Abstract:
... Three caves in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Culberson County, Texas, are closely grouped spatially, and their fossil-bearing sediments are about the same late Pleistocene age. Publications concerning two of the caves, Upper Sloth Cave and Lower Sloth Cave, list and discuss their fossil faunas. Here, we add identifications of mammals from the third site, Dust Cave, and briefly comment on sele ...

Abstract:
... Three fossil Neomys specimens from the middle Pleistocene Shanyangzhai cave sediments of Qinhuangdao city, Hebei Province, China were assigned to the fossil species of Water Shrew, Neomys bohlini. The specimens show some characteristics, such as large size, condylar joint separation, and ascending ramus tilt, which are obviously different from Crocidura and Sorex. Remains of fossil Neomys are very ...

The red shrew fossils include Sorex araneus, Sorex minutus, Sorex minutissimus and Sorex cf. mirabilis. S. minutus is reported for the first time in Middle Pleistocene sediments in China. It is smaller than S. araneus. S. minutissimus is the first find in China. Base ...

Abstract:
... Madagascar is home to some of the world’s most unique plants and animals. Unfortunately, anthropogenic forest loss has had a dramatic impact on both floral and faunal communities. In many regions the scale and timing of this loss remains poorly constrained. Such is the case for northwestern Madagascar. Pollen records for this region suggest that fires and grass abundance increased around 1000 cale ...

Abstract:
... The small-mammal assemblages associated with the fossil human remains of the Sima del Elefante site provide the best tool for estimating the age for the first appearance of Homo during the Early Pleistocene of Western Eurasia. Sima del Elefante (TE) is part of the archaeo-palaeontological complex known as the Atapuerca cave-sites, in Burgos, Spain. In 2007, the lower levels of Sima del Elefante yi ...

Abstract:
... Two species of shrews and four species of bats are described for Late Pleistocene fossils from Térapa, Sonora, Mexico. Shrews include Notiosorex and an indeterminate genus and species of Soricidae. Bats include several vespertilionids (Lasiurus, Antrozous pallidus, and Myotis) and a molossid (Tadarida brasiliensis). Previous interpretations based on evidence from sediments and other fossils at Tér ...

Abstract:
... The downstream transport of sediments and organics and upstream migration of anadromous fishes are key ecological processes in unregulated riverine ecosystems of the North Pacific coast, but their influence on wildlife habitats and populations is poorly documented. Removal of two large hydroelectric dams in Washington's Elwha Valley provides an unprecedented opportunity to study long‐term response ...

For the first time, the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) were characterized in the tissues of wild small mammals living in contaminated sites near a municipal solid waste landfill (Moscow, Russia). The Ural field mice Sylvaemus uralensis, the bank voles Clethrionomys glareolus, and the common shrews Sorex araneus were trapped at 1- and 5-km distances from the ...

Abstract:
... The concrete walls of check dams are considered a physical barrier for aquatic and semiaquatic animals that inhabit mountain streams. Traveling behaviors around concrete check dams by the Japanese water shrew Chimarrogale platycephalus, a semi-aquatic mammal, were directly observed via radio-tracking in Kamikoshi Stream in central Honshu, Japan. Traveling behaviors were mainly observed on the wet ...
