Life History Chart of Game, Fur, and Predatory Mammals in Missouri Missouri's Mammals In numbers of species, mammals (in the phylum Chordata) are the second smallest group of vertebrate animals in Missouri. One mammal, however, takes up more space in Missouri than any other: humans. All mammals are endothermic ("warm-blooded") and most species have hair. Mammals have mammary glands, which, in females, produce milk to feed young. Nearly 70 species of wild mammals live in Missouri. Another six species no longer occur naturally in Missouri, including gray and red wolves, bison, white-tailed jackrabbit, Ozark big-eared bat and elk. The smallest are the masked shrew and least shrew at 2 3/4 inches long; they each weigh the same as a penny. The largest mammal in Missouri is the black bear at 6.5 feet long and a weight of up to 600 pounds. Special Topics: Mountain Lions in Missouri?

Rural Affairs Committee CONSULTATION ON THE PROTECTION OF WILD MAMMALS (SCOTLAND) BILL This Bill (SP Bill 10) was introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 1 March 2000. The Rural Affairs Committee has been given the lead role in reporting on its general principles. At the meeting of 4th April the Committee agreed to seek evidence on the Bill from the organisations listed in Annex A . All written comments are to be returned by 5pm on Friday th August 2000 The Committee anticipates taking further oral evidence at meetings after this date. Other written submissions received from representative organisations, will be reported upon and made available for inspection in the Parliament’s Information Centre. All other evidence received, from individuals and other organisations will be read to determine whether it is generally in favour of, or opposed to the general principle of the Bill, held on file for inspection by Members and the number for and against the general principles of the Bill reported to the Committee. Further analysis and reporting of views received will depend on the level of response. Evidence by e-mail ( ) or on computer disk (using Word97 on 3½" disk) would assist the Committee greatly, however you may also post any submissions to:

SEARCH Crafts for Kids Coloring Pages DLTK Teach ... Sites for Teachers Mammals are one of the 6 main classes of animals. Animal classes are groups of animals that scientists consider to be alike in some important ways. Mammals are the animal class that people belong to. There are only about 4,000 kinds of mammals. This sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are 21,000 kinds of fish and a whopping 800,000 kinds of insects you’ll realize mammals are a pretty small class! Here are some of the ways that mammals are alike! Mammals are warm blooded. The temperature could be freezing cold or boiling hot, but mammals’ bodies are built to maintain just about the same temperature all the time. Warm blood lets the mammals be very active and live in a wide variety of places. Mammals are everywhere. Polar bears live in very cold areas. Camels live in hot areas. Moles live under the ground. Bats live in caves and fly in the air. Dolphins live in the oceans. Fur and fat help protect mammals who live in the cold. Mammals sweat or pant to release extra heat if they live somewhere toasty. Take a Break!

Terrestrial Mammals of the Arctic The Arctic and Its Wildlife Facts on File excerpts from pages The total number of species of land mammals occurring in the Arctic is 48 (Appendix 2 shows their distribution in the Soviet Union, North America and Greenland). The nomenclature used here follows Corbet (1978) for the Soviet Union (with minor chages as indicated) and Chapman and Feldhamer (1982) for North America and Greenland. The number of species occurring in each country is Canada 31, Alaska 29, Soviet Union 33 and Greenland 9. It can be seen that out of a world total of about 4,000 species, the variety of terrestrial mammals in the Arctic is low and consists of slightly modified shrews, hares, rodents, wolves, foxes, bears and deer. Some Aspects of Distribution According to Guthrie (1968), the number of small mammal species present in the tundra seems to have increased considerably since the glaciations of the late Pleistocene, primarily by immigration from more southern locations, while the number of large mammals has declined. It can be seen that four groups of small mammals (shrews, hares, sciurid rodents and microtene rodents) occur regularly in Arctic tundra, although their distribution does not always correspond entirely to the distribution of that habitat. Some of the species are tundra-specific and, according to Hoffman and Taber (1968), evolved in central Eurasia during the early pleistocene and migrated to North America.

General Information Sample (Order ... Contents Walker's Mammals of the World Online is an improved version of the pre-eminent short reference work on mammals. "[A]mong the great reference works of all time," Ronald H. Pine called it in American Mammalogist . "[A] classic work in mammalian systematics...." wrote American Reference Books Annual , and Reference Books Bulletin called it "[A]n outstanding work of scholarship...." Walker's Mammals of the World Online is the first such work on mammals published as a searchable, full-text, online resource; it has over 2000 images, and includes over 150,000 embedded internal hypertextual links. Navigational and contextualizing enhancements make the online version far more useful than the print reference work. If you are from a non-subscribing campus, or are not subscribed individually, we are currently providing free access to the Order Chiroptera (Bats), so that readers can get a sense of the utility of the online resource. The navigational aids and finding tools (tables of contents, geographic distribution lists, search engine, and the like), accessible via the consistent user interface (such as the working version above), will be free for all users for the foreseeable future, though the entries themselves will not be. Individual subscriptions are available for $45 per year, or $30 per 6 months. School-, campus-, or institution-wide subscriptions are the most useful in an academic context: every campus-connected computer has password-free access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in dorms, offices, the library, the computer rooms. The base campuswide subscription is $600/year. For more information on institutional subscriptions, consortial discounts, or other questions, contact

Sniffing Out Social and Sexual Signals Triggers of Innate Behavior Pheromones and Mammals New Imaging Techniques That Show the Brain at Work Progress Continues HHMI Home A Secret Sense in the Human Nose: Pheromones and Mammals pheromones, a kind of chemical signal originally studied in insects. The first pheromone ever identified (in 1956) was a powerful sex attractant for silkworm moths. A team of German researchers worked 20 years to isolate it. After removing certain glands at the tip of the abdomen of 500,000 female moths, they extracted a curious compound. The minutest amount of it made male moths beat their wings madly in a "flutter dance." This clear sign that the males had sensed the attractant enabled the scientists to purify the pheromone. Step by step, they removed extraneous matter and sharply reduced the amount of attractant needed to provoke the flutter dance. When at last they obtained a chemically pure pheromone, they named it "bombykol" for the silkworm moth, "Bombyx mori" from which it was extracted. It signaled, "come to me!" from great distances. "It has been soberly calculated that if a single female moth were to release all the bombykol in her sac in a single spray, all at once, she could theoretically attract a trillion males in the instant," wrote Lewis Thomas in
