Abstract

On the flanks of > 6000 m Andean volcanoes that tower over the Atacama Desert, leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis vaccarum) live at extreme elevations that surpass known vegetation limits. The diet of these mice in these barren, hyperarid environments has been the subject of much speculation. According to the arthropod fallout hypothesis, sustenance is provided by windblown insects that accumulate in snowdrifts ("aolian deposits"). Mice may also feed on saxicolous lichen or forms of cryptic vegetation that have yet to be discovered at such high elevations. We tested hypotheses about the diet of mice living at extreme elevations on Atacama volcanoes by combining metagenomic and DNA metabarcoding analyses of gut contents with stable isotope analyses of mouse tissues. Genomic analyses of contents of the gastrointestinal tract of a live‐captured mouse from the summit of Volcán Llullaillaco (6739 m) revealed an opportunistic but purely herbivorous diet, including lichens. Although we found no evidence of animal DNA in gut contents of the summit mouse, stable isotope data indicate that mice from elevations at or near vegetation limits (~5100 m) include a larger fraction of animal prey in their diet than mice from lower elevations. Some plant species detected in the gut contents of the summit mouse are known to exist at lower elevations at the base of the volcano and in the surrounding Altiplano, suggesting that they may occur at higher elevations beneath the snowpack or in other cryptic microhabitats.

Abstract

The Quaternary glaciations had great impacts on the historical biogeography of small mammal species. Recent studies have showed the effects of these climatic cycles on the diversification of several Neotropical rodents, but these have focused on species whose distributions do not encompass the tropical Andes. Thus, the influences of these climatic dynamics on the evolutionary history of tropical Andean rodent species remain unknown. The effects of these climatic changes were addressed on Aepeomys lugens and A. reigi, two Thomasomyine endemics from the Cordillera de Mérida in the Venezuelan Andes. The past potential geographic distribution of both species was inferred using an ecological niche modeling approach. The estimations obtained indicated that the availability of the suitable climatic conditions for these taxa has varied in size and location during the last 140,000 years. The spatial projection of the niche models onto the climatic scenarios explored indicates that the effects over the historical distributions were smaller in A. lugens than in A. reigi. These results show that the current geographic distribution of both Andean rodents conceals complex biogeographic histories, and characterizations of the demographic history and genetic diversity will be required to understand the evolution of the genus Aepeomys in the Andes.

19. Elevational range extension of the Puna Mouse, Punomys(Cricetidae), with the first record of the genus from Chile

Author

Quiroga-Carmona, Marcial, Storz, Jay F, and D’Elía, Guillermo

Abstract

We report an elevational record for the Andean sigmodontine Puna Mouse Punomys, which is also the first record of the genus in Chile. The record is based on a mummified specimen that we discovered at an elevation of 5,461 m (17,917 feet) in the caldera of Volcán Acamarachi, Región de Antofagasta, Chile. Results of a morphological assessment suggest that the specimen can be provisionally referred to the species P. lemminus. This new record also extends the known geographic distribution of the genus by 700 km to the south and brings the known Chilean mammal richness to a total of 170 living species and 88 genera. This finding highlights the need for increased survey efforts in more remote, high-elevation regions and demonstrates that there is still much to be learned about the mammal fauna of the Andean Altiplano.We report a noteworthy elevational and latitudinal range extension for the puna mouse, genus Punomys, based on the finding of a mummified mouse at an elevation of 5,461 m in the caldera of Volcán Acamarachi, Región de Antofagasta, Chile.

29. Evidence of a population of leaf-eared mice Phyllotis vaccarumabove 6,000 m in the Andes and a survey of high-elevation mammals

Abstract

Biologists have long pondered the extreme limits of life on Earth, including the maximum elevation at which species can live and reproduce. Here we review evidence of a self-sustaining population of mice at an elevation that exceeds that of all previously reported for mammals. Five expeditions over 10 years to Volcán Llullaillaco on the Argentina/Chile border observed and collected mice at elevations ranging from 5,070 m at the mountain’s base to the summit at 6,739 m (22,110 feet). Previously unreported evidence includes observations and photographs of live animals and mummified remains, environmental DNA, and a soil microbial community reflecting animal activity that are evaluated in combination with previously reported video recordings and capture of live mice. All of the evidence identifies the mouse as the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis vaccarum, and it robustly places the population within a haplotype group containing individuals from the Chilean Atacama Desert and nearby regions of Argentina. A critical review of the literature affirms that this population is not only an elevational record for mammals but for all terrestrial vertebrates to date, and we further find that many extreme elevations previously reported for mammals are based on scant or dubious evidence.

