Extractions: Johnny Birks of The Vincent Wildlife Trust The polecat, the mammalogists' spiritual equivalent of the quintessentially Welsh Red Kite, is recovering well in Britain. That is one conclusion from a major study recently published by The Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT). The report, The Distribution and Status of the Polecat Mustela putorius in Britain in the 1990s, by Johnny Birks and Andrew Kitchener, includes a review of previous distribution surveys, the findings of a new survey, development of a method to monitor variations in abundance based on live-trapping by volunteers, a summary of the relationship between polecats and ferrets, and a description of a study of polecat ecology on lowland farmland in England (part of which was carried out in Worcestershire). The VWT distribution survey produced over one thousand records from the 1990s, 68% of which were road casualties. Many of these were collected by naturalists (thanks to all who helped in Worcestershire) for us to confirm their identity as either true polecats or ferret hybrids. Records of true polecats came from 228 'new' 10-km squares (several of which were in Worcestershire), confirming continuation of the encouraging recovery after near-extinction at the beginning of this century. Worcestershire is now completely repopulated by true polecats (a process which probably began in the far west of the county in the 1960s), although feral ferrets and hybrids will always occur from time to time as a result of ferrety escapes or releases.

Extractions: PICK UP A POLECAT! How to help with the joint Mammal Society/VWT Polecat Distribution Survey 2004-2006 Johnny Birks The Mammal Society is joining forces with The Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT) to organise a three-year polecat distribution survey of Britain. Starting in January 2004 and running until the end of 2006, the survey will involve examination of polecat bodies (usually road casualties) or clear photographs of bodies collected by naturalists and members of the public. We need to check specimens to decide whether they are true polecats, ferrets or hybrids. This distribution survey is separate from the polecat and mink abundance monitoring exercise organised by the VWT every autumn. The aim of the distribution survey will be to confirm the presence of polecats in as many 10km squares as possible over the three year survey period. So as to spread recording effort efficiently we aim to collect evidence of no more than two good polecat bodies from each square (so dont be offended if we decline offers of bodies once a 10km square is full!). On the basis of anecdotal reports of the polecats continuing recovery in Britain we expect the survey results will confirm a significant range expansion since the last survey finished in 1997. We are also interested in recording the distribution of feral ferrets and polecat-ferret hybrids in Britain, so photographs or bodies of these, as well as polecats, will be welcomed. The inclusive nature of this survey means that people need not worry about distinguishing between the different forms before collecting bodies. As with the previous survey in the 1990s we hope to involve the National Museums of Scotland in curating the polecat material collected during the survey.

http://www.sbap.org.uk/focal/mammals/polecat.htm

Extractions: Mustela putorius Linnaeus, 1758 The polecats most distinctive feature is the mask-like pattern of dark and light facial markings. The larger males weigh about 2kg and are up to 2 feet in length. Polecats occur in many habitat ranges including farmland, conifer plantations, scrub, broadleaved woodland, wetlands and river valleys also at coastal dunes and cliffs. They have a variety of resting places, using underground burrows and holes, under trees, rockpiles and woodstacks. In winter they den in barns farm buildings and outhouses. Polecats are carniverous and will eat pretty much anything they can catch and kill including small mammals, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. They are also known to eat fruit and honey. Polecats also feed on carrion and this may be a reason for high numbers of polecat roadkills. Both sexes become sexually mature a year after their birth, typically one litter per year of 4-6 young born in late May / early June. With the young achieving independace from their mother after three months. 1. Selection Criteria

We can measure them with reference to the normal keeping environment of laboratory animals or to the environment of their wild counterparts; in doing so we might form quite different conclusions. The environment of the average laboratory animal is clearly less complex than that of its wild counterpart, yet for many burrow-living species the average amount of visual and auditory stimulation may be higher in the laboratory (Milligan et al.

Extractions: Calf and mother enjoying an undisturbed life on this land An introduction to the key mammals living on the Working for Wildlife reserves There are several key mammal species now occurring on Working for Wildlife reserves, which the general public love to see in the wild and are keen to learn and understand more about. Unfortunately, many of these mammals are threatened throughout the British countryside by habitat loss and destruction, building and road development, intensive agriculture, pollution and human persecution including hunting, snaring and shooting. All animals on Working for Wildlife reserves can live free from deliberate persecution and harm. Charities such as Working for Wildlife, and the work that they do, are essential to ensure the continuing survival of these populations for the enjoyment and understanding of future generations, and to contribute to the biodiversity of our most important habitats.

http://www.wcs.org/international/Asia/mongolia

Extractions: The grassland steppe of Eastern Mongolia represents one of the largest intact grazing ecosystems remaining on the planet. Mongolian gazelle herds on the steppe represent the last great migration spectacle in Asia, and one of the largest in the world. WCS has been working on the Eastern Steppe since 1989, with collaboration from our Asia Program, Science and Exploration Program , and now our Living Landscapes Program, to promote conservation and management of the Mongolian gazelle and other wildlife. Historically, human impact has been low on the Mongolian steppe, which is sparsely populated by nomadic herders. However, in recent years, some nomadic pastoralists have become more sedentary, spending many months each year near towns and villages, instead of moving to new grazing areas in summer. This has led to overgrazing in some areas. Gazelle are hunted for both subsistence and commercial purposes, but past hunting practices have been poorly managed leading to the slaughter of tens of thousands of gazelles but little material benefit to the local people.
