Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]
LipidsAbstract The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders.

Net primary productivity but not its remote-sensing proxies predict mammal diversity in Andean-Amazonian rainforests. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Tropical forests are disappearing, but we have a limited understanding of the factors driving species coexistence in mammal communities of old‐growth forest ecosystems. The total energy that is bound by plants is assumed to be a key factor determining mammalian species richness, but accurately measuring energy flows in complex ecosystems is ...
