Fur glowing under ultraviolet: in situ analysis of porphyrin accumulation in the skin appendages of mammals

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 15-26, January 2023., 2023
We investigated the UV‐induced photoluminescence of the fur of 23 species of monotremes, marsupial, and placental mammals. We used emission and excitation spectroscopy as well as multispectral imaging to detect, characterize, and map the chemical compounds responsible for the reddish photoluminescence.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...
