Megafaunal Rodents: Behaviour and Ecological Roles of Southeast Asian Forest Porcupines
Southeast Asian porcupines (Malayan porcupine, Hystrix brachyura; brush‐tailed porcupine, Atherurus macrourus) performed at least four important ecological roles in a Malaysian rainforest. Burrows of both species were used in several ways by at least 22 animal species, while the soil above was potentially good sites for seedling recruitment. Porcupines

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data
ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant
