Morphology ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

Meriones libycus, also known as the Libyan Jird, is very similar in size and shape to many other types of jirds. They are 5 to 6 inches long and have a tale that is roughly the same length as the rest of their body. Coloration is variable, but most commonly M. libycus is sandy-colored or yellowish dorsally, with a white or light colored ventral surface. The feet are almost exlusively white with black nails; however, there can also be a orange colored stripe that runs up the foot in some specimens. The ears are not pigmented,and the tail is usually the same color as the rest of the dorsal surface. The only physical feature that makes the body of the Libyan Jird look any different from any other gerbil species is that in M. libycus the head may be narrower by a small degree. (Jird Site 1997, van Veen 1999, Nowak 1999, Barker 1999)

Average mass: 85 g.

Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry

Average mass: 100 g.

Trophic Strategy ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

Meriones libycus eat the seeds of a wide array of grasses in the wild. They also eat some types of leaves, as well as the succulent fruits that can be found in the desert areas in which they live. Which grasses they choose to use as a food source is variable and depends mainly on where the jird is located. In areas that are under human cultivation, they will feed on potato and tomato crops.

Those that are interested in keeping M. libycus as a pet should know that while individuals in this species are very passive, groups of jirds can be very aggresive. There is a high degree of competition amongst individuals which can lead to fighting, biting, and other potential dangers for the animals. (van Veen 1999)

Reproduction ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

The exact processes involved in the reproduction of M. libycus in the wild are not well documented. It is assumed that they have reproductive patterns similar to other jirds and gerbils. It is known that they have litters of anywhere from three to six, but this can be highly variable. Most evidence shows that the breeding takes place most heavily in winter, but it is also possible that breeeding takes place year-round on a lower level. The gestation period is usually around 20 days, with the newborn young being fully independent after 4-5 weeks. (van Veen 1999, Barker 1999)

Key Reproductive Features: gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual

Average birth mass: 5.33 g.

Average gestation period: 26 days.

Average number of offspring: 5.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female:
91 days.

Libysche Rennratte ( Alemão )

fornecido por wikipedia DE

Die Libysche Rennratte (Meriones libycus) ist eine Nagetierart aus der Gattung der Rennratten (Meriones) innerhalb der Rennmäuse (Gerbillinae). Sie ist in Wüsten- und Halbwüstengebieten von Nordafrika über weite Teile Vorderasiens und Zentralasiens bis in die westliche Volksrepublik China verbreitet.

Merkmale

Die Libysche Rennratte erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 10,0 bis 18,0 Zentimetern mit einem Schwanz von 10,8 bis 18,0 Zentimetern Länge bei einem Gewicht von 56 bis 155 Gramm. Die Hinterfußlänge beträgt etwa 31 bis 38 Millimeter, die Ohrlänge etwa 11 bis 22 Millimeter. Es handelt sich entsprechend um eine mittelgroße Art der Gattung mit einem langen Schwanz, der in seiner Länge etwa der Kopf-Rumpf-Länge entspricht.[1] Das Rückenfell ist graubraun[1] bis blass sandfarben-grau[2], das Bauchfell ist weiß mit an der Basis grauen, an den Spitzen weißen Haaren. Rücken- und Bauchfell sind durch eine schmale orangefarbene Linie getrennt.[2] Die Ohren sind nicht pigmentiert und mit wenigen dünnen weißen Haaren besetzt, dahinter befindet sich ein kleiner weißer Fleck.[2] Die Vorder- und Hinterbeine sind weiß, die Sohlen sind nur teilweise behaart und besitzen mehrere nackte Stellen. Die Hinterfüße besitzen dunkle Krallen. Der Schwanz besitzt eine rötlichbraune Basis und ist einfarbig blassbraun gefärbt, das hintere Drittel ist haselnussbraun bis schwarz und besitzt eine auffällige Schwanzquaste.[1][2]

