#2025MMM March 20 R2: The Only Ones & Roots/Relicts_Part 2 of 2

Next Up: 1-seed Addax (Addax nasomaculatus) vs. 8-Seed Spotted-necked Otter (Hydrictis maculicollis, previously Lutra maculicollis) #2025MMM

— Katie Hinde (@mammalssuck.bsky.social) 2025-03-21T00:56:22.383Z

Addax rely mostly on moisture from grasses, fobs, adn leaves of small bushes for their hydration, rarely encountering free-standing water in their desert habitat. (Krausman & Casey 2007) #2025MMM

Addax is at risk of extinction, w/ <300 individuals in the wild. Armstrong et al. (2010) studied a captive Addax population at the Parque Lecocq Zoo & found low genetic diversity & high inbreeding—a risk for conservation! #2025MMM doi.org/10.1002/zoo.20341

Although routinely catching fish, especially trout, half of Spotted-necked Otter's meals are crabs & frogs. Less frequent culinary delights include beetles, dragonfly larvae, birds, and rodents (Perrin & Carugati 2000) #2025MMM

"The Spotted-necked Otter (Hydrictis maculicollis) used to be called ""Lutra maculicollis"" in case you got confused — they are handsome devils and have 2n=40 chromosomes, making them only otter species with >38 chromosomes! #2025MMM doi.org/10.1644/0.71… http://www.mammaldiversity.org/taxon/100584&#8230;

Tonight we once again return to the Tin Toumma desert of north central Niger, a part of the greater Sahara desert region, where the prevalent winds have created epic dune fields and a few remaining addax still roam #2025MMM

MEANWHILE in his riverine system of KwaZulu-Natal, our combatant Spotted-necked Otter is returning to the water from a trip to the toilet on shore and encounters a familiar otter in his bachelor group and begins chasing him… (Reed‐Smith et al. 2014) #2025MMM

Abberrantly off course on her spring migration, as sometimes happens (Strandberg et al. 2010) and circling slowly, a marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) glides closer above the lone mustelid… strength nearly spent, the raptor lands near Spotted-Necked Otter. #2025MMM

HORSESHOE CRABS are commonly observed along beaches of the U.S. Atlantic Coast & Gulf of Mexico in spring when they come on shore to spawn (lay eggs). Spawning aggregations can be very impressive with thousands of animals coming on shore during high tide events. #2025MMM http://www.fws.gov/species/atla&#8230;

Gars have a GC-compartmentalized genome, resembling mammals rather than other fish. This challenges the idea that GC heterogeneity arose with amniotes. Their metabolism may have driven DNA thermostability and genome evolution, supporting the metabolic rate hypothesis #2025MMM doi.org/10.1002/jez….

ALLIGATOR GAR is on the river bottom, temporarily free from the pressure of anglers who have to stop fishing 30 mins after sunset. Though her size (350 lbs/159 kg) prevents her from being retained, she is still vulnerable to the stress of catch & release #2025MMM tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/…

As solitary creatures, pumas have unique ways of communication. When they visit the same location as a previous puma, they can exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, including caterwauling (a.k.a. SCREAMING), to try and communicate long-distance. (Allen et al., 2013) #2025MMM

MANED WOLF has a dispersed social system that is mostly solitary. To communicate, they rely on signals that carry over long distances to avoid conflicts with each other, eg, barking, visual threat displays & "locus-specific defecation" AKA pooping to define their territory (Klieman 1972) #2025MMM

The Maned Wolf (C. brachyurus) has the longest legs of any canid! But what genes drive this extreme phenotype? A genomic study of it & its short-limbed cousin, the bush dog, found that B4GALT7 may play a key role in their striking limb length differences. #2025MMM http://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/&#8230;
