Full textAbstract:
The National Park has a diverse ecosystem for the preservation of flora and fauna, making Ujung Kulon National Park a habitat for endemic and protected fauna. Large mammals are one of the many animals found in TNUK, especially those with protected status. This study aims to determine the diversity of large mammal species in Ujung Kulon National Park. The research was conducted on September 27–29, 2022, in Ujung Kulon National Park, which is located at the western tip of Java Island, precisely in Sumur and Cimanggu Districts, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. The method used was the cruising method using exploratory descriptive data analysis. The results showed that there were two types of large mammals, namely ungulate mammals and primate mammals. The number obtained was 10 types of mammal species belonging to 7 different families. Large mammals found include Rhinoceros sondaicus, Muntiacus muntjak, Cervus timorensis, Hyolobates moloch, Presbytis comata, Trachypitecus auratus, Macaca fascicularis, Sus scrofa, Tragulus javanicus, and Bubalus bubalis. Most of the large mammals found are endemic mammals with protected status. Of the large mammals found, the most common were hoofed mammals. With this study, the public has an awareness of the importance of maintaining the diversity of fauna and flora in Ujung Kulon National Park

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this study was to contribute to the knowledge of the mammals in the state of Espírito Santo, presenting a list to the Domingos Martins municipality. Regarding the mammals inventory, data obtained from field work and through digital search by species deposited in scientific collections and available on the SpeciesLink database were used. We recorded 47 non-volant mammal species, including 12 endemic in the Atlantic Forest and nine listed as threatened. Domingos Martins, despite being undersampled when compared to other mammals inventories in the state of Espírito Santo, represents 57% of the terrestrial mammals listed in the state. This shows the potential of the municipality in relation to mammal conservation, not only in the state, but also for Atlantic Forest biome.

The purpose of this study was to carry out an inventory of medium and large-sized mammal species occurring in the Mata Atlântica State Park (MASP). Located in Água Limpa municipality, state of Goiás, the MASP occupies an important area with a seasonal forest remnant, which is considered an enclave of the Atlantic Forest within the Cerrado biome. From October 2012 to December 2013, MASP’s area was randomly surveyed for evidence of mammal presence. Records of 23 species of wild mammals were obtained, seven of them listed as nationally endangered. Medium and large-sized mammal species composition is characteristic of the Cerrado biome, and no endemic species of the Atlantic Forest were recorded. Richness and diversity of the mammal species recorded in MASP show the importance of this protected area for in situ conservation.

Full textAbstract:
The southern cone of Mato Grosso do Sul state is poorly known in terms of mammal community composition. This information is very important to propose an environmental management plan. The present study provides information on the composition of medium and large size mammals in the municipality of Batayporã, in the Ivinhema river basin, southwestern Brazil. The mammal community was sampled during 19 field sampling occasions by the identification of vestiges, such as burrows, feces, vocalization and tracks, as well as through direct observations. I recorded 24 mammal species distributed in eight taxonomic orders. Thirteen species were frequently recorded, six species were rarely recorded, and six species are considered threatened in Brazil or in global level. The area presents almost half of the medium and large-sized mammal fauna from Mato Grosso do Sul state, but fragmentation and sugarcane plantations may represent a threat to the local biodiversity conservation.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) This study presents the results of an inventory of the mammal fauna of the Estação de Preservação e Desenvolvimento Ambiental de Peti (EPDA-Peti) a reserve in the transition between the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado. Eight field campaigns (including trapping for small mammals and mist-netting for bats) were conducted between May 2002 and July 2004. Forty-six mammals belonging to eight orders were recorded. Fifteen species not recorded in previous inventories at the Station were identified; on the other hand, 14 mammals listed in previous studies were not recorded now. The most abundant small mammals at the EPDAPeti were Oligorizomys flavescens, Akodon cursor, Trinomys setosus and Bolomys lasiurus. The small mammal community from the campo rupestre (high altitude, rocky grassland) habitat is distinct from that found in the forest. In spite of the reserve's small size, mammal species' richness is relatively high. Possible reasons for this are the diversity of habitats and the fact that EPDA-Peti is located in a transitional zone between the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado.

