PREFACE India has a rich and varied heritage of biodiversity, enconlpassing a wide variety of habitats fronl tropical rainforests to alpine vegetation and tenlperate forests to coastal wetlands. Of the twenty-four hot spots identified globally, India holds two - The Western Ghats and Eastern Hinlalayas, which feature among the top eight 1110st il11portal1t hotspots. In addition, India is one of the twelve-nlega biodiversity countries of the \vorld and one of Jour in Asia. India has n10re than 89,000 species of Fauna, which is 7.2o/t) of the known Global Faunal diversity. Of the 4629 Manlnlal species known Globally, India has 397 species, which is about 9% of the world l11anlnlalian fauna. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), Corbett and Hill (1992) and Wilson and Reeder (1993) while dealing with World Manlll1als refer to Indian lllalllll1alian fauna. Though nlany in-depth accounts of Indian Man1111als have been writtcn since thc 191h century, naillely, Blandford (1880), Lydekker (1913), Pocock (1939, 1941) and Prater (1971), there is still no conlprehensive compendiull1 on Indian Manlll1a)s. The objective of the present work is to compile an account of Indian Manlnlals in one VOlU111C and place thenl within a taxononlic fral11ework after taking into account the pertinent published studies. As far as possible all related published work on Indian Manl111als have been referred to. Moreover in the absence of recent r~visionary work on nlany groups of Indian Manlnlals, a l11ixture of prinlary and secondary sources has been consulted. The present checklist includes up to date synonymy of each species, their gcographical distribution in India and their conservation and trade status. Of the 397 Indian species 46 arc endelllic and 77 are threatened. The authors would like to place on record their gratitude to colleagues in the Zoological Survey of India and outside for their suggestions and assistance in this work. J.R.B. Alfred N.K. Sinha S.

They are found in all types of habitats from snowy Himalayas to the plains and display all sorts of adaptation. Population of some species have become so numerous as to cause great damage of agriculture and forestry or are causativ~ agents of various diseases. On the other hand, trade, hunting and habitat destruction resulted serious d~cline in the population of many of the species and some of them have become threatened. As such adequate systematic knowledge of the Indian mammalian fauna through taxonomic, zoogeographic and biological studies is necessary so that the ways for management of the 1\vo extrelne sides may be devised. The first step towards this is to have a comprehensive idea about the species composition of the different regions. During the last century, the complete appraisal of the mammalian species of world was made by Flower (1891) and Lydekker (1891) and Trouessart (1897-1905). In the present century, dynamic and rapid changes in the knowledge of mammalian taxonomy occurred through various regional and global studies supported by expeditions and collection of fresh material. Silnpson (1945) put forwarded the Inost acceptable classification of mammals. Walker et al. (1964) brought out three volulne cOlnpendium on the mammal species of the world, which is now in fifth edition (Nowak 1991). These yolumes enumerated the species in each genus and furnished illustration of at least one member of each genus. Corbet and Hill (1980, 1986) and Honacki et al. (1982) provided world list of malnmalian species. In both the publications taxonomic revisions made by several authors have been taken into consideration. Corbet and Hill (1992) brought out an account of the mammalian fauna of the Indolnalayan region with critical review of classification, zoogeography, ecology and taxonolnic revision. Wilson and Reeder (1993) compiled a world Jist of mammalian species \vith cOlnplete taxonomic and geographical references on the basis of contribution by the specialists of different groups. Coming to the Indian scenario, one could find the description of several mammals in the "Vedas" (Rao 1957). Tenth edition of Systema Naturae (1758) by Karl von Linne provided binomial names of many Indian species. During the first three quarters of t.he nineteenth century, S. R. Tickel1, T. Horsfield, T. Hutton, E. Blyth, T. Hardwicke, J.E. Gray, S.H. Hodgson and many others made outstanding contribution to Indian mammalogy including description of a number of new species. However, consolidated account of Indian mammals was provided for the first time by Jerdon (1867) who dealt with morphology, habits and distribution. Sterndale (1884) provided a popular account of common Indian species. Blanford (1888-91) brought out systematic account of the mammal ian fauna of 2 Ree. zool. Surv. India, Oee. Paper No. 199 the Indian subcontinent with taxonomic revision. In connection with the catalogues of the mammals of Indian Museum, substantial information on the mammalian species was provided by Anderson (1881) and Sclater (1891). Knowledge about the diversity of Indian mammals has gained a momemtum chiefly through the collection made between 1911 and 1928 by the Mammal Survey of India organised by the Bombay Natural History Society. Area-wise collections were reported on by Wroughton, Ryley, Thomas, Davidson, Hinton, Mills and Fry between 1912 to 1928. These studies ushered in the modern trinomial nomenlature of Indian mammals. Wroughton (1918-1920) on examination of the survey material provided keys to the identication of various taxa. Further, these collection formed the basis of the fauna volume on Primates and Carnivora (Pocock 1939, 1941), Rodentia (Ellerman 1961), Checklist of Indian and Palaearctie mammals (El1ennan and Morrison-Scott 1951), the book on Indian animals with illustration (Prater 1980). Cabrera (1914), Ognev (1928-48), Karuda (1938), Osgood (1932), Phillips (1935), Allen (1938,40), Chasen (1940), Bobrinskii et al. (1944), Yin (1967), Lakagul and McNeely (1977), Roberts (1977), and Medway (1977, 1978) also enriched Indian mammalogy while dealing with the

