The Andean mountain range has played an important role in the evolution of South American biota. However, there is little understanding of the patterns of species diversity across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients. In this paper, we examine the diversity of small mammals along the South Central...
However, it is difficult to draw either specific or general conclusions regarding these relationships, since, in mammals, homeostatic mechanisms are well ... N Egami - 《Oxygen Transport to Tissue XXXIII》 被引量: 2发表: 1980年 XXXIII.—Two new genera of small mammals discovered by Mrs. Holms...
These findings provide new records of footprints previously unknown of small mammals, complementing our knowledge of the anatomical traits of small xenarthrans and some of the smallest extinct native ungulates.Journal of South American Earth SciencesJuan M. De La FuenteRocío B. VeraMartín E. ...
We provide insights into the diversity of small non-volant mammals (SNVMs) in the Reserva Geobotánica Pululahua, a peri-urban natural area of Quito, Pichincha province, Ecuador. Based on Sherman-like traps and pitfall traps, we recorded 21 species of SN
In the case of‘ruminant’ animals like cattle and sheep, there is the added problem of methane. Ruminants are hoofed mammals that have a 4-chambered stomach, one of which is called the rumen. Microbes break down the ruminant’s food in a process known as ‘enteric fermentation’, which ...
These pristine waters offer you a chance to witness these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat. Alaska Cruises from Vancouver Embark in Vancouver, and journey along the Inside Passage of British Columbia, you'll become immersed in the unspoiled Canadian wilderness. Expect encounters ...
This chapter asks the question: does dispersal in large mammals differ in principle from that described in small mammals? The subject has received limited treatment in carnivores (Pusey and Packer, 1987) and primates (Chapter 11), and with a few exceptions (McCullough, 1985) is largely neglected...
The Late Quaternary witnessed a dramatic wave of large mammal extinctions, that are usually attributed to either human hunting or climatic change. We hypothesized that the large mammals that survived the extinctions might have been endowed with larger br
Before starting to cut, hand search longer grass areas for small mammals like hedgehogs. For the first cut, set the blades as high as possible, and mow strips only half as wide as the mower to reduce the load on the mower. Don’t mow around the edges to the centre, as this prev...
