The earliest modern mongoose (Carnivora, Herpestidae) from Africa (late Miocene of Chad)

Die Naturwissenschaften, 2005
We report on the earliest modern mongooses of Africa, from the late Miocene (ca. 7 Ma) of the hominid locality TM 266, Toros-Menalla, Chad. The material is based on fragmentary dentitions of three individuals. The main diagnostic feature of the Chadian species is the great development of the shear in the carnassials, which distinguishes the Chadian ...

Small Indian Mongoose Herpestes auropunctatus (Herpestidae, Carnivora): an invasive species in Montenegro

Biological Invasions, 2010
Since its first appearance in the second half of the 1980s, the Small Indian Mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) has spread along the entire coastline of Montenegro, from the Croatian border in the north to the Albanian border in the south. Its present range includes an area of 447.3 km2 and is limited to the narrow coastal zone up to 300 m above sea ...

Systematic status and biogeography of the Javan and small Indian mongooses (Herpestidae, Carnivora)

Zoologica Scripta, 2006
The Javan and small Indian mongooses, ranging from the Middle East to South‐east Asia, are considered as two species or as a single species, varying in size and colour from west to east. In order to clarify their systematic status and to define the limits of their ranges, Cytochrome b sequences were obtained from 27 specimens, and localities of 392 ...

A tale of two African mongooses (Carnivora: Herpestidae): differing genetic diversity and geographical structure across a continent

Mammalian Biology, 2022
Phylogeographies of African mammals reveal patterns that correlate with Pleistocene environmental fluctuations and geographical barriers, which may affect species differently according to their habitat preferences and dispersal capabilities. The marsh mongoose Atilax paludinosus, a widely distributed African carnivoran, is a good model to compare with ...

A craniometric comparison of the African and Asian mongooses in the genus Herpestes (Carnivora : Herpestidae)

mamm, 1999
Les mangoustes du genre Herpestes (au sens de Wozencraft 1989) d'Afrique et d'Asie ont ete examinees pour determiner si elles peuvent etre groupees en sous-genres ou genres, tels que Galerella, Herpestes et Urva, d'apres des mensurations craniometriques.

Isolation of thogoto virus (Orthomyxoviridae) from the banded mongoose, Mongos mungo (Herpestidae), in Uganda.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1999
Small wild vertebrates were trapped during an investigation into possible vertebrate reservoirs of o'nyong-nyong (ONN) fever virus in Uganda in 1997. Antibody neutralization test results and virus isolation attempts were negative for ONN virus, confirming the work of earlier investigators, who also failed to find evidence for a nonhuman ONN virus ...

Topography of the chorda tympani nerve and the tensor tympani muscle in carnivores provides a new synapomorphy for Herpestidae (Carnivora, Mammalia)

Journal of Morphology, 2009
AbstractThe topographical relationship of the chorda tympani nerve (chorda tympani) to the tensor tympani muscle in the middle ear of carnivores provides new phylogenetic information. The examination of histological serial sections of 16 carnivore species representing most families revealed two distinct character states concerning the course of the ...

Phylogeography of the white‐tailed mongoose (Herpestidae, Carnivora, Mammalia) based on partial sequences of the mtDNA control region

Journal of Zoology, 2008
AbstractThe phylogeography of the white‐tailed mongooseIchneumia albicaudais examined using phylogenetic analyses based on partial sequences of the mitochondrial control region. The phylogeny is used to: (1) Analyse the phylogeographic pattern ofI. albicauda; (2) discuss the existing delimitation of subspecies; (3) test if the coloration of the tail ...
