Although valley pocket gophers, along with other pocket gophers, are accused of damaging grasslands, overgrazing by domestic livestock does most of the damage. The gopher population is attracted by the conditions the livestock create (Grzimek 1990). Also, pocket gophers are considered pests in agricultural areas where they eat crops and cut the roots of young trees (Nowak 1991).

Valley pocket gophers wear their claws down at a fast rate due to constant digging. In order to cope with this, the middle claw grows twice as fast as the other claws. (Grzimek 1990) Owls prey on them at night, and badgers, coyotes, and foxes dig them out of their burrows to consume them. The oldest tagged wild individual was 4 years old, but they usually do not live past their second year, possibly due to predation. Predation, though, does not have an effect on the species' numbers (Grzimek 1990).

Valley pocket gophers are valuable to humans in many ways. The burrowing that the species does helps to keep the earth porous and (friable). The burying of vegetation enriches the soil. In mountain meadows, their holes allow runoff from snow to sink deep into then earth, conserving water and soil (Nowak 1991).

Trophic Strategy ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

Valley pocket gophers generally eat roots, bulbs, tubers, and occasionally above ground plant parts. When in areas inhabited by humans, valley pocket gophers eat cultivated crops. Thomomys bottae do not drink water and get their needs for moisture from "juicy" vegetable matter. Valley pocket gophers may eat plants above ground, but often times they burrow under the plant, bite off the roots and pull the stem into the burrow for further preparation. Once in the burrow, they cut the vegetation into smaller pieces and push it into the cheek-pouches with their front claws. When placed in the deep cheek-pouches, a large quantity can be carried to a storage or eating place.

Pocket gophers have large stomachs and caeca, and the amount of food that can be contained in the digestive tract at one time can exceed 21% of the animals total weight.

Morphology ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

Valley pocket gophers have a body length of 11.5 to 30 cm, and a tail length of 4 to 9.5 cm. Males are considerably larger than females. One study showed that average male weight was 141 g, while females weighed 90 g ( Daly 1986). The fur is short, smooth, and soft. The underside fur is only somewhat paler than the dorsal. Many of the 185 subspecies aredistinguished by color, which varies from grey, to brown, to tan to almost black. Thomomys bottae has a robust body and has short legs with long front claws. It has small eyes and ears and a tail that is naked at the tip (Grzimek 1990). Pocket gophers are characterized by deep fur-lined cheek pouches, and the genus Thomomys is characterized by upper incisors that lack frontal grooves (Grzimek 1990).

Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry

Average mass: 115.5 g.

Average basal metabolic rate: 0.67 W.

Reproduction ( Inglês )

fornecido por Animal Diversity Web

Female valley pocket gophers are monestrous, producing only one litter per year, after a gestation period of 19 days. The litter size ranges from 3-7, but the average is 5.7 for the species. The young are small at birth, weighing between 2.8 and 4 g. Once born, the young are weaned between the 36th and 40th day. Cheek pouches open after 24 days, and eyes and ears open after 26 days (Grzimek 1990). The young do not leave their mother until after 60 days, and young valley pocket gophers grow the coat of adults after 100 days. They reach an adult weight between 5 and 6 months, and reach sexual maturity the following breeding season, usually at 9 to 12 months of age (Daly 1896). Thomomys bottae live an average of 2.5 years.

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

Gebirgs-Taschenratte ( Alemão )

fornecido por wikipedia DE

Die Gebirgs-Taschenratte (Thomomys bottae) ist eine im westlichen Nordamerika lebende Nagetierart aus der Familie der Taschenratten (Geomyidae). Sie lebt überwiegend unterirdisch und ernährt sich von Pflanzenteilen, die sie vor allem unter der Erde frisst. Es wurden zahlreiche Unterarten beschrieben.[1]

Merkmale

Gebirgs-Taschenratten sind kompakt gebaut, mit großem Kopf, kurzen Beinen und kräftigen Krallen. Die Tiere haben eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 177 bis 267 mm und eine Schwanzlänge von 48 bis 85 mm. Das Fell ist mittellang. Die Fellfarbe der Oberseite ist je nach Verbreitung sehr variabel und diente vielfach zur Abgrenzung von Unterarten. Bei manchen Populationen wechselt die Fellfarbe auch jahreszeitlich.[1]

Verbreitung und Lebensraum

 src=
Verbreitungsgebiet der Gebirgs-Taschenratte

Die Gebirgs-Taschenratte lebt im westlichen Teil der USA und in Nordmexiko. Sie kommt vom Süden des Bundesstaats Oregon bis Niederkalifornien, ostwärts bis einschließlich des zentralen Großen Beckens und nach Süden bis in das Flachland Nordmexikos vor. In den USA umfasst das Areal der Art die Bundesstaaten Arizona, Kalifornien, Colorado und Nevada (dort möglicherweise ausgestorben), New Mexico, Oregon, Texas und Utah. In Mexiko gehören die Bundesstaaten Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Sinaloa und Zacatecas zum Verbreitungsgebiet.[2]

