Paruromys dominator

description: Paruromys dominator (Thomas 1921)
[Rattus] dominator Thomas 1921, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 7: 244.
Type Locality: Indonesia, N Sulawesi, Minahassa, Mt Masarang, 4000 ft (1220 m).
Vernacular Names: Giant Sulawesi Rat.
Synonyms: Paruromys frosti (Ellerman 1949); Paruromys ursinus (Sody 1941).
Distribution: Sulawesi; Tropical evergreen lowland and montane rainforests throughout the island, from sea level to tree-line.
Conservation: IUCN – Endangered as P. ursinus, otherwise Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Musser and Newcomb (1983) reviewed the taxonomic allocations of dominator from the time it was originally described as a species of Rattus (Thomas, 1921 a), through its allocation to genus Taeromys (Sody, 1941) and use as type-species of subgenus Paruromys in Rattus (Ellerman, in Laurie and Hill, 1954), up to its inclusion in subgenus Bullimus in Rattus (Misonne, 1969). Spermatozoal morphology of P. dominator is unlike species of Rattus or any other species for which data from spermatozoal morphology are available (Breed and Musser, 1991), and stomach morphology is also unique among sampled murines (Musser and Durden, 2002). Musser (1971 b) documented the association of Ellerman’s frosti with P. dominator. Sody’s (1941) ursinus, based upon specimens from the upper slopes of Gunung Lampobatang on the SE peninsula of Sulawesi, was described as a subspecies of Taeromys dominator, later included in the synonymy of that species (Musser, 1984), and subsequently recognized as a separate species (Musser and Holden, 1991; Downing et al., 1998). Recent multivariate analysis of cranial and dental traits by Musser (ms.), however, support the earlier inclusion of ursinus in P. dominator. Paruromys dominator, Maxomys muschenbroekii, and Rattus hoffmanni are the only Sulawesian murines occurring over the entire island in most forest formations (Musser and Holden, 1991).
Paruromys dominator is represented by subfossil fragments (Holocene) from lowlands of the SW peninsula (Musser, 1984) and by two lower molars recovered from late Pliocene-early Pleistocene sediments in the Walanae Formation (Downing et al., 1998). This is the earliest record of a murine from Sulawesi and joins a distinctive extinct Pleistocene fauna consisiting of giant tortoises, crocodiles, the pig Celebochoerus, and the elephants Stegodon sompoensis and Elephas celebensis; except for Paruromys, this unique assemblage is unlike the modern fauna (see review by Van den Bergh et al., 2001).

description: Active deformation and landscape evolution in North Chilean forearc involve multiscale tectonic processes, such as crustal thickening causing orogenic‐scale uplift and faulting modulating the mountain‐front landscape. In the Central Depression, faults redirecting Quaternary drainages are poorly understood due to their subtle surface expressions and limited structural data acquisition. To address this, we combined remote‐sensing analysis of high‐resolution DEMs, satellite and UAV imagery, new geomorphic mapping, structural data, and morphometric analysis with available surface age dating to identify and give temporal constraints on previously unmapped faults impacting drainages across this region. Our findings reveal the reactivation of east‐vergent NNW‐SSE reverse to transpressive and NW‐SE strike‐slip faults over approximately 100 km of latitude. Faults movement can be summarized into two main stages (a) A Late Miocene‐Pliocene stage, dominated by east‐vergent reverse faults inverting the Andean piedmont in the northern study area. (b) A Pliocene‐Quaternary stage, characterized by transpressive activity of these east‐vergent faults extending southward, alongside structures of the West Vergent Thrust System. The tectonic evolution of the east‐vergent structures relates to the ongoing deformation of the coastal forearc, encroaching into the Central Depression. Minimum vertical and strike‐slip displacement rates since the Quaternary are 12 m/Ma and 90 m/Ma, respectively, with the potential for higher rates depending on the onset of displacement. Drainage pattern modification, driven by incremental vertical displacement rates, provides insights to qualitatively evaluate individual fault activity rates. Numerous recently detected structures represent previously unknown sources of seismic hazard, requiring further dating of geomorphic markers and high‐resolution monitoring.

Species Paulamys naso (Musser 1981)
Discussion: Rattus Division. Phylogenetically most closely related to Sulawesian Bunomys as assessed by morphology (Kitchener et al., 1991 a), and the Timorese Rattus timorensis as inferred from albumin immunology (Watts and Baverstock, 1994 b); included in Bunomys by Corbet and Hill (1992). This postulated affinity between Paulamys and Bunomys needs testing by study of more extant specimens of P. naso in a phylogenetic context that would also compare the sample with species of native New Guinea, Nusa Tenggara, and Australian Rattus, along with Sulawesi Bunomys. Musser’s Floresomys is invalid because of Fries et al.’s (1955) Floresomys, an Eocene geomyoid (McKenna and Bell, 1997:181).