Abstract

Quaternary climate and associated vegetational changes affected the fauna of the Chilean Mediterranean ecosystem. Here we studied the genetic variation of the longhaired mouse, Abrothrix longipilis, a sigmodontine rodent endemic to this area. Within an environmentally explicit context, we examined the geographic distribution of the genetic diversity and demographic history of the species based on sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome-b gene of 50 individuals from 13 localities and a large panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms of 17 individuals from 6 localities. The gene genealogy of A. longipilis revealed three intraspecific lineages that are allopatric and latitudinally segregated (northern, central, and southern lineages) with an estimated crown age for the whole species clade of 552.3 kyr B.P. A principal component analysis based on 336,596 SNP loci is in line with the information given by the the mitochondrial gene genealogy. Along its complete distributional range, A. longipilis showed patterns of isolation by distance and also isolation by environment. The general pattern of historical demography showed stability for most intraspecific lineages of A. longipilis. Northern and central lineages showed signals of historical demographic stability, while the southern lineage showed contrasting signals. In agreement with this, the niche models performed showed that in the northern range of A. longipilis, areas of high suitability for this species increased towards the present time; areas of central range would have remained relatively stable, while southern areas would have experienced more change through time. In summary, our study shows three distinct allopatric lineages of A. longipilis, each showing slightly different demographic history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CVULA I��� 8547, an adult male, collected on March 12, 2011 (dentition shown in Fig. 3). Both obtained in the type locality, and prepared as skulls and mandibles (which are in good conditions, except for the left angular process which is broken in CVULA I��� 8546) plus ethanol-preserved bodies. Measurements in Table 1. Etymology. The species name aroensis [Aro(a) + ensis] is a toponym meaning ���from Aroa.��� Diagnosis. A member of the C. thomasi group (for characters defining this group, see Choate 1970; Woodman et al. 2003; and below in description). Pelage rich grayish brown. Pinnae almost as broad as high, and therefore visible frontally. Anterior border of zygomatic plate in line and above the metastyle of M 1, and posterior border in line and above the paracone of M 3. Palate at the level of the second molars narrower than that of any other known member of the C. thomasi group (M 2 B averaging 5.5 mm; Table 1). In occlusal view of the posterior palate, a small part of the nasal cavity and the ethmo-turbinals can be observed at each side of the vomer, which is the only bone of the roof of the mesopterygoid fossa penetrating the choanae. Lacrimal foramina wide and deep. A minute foramen on the posterior edge of the tympanic process of each petromastoid. U 1, U 2, and U 3 with posterolingual cuspules. U 4 small to medium-sized for a member of the C. thomasi group. U 4 labially placed, thus U 4 visible in lateral view. Upper molars conspicuously pigmented. M 3 complex, and nearly as wide as M 2. Bicuspulate lower incisors, each with a poorly developed, almost imperceptible, anterior cusp separated from the posterior cusp by a shallow anterior notch. Description. External and craniodental measurements, and body masses of the holotype, and the 2 paratypes, are shown in Table 1. External characters (Fig. 1).���A medium-sized and long-tailed member of the C. thomasi group (mean HB> 72 mm is a diagnostic character for members of the C. thomasi group; Woodman et al. 2003), HB averaging 79.0 mm, and tail averaging 46 % of HB (Table 1). General coloration rich grayish brown. Long (about 6���7 mm), luxuriant fur (a diagnostic character for members of the C. thomasi group; Woodman et al. 2003). Hairs bicolored, with gray bases and brown tips. Dorsal pelage darker and brighter than ventral pelage, but lacking a clear dorsoventral demarcation. Tail unicolored. Muzzle with 8 or 9 pairs of postnasal warts, and with mystacial vibrissae reaching the ears. Upper half of philtrum with a smooth, long and narrow wart.

