- CENTRAL ASIAN MAMMALS INITIATIVE: SAVING THE LAST MIGRATIONS
Species (CMS), the only treaty addressing animal migrations This publication highlights just how vital this region and the 15 large mammal species are, which are included in a new CMS Initiative to protect those animals, called the Central Asian Mammals Initiative (CAMI) The publication explains what can
- Global patterns for upper ceilings on migration distance in . . .
Maximum migration distances for sea turtles (our study) compared to other swimming, walking and flying migrants (Hein, Hou Gillooly 2011) The upper migratory ceilings for adult turtles (10 000
- A genomic timescale for placental mammal evolution | Science
The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental mammals remain controversial We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of genetic variation across an alignment of 241 placental mammal genome assemblies,
- Bat - Wikipedia
After rodents, they are the largest order, making up about 20% of mammal species [38] In 1758, Carl Linnaeus classified the seven bat species he knew of in the genus Vespertilio in the order Primates Around twenty years later, the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach gave them their own order, Chiroptera [39]
- Behavioral responses of terrestrial mammals to COVID-19 . . .
Using GPS tracking data from 2300 individual mammals of 43 species, Tucker et al documented changes in mammal movement patterns during the spring of 2020 compared with the previous year (see the Perspective by St Clair and Raymond) In locations with strict lockdown policies, animals traveled longer distances during the lockdown period
- Status, trends, and equilibrium abundance estimates of the . . .
The recovery of a species depends on increasing abundance and on recolonization of the species' former range (Lubina and Levin 1988, Swenson 1999, Moro 2003, Lance et al 2004, Tinker et al 2008b) But traditional models used to estimate and predict population sizes of recovering species typically do not include a spatial component to account
- Migrating species crucial to planet under threat, says UN - BBC
By mapping migration corridors, it is hoped that animals can be protected from human activities One of the biggest threats facing sharks and rays is being incidentally fished as bycatch