Full textAbstract:
An inventory of resident mammal species was conducted in an ecosystem restoration concession located roughly in the geographical center of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. To assess the diversity of the resident mammalian fauna in major habitat types and to establish baselines for future monitoring programs, two camera trap surveys were implemented. The result of both surveys was similar, revealing the presence of a large variety of native mammals with 32 species of 15 different families, 56% of which are listed as either Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Endangered, or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of 2019. Overall, the encountered diversity of mammal species indicates that the surveyed concession is still comparatively intact and suitable as a habitat for native animals and confirms the importance of the area for mammal conservation in the region.

Full textAbstract:
The study area is located within the Central Karakoram National Park, nestled in the towering Karakoram mountain range. Situated at high altitude in the District of Nagar, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, this region is characterised by its rugged terrain, glaciers and snow-covered peaks. The area encompasses diverse habitats, including alpine meadows, subalpine forests and glaciated zones, which provide potential habitat for medium- to large-sized mammals. Despite its ecological significance, wildlife in this area remains understudied. Therefore, the current study aimed to document the wild mammal species of the high-altitude Hoper and Hisper Valleys.Camera-trapping surveys were conducted from April to November 2024 to record wild medium- to large-sized mammals in the study area. Thirty trail cameras were deployed across the study area, which resulted in 85 occurrence records for seven mammal species, including three carnivores, two lagomorphs, one rodent and one ruminant. All species were native, non-endemic to the region. According to the IUCN Conservation Status, <i>Panthera uncia</i> (Snow Leopard), <i>Mustela altaica</i> (Mountain Weasel) and <i>Capra sibirica</i> (Himalayan Ibex) belong to the endangered categories. Out of the seven mammals recorded in this study, five are newly documented, while the Snow Leopard and Himalayan Ibex have been previously reported from the area. The data collected from this survey provide valuable occurrence information on the mammal species present in the study area, which can serve as a baseline for monitoring and conservation efforts in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Information about large mammals in Turkey usually does not go further than species lists or annual counts of particular species such as the wild goat. Camera trapping is a very useful technique to overcome this deficiency by gathering information about species presence, numbers, habitat use and behavior. Hence, a one year long camera trap study was conducted to demonstrate the diversity, activity, distribution patterns, habitat preferences and interspecific interactions of medium and large mammals in a 148 km2 large pine woodland near Ankara. Brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus), Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), golden jackal (Canis aureus), jungle cat (Felis chaus), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), Eurasian badger (Meles meles), stone marten (Martes foina), red deer (Cervus elaphus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), brown hare (Lepus europaeus), Caucasian squirrel (Sciurus anomalus) and southern white-breasted hedgehog (Erinaceus concolor) were the 13 mammal species captured during the study.
Spatial segregation was observed among canid species indicating intraguild competition and competitive exclusion. Prey-predator interactions were documented at both spatial and temporal scales between wolves, deer and wild boars. Red deer showed seasonal and sex differences in activity patterns that appeared to be influenced by wolf predation risk.
The presence of two felids unknown to the local people were revealed by camera trapping, showing the utility of this technique for such secretive and rare species. However, the low encounter rates for particular species such as lynx, brown bear and jungle cat indicated the importance of the length of study.
Based on various evidence, resident adult population sizes were estimated for wolf (2-5), Eurasian lynx (2-4), brown bear (0-2) and jungle cat (2-3). The study showed that lynx can exist in high densities in a relatively small area when prey species are abundant.
This study area hosted a rich mammal fauna in spite of human activities such as livestock grazing, logging and hunting. A relatively intact ecosystem, high altitudinal and habitat diversity, and a positive attitude of local people are believed to be the reasons of this observed high diversity.