Tail covered with short and coarse hairs, and with small scales (averaging 32 per cm) lacking sharp edges. Cranial and mandibular characters (Fig. 2).���Nasal openings narrow (rectangular-shaped in occlusal view), fully encased laterally by the premaxillary bones. In occlusal view, zygomatic plate with its anterior border in line and above the metastyle of M 1, and its posterior border in line and above the paracone of M 3. Palate short (PL averaging 9.1 mm; Table 1), and very narrow at the level of M 2 (M 2 B averaging 5.5 mm; Table 1). Posterior branch of maxillary process aligned over the mesostyle of M 3, and not in touch with the posterior border of palate. Lacrimal foramina wide and deep. Apertures formed by the combined foramen rotundum and inferior orbital fissure of each side (Gaughran 1954) wide and ovoid, located posteriorly on alisphenoids. Ovale foramina wide. The vomer is the only portion of the roof of the mesopterygoid fossa penetrating the choanae, thus, in occlusal view, a small part of the nasal cavity and the ethmo-turbinals can be observed at each side of the vomer (Fig. 3). Petromastoids each with a short, thin, and low anterior process. Posterior border of tympanic processes of petromastoids each with a minute foramen that is posterior in position to the paraoccipital process.

U 4 small to medium-sized for a member of the C. thomasi group, of approximately circular contour in occlusal view, and labially placed, thus, if cranium is rotated sideways as necessary, U 4 visible in lateral view. P 4 with an anteriorly well developed and well pigmented parastyle, and a well pigmented protocone. M 1 with the anterior element of ectoloph shorter than the posterior element (a diagnostic character for members of the C. thomasi group; Woodman et al. 2003). M 1 and M 2 having well-developed and intensely pigmented protocones, little developed and unpigmented hypocones, and precentrocristae and postcentrocristae with fully developed and very high labial sides. M 3 complex (mesostyle, postcentrocrista, and metacone conspicuous), and nearly as wide as M 2. Bicuspulate lower incisors with dark red terminal halves, each with a poorly developed, almost imperceptible, anterior cusp separated from posterior cusp by a shallow anterior notch. Lower molars as follows: m 1 and m 2 with well-developed and pigmented entoconids and hypoconids; m 3 having an elongated talonid, a high and pigmented hypoconid, and a high and posteriorly well-developed hypoconulid. Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 5). Cryptotis aroensis is most likely an endemic species to the highlands of the Sierra de Aroa, in northwestern Venezuela. Comparisons. The morphometric values to which we refer in the comparisons are taken from Table 1, and from the sources mentioned above (Materials and methods). In the comparisons, we enumerate as morphometric differences only measurements whose means are significantly different (in each case we indicate p -values) between the new species and other members of the C. thomasi group. There is 1 unique distinguishing character of C. aroensis that, for the sake of brevity, we do not repeat in the comparisons that follow. Namely, the species has a very narrow palate at the level of molars, i.e., the mean value of M 2 B of C. aroensis is significantly (p p << 0.01, depending on the species) smaller than the M 2 B values of all other species of the C. thomasi group, with the exception of C. peruviensis, of which only 2 specimens are known (M 2 B is smaller but p is not significant). Moreover, the individual M 2 B values of the 3 specimens of C. aroensis (Table 1) fall below the range of the individual M 2 B values of the 146 specimens of the 10 species (including C. peruviensis, and C. squamipes) of the C. thomasi group for which cranial measurements are available (for the M 2 B value of the holotype of C. squamipes, see Allen 1912). Comparison with Cryptotis sp.

Abstract

We report a predation event of a Northern Grass Mouse (Necromys urichi) by a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium brasilianum) in the Cordillera de la Costa, northern Venezuela. The event consisted in the observation of an adult Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl holding with both legs an individual of N. urichi, which had already been decapitated and partially eaten. Glaucidium brasilianum eats insects and small vertebrates, and it is also able to capture and consume preys such as birds and mammals that exceed its size. In view of the behaviour of G. brasilianum and the high abundance that N. urichi exhibited in the montane ecosystems of the Cordillera de la Costa, it is likely that this rodent represents an important item in the diet of this owl, which neotropical populations are poorly known.

Abstract

Our understanding of the limits of animal life is continually revised by scientific exploration of extreme environments. Here we report the discovery of mummified cadavers of leaf-eared mice, Phyllotis vaccarum , from the summits of three different Andean volcanoes at elevations 6,029–6,233 m above sea level in the Puna de Atacama in Chile and Argentina. Such extreme elevations were previously assumed to be completely uninhabitable by mammals. In combination with a live-captured specimen of the same species from the nearby summit of Volcán Llullaillaco (6,739 m) 1 , the summit mummies represent the highest altitude physical records of mammals in the world. We also report a chromosome-level genome assembly for P. vaccarum that, in combination with a whole-genome re-sequencing analysis and radiocarbon dating analysis, provides insights into the provenance and antiquity of the summit mice. Radiocarbon data indicate that the most ancient of the mummies are, at most, a few centuries old. Genomic polymorphism data revealed a high degree of continuity between the summit mice and conspecifics from lower elevations in the surrounding Altiplano. Genomic data also revealed equal numbers of males and females among the summit mice and evidence of close kinship between some individuals from the same summits. These findings bolster evidence for resident populations of Phyllotis at elevations >6,000 m and challenge assumptions about the environmental limits of vertebrate life and the physiological tolerances of small mammals. Storz et al. report the discovery of desiccated cadavers ('mummies') of Andean leaf-eared mice on the summits of several >6000 m Atacama volcanoes, elevations that were assumed to be uninhabitable by mammals. Genomic and radiocarbon data shed light on the origin of the mummies and provide a new understanding of the limits of vertebrate life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

