Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Somali Sengi (Galegeeska revoili, syn Elephantulus revoili) habitat photographs from four localities in Djibouti. The Somali Sengi has been hypothesized as a rupicolous (petrophilic) species based on the collection coordinates of historic museum specimens which generally occur within the montane ecosystems of northern Somalia. However, whether or not the species is an obligate rock-dweller has not been documented. In Djibouti, all evidence of Somali Sengis are from habitats with rocky substrates and relatively sparse vegetation where the predominant sheltering potential is among boulders. A rupicolous characterization of the Somali Sengi is valid, at least in Djibouti. (A) Arta Region, Djalelo Protected Area, Hansane Hill (east side). (B) Tadjoura Region, Goda Mountain, Day Forest Village (south hill). (C) Ali Sabieh Region, Assamo Decan Camp (south ridge base). (D) Arta Region, Arta Town, Oú Est Mon Camarade Hill (south side).
Deutsch: Landschaften im Verbreitungsgebiet der Somali-Elefantenspitzmaus (Galegeeska revoili, syn Elephantulus revoili), fotographiert an vier Lokalitäten Djibouti. Es wurde vermutet, dass die Somali-Elefantenspitzmaus eine an felsigen Untergrund (petrophil) angepasste Art ist, basierend zumeist auf Museumsexemplaren mit bekannten historischen Koordinaten der Aufsammlung, welche alle aus gebirgigen Regionen Somalias stammen. Allerdings wurde dies nie an lebenden Individuen beobachtet. In Djibouti stammen alle Nachweise der Somali-Elefantenspitzmaus von Regionen mit felsigem Untergrund und spärlicher Vegetation, wo die hauptsächlichen Unterschlüpfe große Gerölle darstellen. Eine Bevorzugung von Felslandschaften der Somali-Elefantenspitzmaus ist somit zumindest für Djibouti belegt. (A) Region Arta, Djalelo-Schutzgebiet, Hansane-Hügel (Ostseite). (B) Region Tadjoura, Goda-Gebirge, Forêt du Day (Südhügel). (C) Region Ali Sabieh, Assamo Decan Camp (Basis am Südrücken). (D) Region Arta, Stadt Arta, Hügel Oú Est Mon Camarade (Südseite). |
