Procavia capensis – Rock Hyrax

Taxonomic notes: While as many as 17 subspecies have been described across its range by Hoeck and Bloomer (2013), only one (P. c. capensis), is recognised from the assessment region (Meester et al. 1986). However, Prinsloo and Robinson (1992) discovered a genetic break between the north-western and south-central populations in South Africa, indicating a possible species complex. Similarly, Viss...

Sleep in the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis.

We investigated sleep in therock hyrax, Procavia capensis, a social mammal that typically lives in colonies on rocky outcrops throughout most parts of Southern Africa. The sleep of 5 wild-captured, adult rock hyraxes was recorded continuously for 72 h using telemetric relay of signals and allowing unimpeded movement. In addition to waking, slow wave sleep (SWS) and an unambiguous rapid eye move...

"domestication" of Hyrax (procavia Capensis), in Yemen

ABSTRAO'.-A case of attempted small mammal "domestication" is described based on ethnographic data from the Yemen Arab Republic (Fig. 1). Households of low economic status sought to supplement their cash incomes by taming a previously hunted species, the hyrax, Promvm CJlpensis jayakari. The experiments have largely ended in failure due to factors including the animal's biology and a poor manag...

Steroidogenic correlates of pregnancy in the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis).

In pregnant rock hyraxes isolated leucocytes metabolise both [3H]pregnenolone and [3H]progesterone while whole blood, erythrocytes and an erythrocyte/leucocyte mixture only metabolised [3H]progesterone. Plasma displayed no tendency to metabolically convert any one of these two steroids. In whole blood [3H]progesterone appears to be converted to 5alpha-pregnane-3,20-dione and a compound with chr...

Geographic mitochondrial DNA variation in the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis.

Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were used to evaluate geographic population genetic structure in the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, a species which occurs widely, though restricted to rocky habitat, throughout South Africa. Ten restriction endonucleases were employed to assay mtDNAs from 55 specimens representing 10 localities. Haplotypes showed strong geo...
