  • Aggressive Interactions Among Male Cane Turtles Vijayachelys Silvatica (HENDERSON, 1912)
    All_Short_Notes_SHORT_NOTE.qxd 15.01.2013 15:21 Seite 9 SHORT NOTE HERPETOZOA 25 (3/4) Wien, 30. Jänner 2013 SHORT NOTE 159 Aggressive interactions among male cane Turtles Vijayachelys silvatica (HENDERSON, 1912) Vijayachelys silvatica (HENDERSON, 1912) is a monotypic chelonian endemic to the Western Ghats (MOll et al. 1986; PRA- ScHAG et al. 2006). it attains a maximum straight carapace length (Scl) of 170 mm (WHiTAkER & JAGANATHAN 2009) and is thus one of the smallest terrestrial geoemy- did turtles. The species is omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, molluscs, beetles and millipedes (MOll et al. 1986; DEEPAk et al. 2009; vASUDEvAN et al. 2010). Maxi - mum straight carapace length is not signifi- cantly different between males and females (WHiTAkER & JAGANATHAN 2009). How - ever, the species exhibits a sexual shell shape dimorphism, with females attaining bigger carapace width, shell height, plastron length and weight than males (WHiTAkER & JAGANATHAN 2009). in addition, the species is sexually dichromatic, with males showing different combinations of bright red, yellow, pink and black colors on the head, whereas females are clay to cinnamon rufous with or without a pink stripe on the head (MOll et al. 1986; DEE PAk & vASUDEvAN 2009). Mating in cochin Forest cane Turtles is reported to happen between June and November (APPUkUTTAN 1991; WHiTAkER & JAGANATHAN 2009). Aggressive interac- tion among male cane Turtles during this period is a known phenomenon (MOll et al. 1986), but the potential consequence to the inferior rival of losing the nuchal scute is reported here for the first time and allows for inferences on the size at sexual maturity.

    Conservation Status and Population Density of Himalayan Serow (Capricornis sumatraensis) in Annapurna Conservation Area of Nepal Achyut Aryal1 Abstract Himalayan Serow ‘Capricornis sumatraensis’ population is isolated in a small patch of the southern part of Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) with a population density of 1.17 individual/km2 and a population sex ratio of 1:1.6(Male: Female). A strong correlation was found between population (y) and pellets density (x) (y=0.011x-0.2619, R2-0.97). The major problems in the Serow habitat were habitat fragmentation & land use change, conflict between predator and villager, livestock grazing and poaching. The study was successful in providing information on the present status of Himalayan Serow in the ACA. cGgk'0f{ ;+/If0f If]qsf] blIf0fL efudf ;fgf] ´'08df ! .!& k|lt ju { ls=ld= hg3gTj / ! :! .^ (k'lnË::qLlnË) sf] cgkftdf' 5l§Psf' ] ;fgf ] o;sf ] hg;Vof+ PSnf?kdf] /xsf] ] 5 . hg;ªVof\ / jsfnfsf{} ] 3gTjlar 3lx/f ] ;DaGw /xsf] ] kfOof] . lxdfnog l;/f]sf] ;/+If0fsf d'Vo ;d:ofx?df jf;:yfg 6'lqmg' / hldgsf] k|of]udf abnfj, ufpFn] ljrsf] åGå, ufO{j:t' rl/r/0f / u}/sfg'gL lzsf/ x'g\ . lxdfnog l;/f] ;+/If0fsf nflu ;+/If0f lzIff, hgtfdf´ o;af/] r]tgf hufpg] sfo{qmd cfjZos b]lvPsf 5g\ . of] cWoogn] cGgk'0f{ If]qdf /xsf] lxdfnog l;/f]sf] cj:yfjf/] hfgsf/L lbg ;kmn ePsf] 5 .

  • Detroit Audubon Society Annual Program
    Spring 2009 www.detroitaudubon.org Volume 2009, Issue 2 Detroit Audubon Society Annual Program - March 28th The 2009 Annual Program will take place on Saturday, March 28th at the Southfield Parks and Recreation building in the Southfield Civic Center. This year’s program will feature a morning field trip to Carpenter Lake, live animals and lessons on animal life and nature photography. The day begins with a bird walk and tour of the new Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve. Mary Carlock, Southfield naturalist, will give an overview of the history and vision for the development and discuss what is planned for the future. At the Parks and Recreation Building, just in time for spring, Becky Johnson from the Detroit Zoo is going to present a program detailing the metamorphosis of amphibians. Then Beth Duman will show her collection of Michigan snakes and discuss their natural history. Our annual membership meeting will be held during the lunch break to inform members of the state of DAS and to discuss programs in progress and plans for new programs. After the break, Joe Rogers will present his program on raptors, hawks and owls found in Michigan. Joe will have several live birds to display. The last session of the day will be devoted to the rapidly advancing field of digital nature photography. Make every effort to attend the program this year. Space is limited, so send in your registration soon. We have tried to keep the fees low and have a great family rate, however, we suggest infants and toddlers not come. Fill out the DAS Annual Program Registration Form on the back page.

  • Ship Rats and Island Reptiles: Patterns of Co-Existence in the Mediterranean
    Ship rats and island reptiles: patterns of co-existence in the Mediterranean Daniel Escoriza GRECO, University of Girona, Girona, Girona, Spain ABSTRACT Background. The western Mediterranean archipelagos have a rich endemic fauna, which includes five species of reptiles. Most of these archipelagos were colonized since early historic times by anthropochoric fauna, such as ship rats (Rattus rattus). Here, I evaluated the influence of ship rats on the occurrence of island reptiles, including non-endemic species. Methodology. I analysed a presence-absence database encompassing 159 islands (Balearic Islands, Provence Islands, Corso-Sardinian Islands, Tuscan Archipelago, and Galite) using Bayesian-regularized logistic regression. Results. The analysis indicated that ship rats do not influence the occurrence of endemic island reptiles, even on small islands. Moreover, Rattus rattus co-occurred positively with two species of non-endemic reptiles, including a nocturnal gecko, a guild considered particularly vulnerable to predation by rats. Overall, the analyses showed a very different pattern than that documented in other regions of the globe, possibly attributable to a long history of coexistence. Subjects Biodiversity, Biogeography, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Zoology Keywords Alien species, Co-occurrences, Extinction, Island endemic, Lizard INTRODUCTION The Mediterranean basin is a hotspot of biodiversity, but it is also one of the regions Submitted 19 November 2019 Accepted 28 February 2020 in which biodiversity is most threatened, specifically by the massive transformation of Published 19 March 2020 landscapes and the spread of alien species (Médail & Quézel, 1999).

  • Status of Selected Mammal Species in North Myanmar
    ORYX VOL 32 NO 3 JULY 1998 Status of selected mammal species in North Myanmar Alan Rabinowitz and Saw Tun Khaing During 1996 and 1997, data on the status of selected mammal species were collected from a remote region of North Myanmar. Of the 21 species discussed in this paper, the black muntjac, stone marten and blue sheep are new records for the country. One species, the leaf muntjac, has never been described. At least three species that once inhabited the region - elephant, gaur and Sumatran rhinoceros - are no longer present, and the tiger has been nearly extirpated. Himalayan species that are declining elsewhere, such as takin, red goral and red panda, are still relatively abundant despite hunting pressures. Musk deer are in serious decline. The wolf, while not positively confirmed, may be an occasional inhabitant of North Myanmar.

The species inhabits the rivers and reservoirs of southern peninsular India, replacing the more familiar Indian Softshell Turtle, N. gangetica, of northern India. The turtle is apparently rare within its range, even within protected areas, which is suspected to be due to a past history of exploitation.