Der Schädel hat eine Gesamtlänge von 36 bis 42 Millimeter. Er ist etwas größer als der der Mittagsmaus, die Stirn und Zwischenaugenregion ist breit ausgebildet. Die Vorderseite des Gehörgangs ist vergrößert und geht in eine vergrößerte Paukenblase mit einer Länge von 33 bis 35 % der Gesamtlänge des Schädels über.[2] Ein Überaugenwulst ist deutlich ausgebildet und reicht auf die Schädelseiten.[1] Die oberen Nagezähne besitzen jeweils eine leichte Furche. Das Genom besteht aus einem diploiden Chromosomensatz von 2n = 44 (FN=74) Chromosomen.[2]

Verbreitung

Die Libysche Rennratte ist in Wüsten- und Halbwüstengebieten von Nordafrika von Marokko bis Ägypten sowie über die Arabische Halbinsel und weite Teile Vorderasiens und Zentralasiens bis in die westliche Volksrepublik China verbreitet.[3][1] In Nordafrika reicht das Verbreitungsgebiet von der marokkanischen Atlantikküste und dem Nordrand des Atlas über die nördlichen Regionen von Tunesien und Algerien sowie den größten Teil von Libyen bis in den Norden von Ägypten.[2]

Lebensweise

Die Libysche Rennratte lebt in trockenen Wüstengebieten, vor allem in Regionen mit stabilen Sanddünen. Die Tiere sind überwiegend tagaktiv, können jedoch auch nachts angetroffen werden. Sie ernähren sich herbivor hauptsächlich von Samen. Wie andere Rennratten sind die Tiere sehr sozial und legen unterirdische Baue an. In Asien nutzen sie zudem die Baue der Großen Rennmaus (Rhombomys opimus).[1] Die eigenen Baue sind weniger komplex als die der Großen Rennmaus, jedoch häufig komplexer gebaut als die anderer Rennmäuse. Ein typisches Territorium ist durch 10 bis 60 Eingangslöcher gekennzeichnet. Die Baue bestehen aus zwei Ebenen mit einer oberen Ebene, die vor allem für die Lagerung von bis zu 10 Kilogramm Nahrung pro Bau genutzt wird, sowie einer bis zu 1,5 Meter tiefen Ebene, in der die Nestkammern liegen.[1] Die Baue werden von mehreren Individuen bewohnt, im Winter können sich bis zu 25 oder 30 Tiere in einem gemeinsamen Bau zur Überwinterung versammeln.[1]

Die Libysche Rennratte ist während des gesamten Jahres fortpflanzungsfähig, der Höhepunkt der sexuellen Aktivität liegt jedoch in den Sommermonaten. Die Weibchen bekommen pro Jahr mehrere Würfe mit durchschnittlich fünf bis sechs Jungtieren.[1]

Systematik

Die Libysche Rennratte wird als eigenständige Art innerhalb der Rennratten (Meriones) eingeordnet, die aus etwa 20 Arten besteht. Die wissenschaftliche Erstbeschreibung stammt von dem deutschen Zoologen Martin Hinrich Lichtenstein, der die Art 1823 anhand von Individuen aus der „libischen Wüste“ beschrieb. Die Terra typica wurde später jedoch als Ägypten, nahe Alexandria, interpretiert.[4]

Status, Bedrohung und Schutz

Die Libysche Rennratte wird von der International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) als nicht gefährdet (least concern) eingeordnet.[3] Begründet wird dies mit dem sehr großen Verbreitungsgebiet und dem generell häufigen Vorkommen der Art. Potenzielle Gefährdungen sind für die Art nicht bekannt, in Teilen des Verbreitungsgebietes wird sie als Schädling betrachtet.[3]

Libyan jird ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

The Libyan jird (Meriones libycus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Western China. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, intermittent saline lakes, hot deserts, and rural gardens.