A Floresta Atlântica apresenta alta diversidade de mamíferos com muitas espécies endêmicas. No entanto, poucos estudos enfocam a distribuição, os padrões ecológicos e a utilização por estes animais, de ambientes alterados por ação antrópica em remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica. O Estado de São Paulo apresenta uma extensa área de reflorestamento com Eucalyptus spp mas nenhum estudo sobre a exploração destes ambientes pelas espécies de mamíferos silvestres havia sido realizado neste Estado. Este estudo desenvolvido em um mosaico formado por remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica em contato com plantios de E. saligna teve o objetivo de verificar a riqueza, a composição específica e a diversidade das espécies de mamíferos existentes na área, com especial atenção para o uso dos plantios de E. saligna pelos animais estudados. Para a coleta de pequenos-mamíferos utilizou-se armadilhas do tipo gaiola e pitfalls. Para o registro do uso dos plantios de E. saligna por mamíferos de médio e grande portes utilizou-se, durante 36 noites, parcelas de areia. Ambos os métodos foram utilizados nos três ambientes que compõem a paisagem local: floresta contínua, fragmentos circundados pelos plantios de E. saligna e os próprios plantios. Na área de estudo foram registradas 47 espécies e dentre estas, espécies ameaçadas de extinção como Puma concolor e Myrmecophaga trydactyla, espécies raras em levantamentos como Brucepattersonius igniventris e Monodelphis brevicaudata e uma nova ocorrência para o Estado de São Paulo: Blarynomys breviceps. Durante nove meses de coleta de pequenos mamíferos com um esforço amostral de 7290 dias-armadilhas e 3888 dias-pitfall, foram realizadas 537 capturas de pequenos mamíferos. As espécies com maior abundância relativa em ambientes de floresta nativa foram: Philander frenata, Oryzomys russatus e Marmosops incanus. Nos plantios de E. saligna, Oligoryzomys nigripes foi responsável por 55 % da abundância relativa de pequenos mamíferos. A diversidade de espécies foi semelhante nos dois ambientes de floresta nativa e menor nas plantios de E.saligna. Dentre os mamíferos de médio e grande portes, felinos utilizaram em maior proporção os plantios de E. saligna estudados. Os registros mais frequentes nas parcelas de areia foram de Mazama sp seguido por Tapirus terrestris. Estes resultados mais o atual contexto de fragmentação e degradação da Floresta Atlântica demonstram que os plantios de E. saligna na Fazenda João XXIII, se devidamente manejados, podem ser localmente importantes na conservação de mamíferos não-voadores, visto que este ambiente é utilizado como habitat ou mesmo para deslocamento por muitas espécies verificadas na área.<br>The Atlantic Forest presents high endemism, diversity and richness. However, with the continuous devastation it became one of the most endangered ecosystems of the world. In spite of the high diversity of mammals with many endemic species, the distribution, the ecological patterns and the use of altered environments are practically ignored. The State of São Paulo presents an extensive reforestation area with Eucalyptus spp. However, any studies about the species of mammals that explore this environment were realized. This study was developed in Fazenda João XXIII, located in Pilar do Sul City - São Paulo State, where the landscape is characterized by a mosaic of fragments surrounded by Eucalyptus saligna plantations and an extensive area of Atlantic Forest continuous to Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho. The goal of this study was to survey the species of mammals and to verify its richness and diversity in the forest remainders and in the E. saligna plantations. During nine months of study with a sampling effort of 7290 trap-day and 3888 pitfall-day, 537 captures of small mammals were accomplished. Sand plots were used during 36 nights, to record the use of E. saligna plantations by medium and large size mammals. All methods were used in the three environments that are present the local landscape: continuous forest, fragments surrounded by E. saligna and E. saligna plantations. In the studied area, 47 mammal species were registered. Among these, species listed as endangered such as Puma concolor and Myrmecophaga tetradactyla; rare species in inventories such as Brucepattersonius igniventris and Monodelphis brevicaudata; and the Blarynomys breviceps, a new occurrence for the State of São Paulo. The higher relative abundance of small mammals verified at continuous forest, were the marsupials Philander frenata, and M. incanus, and the rodent Oryzomys russatus. The same species were also found as more abundant in the fragments surrounded by eucalyptus plantations. And in the eucalyptus plantations, Oligoryzomys nigripes was responsible for 55% of the relative abundance of small mammals. The diversity of species was similar in both sampled areas of native forest and lower in the eucalyptus plantations. Among the medium and large size mammals, L. pardalis and Leopardus sp used the eucalyptus plantation in larger proportion than other environments. The species more frequently registered in the plots of sand was Tapirus terrestris. In the present context of fragmentation and degradation of the Atlantic Forest, the eucalyptus plantations in Fazenda João XXIII represent an important role in the local conservation of the species of mammals, because most of these species use this environment as habitat or even for displacement.

