Fresh samples of squirrels may not be needed for analyses of gene sequences. We have identified voucher specimens by catalog numbers and the establishments the place they are museumbali.org stored. Hairs or bits of dry tissue from those specimens would possibly yield viable DNA to be employed in analyses to substantiate or modify our template of species-diversity. Results of surveys for small mammals in the east-central peninsula will also be necessary for testing the endemic stature of the west-central region. Currently, 23 species of small mammals have been found within the western mountain block and nowhere else on Sulawesi (see above).

9/8/44 FEAF B-24’s pound Langoan A/ F. B-25’s hit Galela and Tobelo while B-24’s bomb Lolobata and P-47’s attack Kaoe A/F and AA positions, Djailolo A/F and barges at Point Lelo. FBs and A-20’s hit airstrips and T/Os at Efman, Samate, Babo, Urarom, Manokwari, Moemi, and Ranski. A-20’s and B-26’s hit Urarom A/F and FBs attack Moemi and hit Napido. The Gorontalo macaque is listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN, 2015) showing on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species.

 

The Nonendemic Squirrels Reported From Sulawesi

 

Specimen scores representing four population samples of Hyosciurus heinrichi projected onto the primary and second principal parts extracted from principal-components analysis. Ellipses define 95% confidence limits for scores of specimens from Gunung Nokilalaki (N, crammed circle), Gunung Kanino (K, star), Pegunungan Latimojong (L, filled triangle), and Pegunungan Takolekaju (T, crammed square). Three samples we studied aren’t included in the principal-components evaluation. Specimens from Wawo and Masembo in lowlands of the southwestern peninsula (see gazetteer) have badly damaged skulls and we measured solely the lengths of maxillary tooth rows.

 

Collection localities are scattered over the peninsula from the coastal plain close to sea level at the northeastern tip (Likupang and Teteamoet, localities 1 and a pair of on the map in fig. 11) to Bumbarujaba (locality 25) near the southern margin of the peninsula. Most localities lie between the coastal plain and a thousand m in what still is or as quickly as was tropical lowland evergreen rainforest habitats. The site at 1700 m in montane forest on Gunung Ile-Ile locality is the exception and the highest elevation recorded for any sample of the species. An extraordinary group of proficient individuals unselfishly contributed their time and efforts to our project. Chris Smeenk (RMNH) searched through the gathering at Leiden for all the kind specimens of squirrels, provided measurements, and instructed which of those specimens must be acknowledged as holotypes, lectotypes, and paralectotypes.

 

Additional and bigger samples from each the northern peninsula and the central core are required to reply these questions that bear on unraveling the attainable significance of the morphometric variation we doc among the many current geographic samples. For Miller and Hollister, the name necopinus identified USNM samples from the central core of Sulawesi. In the graph of specimen scores projected onto the first and second principal elements extracted from principal-components analysis illustrated in determine 32, the only striking departure from a single constellation of scores is the score representing the animal from Gunung Lehio, the holotype of necopinus.
