by reporting two recent records. These suggest a wide distri-bution across the country, and extend the known habitat as-sociations to the Dry Chaco. Nomenclature As currently understood the genus Galictis Bell, 1826 contains two extant species, the larger Greater Grison G. vittata (Schre-ber, 1776) and the smaller Lesser Grison G. cuja (Molina, 178...

... decomposing and bloated road-kill specimen was found on 17 September 2010 by PS and HDC (accompanied by Robert and Ulrike Wylands) on the Super Carretera Itaipú, Departa- mento Alto Paraná (Fig. 1, locality 2). The specimen was pho- tographed in situ ( Fig. 2; additional photographs are available at http://www.faunaparaguay.com/galictisvittata.html). The off-white head stripe and tips of the dorsal hairs suggest that this specimen is attributable to G. v. brasiliensis (Thunberg, 1820). Although heavily altered, the natural vegetation here is Atlantic Forest, with the immediate area being ...

... head stripe and tips of the dorsal hairs suggest that this specimen is attributable to G. v. brasiliensis (Thunberg, 1820). Although heavily altered, the natural vegetation here is Atlantic Forest, with the immediate area being characterised by islands of disturbed forest, pasture land and isolated hu- man dwellings. The specimen, an adult male (Figs. 2-3) was deposited at the nearby Museo Itaipú Binacional, where it is catalogued as CBMI 284, skull and skeleton. Bornholdt et al. (2013) made no reference to this specimen and presumably did not know of its ...

The research presented in this chapter provides a comprehensive
analysis of ultrasonic vocalisations (USVs) in all southern African gerbil

Environmental temperature is an important factor that regulates activity and physiological processes of ectotherms. Because sympatric species are exposed to similar thermal niche conditions, closely related species could present similar thermal requirements. This similarity may generate interspecific competition for optimal thermal space. The therm...
Mate choice in female Apistogramma cacatuoides is genetically determined. Females of the aquarium strain studied have a strong preference for red-coloured males of their own strain, although some deviate from this basic sexual preference, and those which choose redcoloured males in a first mate-choice experiment may subsequently choose males of a d...
The study was conducted in Western Poland during three breeding seasons (1996-1998). Spontaneous song rate changes and playback experiments were used to determine functions of the song in two closely related, sympatric species: Eurasian Treecreeper and Short-toed Treecreeper. Substantial differences in spontaneous song rate and reaction to playback...
Across the globe, more than 21 species undergo seasonal changes in coloration, molting white in winter to become camouflaged against snow. Given the adaptive value of seasonal camouflage against local snow duration, one might predict that sympatric coat color changing species would have similar winter coat color. This hypothesis, however, contrasts...