Description

The Libyan jird is a large species of jird with a head-and-body length of 100 to 160 mm (3.9 to 6.3 in), a similar-length tail and a weight of 56 to 105 g (2.0 to 3.7 oz).[3] The head is broad with large eyes, the fur is fine and dense and the hind legs are long.[4] The upper parts are greyish-brown, darker in colour than the midday jird (Meriones meridianus), which is usually smaller. The hairs on the underside have white tips and grey bases whereas the midday jird has all-white underparts apart from a brownish chest stripe. The tail is pale brown except for the terminal third of the tail which is deep brown or blackish. The claws are dark-coloured, and the soles of the hind feet are partly hairy so that patches of bare skin are visible.[3] In parts of its range it may be confused with Sundevall's jird (Meriones crassus) but that species is smaller, has pale claws and a smaller dark tail tuft.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The Libyan jird is native to North Africa and parts of Western and Central Asia. Its range extends from Mauritania and Morocco to Saudi Arabia, the Near East, Kazakhstan and Western China. Its typical habitat is deserts and semi-deserts, river floodplains, wadis and areas with stable sand-dunes. It sometimes occurs in arable land.[1]

Ecology

The Libyan jird may live alone or in small colonies, and is more sociable in winter when colonies may contain twenty or thirty individuals. It inhabits a burrow up to 1.5 m (5 ft) deep which is a fairly complex series of passages with multiple entrances; an empty burrow of the great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) may be used. The Libyan jird is a diurnal species and forages for seeds, bulbs, tubers and leaves, as well as any dead insect it may find. It often carries the food back to the burrow and here large quantities are stored in chambers near the surface, deeper burrows being used for nesting. It is opportunistically migratory, moving to new territory when food becomes scarce. Breeding takes place throughout most of the year with several litters of about five young being born.[3][4]

In the man-made desert known as Aralkum that has been formed as a result of the shrinkage of the Aral Sea,[5] the Libyan jird has made use of the new habitat where it lives alongside other small rodents including the northern three-toed jerboa, the midday jird and the great gerbil. These rodents are about four times more abundant on the dried-up seabed than in the surrounding terrain, and the presence of this abundance of rodent prey has attracted carnivores such as the red fox, the corsac fox, the mountain weasel, the steppe polecat, the marbled polecat and the Turkestan wildcat.[6]

Status

The Libyan jird is a common species in suitable habitat across its wide range. It is presumed to have a large total population and is regarded as a pest in some areas where it is present in cropland. No special threats to this species have been identified, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".[1]

Suwak libijski ( Polonês )

fornecido por wikipedia POL

Suwak libijski[3] (Meriones libycus) – gatunek gryzonia z rodziny myszowatych, występujący w Afryce Północnej, na Bliskim Wschodzie i w Azji Środkowej[2][4].

Systematyka

Gatunek ten został opisany naukowo w 1823 roku przez M. Lichtensteina. Miejsce typowe to prawdopodobnie okolice Aleksandrii w Egipcie; lektotyp pochodzi z Pustyni Libijskiej. Gryzonie te należą do podgatunku Pallasiomys[4].

Występowanie i biologia

Suwak libijski występuje w Mauretanii, w krajach Maghrebu, w Jordanii, Syrii, Turcji, Iraku, Arabii Saudyjskiej, Katarze, Kuwejcie, Iranie, Azerbejdżanie, Kazachstanie, Uzbekistanie, Turkmenistanie, Tadżykistanie, Afganistanie, Pakistanie po Sinciang w zachodnich Chinach. W Afryce zamieszkuje Saharę, w Maroku, Algierii i Libii występuje do wybrzeża Morza Śródziemnego, gdzie współwystępuje z suwakiem śródziemnomorskim (Meriones shawi). Prowadzi naziemny tryb życia, jest spotykany do wysokości 1700 m n.p.m. Zamieszkuje pustynie i półpustynie, najczęściej w obszarach ustabilizowanych wydm. Jest pospolity w suchych dolinach rzek (uedach), czasem spotykany na terenach uprawnych. Gryzonie te są mobilne, często zmieniają nory i migrują, gdy zmniejszy się dostępność pożywienia[4][2].