  • Hand-Rearing and Rehabilitation of Orphaned Palm Squirrels, Funambulus Sp
    Hand-rearing and Rehabilitation of Orphaned Palm Squirrels, Funambulus sp. Devna Arora The Palm Squirrel A young 5-striped Indian palm squirrel Palm squirrels are palm-sized rodents with thick, bushy tails that belong to the genus Funambulus and the subfamily Calloscuirinae, a subfamily of squirrels found in Asia. The genus Funambulus comprises of 5 species of squirrels widely distributed in the Indian subcontinent with the subgenus of Prasadsciurus found right up to Iran. For ease of classification and understanding of behaviour, I prefer to group these squirrels based on their proximity to human settlements. The two species of palm squirrels commonly found in urban, suburban and rural landscapes are: • Indian 3-Striped Palm Squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) which has a more southern distribution and is commonly found in peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Rehabber’s Den © 2013 1 Hand-rearing and rehabilitation of orphaned palm squirrels, Funambulus sp. • Indian 5-Striped Palm Squirrel (Funambulus pennantii) which has a more northern distribution in India and in commonly found in central and northern India as well as Nepal, Pakistan and Iran. The two species can easily be distinguished by counting the number of paler coloured stripes on the squirrel’s back. The squirrels range from 22.5 cm to 40 cm in length, which includes a tail of 11–12 cm long, and weigh between 100–200 gm. Data suggests that palm squirrels live on average for 5-6 years in captivity although individuals have been known to live longer. They may only breed seasonally in the northern distribution of their ranges but breed all-year round otherwise.

  • Hystrix Africaeaustralis)
    Reproduction in captive female Cape porcupines (Hystrix africaeaustralis) R. J. van Aarde Mammal Research Institute, University ofPretoria, Pretoria 0002, South Africa Summary. Captive females attained sexual maturity at an age of 9\p=n-\16months and con- ceived for the first time when 10\p=n-\25months old. Adult females were polyoestrous but did not cycle while lactating or when isolated from males. The length of the cycle varied from 17 to 42 days (mean \m=+-\s.d. 31\m=.\2\m=+-\6\m=.\5days; n = 43) and females experienced 3\p=n-\7 sterile cycles before conceiving. Pregnancy lasted for 93\p=n-\94days (93\m=.\5\m=+-\0\m=.\6days; N = 4) and litter intervals varied from 296 to 500 days (385 \m=+-\60\m=.\4;n = 10). Litter size varied from 1 to 3 (1\m=.\5\m=+-\0\m=.\66;n = 165) and the well-developed precocial young weighed 300\p=n-\400g (351 \m=+-\47\m=.\4g; n= 19) at birth. Captive females reproduced throughout the year with most litters (78\m=.\7%;n = 165) being produced between August and March. Introduction Cape porcupines (Hystrix africaeaustralis) inhabit tropical forests, woodlands, grassland savannas, semi-arid and arid environments throughout southern Africa. Despite this widespread distribution little attention has been given to these nocturnal, Old World hystricomorph rodents, which shelter and breed in subterranean burrows, rock crevices and caves. Some information on reproduction in female porcupines has been published on the crested porcupine (H. cristata) (Weir, 1967), the Himalayan porcupine (H. hodgsoni) (Gosling, 1980) and the Indian porcupine (H.

  • For the Control of Indian Crested Porcupine, Hystrix Indica
    Original Article Asian J Agri Biol, 2016, 4(4): 85-90. TESTING ALUMINIUM PHOSPHIDE IN INDIAN CRESTED PORCUPINE BURROWS AS A PEST MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE IN BANNU, PAKISTAN Ashrafullah Khan1, Muhammad Mushtaq1, Muhammad Sajid Nadeem1, Amjad Rashid Kayani1 and Irfan Ahmed2 1Department of Zoology, Pir Mehr Ali Shah, Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi, Pakistan, 2Vertebrate Pest Management Programme, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Indian crested porcupine (Hystrix indica) is widely distributed and a serious mammal pest of trees, agricultural crops, orchards and vegetables in different environments of Pakistan. Trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of aluminium phosphide (phostoxin; 3 g tablets) against Indian crested porcupine, in the field conditions of Bannu district of Pakistan. Results reflected that in case of cropland fumigation trials, two tablets of phostoxin were not effective in reduction of porcupine burrow activity in small sized burrows, while 66.7% reduction could be achieved by applying four tablets. A 100% reduction in burrow activity was recorded in case of medium and large sized burrows, where 6 – 12 tablets were applied. In the non-cropland area, in case of small sized burrows, two tablets of phostoxin could not be effective in reduction of burrow activity, while in case of four tablets, only, 33.4% reduction could be achieved. Similarly, in case of medium and large sized burrows, 6 – 10 tablets were effective in 100% reduction of porcupine burrow activity. It is suggested that aluminum phosphide fumigation is effective in controlling porcupine population in the cropland and non-cropland areas, if the fumigation dose is optimized. Keywords: Porcupine control, burrow size, fumigation, cropland, non-cropland.