Die Art besiedelt unterschiedliche Lebensräume wie offene Graslandschaften, Prärie, Laub- und Nadelwälder und wüstenähnliche Gebiete. In diesen Gebieten ist sie in offenem Gelände mit tiefgründigen Böden anzutreffen, zudem kommt sie in landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen vor.[2]

Lebensweise

 src=
Gebirgs-Taschenratte mit deutlich gefüllten Backentaschen

Gebirgs-Taschenratten leben überwiegend unterirdisch und sind außerhalb der Paarungszeit territoriale Einzelgänger. Männchen haben größere Reviere als Weibchen. Die Tiere sind tag- und nachtaktiv, die Hauptaktivitätszeit liegt am Nachmittag und frühen Abend.[1]

Die Tiere graben mit den großen Schneidezähnen, die lockere Erde wird mit dem Kopf oder den Vorderbeinen beiseite geräumt. Der Bau einer Gebirgs-Taschenratte besteht im Regelfall aus einem oder mehreren Erdhaufen, die aus dem beim Graben anfallenden Material bestehen, flachen Tunneln unter der Erdoberfläche, die zur Nahrungssuche genutzt werden und tieferen Bereichen, in denen sich die Tiere dauerhaft aufhalten. Hier befinden sich Vorrats- und Wohnkammern. Die Nahrungssuchtunnel verlaufen parallel zur Bodenoberfläche.[1]

Ernährung

Die Gebirgs-Taschenratte ernährt sich von einem breiten Spektrum unter- und oberirdischer Pflanzenteile wie Wurzeln, Knollen, Zwiebeln, Gräsern, Blättern bis hin zu Kakteen, im Winter auch von Rinde. In landwirtschaftlich genutzten Gebieten fressen die Tiere auch Feldfrüchte.[1]

Fortpflanzung

Taschenratten werfen in Gebieten mit gutem Nahrungsangebot ganzjährig und bis zu viermal im Jahr, im Norden des Verbreitungsgebietes und in größeren Höhenlagen ist die Wurfzeit auf das Frühjahr beschränkt. Die Tragzeit beträgt etwa 18 Tage. Die Würfe umfassen 1 bis 12 Jungtiere. Weibchen können in nahrungsökologisch günstigen Gebieten bereits im Jahr ihrer Geburt erstmals werfen.[1]

Bedrohung und Schutz

Die Art wird von der International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) aufgrund des großen Verbreitungsgebietes und der Bestandsgröße als „nicht gefährdet“ (Least concern) eingestuft. Sie ist zudem anpassungsfähig und kommt in verschiedenen Lebensräumen vor, ein Rückgang des Bestandes und eine größere Bedrohung der Art sind nicht bekannt.[2]

In landwirtschaftlich genutzten Gebieten wird die Gebirgs-Taschenratte als Schädling betrachtet.[2]

Botta's pocket gopher ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Botta's pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae) is a pocket gopher native to western North America. It is also known in some sources as valley pocket gopher, particularly in California. Both the specific and common names of this species honor Paul-Émile Botta, a naturalist and archaeologist who collected mammals in California in 1827 and 1828.

Description

Botta's pocket gopher skull and teeth from Elliot 1901

Botta's pocket gopher is a medium-sized gopher, with adults reaching a length of 18 to 27 cm (7.1 to 10.6 in), including a tail of 5 to 6 cm (2.0 to 2.4 in). The overall dental formula is 10131013.[2] Males are larger, with a weight of 160–250 g (5.6–8.8 oz), compared with 120–200 g (4.2–7.1 oz) in the females.[3] Male pocket gophers are widely believed to continue growing throughout their life. However, size variation would indicate that some males are predisposed to be larger than others, and the largest male may not be the oldest.[4] Coloration is highly variable, and has been used to help distinguish some of the many subspecies; it may also change over the course of a year as the animals molt.[5] Both albino and melanistic individuals have also been reported. However, Botta's gopher generally lacks the black stripe down the middle of the back found in the closely related southern pocket gopher, a feature that may be used to tell the two species apart where they live in the same area.[2]

Distribution

Botta's pocket gophers are found from California east to Texas, and from Utah and southern Colorado south to Mexico. Within this geographical area, they inhabit a range of habitats, including woodlands, chaparral, scrubland, and agricultural land, being limited only by rocky terrain, barren deserts, and major rivers.[2] They are found at elevations up to at least 4,200 metres (13,800 ft).[6] Skeletal remains of Botta's pocket gophers, dating back 31,000 years, have been identified from Oklahoma.[7]

Around 195 subspecies have been described, mostly on the basis of geographical distribution. Some of these have previously been described as distinct species in their own right. The distribution of the type localities of these subspecies is as follows:[2]

Ecology

Botta's pocket gopher is strictly herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plant matter. Shoots and grasses are particularly important, supplemented by roots, tubers, and bulbs during the winter.[2] An individual often pulls plants into the ground by the roots to consume them in the safety of its burrow, where it spends 90% of its life.