Populacja

Gatunek ten jest pospolity, zamieszkuje bardzo rozległy obszar, a jego liczebność jest stabilna. Na niektórych obszarach jest uznawany za szkodnika, gdyż może żerować na uprawach. Jest klasyfikowany jako gatunek najmniejszej troski[2].

Meriones libycus ( Sueco )

fornecido por wikipedia SV

Meriones libycus[2][3][4] är en däggdjursart som beskrevs av Lichtenstein 1823. Meriones libycus ingår i släktet Meriones, och familjen råttdjur.[5][6] Inga underarter finns listade.[5]

Beskrivning

En medelstor ökenråtta med en längd av 24 till 36 cm, inklusive den 12 till 19 cm långa svansen. Vikten varierar från 60 till 140 g. Pälsen på ovansidan är brungrå med mera rent grå färg på ryggen samt små, vitaktiga fläckar bakom öronen. Svansen har tjock, gulgrå päls med rödaktig bas och en svart hårborste i spetsen.[7]

Ekologi

Arten lever i öknar och halvöknar, speciellt i områden med mer eller mindre permanenta dyner och ansamlingar av sand som torra floddalar (wadier). Den kan mera sällan förekomma i odlade områden. Arten kan gå upp till 1 700 m i bergen.[1] Den är anpassad för ett ökenliv genom sin förmåga att effektivt urvinna vatten ur födan, genom att inte svettas och ha en mycket koncentrerad urin och torr avföring.[8] Till skillnad från många andra ökenråttor som är nattaktiva, kan denna art även i vissa områden vara i rörelse på dagen.[8][7]

Boet är en mycket komplex, underjordisk konstruktion utgrävd under någon buske. Det kan vara så stort som 10 m i diameter, och ligga på ett djup på 1 1/2 m. Boet har mellan 2 och 8 ingångar och flera gångar som leder till en förrådskammare.[7] Det är vanligt att den ofta byter bo om det gamla skulle visa sig vara olämpligt.[1] I vissa områden formar djuren mindre kolonier, medan den i andra lever solitärt.[8]

Föda

Födan består främst av frön från kolokvint och korgblommiga växter samt gräs, ärtväxter och amarantväxter.[7] Arten kan mera sällan även äta insekter som gräshoppor[8]. Individer som lever i jordbrukslandskap kan ta potatis och tomat[9]. Den kan hamsta upp till 10 kg föda i boets förrådskammare.[8]

Fortplantning

Inte mycket är känt om artens fortplantning, men man antar att honan under bästa förhållanden får 3 till 4 kullar per år med 3 till 7 ungar i varje, efter en månads dräktighet. Antalet är dock mycket variabelt.[8] Ungarna är självständiga efter 4 till 5 veckor,[9] och blir könsmogna när de är mellan 2 och 6 månader gamla[8].

Utbredning

Arten har en vid utbredning, från Västsahara, Mauritanien och Egypten i Nordafrika via Arabiska halvön till Kina i östra Asien.[1]

Status

Meriones libycus är vanlig i hela sitt utbredningsområde, och IUCN kategoriserar den globalt som livskraftig. Inga hot har registrerats, däremot betraktas djuret i delar av sitt utbredningsområde som ett skadedjur på grund av sin vana att äta grödor.[1]

리비아저드 ( Coreano )

fornecido por wikipedia 한국어 위키백과

리비아저드(Meriones libycus)는 쥐과 메리오네스속에 속하는 설치류의 일종이다.[2] 모리타니모로코, 알제리, 튀니지, 리비아, 이집트, 요르단, 시리아, 사우디아라비아, 이란, 이라크, 아프가니스탄, 투르크메니스탄, 우즈베키스탄, 카자흐스탄, 중국 서부 지역에서 발견된다.[1] 자연 서식지는 아열대 또는 열대 기후 지역의 건조 관목 지대와 간헐 염수호, 뜨거운 사막 지대, 시골 정원 지대이다.

