For two years, we collected weekly samples of almonds consumed by the species and analyzed its spatial and temporal patterns. We also compared almonds consumed with the production of the crop to assess possible damages. The results reveal a marked seasonal pattern of almond consumption, which begins in mid-June, peaks in mid-July and declines towards the beginning of the harvest season in early October. The mean number of almonds consumed was 1.3 ± 0.4 almonds/m2, and consumption was restricted to a 20-metre-wide band in the ecotone of the pine forest to the crop. We appreciate that this amount of consumption is insignificant when compared to the crop production in large cultivation plots, but the damage may be important in small ones. We discuss different hypotheses (edge effect and refuge-distance effect) to explain why almond consumption occurs only in the ecotone. Finally, we propose almonds consumption as a new presence index of this species in areas where red squirrels coexist with the crop.

Fifteen years after the last elaboration of the distribution atlas, it was likely that this forest species had expanded in step with the increase in forest mass in the province. The results show that the species has expanded in the province, increasing its distribution range between 24.8% and 27.7% and almost tripling the number of UTM grid squares. The species has colonised the region of Antequera, the mountains of the Arco Calizo Central and the banks of the Genil River in the north of the province. To the south it has expanded towards the urban environments of the city of Málaga and has begun its expansion towards the west. In the extreme northeast, the species has made less progress, colonising some new areas just beyond the limits of the Sierra Tejada, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park. Most of the new populations are geographically closer to the population at Montes de Málaga, which seems to have served as the main source population. In the eastern area, subtropical crops seem to function as a barrier limiting further expansion. We propose and discuss a series of hypotheses regarding the origin of the population and the need to undertake future studies of historical, genetic, and epidemiological distribution models.","PeriodicalId":143015,"journal":{"name":"Galemys, Spanish Journal of Mammalogy","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114978891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated whether there were differences in the frequency and age and sex distribution between areas, and whether any differences might be related to their environments (acquired) or were heritable (congenital). Variability included hyperdontia and hypodontia (more or fewer teeth than is normal), persistence (presence of deciduous teeth in adults), rotation and malposition (teeth deviations from the vertical or horizontal axes, respectively), diastema (abnormal space between two teeth), injuries, tooth loss, and tartar. Acquired variability such as tartar and injuries were significantly more frequent in the WP, which might have been due to differences in diet between the areas (e.g., in WP, rooting was considerable). Among the congenital, the areas differed significantly in the frequency of diastema, which might have been a hereditary characteristic in the MEV. Overall, the incidence of rotations (100%) and malposition (90%) were high, which suggests that these are characteristics of the dentition, rather than abnormalities. Among the congenital, diastema (and the frequently associated hypodontia) was the most common, which we interpret as an incipient adaptation towards a reduction in the number of teeth as a response to a shift to a predominantly vegetarian diet.","PeriodicalId":143015,"journal":{"name":"Galemys, Spanish Journal of Mammalogy","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114838642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
