Reevaluation of several taxa of Chinese lagomorphs (Mammalia: Lagomorpha) described on the basis of pelage phenotype variation

Historically, melanistic fox squirrels have been found in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and along the Missouri River in Eastern Omaha, Nebraska However, recent anecdotal observations suggest that the melanistic trait in fox squirrels is expanding westward into Omaha Squirrels were surveyed in the autumn of 2010 and 2011 along transect lines within five major city sections and different habitat types; comparisons were made to a survey performed in 1973 Proportion of melanistic squirrels in Council Bluffs remained at levels similar to 1973 surveys (∼50% melanistic) Since 1973 melanistic fox squirrels have increased in Omaha, with a higher proportion of melanistic squirrels in northwest (74%) and northeast (76%) compared to southwest or southeast Omaha (46%) Melanistic squirrels were found in higher proportions in parks (121%) and residential (109%) habitats compared to business (61%), industrial (74%), or golf course (80%) habitats Melanistic squirrels were also observed more frequently at co

Westward Expansion of Melanistic Fox Squirrels (Sciurus niger) in Omaha, Nebraska

Melanic white-tailed deer are distinguished from normal white-tailed deer by having uniform black hairs on the back with subdued black hairs on the belly, a completely dark face and ears, a distinctive mid-dorsal stripe extending from the head to the apex of the tail and a tail with black dorsally and white ventrally. We report records for two melanistic white-tailed deer in Pennsylvania. A male fawn was captured in Valley Forge National Historical Park in 1999 and an adult male was harvested in Bucks County in 2002. Since at least one melanistic deer was produced in this region, there is a possibility another melanic deer will be produced in the future.