Regarding richness, only FA and PP arriving near expected values, based on the hypothesis that richness would be the maximum number of species sampled in all environments. As for the number of records, based on the hypothesis that the number of records is proportional to the sampling effort, the pinus plantation had a lower number than what was expected, while the forest, the observed and expected values were very close. Already in the open areas and edges more records were obtained from mammals than expected, actually occurred because of the facility to collect fecal samples at these sites when compared to interior forest habitats. The group on the more general use of these environments was that of felids, probably related to the large area of life... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)<br>Mestre

As for the number of records, based on the hypothesis that the number of records is proportional to the sampling effort, the pinus plantation had a lower number than what was expected, while the forest, the observed and expected values were very close. Already in the open areas and edges more records were obtained from mammals than expected, actually occurred because of the facility to collect fecal samples at these sites when compared to interior forest habitats. The group on the more general use of these environments was that of felids, probably related to the large area of life... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on transcriptomes. A transcriptome is the inventory of the RNA molecules in a cell. The chapter differentiates between proteomes and genomes. It explains the relationship between microarray technology and RNAseq methods, including the gene expression table and how it is derived from experiments using these methods. It clarifies the types of applications for which microarrays are suitable. The chapter points out that transcriptomics could be used in the study of changing gene expression patterns in different physiological states and to work out the genes and proteins responsible for specific features of a phenotype. It notes the general features of the correlation of gene expression patterns with development in Drosophila melanogaster. The chapter also considers that transcriptomics are being used to study the molecular biology of higher mental processes in mammals, such as learning and the evolution of human language abilities.

Full textAbstract:
A plot of the number of parks and other terrestrial protected areas established around the world over the past 100 years exhibits near-exponential growth, with marine parks following a similar trend. This is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of sustaining natural systems worldwide. Yet, at the same time an expanding human population and the desire of all people for a more prosperous life have resulted in unprecedented rates of deforestation and habitat conversion. Accompanying these changes has been the spread of invasive, non-native species (including new disease organisms) to virtually all parts of the globe. With recent assessments placing 12% of the world’s birds, 23% of mammals, and 32% of amphibians in danger of extinction (Baillie et al., 2004), conservationists feel a justifiable sense of panic. Any attempt to measure the full extent of the current biodiversity crisis is made immensely more difficult by our astounding lack of knowledge about the species that share this planet with us. For example, we do not know within an order of magnitude the number of species currently present on Earth (May, 1988, 1992; Novotny et al., 2002); estimates range from 3 to more than 30 million species, of which only 1.5–1.8 million have been described to date. Not surprisingly, our inventory of the more charismatic groups of organisms, such as birds, mammals, and butterflies, is vastly more complete than our inventory of insects, arachnids, fungi, and other less conspicuous but no less important groups. If we ask the logical follow-up question—what proportion of known (described) species is in danger of extinction?—we run into a similar barrier. While organizations like the World Conservation Union (IUCN) have prepared reasonably complete assessments for a few groups, notably the charismatic vertebrates, most species are too poorly known to assess. Even within the USA only about 15% of the species catalogued to date are sufficiently known to be given any sort of conservation rank, such as endangered or not endangered (Wilcove and Master, 2005); among invertebrates that value drops to less than 5%. Compounding this shortfall of data is an equally serious shortfall of money.

