Phylogenetic signal and functional significance of incisor enamel microstructure in Arvicola (Rodentia, Arvicolinae)

open access: yesComptes Rendus Palevol, 2011
Abstract Many genera of arvicolid rodents (voles) contain species that spend a considerable amount of time underground. Incisors provide a considerable effort in the digging process and a difference in the enamel microstructure of incisors is expected between species that spend most of their life above ground and those who have greater ...

Small rodent population cycles and plants – after 70 years, where do we go?

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 265-294, February 2024.
ABSTRACT Small rodent population cycles characterise northern ecosystems, and the cause of these cycles has been a long‐lasting central topic in ecology, with trophic interactions currently considered the most plausible cause. While some researchers have rejected plant–herbivore interactions as a cause of rodent cycles, others have continued to ...

The spermatozoa structure peculiarities of the subgenus Sumeriomys (Rodentia, Arvicolinae, Microtus)

open access: yesRussian Journal of Theriology, 2015
Owing to distinct differences in size and shape in different taxa, spermatozoa can be of a high diagnostic value. The functional and evolutionary nature of such diversity is poorly understood. The purpose of the study was to summarize the data on the differences in sperm design and linear parameters between the subgenera Sumeriomys and Microtus (the ...

The diet of wintering Barn Owls (Tyto alba) in the region of Histria, the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2008
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is a common nocturnal predator of agro-ecosystems and it is widely distributed, especially in European countryside. The species uses human artifacts, ruins, barns, attics, towers for breeding and roosting, these sites can provide

Rapid development of mature vocal patterns of ultrasonic calls in a fast-growing rodent, the yellow steppe lemming (Eolagurus luteus).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of laboratory rodents may serve as age-dependent indicators of emotional arousal and anxiety. Fast-growing Arvicolinae rodent species might be advantageous wild-type animal models for behavioural and medical research ...

Downregulation of FGF Signaling by Spry4 Overexpression Leads to Shape Impairment, Enamel Irregularities, and Delayed Signaling Center Formation in the Mouse Molar. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
FGF signaling plays a critical role in tooth development, and mutations in modulators of this pathway produce a number of striking phenotypes. However, many aspects of the role of the FGF pathway in regulating the morphological features and the mineral ...
