Seewis virus, a genetically distinct hantavirus in the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus)

Virology Journal, 2007
More than 20 years ago, hantaviral antigens were reported in tissues of the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus), Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens) and common mole (Talpa europea), suggesting that insectivores, or soricomorphs, might serve as ...

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

A new species of Alticola (Mammalia, Rodentia, Arvicolinae) from southern Tibet, China [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
The complex topography and diverse habitats of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have made it a center of speciation and evolution for various taxa, including small mammals. Our surveys in 2008 and 2023 on the southern part of the plateau discovered a population

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Proteomic analysis resulting in species‐level identification of recently diverged North American arvicoline rodents

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1240-1251, October 2025.
ABSTRACT North American arvicoline rodents have long been considered to have high biogeographic, biochronologic, and paleoecological value. They provide relative dating of faunal assemblages when absolute dating is not possible and contribute to paleobiome characterization.

A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 925-943, August 2025.
Abstract 1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave.
