Abstract: Martes martes (Linnaeus, 1758), commonly called the European pine marten, is a small predator widespread in western Eurasia. In almost all its geographic distribution, it is autochthonous. It is as a secondary consumer but, a predator with omnivorous traits. Martes martes inhabits forests with varied tree compositions, but in recent decades, it has spread to forest-steppe and agricultural areas. It is hunted in some areas, mainly in winter. In some countries during the 20th century, it experienced significant declines in numbers, but at present, it is “Least Concern” (LC) on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.

Abstract: Mazama gouazoubira (Fischer [von Waldheim], 1814) is an ungulate commonly called gray brocket deer. Six morphological forms have been described, but it is currently considered as monotypic. It is a widespread medium-sized cervid, sexually dimorphic with males having antlers. The geographic distribution of M. gouazoubira extends from the southern Amazon region to northern Argentina and Uruguay and stretches from east of the dry Andean range in Argentina and Bolivia, to the Atlantic Coast. It is the most abundant species of brocket deer in South America. Habitat loss and hunting are considered the major threats and it is listed as “Least Concern” (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Resumen: Mazama gouazoubira (Fischer [von Waldheim], 1814) es un ungulado comúnmente llamado corzuela parda. Se han descrito seis morfotipos, aunque actualmente se le considera como una especie monotípica. Es un cérvido de tamaño mediano con amplia distribución, presenta dimorfismo sexual con la presencia de astas en los machos. La distribución geográfica de M. gouazoubira se extiende desde la región sureña del Amazonas hasta el norte de Argentina y Uruguay, abarcando desde el este de la Cordillera de los Andes en Argentina y Bolivia, hasta la Costa Atlántica. Es la especie de corzuela más abundante en América del Sur. La pérdida de hábitat y la cacería se consideran sus principales amenazas. La Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza la clasifica como de “Preocupación Menor” (LC).
摘要:Mazama gouazoubira (Fischer [von Waldheim], 1814)是一种俗称灰花鹿的有蹄类动物。已经描述了六种形态形式,但目前被认为是单型的。它是一种广泛分布的中等大小的鹿科动物,两性二型,雄性有鹿角。M. gouazoubira的地理分布从亚马逊南部地区延伸到阿根廷和乌拉圭北部,从阿根廷和玻利维亚干燥的安第斯山脉东部延伸到大西洋沿岸。它是南美洲数量最多的小鹿。栖息地丧失和狩猎被认为是主要的威胁,被国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)列为“最不关注”(LC)。简历:Mazama gouazoubira (Fischer [von Waldheim], 1814) es un ungulado comúnmente llamado corzuela parda。Se han描述了它的形态,独特的实际情况,特别是monotípica。他说:“我不知道为什么,我不知道。”他说:“我不知道。”网址:distribución geográfica网址:guazoubira的网址:región sureña网址:亚马逊河流域的网址:阿根廷北部的网址:乌拉圭,阿根廷安第斯山脉的网址:玻利维亚,哥斯达黎加网址:Atlántica。这是一个特别的corzuela más丰富的南方美国。从hábitat到cacería,我们考虑到我们的原则。“Preocupación Menor”(LC)国际Conservación自然与古典经济合作组织。

Abstract: Hylobates moloch (Audebert, 1797), the Javan or silvery gibbon, is a pair-living small ape which is exclusively found in the western and central regions of the Indonesian island of Java. It represents the southernmost occurring species of the genus Hylobates and inhabits the canopy of tropical rainforests. It is foremost characterized by its long silvery-gray fur in combination with a lack of duet songs in mated pairs. Hylobates moloch is threatened by habitat loss as well as the illegal wildlife trade and is listed as “Endangered” (EN) by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Abstract: Petaurista philippensis (Elliot, 1839), commonly known as the Indian giant flying squirrel or the large brown flying squirrel, is one of the largest flying squirrels. It has a grizzled brown or claret brown coat, and a black-tipped long tail. Petaurista philippensis is distributed in a range of habitats throughout Southeast Asia, reaching a maximum elevation of 2,200 m. It is nocturnal. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed it as “Least Concern” (LC) on the global scale, but its populations are declining in many regions. The Indian Government has included it in Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, and Sri Lanka has listed it in Schedule II (Section 30) of the Fauna and Flora Protection (Amendment) Act.

