There are mammal species in Chinaof which thirteen are critically endangered, twenty-four are endangered, forty-seven are vulnerable, and seven are near threatened. One of the species listed for China can no longer Mammals of China found Mammals of China the wild. The following Mammals of China are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature :. Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of near threatened and Mammals of China concern categories:. Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands. All four species are endangered. The treeshrews are small mammals native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Although called treeshrews, they are not true shrews and are not all arboreal. The order Primates contains humans and their closest relatives: lemurslorisoidsmonkeysand apes. They have two incisors Mammals of China the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae hares and rabbitsand Ochotonidae pikas. Though they can Mammals of China rodentsand were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two. The order Erinaceomorpha contains a single family, Erinaceidae, which comprise the hedgehogs and gymnures. The hedgehogs are easily recognised by their spines while gymnures look more like large rats. The "shrew-forms" are insectivorous mammals. Shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice, while moles are stout-bodied burrowers. The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of Mammals of China. The order Pholidota comprises the eight species of pangolin. Pangolins are anteaters and have the powerful claws, elongated snout and long tongue seen in Mammals of China other unrelated anteater species. The order Cetacea includes whalesdolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater. Carnivorans include over species, the majority of which primarily eat meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition. The odd-toed ungulates are browsing and grazing mammals. They are usually large to very large, and have relatively simple stomachs and a large middle toe. The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Wikipedia list article.

  • Distinguishing Extant Elephants Ivory from Mammoth Ivory Using a Short
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Distinguishing extant elephants ivory from mammoth ivory using a short sequence of cytochrome b gene Jacob Njaramba Ngatia1, Tian Ming Lan2,3,4, Yue Ma1,5, Thi Dao Dinh1, Zhen Wang1,5, Thomas D. Dahmer6 & Yan Chun Xu1,5,7* Trade in ivory from extant elephant species namely Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is regulated internationally, while the trade in ivory from extinct species of Elephantidae, including woolly mammoth, is unregulated. This distinction creates opportunity for laundering and trading elephant ivory as mammoth ivory. The existing morphological and molecular genetics methods do not reliably distinguish the source of ivory items that lack clear identifcation characteristics or for which the quality of extracted DNA cannot support amplifcation of large gene fragments. We present a PCR-sequencing method based on 116 bp target sequence of the cytochrome b gene to specifcally amplify elephantid DNA while simultaneously excluding non-elephantid species and ivory substitutes, and while avoiding contamination by human DNA. The partial Cytochrome b gene sequence enabled accurate association of ivory samples with their species of origin for all three extant elephants and from mammoth. The detection limit of the PCR system was as low as 10 copy numbers of target DNA. The amplifcation and sequencing success reached 96.7% for woolly mammoth ivory and 100% for African savanna elephant and African forest elephant ivory. This is the frst validated method for distinguishing elephant from mammoth ivory and it provides forensic support for investigation of ivory laundering cases.

  • Vietnam: Cat Tien NP, 12Th -16Th March 2020
    Vietnam: Cat Tien NP, 12th -16th March 2020 Mike Hoit [email protected] View from Forest Floor Lodge What should have been a three week journey in Annam from Cat Tien through the highlands to Bach Ma was truncated – like a lot of other people’s trips – by the CoVid1-19 crisis. With national parks and tourist areas in Vietnam shutting down and routes home beginning to be closed off, I bailed out after my first site. Logistics In early 2020, UK residents could apply for an online visa for stays of over 15 days (which was very efficient, or obtain a visa on arrival. Who knows what the logistics will be in future though?! I stayed at Forest Floor Lodge (FFL) a somewhat expensive option by Vitenamese standards but great nonetheless; I stayed in a ‘safari tent’ overlooking the river. It is closer to the ‘good’ forest, however this probably doesn’t matter most of the time. On arrival I was surprised to be identified by fellow mammalwatching.com-mers Curtis Hart & Lindsay Gedacht who were staying at the park headquarters – it was excellent to be able to team up for a number of excursions. Transfers to and from Ho Chi Minh airport were arranged through the lodge. Wildlife watching Cat Tien has been well covered by several excellent reports on mammalwatching.com, so I’ll only note a few changes. A lot of roadside forest between FFL and the HQ has been cleared back several metres to make it look ‘nicer’ – he mind boggles! We thought that this might limit sightings, however the birding was great and a few nice mammals were located.

  • The Evolution of Echolocation in Bats: a Comparative Approach
    The evolution of echolocation in bats: a comparative approach Alanna Collen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London. November 2012 Declaration Declaration I, Alanna Collen (née Maltby), confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, this is indicated in the thesis, and below: Chapter 1 This chapter is published in the Handbook of Mammalian Vocalisations (Maltby, Jones, & Jones) as a first authored book chapter with Gareth Jones and Kate Jones. Gareth Jones provided the research for the genetics section, and both Kate Jones and Gareth Jones providing comments and edits. Chapter 2 The raw echolocation call recordings in EchoBank were largely made and contributed by members of the ‘Echolocation Call Consortium’ (see full list in Chapter 2). The R code for the diversity maps was provided by Kamran Safi. Custom adjustments were made to the computer program SonoBat by developer Joe Szewczak, Humboldt State University, in order to select echolocation calls for measurement. Chapter 3 The supertree construction process was carried out using Perl scripts developed and provided by Olaf Bininda-Emonds, University of Oldenburg, and the supertree was run and dated by Olaf Bininda-Emonds. The source trees for the Pteropodidae were collected by Imperial College London MSc student Christina Ravinet. Chapter 4 Rob Freckleton, University of Sheffield, and Luke Harmon, University of Idaho, helped with R code implementation. 2 Declaration Chapter 5 Luke Harmon, University of Idaho, helped with R code implementation.
