| The Siberian weasel also known as the Siberian mink or kolinsky is the most common among Asian mustelids. |
| Fishers are among the least understood of the weasel family, or mustelids, which also includes martens, minks, ermines, ferrets, badgers, otters, and wolverines. |
| Two new extinct species are named and two of the mustelids may represent extinct new species as well. |
| Molar polymorphism is probably a primitive mammalian character, conserved in marsupials and mustelids. |
| In only two locations of H. javanicus introduction are there native or introduced herpestids, viverrids, or mustelids. |
| This is also present in M. parvivorus, M. cognitus, all canids, and some procyonids, but is not present in viverrids, felids, or mustelids. |
