No full textOvis ammon Linnaeus, 1758 Records. First record was in August 14, 2017 (43°25.311′ N, 106°11.725′ E – camera trap SGHI2 – 5:04 pm), and subsequently in the monitoring sites (SGAPA03, SGAPA06, SGAPA11, SGAPA14, OS2, OS1; see Table 4 for the coordinates); Figure 4D. Identification. It is the only wild sheep species in the area and there are no similar species (Batsaikhan 2014).Published as part of Augugliaro, Claudio, Paniccia, Chiara, Janchivlamdan, Choikhand, Monti, Ibra E., Boldbaatar, Turmunkh & Munkhtsog, Bariusha, 2019, Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country, pp. 565-578 in Check List 15 (4) on page 575, DOI: 10.15560/15.4.56
Vulpes vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus 1758
No full textVulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758) Records. First record was in May 19, 2017 (42°57.241′ N, 105°37.608′ E – camera trap SGCI4 – time 1:52 am), and subsequently in the monitoring sites (SGHI2, SGCI2, SGCI5, SGAPA03, SGAPA06, SGAPA13, SGAPA21, SGAPA23, SGAPA5, SGAPA9, OS2; for details see Table 4); Figure 5I. Identification. It can be distinguished by Vulpes corsac by its long, bushy, white-tipped tail, black-backed ears, and longer, darker legs (Batsaikhan 2014).Published as part of Augugliaro, Claudio, Paniccia, Chiara, Janchivlamdan, Choikhand, Monti, Ibra E., Boldbaatar, Turmunkh & Munkhtsog, Bariusha, 2019, Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country, pp. 565-578 in Check List 15 (4) on page 576, DOI: 10.15560/15.4.56
Allactaga bullata Allen 1925
No full textAllactaga bullata Allen, 1925 Records. One individual was recorded in May 13, 2017 in the live trapping site LSH16 (43°11.039′ N, 105°45.276′ E – time 9:40 pm); Figure 5K. Identification. We based the identification on morphometric and qualitative characters. A white stripe on the tail differentiates this species from other jerboas as well the morphology of hind limbs and the length of the ears (Smith et al. 2010, Batsaikhan 2014).Published as part of Augugliaro, Claudio, Paniccia, Chiara, Janchivlamdan, Choikhand, Monti, Ibra E., Boldbaatar, Turmunkh & Munkhtsog, Bariusha, 2019, Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country, pp. 565-578 in Check List 15 (4) on pages 570-572, DOI: 10.15560/15.4.56
Meriones meridianus
No full textMeriones meridianus (Pallas, 1773) Records. First specimen was captured by live trapping in May 14, 2017 (43°11.039′N, 105°45.276′ E – site LSH16 – time 8:00 am), and subsequently in SHC5, LSH6 (Table 4); Figure 6N. Identification. We based the identification on morphometric and qualitative characters. The tail is relatively longer than the head and body. It differs from Meriones unguiculatus in having a less-developed tuft of the tail; the tuft is sometimes absent. The dorsal part of the tail is yellowish brown and its ventral part is light yellow. The sole of the hind feet is covered with hairs. The claws are white with a reddish upper part. The underbelly is white (Darvish 2009, Smith et al. 2010).Published as part of Augugliaro, Claudio, Paniccia, Chiara, Janchivlamdan, Choikhand, Monti, Ibra E., Boldbaatar, Turmunkh & Munkhtsog, Bariusha, 2019, Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country, pp. 565-578 in Check List 15 (4) on page 575, DOI: 10.15560/15.4.56

It is smaller than Campbell’s Hamster (<i>Phodopus campbelli</i> (Thomas, 1905)) and does not have the stripe on the back. The feet are covered with white hairs. It has a relatively long and sharp snout (Batsaikhan 2014).</p>Published as part of <i>Augugliaro, Claudio, Paniccia, Chiara, Janchivlamdan, Choikhand, Monti, Ibra E., Boldbaatar, Turmunkh & Munkhtsog, Bariusha, 2019, Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country, pp. 565-578 in Check List 15 (4)</i> on page 575, DOI: 10.15560/15.4.56
Mammal inventory in the Mongolian Gobi, with the southeasternmost documented record of the Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775), in the country
No full textStudies on mammal diversity and distribution are an important source to develop conservation and management strategies. The area located in southern Mongolia, encompassing the Alashan Plateau Semi-Desert and the Eastern Gobi Desert-Steppe ecoregions, is considered strategic for the conservation of threatened species. We surveyed the non-volant mammals in the Small Gobi-A Strictly Protected Area (SPA) and its surroundings, by using camera trapping, live trapping, and occasional sightings. We recorded 18 mammal species belonging to 9 families and 6 orders. Among them, 4 are globally threatened or near-threatened, 2 are included in the CITES Appendix I, and 2 are listed in the Appendix II. Moreover, we provide the southeasternmost record for the Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) in Mongolia, supported by photographic evidence. Our study highlights the importance of this protected area to preserve rare, threatened, and elusive species
