Abstract We analyzed the distribution of climatic habitat suitable for biomes of the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, under the contemporary climate (1961–1990) and projected to the decade centered on the year 2030. This was achieved through previous modeling of the climatic habitat using random forest of the program R and six different climatic model scenarios. By the year 2030, there will be a reduction in the area occupied by a climatic habitat suitable for temperate biomes: conifer forests (–100% change relative to the area currently occupied), San Lucas pine-oak woodland (–100%), and Madrean-Transvolcanic pine-oak woodland (–34%). In contrast, climatic habitats suitable for dry biomes will expand and some will appear that do not currently exist in Tamaulipas, such as the Sinaloa–Guerrero thornscrub (+38% of the state area occupied). In the area occupied by the Biosphere Reserve “El Cielo,” suitable climatic habitat will diminish for the Gulf Coast thornscrub (–100%), tropical semievergreen forest (–100%), and cloud forest (–99%); however, suitable climatic habitat will increase inside that Reserve for the biomes chaparral (+1,703%) and Madrean-Transvolcanic pine-oak woodland (+33%). In addition, habitat suitable for the dry deciduous forest of Sinaloa will appear (+22% of the area of the Reserve, previously nonexistent). For the Biosphere Reserve “Sierra de Tamaulipas,” suitable climatic habitat will be lost mainly for the biomes chaparral (–92%) and Madrean-Transvolcanic pine-oak woodland (–89%). However, habitat suitable to the dry deciduous forest of Sinaloa will appear (66% of the area of the Reserve, which does not currently exist). Modification of the climatic habitat could imply serious challenges for the conservation and management of contemporary vegetation and may provide evidence that the in situ measures of conservation in place for these biome types in the state are insufficient, even within the Biosphere Reserves.

摘要我们分析了适应墨西哥塔毛利帕斯州生物群落的气候栖息地在当代气候(1961-1990年)下的分布,并预测到2030年的十年。这是通过以前使用R计划的随机森林和六个不同的气候模型场景对气候栖息地进行建模来实现的。到2030年,适合温带生物群落的气候栖息地所占面积将减少:针叶树森林(-100%与目前占领的地区相比发生变化)、圣卢卡斯松树-橡树林地(-100%)和马德里-火山过渡松树-橡树林地(-34%)。相比之下,适合干生物群落的气候栖息地将扩大,塔毛利帕斯目前似乎不存在一些气候栖息地,如锡那罗亚-格雷罗-桑斯克鲁布(+38%的州面积)。在生物圈保护区“天空”占据的地区,适合海湾海岸荆棘(-100%)、热带半常绿森林(-100%)和云林(-99%)的气候栖息地将减少;然而,该保护区内的Chaparral生物群(+1703%)和Madrian-Transvolcanic Pine-Oak Woodland生物群(+33%)将增加适当的气候栖息地。此外,还将出现适合锡那罗亚干燥落叶林的栖息地(+22%的保护区面积,以前不存在)。对于“Sierra de Tamaulipas”生物圈保护区来说,合适的气候栖息地将主要丧失在Chaparral(-92%)和Madrian-Transvolcanic Pine-Oak Woodland(-89%)生物群落中。然而,将出现适合锡那罗亚干燥落叶森林的栖息地(保护区面积的66%,目前不存在)。气候栖息地的变化可能对当代植被的保护和管理构成严重挑战,并可能提供证据表明,即使在生物圈保护区内,该州对这些生物群落类型采取的现场保护措施也不足。摘要在当代气候(1961-1990年)下分析了墨西哥塔毛利帕斯州有利于生物群落的气候栖息地的分布,并预测了以2030年为中心的十年。这是通过使用R计划的随机森林模块和六种不同的模型-气候情景对气候栖息地进行预先建模来实现的。到2030年,由有利于温带生物群落的气候栖息地占据的地区将减少:针叶树森林(与目前占领的地区相比,损失:-100%)、圣卢卡斯松林(-100%)和马德雷山脉和过渡火山松林(-34%)。相比之下,有利于干生物群落的气候栖息地将扩大,塔毛利帕斯目前不存在的一些气候栖息地将出现,例如锡那罗亚-格雷罗的荆棘灌木丛(收益:+38%的被占领州面积)。在“天空”生物圈保护区占领的地区,墨西哥湾沿岸多刺灌木丛(-100%)、半多年生热带森林(-100%)和山地中生林(-99%)的适当气候栖息地将减少;然而,在这一保护区内,查帕拉尔生物群落(+1703%)和马德雷山脉和跨火山松柏林(+33%)的有利气候栖息地将增加。此外,锡那罗亚干燥的落叶森林(+22%的保护区,以前不存在)将出现有利的栖息地。对于“Sierra de Tamaulipas”生物圈保护区,有利的气候栖息地将主要丧失在Chaparral生物群落(-92%)和Madre和Transvolcanic Sierra松树-橡树林(-89%)。然而,锡那罗亚的干燥落叶森林(保护区面积的66%,目前不存在)将出现有利的栖息地。气候栖息地的变化可能对当代植被的保护和管理构成严重挑战,并可能提供证据表明,即使在生物圈保护区内,该州对这些类型的生物群落的现场保护措施也不足。