Distribution and habitat. Anolis brasiliensis is typical from open areas of central Brazil (Fig. 1), and it is known from the states of Pará, Tocantins, Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and in the Distrito Federal. In the Brazilian Amazonia it occurs on open vegetation enclaves at southern Pará and northern Mato Grosso states. The occurrence in Santa Cruz do Arari, Marajó Island, is considered doubtful (specimen CHUNB 08803). The Emílio Goeldi Museum has a great collection from the Marajó Island, and for decades has been inventorying the region and do not found the species. The other reason is the large geographic distance to the closest known record in the Amazonian border with Cerrado. Anolis brasiliensis is predominantly terrestrial and diurnal, inhabits gallery forest, igapó (seasonally flooded forest), and savanna areas nearby forests, where it is mainly found on the leaf litter and on tree trunks (rarely more than one meter above ground—Vanzolini & Williams 1970; Vitt et al. 2008b).

description: Information on restoration science and practice is dispersed across large numbers of scientific papers, reports, books, and other resources, and there is a lack of synthetic approaches and of linkages between ecological theory and practice. With recent calls for scaling up ecological restoration, there is an urgent need for improving the effectiveness of restoration ecology by presenting existing knowledge in an organized and accessible form. Practitioners benefit from knowing which theories explain patterns and processes in a specific ecosystem, and scientists need an overview of empirical evidence supporting current theories. Strengthening links between restoration practice and science benefits both areas. Based on a new approach used for organizing and assessing hypotheses in invasion biology, we suggest the development of an interactive online platform that promotes the integration of restoration science and practice by (1) presenting an overview of restoration ecology; (2) mapping theoretical work relevant for ecological restoration; (3) displaying direct links to relevant publications; and (4) providing summaries of empirical evidence for ecological theories in specific settings. This online knowledge base should be developed in an open process, bringing together the restoration community with experts in semantic web and natural language processing, library scientists, web designers, and other specialists. The platform should become an evolving, searchable, openly accessible, and intuitively organized tool for future ecological restoration.

description: Crystallographic fragment screening (CFS) has recently matured into an important method for the early stages of drug discovery projects. It is based on high‐throughput structure determination and thus requires a high degree of automation as well as specialized workflows and robust analysis tools. Consequently, large‐scale research facilities such as synchrotrons have embraced the method, and developed platforms to perform CFS campaigns with the help of crystallography experts and specific tools. The BESSY II synchrotron, operated by the Helmholtz–Zentrum Berlin (HZB), is one of these synchrotron facilities that offer a CFS platform, named the F2X‐facility. Here, the specialized F2X workflow is described along with the relevant differences to other existing CFS platforms, and the ongoing developments aimed at supporting users of the facility. The different stages of a CFS campaign including requirements, beamline capabilities, and the software environment are detailed and explained. A unique F2X‐GO kit is featured, which allows users the possibility of performing all sample preparation in their home laboratories. Furthermore, at the HZB a computational workflow has been built to support users beyond the hit identification stage. The advantages of the F2X‐facility at HZB are described and references are provided to successfully conduct CFS.

[Floresomys] naso Musser 1981, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 169: 112.
Type Locality: Indonesia, Nusa Tenggara (Lesser Sunda Isls), Pulau Flores, Menggarai Province, Liang Toge, cave near Warukia, 1 km S Lepa.

Distribution: Recorded only on Flores Isl.
Conservation: IUCN – Extinct (but see comments).
Discussion: Originally described from subfossil fragments (Musser, 1981 c; Musser et al., 1986), but an extant specimen collected in tropical rainforest at 1600 m from SC Flores was referred to this species by Kitchener et al. (1991 a), who suggested it is closely related to Sulawesian Bunomys. Apparently P. naso is not uncommon in forested habitats between 1000 and 2000 m on Gunung Ranaka in West Flores (Kitchener and Yani, 1998; Kitchener et al., 1998).

description: Anolis dissimilis Williams, 1965
Type-locality. Itahuania, upper Rio Madre de Dios, Madre de Dios Province, Peru.
Pertinent taxonomic references. Williams (1965, 1974), Freitas et al. (2013), Prates et al. (2014).
Distribution and habitat. Anolis dissimilis is endemic to southwestern Amazonia, restricted to the upper Purus and Madre de Dios river basins, occurring in Brazil and Peru (Fig. 2). In Brazil, it is only known from the state of Acre. It is arboreal and diurnal, inhabits areas with relatively low forest, with bamboo dominated understory (Guadua ssp.) (Icochea et al. 2001; Melo-Sampaio et al. 2013). Freitas et al. (2013) found one individual on guava tree trunk (about 4 m height) in secondary forest. Anolis dissimilis is rarely observed, which may indicate low density and/or reclusive habits.

description: The PALOMERA deliverable 5.2 Website, Communication Kit and Social Media Presence is an overview of the dedicated PALOMERA page under the OPERAS website umbrella, a guideline for the visual identity to be used in all communication/dissemination activities for the PALOMERA project and a summary of the planned social media presence via the project partners’ channels. Its strategic aim is to support the communication/dissemination activities regarding the project results and the engagement with key stakeholder groups throughout the project, as well as the impact and future exploitation of the project’s Key Exploitable Results (KERs). The document also includes the key facts and figures about the project that can be used as part of the messaging, and screenshots of the downloadable materials applicable in the communication/dissemination processes (within the Communication Kit available to the project partners via Google Drive). It has been developed as a complementary document to the deliverable 5.1 Dissemination, Outreach, Engagement, and Exploitation Plan further referred to with the PEDR acronym in the document (https://zenodo.org/record/7733579#.ZB1mNS8w17M). The current document is a first draft and will be developed further based on the project's needs.

