The genus Thylamys Gray, 1843 lives in the central and southern portions of South America inhabiting open and shrub-like vegetation, from prairies to dry forest habitats in contrast to the preference of other Didelphidae genera for more mesic environments. Thylamys is a speciose genus including T. elegans (Waterhouse, 1839), T. macrurus (Olfers, 1818), T. pallidior (Thomas, 1902), T. pusillus (Desmarest, 1804), T. venustus (Thomas, 1902), T. sponsorius (Thomas, 1921), T. cinderella (Thomas, 1902), T. tatei (Handley, 1957), T. karimii (Petter, 1968), and T. velutinus (Wagner, 1842) species. Previous phylogenetic analyses in this genus did not include the Brazilian species T. karimii, which is widely distributed in this country. In this study, phylogenetic analyses were performed to establish the relationships among the Brazilian T. karimii and all other previously analyzed species. We used 402-bp fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, and the phylogeny estimates were conducted employing maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML), Bayesian (BY), and neighbor-joining (NJ). The topologies of the trees obtained in the different analyses were all similar and pointed out that T. karimii is the sister taxon of a group constituted of taxa from dry and arid environments named the dryland species. The dryland species consists of T. pusillus, T. pallidior, T. tatei, and T. elegans. The results of this work suggest five species groups in Thylamys. In one of them, T. velutinus and T. kariimi could constitute a sister group forming one Thylamys clade that colonized Brazil.

Taxonomy and historical distribution of the wallaby genus Lagostrophus

The banded hare-wallaby (Lagostrophus fasciatus) is an endangered macropodid currently restricted to Bernier and Dorre Islands in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Historically, L. fasciatus was also recorded on the Australian mainland from far western Australia, where it became locally extinct early in the twentieth century. Here we discuss an overlooked museum specimen of L. fasciatus collected in the mid-nineteenth century near Adelaide, South Australia. This specimen considerably extends the known historical distribution of L. fasciatus, validates anecdotal reports of the species from South Australia made by early Australian naturalists, and forms the basis for our description of a new subspecies.

Female-biased mortality induced by male sexual harassment in a feral sheep population

In contrast to most populations of sexually dimorphic ungulates, a 3-year study revealed a tertiary sex ratio (the number of males per female at sexual maturity) strongly biased towards males in the Île Longue feral sheep (Ovis aries) population (Kerguelen subantarctic archipelago). This population presents a main winter lambing season and a secondary summer lambing period. The sex ratios of lambs and lamb carcasses were even. The skewed sex ratio of adults was therefore attributed to shorter longevity of females. We showed that (i) male monthly mortality followed a bimodal distribution with peaks corresponding to the two rutting periods. Male mortality was, however, highest during the winter even though less rutting occurred in this season than in the summer, suggesting that harsher winter conditions enhance the cost of mating competition; (ii) female mortality was related to the rutting activity of males but not to lambing. Female mortality peaked in the summer despite plentiful food resources. This period corresponds to the main rutting peak, suggesting a high survival cost of mating for females. Female mortality due to male harassment was confirmed by direct observations and examination of females injured during rutting periods. This situation may be due to a strongly male-biased operational sex ratio in the population, associated with an inability of males to establish a stable dominance hierarchy within a large flock.