Full textAbstract:
Theodore Roosevelt National Park (THRO) in western North Dakota was established for its historical connections with President Theodore Roosevelt. It contains not only historical and cultural resources, but abundant natural resources as well. Among these is one of the best geological and paleontological records of the Paleocene Epoch (66 to 56 million years ago) of any park in the National Park System. The Paleocene Epoch is of great scientific interest due to the great mass extinction that occurred at its opening (the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event), and the unusual climatic event that began at the end of the epoch (the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, an anomalous global temperature spike). It is during the Paleocene that mammals began to diversify and move into the large-bodied niches vacated by dinosaurs. The rocks exposed at THRO preserve the latter part of the Paleocene, when mammals were proliferating and crocodiles were the largest predators. Western North Dakota was warmer and wetter with swampy forests; today these are preserved as the “petrified forests” that are one of THRO’s notable features. Despite abundant fossil resources, THRO has not historically been a scene of significant paleontological exploration. For example, the fossil forests have only had one published scientific description, and that report focused on the associated paleosols (“fossil soils”). The widespread petrified wood of the area has been known since at least the 19th century and was considered significant enough to be a tourist draw in the decades leading up to the establishment of THRO in 1947. Paleontologists occasionally collected and described fossil specimens from the park over the next few decades, but the true extent of paleontological resources was not realized until a joint North Dakota Geological Survey–NPS investigation under John Hoganson and Johnathan Campbell between 1994–1996. This survey uncovered 400 paleontological localities within the park representing a variety of plant, invertebrate, vertebrate, and trace fossils. Limited investigation and occasional collection of noteworthy specimens took place over the next two decades. In 2020, a new two-year initiative to further document the park’s paleontological resources began. This inventory, which was the basis for this report, identified another 158 fossil localities, some yielding taxa not recorded by the previous survey. Additional specimens were collected from the surface, among them a partial skeleton of a choristodere (an extinct aquatic reptile), dental material of two mammal taxa not previously recorded at THRO, and the first bird track found at the park. The inventory also provided an assessment of an area scheduled for ground-disturbing maintenance. This inventory is intended to inform future paleontological resource research, management, protection, and interpretation at THRO. THRO’s bedrock geology is dominated by two Paleocene rock formations: the Bullion Creek Formation and the overlying Sentinel Butte Formation of the Fort Union Group. Weathering of these formations has produced the distinctive banded badlands seen in THRO today. These two formations were deposited under very different conditions than the current conditions of western North Dakota. In the Paleocene, the region was warm and wet, with a landscape dominated by swamps, lakes, and rivers. Great forests now represented by petrified wood grew throughout the area. Freshwater mollusks, fish, amphibians (including giant salamanders), turtles, choristoderes, and crocodilians abounded in the ancient wetlands, while a variety of mammals representing either extinct lineages or the early forebearers of modern groups inhabited the land. There is little representation of the next 56 million years at THRO. The only evidence we have of events in the park for most of these millions of years is isolated Neogene lag deposits and terrace gravel. Quaternary surficial deposits have yielded a few fossils...

