Abstract The occurrence of anomalous coloration (albinism, leucism and melanism) in mammals is a rare phenomenon in nature, but this phenomenon has been reported for several species of mammals. In this study, we report on the occurrence of leucism in Eira barbara by examining three road-killed individuals and two sightings of live animals in Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Santuário do Caraça, southeastern Brazil. In addition, we examined tayra specimens housed in mammal collections from Brazil and USA. The animals found dead and those sighted had a whitish yellow fur on the body and head, resulting in lighter coloration than the coloring pattern commonly observed in tayras. Despite these lighter color pattern, the specimens showed parts of soft... |

We report the results of small mammals inventories conducted in the region of Jaíba, northern Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil, from 1990 to 1995. This region is located in the southern limit of the Caatinga biome, and harbors a unique set of natural ecosystems and extensive agricultural areas. With a total effort of 2964 trap-nights and 44 net sessions, we captured 893 small mammals from 46 species, including four marsupials, 13 rodents, and 29 bats. We report on species that are endemic to the Caatinga (Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos and Xeronycteris vieirai), and species that are new to the mammal fauna of the state of Minas Gerais (Tonatia saurophila, X. vieirai, and Myotis lavali). We also provide the first valid voucher-supported record of... |

The complete karyotype of Noctilio albiventris cabrerai is described on the basis of specimens from the northern Pantanal region of central Brazil. The G-banded karyotype comprises a diploid number (2n) of 34, an autosomal fundamental number (FNa) of 62, and respectively submetacentric and acrocentric X and Y chromosomes. Active nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were located in pair 12. C-banding showed constitutive heterochromatin in the pericentromeric regions of all autosomes and in the X chromosome. Differences were found with respect to specimens from Honduras, referable to N. a. minor, which had a pair of autosomes with totally heterochromatic short arms, and from Colombia, referable to N. a. affinis, which had a metacentric X chromosome. |
