Ferreira","doi":"10.7325/galemys.2020.a5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7325/galemys.2020.a5","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Species identification of non-invasively collected samples using molecular genetics tools has become an important tool in ecological research. For decades, scat-based ecological studies were almost exclusively rooted in morphological identification of scats, within local context, in the field. However, this approach raised a controversial debate, due to species and context-specific probability of error and lack of validation. In this study, we aimed to test the accuracy of mesocarnivore scats identification, based on morphological criteria, using a carnivore guild in northeastern Portugal as a model and molecular identification as a standard for accuracy of morphological identifications, within local context. While using only expert-based identifications for comparison with molecular identification standard, we have also compared the identifications performed by observers with different levels of experience. We extracted DNA from 63 scats (NE Portugal), which was successfully amplified/sequenced from 83% (n= 52) of the extracts: 38 were molecularly assigned to red fox (Vulpes vulpes), eight to stone marten (Martes foina), two to pine marten (Martes martes) and domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and one to European badger (Meles meles) and common genet (Genetta genetta). There was a tendency for better performance by more experienced researchers, with 67% of scats being correctly assigned, but differences among observers were not significant. Due to the small sample size, only for foxes and stone martens was possible to estimate the error rate in species assignment, based on morphological criteria. False positive rates (% of times a scat was misassigned to a given species) were 4% for fox samples and 62% for stone marten. False negative rates (i.e. the rate at which a scat of a given species was assigned to another species) reached 29% for fox (scats that were initially assigned to stone marten and domestic dog were in fact from fox) and 25% for stone marten (originally misassigned to weasel, Mustela nivalis), respectively. The results support the need to implement molecular methods in ecological studies based on scat identification, so researchers can determine the error rates associated with morphological discrimination to develop accurate monitoring studies.

Abstract Based on the preserved historical documentation of catches of wolves, the population dynamics of the species are estimated, between the XIVth and XVIIth centuries, in five places on the Iberian Mediterranean coast: Tortosa, Castello de la Plana, Monover, Orihuela and Baza. It is observed in these places that the wolf enters in a process of saturation and decrease in catches that can be linked to human repopulation and the occupation of the territory that begins in the Late Middle Ages. The continuous increase along the coast of the number of new settlers, had as a consequence the expansion of the occupied space, which surely altered the habitat occupied by the wolf, and facilitated its pursuit and capture.

Estos factores pueden ser utilizados para ayudar a definir y desarrollar estrategias de control de la tuberculosis, determinar densidades de poblacion y en un futuro gestionar programas de vacunacion. En este estudio se analizan los datos obtenidos tras la captura de 49 tejones durante el periodo 2015-2017 y se describe la eficacia de captura en relacion a las siguientes variables: estacion del ano, temperatura del aire, precipitacion, numero de trampas-noche y diferentes habitats de trampeo. La mayor tasa de captura (2,76 tejones/100 trampas-noche) se obtuvo a final del invierno-principio de primavera, lo que podria estar relacionado directamente con la disponibilidad de alimento. Entre los tejones adultos, el porcentaje de hembras capturadas fue superior (63%) al de machos (37%), lo que podria estar relacionado con una mayor implicacion de las hembras en la busqueda de alimento. En el entorno de las tejoneras se obtuvieron mejores tasas de captura y no se encontro significacion estadistica con respecto a las variables meteorologicas estudiadas.

Abstract Understanding factors affecting the number of badgers (Meles meles) captured around the setts, latrine and passage areas, is of considerable application in a context of animal tuberculosis research. These factors could be used to define and develop strategies to control tuberculosis, to estimate badgers densities and, in the future, to manage vaccination programs. This study analyzes the trappability of 49 badgers from 2015 to 2017 and describes the capture rate in comparison with these variables: season of the year, meteorological temperature and precipitation, number of night traps and different trapping habitats. The highest capture rate (2.76 badgers/100 night traps) was obtained in late winter-early spring, which could be directly related to the availability of food. Among the adult badgers captured, the females were trapped in higher proportion (63%) than males (37%), which could be related to a greater involvement of the females in the search for food. The best capture rate was obtained around of the setts and no statistical significance was found with respect to the meteorological variables studied.

{"title":"The role of the montane water vole (Arvicola scherman) as a crop pest in NW Spain: since when?","authors":"A. Somoano","doi":"10.7325/galemys.2020.n1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7325/galemys.2020.n1","url":null,"abstract":"61 The montane water vole, Arvicola scherman (Shaw, 1801), mainly inhabits meadows, grasslands and fruit orchards (Giraudoux et al. 1997, FichetCalvet et al. 2000) of the main mountainous areas of Europe (Kryštufek et al. 2015 and reference therein). This species lives underground in extensive burrow systems (Airoldi 1976), consuming both epigeic and hipogeic parts of plants (Airoldi 1976, Kopp 1993). Due to its relatively high energy demand, each individual should daily ingest the equivalent of its body mass in food (Quéré 2009). As a consequence, important damage to grasslands, fruit orchards (apple, cherry, plum and pear trees) (Meylan 1977, Somoano et al. 2016) and annual crops (Braña 2001) can occur, but also damages to kiwi trees and grass silages may be observed (Somoano 2017). Additionally, vegetation is covered by earth mounds because of its activity, which interferes with farming practices (Meylan 1977). It was as a result of first records of A. scherman in NW Spain when agricultural damages produced by this species were well described (García-Dory 1974, Noval 1976, 1981, Nores 1986). The first study on A. terrestris (read A. scherman) reported its presence in the Cantabrian Mountain range (Niethammer 1964). Shortly after, a study of barn owl (Tyto alba) pellets from Picos de Europa (Heim de Balsac & Beaufort1 969) verified the existence of established populations of this species in Asturias, Cantabria and Galicia. By the same methodology, A. scherman was revealed to occur in a relatively wide distribution in Asturias (Braña 1974, Nores 1989). Also in 1970s, Garzón-Heydt et al. (1971) and Gosálbez (1976) detected this species in mountains of Los Ancares (Galicia) and in southern Cantabrian Mountain range (Castilla y León) respectively. However, it could be probably that crop damages caused by A. scherman in Cantabrian mountain range had been historically well-known by farmers before the species was described (García-Dory 1974). The presence of montane water voles in the NW Iberian Peninsula goes back to the Mousterian (Middle Palaeolithic, about 39,110 years BP) as showed the dentitions of several specimens found in Cueva del Conde, an archaeo-palaeontological deposit located in Asturias (Lopez-García et al. 2011). In Upper Paleolithic, this species seemed to be present along NW coastal Spain, from Donostia to at least Oviedo (García-Ibaibarriaga et al. 2013). Nevertheless, there seems to be no information on agricultural damages caused by montane water voles until the beginning of the XVII-century. In that sense, the first reported case encountered to date which suggests crop losses arguably caused by montane water voles occurred in uplands from Villaviciosa (Asturias) between 1616 and 1622 (Fig. 1). The author, Gaspar de Villarroel (1738), mentioned an overabundance of mice that cut down the fruit trees and crops, with negative consequences for farmers. It is worth noting that, far from applying demographic control practices, protecti","PeriodicalId":143015,"journal":{"name":"Galemys, Spanish Journal of Mammalogy","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122272744","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}
