| Predators of erethizontids include mustelids such as martens, minks, wolverines, ermine, weasels, and fishers. |
|
| The Siberian weasel also known as the Siberian mink or kolinsky is the most common among Asian mustelids. |
|
| In only two locations of H. javanicus introduction are there native or introduced herpestids, viverrids, or mustelids. |
|
| Two new extinct species are named and two of the mustelids may represent extinct new species as well. |
|
| Europeans arrived in the early 1800s, bringing with them mustelids, cats, and two more species of rats. |
|
| Molar polymorphism is probably a primitive mammalian character, conserved in marsupials and mustelids. |
|
| Like other mustelids, fishers have a high metabolic rate and are ravenous eaters. |
|
| This is also present in M. parvivorus, M. cognitus, all canids, and some procyonids, but is not present in viverrids, felids, or mustelids. |
|
| During this period all hypercarnivorous forms disappeared from the fossil record, including hypercarnivorous canids and mustelids, in addition to feliforms. |
|
| Mating systems vary among families, ranging from monogamy in the wolf and polygyny in most bears and mustelids to harems in elephant seals. |
|
| Loping is common among mustelids, and it takes some practice to be able to distinguish the tracks of the various species. |
|
| When riparian cover is lacking, adults are vulnerable to raptors, mustelids and other predators. |
|
| Regarding the other species of mustelids, they occupy areas near rivers and streams. |
|
| Fishers are among the least understood of the weasel family, or mustelids, which also includes martens, minks, ermines, ferrets, badgers, otters, and wolverines. |
|
| Since European settlement of New Zealand began, over 80 species of alien vertebrates have been introduced, including three species of rodents, three mustelids, six marsupials and seven deer species. |
|
| Unlike with other small mustelids, ovulation is not induced, and pregnancy occurs immediately after mating. |
|
| Small mustelids frequently inhabit the ancient stone graves, and the sites' bone records may to some extent reflect their diet. |
|
| They are, in fact, mustelids, related to stoats, polecats, otters and badgers. |
|
| Winter distribution and abundance of mustelids and beavers in the river valleys of Bialowieza Primeval Forest. |
|
| How he found time to plough a VW Transporter full of dead mustelids into a Gloucester bus stop is unclear, but clearly the Gulf of Aden's loss was the badger cull's gain. |
|
|
|
| Pigs, mustelids, chinchillas, poultry except ducks and geese. |
|
| Red foxes may kill small mustelids like weasels, stone martens, pine martens, stoats, kolonoks, polecats and young sables. |
|
| Like other mustelids, the European polecat is polygamous, though pregnancy occurs directly after mating, with no induced ovulation. |
|
| In comparison to other similarly sized mustelids, the polecat's teeth are very strong, large and massive in relation to skull size. |
|
| The polecat is not as territorial as other small mustelids, having been known to share territories with other members of the same sex. |
|
| Like other mustelids, the polecat is usually a silent animal, though it will growl fiercely when angered, and squeak when distressed. |
|
| Weasels and other mustelids are known to hunt primarily by sound. |
|
| Mustelids and felids were expected to have the strongest bites and canids the weakest. |
|
| Mustelids are plantigrade or digitigrade, and their feet have five toes. |
|
| Character displacement, sexual dimorphism, and morphologicalvariation among British and kish Mustelids. |
|
| Several other Mustelids also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. |
