetic relationships among the mustelid genus Mustela, we newly determined nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene from 11 Eurasian species of Mustela, including the domestic ferret and the American mink. Phylogenetic relationships inferred from the 12S rRNA sequences were similar to those based on previously reported mitochondrial cytochrome b data. Combined analyses of the two genes demonstrated that species of Mustela were divided into two primary clades, named “the small weasel group” and “the large weasel group”, and others. The Japanese weasel (Mustela itatsi) formerly classified as a subspecies of the Siberian weasel (M. sibirica), was genetically well-differentiated from M. sibirica, and the two species clustered with each other. The European mink (M. lutreola) was closely related to “the ferret group” (M. furo, M. putorius, and M. eversmanii). Both the American mink of North America and the back-striped weasel (M. strigidorsa) of Southeast Asia were more closely related to each other than to other species of Mustela, indicating that M. strigidorsa originated from an independent lineage that differs from other Eurasian weasels.

    United States The Scientific Basis for Conserving Forest Carnivores Department of Agriculture Forest Service American Marten, Fisher, Lynx, Rocky Mountain and Wolverine Forest and Range Experiment Station in the Western United States Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 General Technical Report RM-254 Abstract Ruggiero, Leonard F.; Aubry, Keith B.; Buskirk, Steven W.; Lyon, L. Jack; Zielinski, William J., tech. eds. 1994. The Scientific Basis for Conserving Forest Carnivores: American Marten, Fisher, Lynx and Wolverine in the Western United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RM-254. Ft. Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station. 184 p. This cooperative effort by USDA Forest Service Research and the National Forest System assesses the state of knowledge related to the conservation status of four forest carnivores in the western United States: American marten, fisher, lynx, and wolverine. The conservation assessment reviews the biology and ecology of these species. It also discusses management considerations stemming from what is known and identifies information needed. Overall, we found huge knowledge gaps that make it difficult to evaluate the species’ conservation status. In the western United States, the forest carnivores in this assessment are limited to boreal forest ecosystems. These forests are characterized by extensive landscapes with a component of structurally complex, mesic coniferous stands that are characteristic of late stages of forest development. The center of the distrbution of this forest type, and of forest carnivores, is the vast boreal forest of Canada and Alaska. In the western conterminous 48 states, the distribution of boreal forest is less continuous and more isolated so that forest carnivores and their habitats are more fragmented at the southern limits of their ranges.

  • Best Management Practices for the New England Cottontail - New York
    Best Management Practices For the New England Cottontail New York Specific challenges Invasive shrubs Heathlands Canopy Retention Eastern cottontails Statement of Purpose Populations of species residing at the edge of their range are exposed to novel environments and stressors that may affect their response to management. The impacts of eastern cottontails and the prevalence of invasive shrubs have been recognized as factors limiting New England cottontail populations at the edge of their range in New York State. Here, canopy closure, heathlands, and invasive shrubs may also play a large role in providing habitat and mitigating the negative impacts of competition with the eastern cottontail. This document is meant to serve as a technical guide for managers working to restore or create New England cottontail habitat in the face of these challenges. Recent work suggests current management practices may be ineffective or even harmful when the impacts of invasive shrubs and eastern cottontails are not considered in forest management decision- making. These guidelines provide background information and updated recommendations derived from recent and ongoing research on New England cottontails for use in developing site specific forest management plans. While we use New York specific examples, many of these challenges we discuss, such as management of New England cottontails in the presence of eastern cottontails, are rapidly becoming a range-wide concern. The guidance outlined herein is adaptable to similar habitat in New England. Prepared by: Amanda Cheeseman PhD. and Jonathan Cohen PhD from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
