Abstract Otospermophilus douglasii (Richardson, 1829), the Douglas ground squirrel, was first described as a species and then relegated to a subspecies of the California ground squirrel, O. beecheyi (Richardson, 1829). However, genetic data recently were interpreted as indicative of returning O. douglasii back to valid species status. This semi-fossorial, social species is brown with small white spots, a dark dorsal patch, and silvery shoulders. Occupying diverse habitats and elevations, this native species is an important prey species and is most abundant in grasslands and open woodlands. It forages primarily on seeds and vegetation but is also in conflict with humans as a crop pest and disease vector that damages infrastructure through creating elaborate burrow systems. Currently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has not provided a conservation assessment for O. douglasii.

Abstract Eptesicus innoxius (Gervais, 1841) is a vespertilionid bat commonly known as harmless brown bat or harmless serotine. It is a small bat, with woolly, short dorsal fur (5–6 mm), that is brown to pale grayish brown; the sagittal and lambdoidal crests are very low or absent. Eptesicus innoxius occurs in lowlands west of the Andes, with a geographic distribution restricted to northwestern and southern Ecuador, and northwestern Peru, at elevations from sea level to 1,200 m. It is listed as “Near Threatened” (NT) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because of a suspected population reduction due to a significant decline of habitat where the species occurs.

Abstract Gazella leptoceros (F. Cuvier, 1842) is a monotypic African gazelle, most commonly called the slender-horned gazelle. It is one of 21 species in the genus Gazella and is distinguished by its pale sandy coloration, fawn-colored markings, and namesake long, slender horns. Gazella leptoceros is a dune specialist that inhabits the hyperarid northern Sahara Desert between Algeria and Egypt. It feeds on shrubs and low desert plants and ranges over large distances in small groups of 1–5 animals. Because of its very small, isolated populations, G. leptoceros is classified as “Endangered” (EN) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species and is on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
Gazella leptoceros (F. Cuvier, 1842)是一种单型非洲瞪羚，通常被称为细角瞪羚。它是Gazella属21种中的一种，其特点是浅沙色，黄褐色的斑纹和同名的长而细长的角。Gazella lepptoceros是一种沙丘专家，生活在阿尔及利亚和埃及之间极度干旱的撒哈拉沙漠北部。它以灌木和低矮的沙漠植物为食，以1-5只动物为小群体，在很远的地方活动。由于其非常小，孤立的种群，钩端龙被列为“濒危”(EN)在国际自然保护联盟的濒危物种红色名录上，并被列入《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录I。

Abstract Oryzomys palustris (Harlan, 1837), the common marsh rice rat, is an Oryzomyine rodent with a tail nearly as long as the head and body, grayish above and white below with long-toed white feet. This account is an update of Mammalian Species 176 on the subject species by James L. Wolfe (1982a), incorporating 103 new references, most published since 1982. Oryzomys palustris, one of six living and two extinct species in this Neotropical genus, is semiaquatic and omnivorous, being highly carnivorous in some populations. It is parapatric with O. texensis in the western portion of its distribution in the southern United States. Oryzomys palustris is classified as “Least Concern” (LC) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.
稻谷鼠(Oryzomys palustris, Harlan, 1837)是常见的沼泽稻鼠，是一种稻谷目啮齿类动物，尾巴几乎与头和身体一样长，上灰白色，下白色，脚长趾白色。本记录是对James L. Wolfe (1982a)关于主题物种的《哺乳动物物种176》的更新，纳入了103个新的参考文献，其中大多数是1982年以后发表的。palustris是这个新热带属的六个现存物种和两个灭绝物种之一，是半水栖和杂食性的，在一些种群中是高度肉食性的。在其分布于美国南部的西部部分，它与特克南蝽并列。在国际自然保护联盟(iucn)的红色名录中，palustris被列为“最不受关注”(LC)。
