Abstract: Melomys cervinipes (Gould, 1852) is a murid rodent commonly called the fawn-footed mosaic-tailed rat. A small, russet brown rodent with light fawn-colored feet, it is 1 of 21 currently recognized species in the genus Melomys. The species is endemic to Australia, occurring in the rainforests and forests along the eastern coast. M. cervinipes is listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Gorilla beringei Matschie, 1903 is a great ape commonly called the eastern gorilla. Highly sexually dimorphic, this diurnal knuckle-walking quadruped is 1 of 2 species of Gorilla, the largest living primates. It is endemic to northwest Rwanda and southwest Uganda as G. b. beringei, and to eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as G. b. beringei and G. b. graueri. G. beringei is known to both highland and lowland montane forests and subalpine environments, though only G. b. beringei is called the “mountain gorilla.” Those inhabiting higher elevations are more folivorous than those at lower elevations. Groups are highly cohesive polygamous social units, varying in size and composition. G. b. beringei and G. b. graueri are both listed as “Critically Endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Mustela sibirica Pallas, 1773, commonly known as the Siberian weasel, is a widely distributed Palearctic musteline with natural populations ranging from west of the Ural Mountains of Siberia to the Far East and south to Taiwan and the Himalayas. A key characteristic that distinguishes M. sibirica from most sympatric musteline species is the occurrence of a black mask on its face that surrounds the eyes, a white muzzle and chin, and the presence of a nearly completely monotone yellowish-brown coat. Although M. sibirica is hunted to make “kolinsky stable-hair” paintbrushes, populations remain stable and the species is currently listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation and Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Thylogale billardierii (Desmarest, 1822), the Tasmanian pademelon, is a small macropodid now endemic to Tasmania; the other 5 species are on the Australian mainland or Papua, New Guinea. The body is compact with relatively long forelimbs compared with larger macropodids, short ears, and a tail two-thirds the head and body length that lies on the ground while at rest. The long pelage is dark brown above and yellow-to-rufous below. While running, its body lies more closely parallel to the ground than other macropodids. A browser more than a grazer, it occupies a wide range of habitats but is often associated with forest edges. Adults weigh 4–11 kg, and males are 50% heavier than females. At present, T. billardierii is secure, listed as “Least Concern”; it is threatened primarily by introduced carnivores.

Abstract: Urocitellus parryii (Richardson, 1825) is a high-latitude sciurid known as the Arctic ground squirrel. The largest of 12 species in the genus Urocitellus, its range extends farther north than any other species of squirrel. It is also the only member of family Sciuridae with a Holarctic distribution. U. parryii is colonial and a conspicuous inhabitant of tundra, meadows, and boreal forests across large tracts of Canada, Alaska, and eastern Siberia. Although the subject of significant research in some parts of its geographic range, aspects of U. parryii biology remain understudied in others, a trend that further characterizes its representation in museum collections both spatially and temporally. Although U. parryii is not currently of conservation concern (listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), filling remaining knowledge gaps will be an important component of continued persistence given predicted scenarios of environmental change.

Abstract The genus Octodontomys contains only a single species, Octodontomys gliroides (P. Gervais and d'Orbigny, 1844), the mountain degu, found in Andean and Sub-Andean regions of 3 countries, Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, from elevations of about 1,200–4,400 m. This fossorial octodontid is typical of dry areas, inhabits rocky zones, and is active during the day and the first few hours of night. It is not of special conservation status, being common throughout its distribution, and is considered a species of “Least Concern.”
章鱼属(Octodontomys gliroides, P. Gervais and d’orbigny, 1844)是德古山的一种，分布于阿根廷、玻利维亚和智利3个国家的安第斯山脉和亚安第斯山脉地区，海拔约1200 - 4400米。这种穴居的八齿兽是典型的干燥地区，栖息在岩石地带，在白天和夜晚的头几个小时都很活跃。它没有特殊的保护地位，在其分布中很常见，被认为是“最不受关注的”物种。

Abstract Artibeus fraterculus Anthony, 1924 is a phyllostomid bat commonly called the fraternal fruit-eating bat. It is endemic to western Ecuador and north-central and western Peru. It prefers dry forests and arid zones where it can be very abundant, and it also is present in semideciduous and humid habitats, where it occurs less abundantly; it is an active seed disperser especially of plants of the family Moraceae. This species apparently is not threatened by deforestation or urbanization and the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and the Ecuador Red List of mammals both list A. fraterculus as of “Least Concern.”

Abstract: Microtus quasiater (Coues, 1874) is a small arvicoline rodent commonly known as the Jalapan pine vole. It is 1 of 7 species of Microtus that live in Mexico. M. quasiater has a restricted distribution, and typically inhabits mountain cloud forest in the Sierra Madre Oriental along a narrow zone at elevations from about 700 to 2,150 m. It is a generalist herbivore known to feed on at least 36 plant species, including both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. The species is considered as “Near Threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and some data indicate low population sizes.

Abstract Chinchilla chinchilla (Lichtenstein, 1830), a hystricomorph rodent of the family Chinchillidae, is a highland species that inhabits the Andean foothills of northern Chile and southern Bolivia, specifically the Antofagasta and Atacama regions in Chile and Potosí in Bolivia, at elevations of 3,500–5,000 m. It has a silky-soft pelage of extremely dense and long fur, the color of which is bluish, pearl, or brownish gray on the dorsum. The furry tail is covered with coarse hairs on the dorsal surface. C. chinchilla is distinguished from Lagidium and Lagotomus by its small size and differs from C. lanigera in its smaller rounded ears and a shorter tail. Although new populations were found recently, this species is considered “Critically Endangered” requiring continued protection by law and further research of its genetics and ecology.
