List of mustelids

{{short description|Species in mammal family Mustelidae}} [[File:Mustelidae-01.jpg|thumb|right|Six extant mustelid genera left-to-right, top-to-bottom: ''[[Martes]]'', ''[[Meles (genus)|Meles]]'', ''[[Lutra]]'', ''[[Gulo]]'', ''[[Mustela]]'', and ''[[Mellivora]]'']] [[Mustelidae]] is a [[Family (taxonomy)|family]] of [[mammal]]s in the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Carnivora]], which includes [[weasel]]s, [[badger]]s, [[otter]]s, [[ferret]]s, [[marten]]s, [[mink]]s, and [[wolverine]]s, and many other [[extant taxon|extant]] and [[extinction|extinct]] [[genus|genera]]. A member of this family is called a mustelid; Mustelidae is the largest family in Carnivora, and its extant species are divided into eight [[subfamily|subfamilies]]. They are found on all continents except Antarctica and Australia, and are a diverse family; sizes range, including tails, from the widespread 17&nbsp;cm (7&nbsp;in) [[least weasel]] to the 1.8-meter (6&nbsp;ft) [[giant otter]] of Amazonian South America. Habitats vary widely as well, from the [[arboreal locomotion|arboreal]] [[marten]] to the [[fossorial]] [[European badger]] to the [[Marine mammal|marine]] [[sea otter]]. Population sizes are largely unknown, though two species, the [[sea mink]] and [[Japanese otter]], were hunted to extinction in 1894 and 1979, respectively, and several other species are [[endangered species|endangered]]. Some species have been domesticated, e.g. the [[ferret]] and some populations of the South American [[tayra]]. Mustelidae is one of the oldest families in Carnivora; early mustelids first appeared around 28–33 million years ago.<ref name="MustelidaeDiversity"/>

The 23 genera and 62 extant species of Mustelidae are split into 8 subfamilies: [[Guloninae]], martens and wolverines; [[Helictidinae]], ferret-badgers; [[Ictonychinae]], African polecats and [[grison]]s; [[Lutrinae]], otters; [[Melinae]], Eurasian badgers; [[Mellivorinae]], the [[honey badger]]; [[Mustelinae]], weasels and minks; and [[Taxidiinae]], the [[American badger]]. In addition to the extant subfamilies, Mustelidae includes three extinct subfamilies designated as Leptarctinae, Mustelavinae, and [[Oligobuninae]]. Extinct species have also been placed into all of the extant subfamilies besides Helictidinae, in both extant and extinct genera; around 200 extinct Mustelidae species have been found, as well as fossil genera not given a species name, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed.

==Conventions== {{IUCN statuses|ex=2|ew=0|en=7|cr=1|vu=6|nt=7|lc=39|dd=1|ne=1}}

The [[author citation (zoology)|author citation]] for the species or genus is given after the scientific name; parentheses around the author citation indicate that this was not the original taxonomic placement. Conservation status codes listed follow the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) [[IUCN Red List|Red List of Threatened Species]]. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the mustelid's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted. All extinct species or subspecies listed alongside [[extant taxon|extant]] species went extinct after 1500 CE, and are indicated by a [[Dagger (typography)|dagger]] symbol "{{dagger|alt=Extinct}}". Population figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.

==Classification== [[File:Mustelid Distribution.png|thumb|right|Mustelidae Distribution|alt=All continents except Antarctica and Australia]] The family Mustelidae consists of 62 extant species belonging to 23 genera and divided into hundreds of subspecies,<!-- A monotypic species counts as 1 subspecies --> as well the extinct [[sea mink]] and [[Japanese otter]], which are the only mustelid species to become extinct since prehistoric times. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 23 genera can be grouped into 8 [[subfamily|subfamilies]]. Some prior classification schemes divided the family solely between the aquatic otters and all other species.
