  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    THE GENERA AND SUBGENERA OF RACCOONS AND THEIR ALLIES. By N. HOLLISTER, Assistant Curator, Division of Mammals, United States National Museum. The family Procyonidae offers a remarkable instance of a group of mammal genera in which the differentiation in the structure of the teeth throughout the series is nearly uniform in degree from genus to genus, and strictly definite in direction from one extreme to the other. Tliis condition is particularly interesting because of the wide difference between the teeth of genera from the extremes of the line, and because the widely diverse cranial and external charac- ters show no special tendency toward serial grouping. EUminating the very aberrant Bassariscus, which clearly does not belong in this series of genera, the superspecific groups remaining within the Procyonidge, when based chiefly on dental characteristics, fall into as weU-ordered a sequence of steps, connecting the Old-World Ailurus with the American Potos, as it would seem possible to find among living animals. (Plate 39.) The one seemingly aberrant cranial feature in Ailurus,^ the presence of the aUsphenoid canal, can not in tliis case be considered a character of family or subfamily importance. The alisphenoid canal in other famiUes of carnivores is known to be absent or present in different genera, in individuals of the same species, or even on the right and left side of the same individual. Of the American groups, Euprocyon is the nearest approach to Ailurus, but if the genera within the family are to be kept of fairly uniform value and degree of differen- tiation, Euprocyon is surely not more than a subgenus of Procyon.

  • Additions to Mammals Killed by Motor Vehicles on Vía Del Escobero, Envigado
    Revista EIA, ISSN 1794-1237 / Year XI / Volume 11 / Issue N.22 / July-December 2014 / pp. 137-142 Technical-scientific biannual publication / Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia —EIA—, Envigado (Colombia) ADDITIONS TO MAMMALS KILLED BY MOTOR VEHICLES ON VÍA DEL ESCOBERO, ENVIGADO CARLOS A. DELGADO-V. 1 ABSTRACT Vertebrate road kills are a generalized problem around the world, but they are scarcely documented on Colombian highways, especially in peri-urban areas. This study describes the highway mortality of mammals in a six year-period (2008-2013) on Vía del Escobero (Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia). Mammal groups that presented the highest mortality rates were marsupials (54.3%), carnivores (25.7%), and rodents (17.5%). Although there was a lower diversity and fewer individual fatalities than in previous years for the same highway, this study reports a greater number of fatalities for some endangered and unknown species such as Leopardus tigrinus, Puma yag- ouaroundi, and Bassaricyon neblina. This study also added three new species to the road kill list on this highway.

Aquí se describe la mortalidad de mamíferos entre los años 2008 a 2013 en la vía El Escobero (Envigado, Antioquia). Los mamíferos más atropella- dos en este periodo fueron los marsupiales (54.3 %), los carnívoros (25.7 %) y los roedores (17.5 %).

  • 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.

Cladistic analyses of morpho- logical characters conducted during the last two decades have resulted in topologies that group ecologically and morphologically similar taxa together. SpeciWcally, the highly arboreal and frugivorous kinkajou (Potos Xavus) and olingos (Bassaricyon) deWne one clade, whereas the more terrestrial and omnivorous coatis (Nasua), raccoons (Procyon), and ringtails (Bassariscus) deWne another clade, with the similar-sized Nasua and Procyon joined as sister taxa in this latter group. These relationships, however, have not been tested with molecu- lar sequence data. We examined procyonid phylogenetics based on combined data from nine nuclear and two mitochondrial gene seg- ments totaling 6534 bp.

  • Taxonomic Boundaries and Geographic Distributions Revealed by an Integrative Systematic Overview of the Mountain Coatis, Nasuella (Carnivora: Procyonidae)
    Taxonomic boundaries and geographic distributions revealed by an integrative systematic overview of the mountain coatis, Nasuella (Carnivora: Procyonidae) Kristofer M. HELGEN1, Roland Kays2,3, Lauren E. HELGEN1, Mirian T. N. Tsuchiya-JEREP4,5, C. Miguel Pinto6,7, Klaus-Peter KOEPFLI8, Eduardo EIZIRIK4 and Jesús E. MALDONADO5 Abstract The procyonid taxon Nasuella Hollister, 1915, is currently recognized as a monotypic genus comprising the single species N. olivacea (Gray, 1865), the Mountain Coati, found in montane habitats (circa 1300-4250 m) in the Andes of Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. In this study we utilize museum specimens to examine the phylogenetic relationships, taxonomy and geographic distribution of Nasuella populations with an integrative systematic approach. Drawing on morphological comparisons of pelage, cranial, and dental characters, and molecular comparisons of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b (from recent and historical samples), we confirm that Nasuella is closely related to other coatis (Nasua) and show that there are two deeply divergent lineages represented within the taxonomic bounds of Nasuella. We recognize and diagnose these taxa as two distinctive mountain coati species, corresponding to the Eastern Mountain Coati Nasuella meridensis (Thomas, 1901), endemic to the Venezuelan Andes, and the Western Mountain Coati N. olivacea, distributed in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador. We use locality and habitat data associated with museum specimens to model the global geographic range of both species. From this we predict areas of undocumented (i.e., currently unvouchered) occurrence, areas of habitat loss as- sociated with land use changes, and the geographic barrier separating the distributions of N. meridensis and N. olivacea. This newfound understanding of taxonomy and distribution should allow for a revised conservation assessment for mountain coatis.
