Abstract Nyctimene robinsoni (Thomas 1904) is currently the only species of tube-nosed bat in Australia. This medium-sized bat in the group commonly referred to as megachiropterans, is distinguishable by tube-shaped nostrils that protrude 5–6 mm from the end of its rostrum. It is currently considered to be endemic to the eastern coastal regions of Australia, although recent taxonomic revisions and continued field studies may soon expand the known range to include some islands north of the Australian mainland. The conservation status of N. robinsoni is considered “Vulnerable” by the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act due to accidental death by impalement on barbed wire fences, habitat loss, and predation; however, it is considered as a species of “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act.

Abstract Santamartamys rufodorsalis (Allen, 1899) is a rodent commonly called the red-crested tree rat. It is a medium-sized arboreal rat with soft, long pelage, and a crest of long hair on the crown between the ears. The dorsum is a deep rufous, and the sides, including the head and nose, are a paler yellowish orange. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Known only from 2 museum specimens and 1 photographic record from 3 localities of Colombia, it may be one of the rarest rodents in South America. Globally, it is considered “Critically Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Abstract Calyptophractus retusus (Burmeister, 1863), commonly called the greater fairy armadillo, is a small armadillo in a monotypic genus. It is a poorly known, fossorial species with a reduced eye and ear, fixed carapace and greatly enlarged foreclaws adapted for digging. The species is confined to the Chaco region of northern Argentina, western Paraguay, and southern Bolivia where it is apparently locally distributed in areas with soft, sandy soils. The species is considered “Data Deficient” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Myotis riparius is a vespertilionid bat commonly called the riparian myotis. It is a medium-sized bat, with woolly fur; color of dorsal fur varies geographically from a reddish to blackish tinge. M. riparius is widely distributed in the Neotropics, occurring from Honduras southward into South America to Paraguay, northern Argentina, and Uruguay. It occurs in rainforests, savannas, and open habitats, at elevations from sea level to about 2,000 m. It is listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Prevost's squirrel, Callosciurus prevostii (Desmarest, 1822), is a diurnal, medium-sized, arboreal squirrel. Its distribution extends from peninsular Thailand and Sumatra to northern Sulawesi, Borneo, and adjacent islands. It inhabits secondary forests, fruit orchards, as well as palm and coconut plantations. Fruit is the main component of its diet, but some arthropods are also eaten. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources lists C. prevostii as “Least Concern” due to its wide distribution and tolerance for some degree of habitat modification.

Abstract: Microtus agrestis (Linnaeus, 1761) is a relatively small microtine rodent commonly called the field vole. It has a compact body, blunt oval head, short round ears that barely protrude from the fur, and a short, bicolored, rather stiff tail. It is easily confused with sympatric or parapatric Microtus arvalis, M. oeconomus, and M. levis (M. rossiaermeridonalis) with indistinguishable juveniles. There is geographical variation of size and coloration ranging across Europe south from the Pyrenees to the Arctic coast and Alps eastward to the River Yenisei and Lake Baikal in Asia up to elevations of 2,100 m. It prefers wet meadow areas, riverside habitats, and forests with dense herbaceous cover. M. agrestis is considered to represent a trace of a 1st radiation of the genus Microtus in Europe.

Abstract: Olallamys albicaudus (Günther, 1879) is a rodent called the white-tailed Olalla rat. It is a medium-sized rat with soft, long pelage and a tail with a whitish tip. The dorsum is bright reddish-brown, and the venter is whitish. It is endemic to the Andes region of Colombia and despite its wide distribution in the country, O. albicaudus is known from only a few museum specimens associated with 12 confirmed localities within Colombia. Globally, it is considered “Data Deficient” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii (Boitard, 1842), the largest surviving marsupial carnivore, is endemic to Tasmania. The size of a small stocky dog, with males weighing 9 kg and females 6 kg, S. harrisii is a scavenger of large mammals and opportunistic predator of vertebrates. Life span in the wild averaged 3–4 years until the late 1990s when a fatal cancer, transmitted by bites, began devastating populations, primarily adults. Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), a soft-tissue neoplasm usually seen 1st on the head, invariably kills within 6 months of the appearance of symptoms. In the 20 years since the appearance of DFTD, S. harrisii has gone from a species of "Least Concern" to one "Threatened" and potentially on the path to extinction

Abstract: Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758), commonly known as the Eurasian otter, is the most widely distributed of the lutrinids (otters). L. lutra is primarily a piscivorous predator but also preys on amphibians, crustaceans, small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Extant populations of this semiaquatic mustelid occur in a wide variety of aquatic freshwater and marine habitats throughout Asia, all of Europe, and parts of northern Africa. Despite the large distribution, habitat loss has led to dwindling L. lutra populations, particularly in Asia, and the species is currently listed as “Near Threatened” by the International Union for Conservation and Nature and Natural Resources.