The metabolic rate, consumption rate and amount of energy assimilated for non-reproductive adult gophers is consistent through winter, spring, summer and fall.[8] The average adult Botta's pocket gopher has a body temperature of 36 °C (97 °F). Burrowing can be extremely energetically demanding requiring between 360 and 3,400 times as much energy as moving across the surface, depending on soil density. Due to the high cost of burrowing, Botta's pocket gopher is good at conserving energy by having a low basal metabolic rate and thermal conductance.[9]

The main predators of this species include American badgers, coyotes, long-tailed weasels, and snakes, but other predators include skunks, owls, bobcats, and hawks. This species is considered a pest in urban and agricultural areas due to its burrowing habit and its predilection for alfalfa; however, it is also considered beneficial as its burrows are a key source of aeration for soils in the region.

Digging by Botta's pocket gophers is estimated to aerate the soil to a depth of about 20 cm (7.9 in),[2] and to be responsible for the creation of Mima mounds up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height. Populations of the species have been estimated to mine as much as 28 tonnes of soil per hectare per year, much of which is moved below ground, rather than being pushed up into the mounds.[10] The species also has been associated with the deaths of aspen in Arizona[11] and creates patches of bare ground that may limit the establishment of new seedlings.[12]

Behavior

An individual emerging from a burrow in southern California

Botta's pocket gopher is highly adaptable, burrowing into a very diverse array of soils from loose sands to tightly packed clays, and from arid deserts to high altitude meadows. They are able to tolerate such a wide range of soils in part because they dig primarily with their teeth, which are larger and with a thicker layer of enamel than in claw-digging gophers. In comparison, gophers digging with their claws are generally only able to dig in softer soils, because their claws wear down more quickly than teeth do in harder materials.[13]

Botta's pocket gophers are active for a total of about nine hours each day, spending most of their time feeding in their burrows, but are not restricted to either daylight or night time.[14] They make little sound, although they do communicate by making clicking noises, soft hisses, and squeaks.[2]

Their burrows include multiple deep chambers for nesting, food storage, and defecation, that can be as much as 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) below ground. A series of tunnels close to the surface is used for feeding on plant roots, with shorter side tunnels for disposal of excavated soil. On the surface, the burrows are marked by fan-shaped mounds of excavated soil, with the actual entrance usually kept filled in for protection.[2] Population densities between 10 and 62 per acre have been reported.[2]

Aboveground traces of these burrows are sometimes called "gopher eskers".

Outside of the breeding season, each burrow is inhabited by a single adult, with any young leaving once they are weaned. Male burrows extend over a mean area of 474 m2 (5,100 sq ft), and those of females 286 m2 (3,080 sq ft),[15] but the gophers aggressively defend[16] a larger exclusive area, of 810 m2 (8,700 sq ft) for males and 390 m2 (4,200 sq ft) for females, around the burrow entrance.[2]

Reproduction

In areas with sufficient food, such as agricultural land, breeding can occur year-round, with up to four litters being born each year. In the north, and other, less hospitable, environments, it occurs only during the spring. The local habitat also affects the age at which females begin breeding, with nearly half doing so in their first year in agricultural land, but none at all in desert scrub.[2] Females can breed within the same season they are born, or within three months of their birth. Males tend not to breed until the season after they are born, or at least until they are 6–8 months old.[4]

Gestation lasts 18 days, and results in the birth of a litter of up to 12 pups, although three or four are more typical. The young are born hairless and blind, and measure about 5 cm (2.0 in) in length.[2] The first, silky coat of fur is replaced by a coarser coat of grey hair as the pups age, before the full adult coat develops.[5]

Botta's pocket gophers are capable of breeding with southern pocket gophers, and until the 1980s, were often considered to belong to the same species. However, male hybrids are sterile, and females have greatly reduced fertility, so rarely have offspring of their own.[17] Hybridization with Townsend's pocket gopher has also been reported, and it, too, appears not to extend much beyond the first generation.[18]

Botta's pocket gopher: Brief Summary ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Botta's pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae) is a pocket gopher native to western North America. It is also known in some sources as valley pocket gopher, particularly in California. Both the specific and common names of this species honor Paul-Émile Botta, a naturalist and archaeologist who collected mammals in California in 1827 and 1828.