Abstract We present the Late Pleistocene extinct shrub-ox, Euceratherium collinum (Bovidae), dung pellets recovered from Pontatoc Ridge Shelter, a dry alcove in the Santa Catalina Mountains of southern Arizona. The shelter is at the current upper edge of the Arizona Upland subdivision (the highest and coldest part) of the Sonoran Desert. Packrat (Neotoma) middens with macrobotanical fossils and a floor deposit consisting of midden debris and dung pellets were sampled and are described here. Six packrat middens radiocarbon date to 15,690–22,874 cal yr B.P. (calibrated years before present); dung pellets from the floor deposit date to 14,990 cal yr B.P. Macrobotanical fossils primarily from the middens but also from the floor deposit indicate that a woodland composed of Arizona cypress (Hesperocyparis [Cupressus] arizonica), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), a hybrid singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla var. fallax), border pinyon (Pinus discolor), juniper (Juniperus), manzanita (Arctostaphylos pungens), and canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis) grew outside the shelter. Dung pellets were measured, compared with other extant and extinct species, and sampled for phytoliths and pollen. Based on size, morphology, DNA, and physiographic setting (cliff face), our assumption is that only a single taxon of slickrock-climbing ruminant used the small, extremely inaccessible Pontatoc Ridge Shelter and that all large pellets belong to the extinct shrub-ox. The distribution of Late Pleistocene shrub-ox is reviewed; the stocky, rather short ruminant is recovered mainly in mountainous and canyon-county terrains of western United States and northern Mexico.

Abstract An accumulation of Pleistocene owl pellets (strigilites) containing 30 arvicoline rodent teeth was found at the Little Dell Dam fossil site outside of Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, in 1992. The accumulation was recovered in a single block of matrix with partially exposed teeth. We used high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (CT) to segment, digitally prepare, and describe teeth belonging to Allophaiomys pliocaenicus, Mictomys kansasensis, or Mictomys meltoni, and a previously recognized but unnamed morphotype of Phenacomys. Digital preparation revealed 10 associated upper or lower dentitions of those taxa. A reinterpretation of the age of the site (∼150 thousand years ago) using arvicoline rodent biochronology was made based on recent research at Cathedral Cave, Nevada. The new estimate is a much younger age for the Little Dell Dam fauna from Locality 2 than was previously reported.

La acumulación se recuperó en un solo bloque de matriz con dientes parcialmente expuestos. Utilizamos tomografía computarizada (TC) de rayos X de alta resolución para segmentar, preparar digitalmente y describir dientes pertenecientes a Allophaiomys pliocaenicus, Mictomys kansasensis o Mictomys meltoni, y un morfotipo de Phenacomys previamente reconocido pero sin nombre. La preparación digital reveló diez denticiones superiores o inferiores asociadas de esos taxones. Se realizó una reinterpretación de la edad del sitio (∼ 150 ka) usando biocronología de roedores arvicolina basada en una investigación reciente en Cathedral Cave, Nevada.

摘要1992年,在美国犹他州盐湖城外的小戴尔坝化石遗址发现了一堆含有30颗arvicoline啮齿动物牙齿的更新世猫头鹰颗粒(榴石)。堆积在一块部分露出牙齿的基质中被恢复。我们使用高分辨率x射线计算机断层扫描(CT)来分割、数字制备和描述属于Allophaiomys pliocaenicus、Mictomys kansasensis或Mictomys meltoni的牙齿,以及以前发现但未命名的Phenacomys形态。数字准备显示了这些分类群的10个相关的上或下牙列。根据最近在内华达州大教堂洞穴(Cathedral Cave)的研究,利用arvicoline啮齿动物生物年代学重新解释了该遗址的年龄(约15万年前)。新的估计是小戴尔坝动物群的年龄比以前报道的要小得多。resume Se encontró en 1992 una acumulación de regurgitaciones estrígidas del Pleistoceno (estrigilitas) que continenen 30 dientes de roedor arvicolina en sittio de fósiles de la presa Little Dell, en las afueras de Salt Lake condado de Salt Lake, Utah。La acumulación se recuperó en un solo bloque de matriz condies specialmentes exuestos。利用tomografía computarizada (TC) de rayos X de alta resolución para segment,编制数字化描述dientes pertencientes、Allophaiomys pliocaenicus、Mictomys kansasensis、Mictomys meltoni,以及morfotipo de Phenacomys preconocido perconocido的命名。La preparación digital reveló diez denticiones superior o inferies associadas de esos taxones。Se realizó una reinterpretación de la edad del sitio (~ 150 ka) usando biocronología de roedores arvicolina basada en una investigación reciente en Cathedral Cave, Nevada。这是一个非常有趣的地方más temprana para la fauna de la presa Little Dell de la localidad 2 de loque se informó teriorte。