Type Species: Mus (Pelomys) fallax Peters 1852
Synonyms: Komemys De Beaux 1924.
Species and subspecies: 5 species:
Species Pelomys campanae Huet 1888

Species Pelomys isseli de Beaux 1924
Species Pelomys minor Cabrera and Ruxton 1926
Discussion: Arvicanthis Division. Definition and phylogenetic position of Pelomys need to be reassessed in context of a systematic revision of arvicanthine murines. In overall morphology, the genus is most closely related to Mylomys and Desmomys, which in turn are members of a group also containing species of Arvicanthis, Lemniscomys, and Rhabdomys (Musser, 1987 b), an alliance corroborated by mtDNA sequences of cytochrome b and 12S and 16S rRNA gene fragments (Ducroz et al., 2001). The latter study indicated Pelomys to be most closely related to Mylomys (Ducroz et al., 2001) and some authors regard them as congeneric (e. g., Heim de Balsac and Bellier, 1967). Analysis of microcomplement fixation of albumin groups Pelomys with Lemniscomys, Rhabdomys, Grammomys, and Thallomys (Watts and Baverstock, 1995 a). Komemys is usually treated as a subgenus for P. hopkinsi and P. isseli (e.g., Delany, 1975), but we recognize it here as a synonym of Pelomys. Pelomys is represented by Pliocene and Pleistocene fossils from East Africa (Jaeger, 1976; Jaeger and Wesselman, 1976; Wesselman, 1984), South Africa (de Graaff, 1961), Algeria (de Bruijn et al., 1970; Jaeger, 1975), and outside of Africa on Mediterranean Rhodes Isl (de Bruijn et al., 1970, 1996); see review by Denys (1999). The early Pliocene record of Pelomys from Afghanistan (Sen et al., 1979) is an example of the extinct Parapelomys (Brandy et al., 1980).

Distribution and habitat. Anolis ortonii is widespread in the Amazonia, and in central–northern portion of the Atlantic Forest, occurring in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia (Fig. 4). In Brazil, it is known from the states of Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Amazonas, Roraima, Acre, Rondônia and Mato Grosso (Amazonian region), Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, and Espírito Santo (Atlantic Forest). Anolis ortonii is arboreal and diurnal, inhabits primary and secondary terra firme forests, most commonly seen in sunny areas (natural clearings, forest edge and in some perianthropic situations—Cunha et al. 1985; Ávila-Pires 1995). It is also found in inundated areas around rivers (Vitt et al. 2008a), on lichen-covered rocks in dry forest (Barrio-Amorós & Brewer-Carías 2008), and dry restinga forest (coastal vegetation—Freire 1996; Couto-Ferreira et al. 2011). Anolis ortonii is usually found on lower parts of tree trunks and on logs, and occasionally on shrubs, tree branches, and on the ground (Duellman 1978; Ávila-Pires 1995; Schlüter et al. 2004; Whitworth & Beirne 2011).

Vernacular Names: East African Pelomys.
Synonyms: Pelomys australis Roberts 1913; Pelomys concolor Heller 1912; Pelomys frater Thomas 1904; Pelomys insignatus Osgood 1910; Pelomys iridescens Heller 1912; Pelomys luluae Matschie 1926; Pelomys rhodesiae Roberts 1929; Pelomys vumbae Roberts 1946.
Distribution: Savanna habitats from S Kenya (Hollister, 1919) and SW Uganda (Delany, 1975) through Tanzania (Swynnerton and Hayman, 1951), E and S Dem. Rep. Congo, Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998), Zambia (Ansell, 1978), Malawi (Ansell and Dowsett, 1988), and Mozambique (Smithers and Lobao Tello, 1976), to E and NW Zimbabwe (Smithers and Wilson, 1979) and N Botswana (Smithers, 1971).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Appreciable variation in size and fur color exists between samples from Angola and Zambia and those from the rest of the geographic range of P. fallax, suggesting more than one species may be present in this complex. No extant records are from South Africa but the species occurred in KwaZulu-Natal more than 17,000 years before present when the region was covered with deciduous woodland instead of thornveld (Avery, 1991). Southern African Subregion population reviewed by de Graaff (1981, 1997 a) and Skinner and Smithers (1990).
