Rupicapra

melitensis biovar 3 from a chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) in the Southern French Alps.

As we have already noted, in the mountains of Europe there is also a species referred to in Hebrew as [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII], Rupicapra rupicapra, which is known in Italian as camoscio, Spanish as gamuza from Arabic, and in French and English as chamois (in Israel the skin is called, [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] zemesh whereas in English it is called chamois or shammy).

Yet, male and female Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) that inhabited open montane habitat segregated into same-sex groups (Gerard and Richard-Hansen, 1992).

Comparativamente, se procesaron, tambien, muestras de cuatro Rupicapra pyrenaica (Rebeco, Bovidae) procedentes de los Pirineos Catalanes.

Species of ungulates include such mammals as the endemic East Caucasian and West Caucasian tur (Capra cylindricornis and Capra caucasica, respectively), the non-endemic chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), Caucasian red deer (Cervus elaphus maral), bezoar wild goat, and mouflon wild sheep (Ovis orientalis gmelini) (Gokhelashvili 2003).

elaphus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), and chamois (Rupicapra spp.) changed forested areas into grasslands and held them there (Miller et al.

Prespa contains over 1300 species of plants (Pavlides, 1997) and more than 40 species of mammals, including brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus), chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), wild boar (Sus scrofa) (Chaini, 1999).

The chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) can remain motionless for hours in a blizzard at a temperature below -14[degrees]F (-10[degrees]C).

We investigated age- and sex-specific survival in five populations of three species of ungulates (roe deer, Capreolus capreolus; bighorn sheep, Ovis canadensis; and isard, Rupicapra pyrenaica), using recent statistical developments of capture-mark-recapture models and long-term (12 to 22 yr) data on marked individuals.

In the genus Rupicapra, the influence of hybridization on horn development has been poorly investigated (Iacolina et al.

We analyzed serum samples from 355 wild ruminants hunted during August 2010-May 2013; species sampled included Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica), European mouflon (Ovis aries musimon), and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).