특징

리비아저드는 메리오네스속에 속하는 대형 저빌 종으로 몸길이는 꼬리 길이와 비슷한 100~160mm이고, 몸무게는 56~105g이다.[3] 머리 폭이 넓고 큰 눈을 가지고 있으며, 털은 섬세하고 무성하며 뒷발이 길다.[4] 등 쪽은 회색빛 갈색이고, 보통 더 작은 중국저드보다 색이 더 진하다. 배 쪽 털은 회색 바탕에 끝이 흰 반면에 중국저드는 가슴의 갈색 줄무늬를 제외하고는 배 쪽이 모두 희다. 꼬리 부분은 진한 갈색 또는 거무스레한 색을 띠는 꼬리 끝 1/3 부분을 제외하고 연한 갈색이다. 발톱은 진한 색을 띠고, 뒷발 발바닥은 부분적으로 털이 나 있어 군데 군데 맨살이 보인다.[3] 일부 분포 지역에서 순데발저드(Meriones crassus)와 혼동을 일으킬 수도 있지만, 순데발저드보다 발톱 색이 더 연하고 꼬리 끝 부분의 털 뭉치는 더 작고 진한 색을 띤다.[4]

분포 및 서식지

리비아저드는 북아프리카와 아시아 서부와 중부 지역 일부의 토착종이다. 분포 지역은 모리타니와 모로코 지역부터 사우디아라비아와 근도 지역, 카자흐스탄과 중국 서부 지역이다. 일반적인 서식지는 사막과 준사막 지대, 강가 홍수림, 와디 지역, 안정적인 모래 언덕 지대이다. 경작지에서 발견되기도 한다.[1]

생태

리비아저드는 홀로 살거나 작은 무리를 지어 살며, 20마리 또는 30마리씩 무리를 짓고 겨울철에는 군집 크기가 좀더 늘어난다. 땅 아래로 최대 1.5m 깊이의 상당히 복잡한 통로와 여러 개의 입구를 가진 굴을 파서 생활한다. 큰저빌(Rhombomys opimus)의 비어 있는 굴을 사용할 수도 있다. 주행성 동물의 일종으로 씨앗과 구근, 덩이줄기, 잎 등의 식물을 먹고, 일부 죽은 곤충을 먹을 수도 있다. 먹이를 굴 속으로 옮기기도 하고, 땅 표면 근처 방에 많은 양의 먹이를 저장하며, 더 깊은 굴은 둥지로 사용한다. 상황에 따라 선택적으로 떠도는 동물로 먹이가 부족해지면 새로운 땅을 움직인다. 거의 연중 번식을 하며, 약 5마리의 새끼를 여러번 낳는다.[3][4]

아랄 해가 줄어들어 만들어진 인공적인 "아랄쿰 사막"에서 리비아저드는 다른 작은 설치류 북부세발가락뛰는쥐중국저드, 큰저빌과 함께 새로운 서식지를 이용하여 산다.[5] 이들 설치류는 주변 지형에서보다 건조 해역에서 4배 더 풍부하고, 이 때문에 붉은여우코사크여우, 스텝긴털족제비, 얼룩족제비, 투르크메니스탄들고양이와 같은 육식동물을 끌어 모은다.[6]

보전 상태

리비아저드는 넓은 분포 지역의 적당한 서식지에서 흔하게 발견되는 종이다. 전체 개체수가 크고, 농경지에서 서식하는 일부 지역에서는 해충으로 간주된다. 알려진 특별한 위협 요인은 없고, 국제 자연 보전 연맹(IUCN)이 보전 상태를 "관심대상종"으로 분류하고 있다.[1]