Full textAbstract:
This study used a combination of field surveys, historical data, literature review, and formal methods to assess the biodiversity and habitat integrity of vertebrates, excluding mammals at Barrett?s Farm unit (BFU). A one season full inventory of the herpetofauna was completed in 2023. The herpetological survey documented ten species commonly found in Massachusetts (4 frogs, 1 toad, 2 salamanders, 1 snake and 2 turtles), with only one species (Lithobates pipiens, Leopard Frog) being seen in large numbers. Several species (Ambystoma maculatum, Spotted Salamander; Dryophytes versicolor, Gray Treefrog; Chelydra serpentina, Snapping Turtle) were only recorded once during the survey. While no additional inventories were performed, data on several additional vertebrate groups (birds, fish) were examined using historical and participatory science data. Additional assessments included wetland health using amphibians as a metric, examining vegetative communities, and observations of other organisms (mammals, arthropods). The vertebrate faunal communities of the BFU are of mixed condition. The AmphIBI index of wetland health was conducted on the wetland areas within the unit and found that all but one were in poor health. The remaining wetland that was rated ?superior health? can be attributed to low sample size of organisms and is not reflective of the site. The avian community at the unit is interesting as it includes 163 species and is one of the more heavily birded sites in Middlesex County. Formal assessment for breeding forest birds yields a ?cautious? rating while a similar process for grassland birds yielded a poor rating. The fish community assessment lacked historical data and participatory science data, so the condition could not be assessed. The habitat at the farm is extremely disturbed from the active farming that occurs, and the edges of the property are heavily colonized by invasive plants, so perhaps the poor quality of the faunal communities is unsurprising. Several data gaps exist including the lack of assessment of arthropod communities, fish communities, and mammal communities. Additionally, more directed studies of the wetland areas within the unit would be beneficial.

Full textAbstract:
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are an integral part of the ecological and cultural fabric of northwest Alaska. Western Arctic Herd (WAH) caribou roam this entire region, including all 5 Arctic Network (ARCN) Inventory and Monitoring Program?s National Park units. Conservation of healthy caribou populations is specifically mentioned within the enabling legislation (Alaska National Interested Lands Conservation Act) for 3 of these units and is of importance to subsistence hunters. Caribou are, by far, the most abundant large mammal in northwest Alaska and are famous for their long-distance migrations and large population oscillations. For these reasons, ARCN chose WAH caribou as a Vital Sign for long-term monitoring. We document monitoring results of this Vital Sign during its 15th year (September 2023?August 2024). Results from the previous years are also included for ease of comparison. Periodic syntheses of these data will be performed and reported on. National Park Service (NPS) monitoring of the WAH is done in conjunction and cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG). This report includes data funded by the ADFG dating back to September 2013. This year was chosen because it is when the ADFG started deploying a substantial number of Global Positioning System (GPS) collars on an 8-hour relocation schedule. Monitoring of the herd relies heavily on the use of GPS collars capable of transmitting location data to a satellite. Given the extremely remote area that the WAH inhabits, this system provides the most efficient and accurate means to track individual caribou. These data are utilized to monitor the timing and location of migrations, as well as seasonal distributions of WAH caribou. Monitoring movement and its phenology is perhaps the simplest means to track the influences of climate change, natural perturbations, development, and other potential impacts?which is outside the scope of this report. This report also documents the NPS commitment and involvement with the WAH Working Group. The group is composed of important stakeholders including representatives for rural villages, sport hunters, conservationists, hunting guides, hunting transporters, and reindeer herders. In addition, all the agencies charged with managing the WAH, including the ADFG, NPS, US Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management, serve as advisors to the group. Information gathered by the Caribou Vital Sign monitoring program is intended to supplement and complement existing data streams gathered by the other cooperating agencies and will be important in future management decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Originally designated as a national monument in 1923, Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA) is recognized for its exceptional pink-orange hoodoo landscapes. Its iconic hoodoos, consisting of the Paleocene?Eocene Claron Formation, are only part of the geology of BRCA, which includes a nearly uninterrupted sequence of Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway evolution and diverse depositional environments from approximately 100 to 77 million years ago. This sequence consists of the coastal Naturita Formation, the marine Tropic Shale, the transitional Straight Cliffs Formation, and the terrestrial Wahweap Formation. These strata, and the Claron Formation, preserve diverse paleontological resources. Fossils at BRCA have received little visibility for most of the park?s history, despite relatively rapid advances in the study of Late Cretaceous and Paleogene paleontology in neighboring public lands, especially Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) to the east. The best documentation of paleontological resources at BRCA was produced through concerted field inventory of the park conducted by Dr. Jeff Eaton and several cohorts of interns and students from 1988 to 2015. In that time, Eaton?s team documented nearly 200 paleontological localities within the park that yielded clams, snails, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, dinosaurs, and mammals from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations and invertebrates, plants, and trace fossils in the Claron Formation. Eaton?s survey resulted in several publications, including the description of new microvertebrate species from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations. Despite this body of work, the park did not develop an internal paleontological resources management program. A new paleontological resources program at BRCA was advanced in response to construction activities that impacted several fossil localities in the Wahweap Formation. Newly hired paleontological staff conducted two seasons of field inventory (2022?2023), relocating as many of Eaton?s sites as possible and recording new fossil occurrences along the way. In this timeframe, BRCA paleontologists encountered more than 150 localities. They also conducted detailed literature review, examined the park?s paleontological collections data, and cultivated partnerships with outside researchers to better comprehend the current state and future potential of the park?s paleontological resources. This document synthesizes the total current body of knowledge on paleontological resources at BRCA to create a comprehensive paleontological inventory report. It combines historical data from the scientific literature, previous work conducted in the park, and recent fieldwork to cover BRCA?s geologic history and fossil diversity and the history of paleontological study, education, and resources management in the park.