40. Species limits and hybridization in Andean leaf-eared mice ( Phyllotis ).

Abstract

Leaf-eared mice (genus Phyllotis ) are among the most widespread and abundant small mammals in the Andean Altiplano, but species boundaries and distributional limits are often poorly delineated due to sparse survey data from remote mountains and high-elevation deserts. Here we report a combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA variation and whole-genome sequence (WGS) variation in Phyllotis mice to delimit species boundaries, to assess the timescale of diversification of the group, and to examine evidence for interspecific hybridization. Estimates of divergence dates suggest that most diversification of Phyllotis occurred during the past 3 million years. Consistent with the Pleistocene Aridification hypothesis, our results suggest that diversification of Phyllotis largely coincided with climatically induced environmental changes in the mid- to late Pleistocene. Contrary to the Montane Uplift hypothesis, most diversification in the group occurred well after the major phase of uplift of the Central Andean Plateau. Species delimitation analyses revealed surprising patterns of cryptic diversity within several nominal forms, suggesting the presence of much undescribed alpha diversity in the genus. Results of genomic analyses revealed evidence of ongoing hybridization between the sister species Phyllotis limatus and P. vaccarum and suggest that the contemporary zone of range overlap between the two species represents an active hybrid zone., Competing Interests: CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT The authors declare no conflicts.

41. Diet of Andean leaf-eared mice ( Phyllotis ) living at extreme elevations on Atacama volcanoes: insights from metagenomics, DNA metabarcoding, and stable isotopes.

Abstract

On the flanks of >6000 m Andean volcanoes that tower over the Atacama Desert, leaf-eared mice ( Phyllotis vaccarum ) live at extreme elevations that surpass known vegetation limits. What the mice eat in these barren, hyperarid environments has been the subject of much speculation. According to the arthropod fallout hypothesis, sustenance is provided by windblown insects that accumulate in snowdrifts ('aolian deposits'). It is also possible that mice feed on saxicolous lichen or forms of cryptic vegetation that have yet to be discovered at such high elevations. We tested hypotheses about the diet of mice living at extreme elevations on Atacama volcanoes by combining metagenomic and DNA metabarcoding analyses of gut contents with stable-isotope analyses of mouse tissues. Genomic analyses of contents of the gastrointestinal tract of a live-captured mouse from the 6739 m summit of Volcán Llullaillaco revealed evidence for an opportunistic but purely herbivorous diet, including lichens. Although we found no evidence of animal DNA in gut contents of the summit mouse, stable isotope data indicate that mice native to elevations at or near vegetation limits (~5100 m) include a larger fraction of animal prey in their diet than mice from lower elevations. Some plant species detected in the gut contents of the summit mouse are known to exist at lower elevations at the base of the volcano and in the surrounding Altiplano, suggesting that such plants may occur at higher elevations beneath the snowpack or in other cryptic microhabitats.

42. Extreme high-elevation mammal surveys reveal unexpectedly high upper range limits of Andean mice.

Author

Abstract

In the world's highest mountain ranges, uncertainty about the upper elevational range limits of alpine animals represents a critical knowledge gap regarding the environmental limits of life and presents a problem for detecting range shifts in response to climate change. Here we report results of mountaineering mammal surveys in the Central Andes, which led to the discovery of multiple species of mice living at extreme elevations that far surpass previously assumed range limits for mammals. We live-trapped small mammals from ecologically diverse sites spanning >6700 m of vertical relief, from the desert coast of northern Chile to the summits of the highest volcanoes in the Andes. We used molecular sequence data and whole-genome sequence data to confirm the identities of species that represent new elevational records and to test hypotheses regarding species limits. These discoveries contribute to a new appreciation of the environmental limits of vertebrate life.