Abstract: Reithrodontomys microdon Merriam, 1901 is a cricetid rodent commonly called the small-toothed harvest mouse. It is a small-bodied mouse with deep reddish-fulvous fur, a tail longer than the head–body length, and long, dark, and nearly naked ears. There are distinctive dark rings around the eyes. As 1 of 24 species of the genus Reithrodontomys and among the most arboreal, its populations inhabit cool moist forests of high mountains in isolated pockets across its geographic distribution in central Mexico, Oaxaca (Mexico), Chiapas (Mexico,) and west-central Guatemala. Reithrodontomys microdon is considered “Least Concern” (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), mainly due to habitat loss caused by annual and perennial nontimber crops, as well as logging and wood harvesting. Resumen: Reithrodontomys microdon Merriam, 1901 es un roedor cricétido comúnmente llamado ratón cosechero dientes pequeños. Es un ratón de cuerpo pequeño con pelaje rojizo-leonado, con cola más larga que la longitud cabeza-cuerpo, con orejas largas, oscuras y prácticamente desnudas. Presenta anillos oculares oscuros distintivos. Como una de las 24 especies del género Reithrodontomys y una de las más arbóreas, sus poblaciones habitan bosques fríos y húmedos de altas montañas en zonas aisladas a lo largo de su distribución en México Central, Oaxaca (México), Chiapas (México) y el centro-oeste de Guatemala. La Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN) considera a Reithrodontomys microdon en “Preocupación menor” (LC) debido principalmente a pérdida de hábitat causado por cultivos anuales y perennes, así como por tala y extracción de madera.
摘要:Reithrodontomys microdon Merriam, 1901是一种通常被称为小齿收获鼠的环状啮齿类动物。这是一种体型小的老鼠,有着深红褐色的皮毛,尾巴比头身体长,耳朵又长又黑,几乎裸露。眼睛周围有独特的黑眼圈。作为Reithrodontomys属24种中的一种,并且是最适合树栖的,它的种群生活在墨西哥中部、瓦哈卡(墨西哥)、恰帕斯(墨西哥)和危地马拉中西部的孤立的小袋高山凉爽潮湿的森林中。被国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)认为是“最不受关注的”(LC),主要是由于一年生和多年生非木材作物以及伐木和木材采伐造成的栖息地丧失。简历:Reithrodontomys microdon Merriam, 1901年,他的名字叫Reithrodontomys。Es un ratón de cuerpo pequeño con pelaje rojizo-leonado, con cola más larga que la longitude cabeza-cuerpo, con orejas largas, oscuras y prácticamente desnudas。现在有独特的眼斑。墨西哥有24个不同种类的通讯装置()和通讯装置(),它们分别是墨西哥的más arbóreas、墨西哥的狒狒fríos和húmedos墨西哥的狒狒montañas、墨西哥的狒狒和危地马拉的大型狒狒distribución、墨西哥中部的通讯装置()、瓦哈卡()、恰帕斯()和危地马拉的中部。国际自然保护组织Conservación (IUCN)考虑了一种小型动物的生长发育,如“Preocupación menor”(LC)的生长发育和生长发育(hábitat)的生长发育,如一年生和多年生的生长发育,así的生长发育和发育。

Abstract: Myotis lavali Moratelli, Peracchi, Dias, and Oliveira, 2011 is a vespertilionid bat commonly called LaVal's myotis. It is a small- to medium-sized bat with long silky fur; dorsal fur strongly bicolored, with medium-brown bases and light-brown tips. It occurs from Northeastern Brazil to Paraguay and northern Argentina, and its distribution is associated with the South American diagonal of dry formations (Caatinga, Cerrado, Chaco, and Pantanal biomes), with peripheral records in the adjacent Atlantic Forest. Myotis lavali is listed as “Least Concern” (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Lycaon pictus (Temminck, 1820), the African wild dog, is a moderately sized carnivore with dog-like appearance and irregularly mottled black, yellow-brown, and white pelage. It has a head–body length of 76–112 cm, tail length of 30–41 cm, shoulder height of 61–78 cm, and body weight of 17–36 kg. Lycaon pictus has four toes on each foot, differentiating it from other canids; is the only extant species within the genus with no subspecies; and is unlikely to be confused with any other canid. Lycaon pictus was once widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa inhabiting nearly all environments and now inhabits grasslands, montane savanna, and open woodlands. Lycaon pictus is recognized as “Endangered” (EN) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Abstract: Mazama rufina (Pucheran, 1851) is a small endemic cervid of the Andes of northern South America, commonly called the dwarf red brocket or little red brocket. It stands about 45 cm tall at the shoulder, has a red coloring on the body, with darker brown to black on the face and legs. Mazama rufina is one of eight species in the genus Mazama. It is generally found in the Andes mountain range that spans parts of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela inhabiting the páramo and remaining patches of forest. It is currently considered “Vulnerable” (VU) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, mostly due to habitat destruction from encroaching human populations.