Full textAbstract:
Channel Island National Park (CHIS), incorporating five islands off the coast of southern California (Anacapa Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island), has an outstanding paleontological record. The park has significant fossils dating from the Late Cretaceous to the Holocene, representing organisms of the sea, the land, and the air. Highlights include: the famous pygmy mammoths that inhabited the conjoined northern islands during the late Pleistocene; the best fossil avifauna of any National Park Service (NPS) unit; intertwined paleontological and cultural records extending into the latest Pleistocene, including Arlington Man, the oldest well-dated human known from North America; calichified “fossil forests”; records of Miocene desmostylians and sirenians, unusual sea mammals; abundant Pleistocene mollusks illustrating changes in sea level and ocean temperature; one of the most thoroughly studied records of microfossils in the NPS; and type specimens for 23 fossil taxa. Paleontological research on the islands of CHIS began in the second half of the 19th century. The first discovery of a mammoth specimen was reported in 1873. Research can be divided into four periods: 1) the few early reports from the 19th century; 2) a sustained burst of activity in the 1920s and 1930s; 3) a second burst from the 1950s into the 1970s; and 4) the modern period of activity, symbolically opened with the 1994 discovery of a nearly complete pygmy mammoth skeleton on Santa Rosa Island. The work associated with this paleontological resource inventory may be considered the beginning of a fifth period. Fossils were specifically mentioned in the 1938 proclamation establishing what was then Channel Islands National Monument, making CHIS one of 18 NPS areas for which paleontological resources are referenced in the enabling legislation. Each of the five islands of CHIS has distinct paleontological and geological records, each has some kind of fossil resources, and almost all of the sedimentary formations on the islands are fossiliferous within CHIS. Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island, the two smallest islands, are primarily composed of Miocene volcanic rocks interfingered with small quantities of sedimentary rock and covered with a veneer of Quaternary sediments. Santa Barbara stands apart from Anacapa because it was never part of Santarosae, the landmass that existed at times in the Pleistocene when sea level was low enough that the four northern islands were connected. San Miguel Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island have more complex geologic histories. Of these three islands, San Miguel Island has relatively simple geologic structure and few formations. Santa Cruz Island has the most varied geology of the islands, as well as the longest rock record exposed at the surface, beginning with Jurassic metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks. The Channel Islands have been uplifted and faulted in a complex 20-million-year-long geologic episode tied to the collision of the North American and Pacific Places, the initiation of the San Andreas fault system, and the 90° clockwise rotation of the Transverse Ranges, of which the northern Channel Islands are the westernmost part. Widespread volcanic activity from about 19 to 14 million years ago is evidenced by the igneous rocks found on each island.