Thomomys bottae ( Espanhol; Castelhano )

fornecido por wikipedia ES

El gofer de bolsillo de Botta (Thomomys bottae) es una especie de mamífero roedor de la familia de los geomíidos.[2]​ Habita desde California oriental hasta Texas y desde Utah y Colorado meridionales hasta México.[3]

Este gofer vive principalmente solo. Cava un extenso sistema de madrigueras (alojamiento) en terreno blando con sus poderosas patas delanteras, las cuales están provistas de garras grandes. Este gofer permanece bajo tierra la mayor parte de su vida y consume raíces, tubérculos, bulbos y otras partes de plantas bajo las superficie. Es de color marrón grisáceo en el dorso y naranjo marrón debajo, y tiene las adaptaciones típicas de los excavadores de madrigueras, como cabeza plana, bigotes largos, ojos pequeños y orejas pequeñas cerradas por orejeras.

El macho adulto mide entre 11,5 y 30 cm de longitud (cabeza y tronco). La cola le mide entre 4 y 9,5 cm. Pesa entre 45 y 55 g.

Valleigoffer ( Neerlandês; Flamengo )

fornecido por wikipedia NL

De valleigoffer (Thomomys bottae) (ook wel Botta's goffer) is een goffer die voorkomt van Oregon in het noorden tot Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Sinaloa, Sonora en Neder-Californië in het zuiden. Hij is fossiel bekend vanaf 103,000 jaar geleden. Hij is genoemd naar Paolo Emilio Botta, een 19e-eeuwse Italiaanse bioloog. Het aantal chromosomen varieert tussen 74 en 88, maar 76 komt het meeste voor.

Beschrijving

Ze zijn ongeveer zo groot als een rat en hebben korte, meestal naakte staarten, kleine ogen en oren en lange voorpoten met verlengde klauwen. De kleur varieert van lichtgrijs tot zwart. De grote voortanden steken voor de lippen uit, zodat het dier kan graven zonder zijn mond vol aarde te krijgen. De valleigoffer heeft wangzakken.

Ondersoorten

De valleigoffer heeft het hoogste aantal ondersoorten van alle levende zoogdieren, namelijk 195. Dat komt doordat ze allemaal in verschillende valleien leven, die door bergen van elkaar worden afgesneden, zodat de ondersoorten nauwelijks contact hebben en zich onafhankelijk ontwikkelen. Het werkelijke aantal ondersoorten ligt echter mogelijk veel lager. Bij een studie van Thomomys umbrinus, een vergelijkbare soort, werd het aantal ondersoorten in een bepaalde regio enorm gereduceerd, van acht naar twee.

Leefwijze

Deze goffer heeft een fossorische (gravende) leefstijl en eet allerlei verschillende planten. Ze blijven in hun holen om te eten en trekken soms een complete plant onder de grond. 's Nachts foerageren ze bovengronds. Ze krijgen water uit de planten die ze eten. 's Winters graven ze tunnels door de sneeuw, die ze bekleden met aarde. Ze komen veel voor op grotere hoogtes. Dassen en coyotes jagen op goffers door hun holen uit te graven, terwijl wezels en slangen ze ondergronds opeten. Ze worden ook bejaagd door stinkdieren, uilen, lynxen en haviken.

Habitat

Goffers leven overal waar ze eten kunnen vinden en waar goede grond is om in te graven, van de woestijn tot de bergen. Ze zijn het hele jaar actief. Tunnelsystemen zijn soms meer dan 120 m lang. Eén goffer verplaatst jaarlijks zo'n 1130 kg grond, zoals door een studie in Utah is aangetoond. Ze maken zeer gecompliceerde systemen met allerlei verschillende soorten holen, tot 3 meter diep. Ze gebruiken hun voorpoten, klauwen en soms hun tanden voor het graven. De overtollige aarde wordt naar buiten geschoven.

Goffers zijn solitair, territoriaal en agressief, behalve tijdens de paartijd in de lente. De polygame mannetjes gaan waarschijnlijk op zoek naar vrouwtjes. 19 dagen later worden één tot 7 jongen geboren, die aan het eind van de zomer onafhankelijk worden. Vrouwtjes kunnen in één jaar meerdere nesten krijgen.

Žije prevažne samotársky. V kyprej zemi si vyhrabáva rozsiahle norové systémy- slúžia mu na to silné predné nohy s veľkými pazúrikmi. Má plochú hlavu, dlhé fúzy a malé uši kryté srsťou. Požiera korienky, hľuzy a iné podzemné časti rastlín. Vrchná časť tela je sivohnedá, spodná hnedooranžová.
