A comparison of brain gene expression levels in domesticated and wild animals.
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Domestication has led to similar changes in morphology and behavior in several animal species, raising the question whether similarities between different domestication events also exist at the molecular level.

Plasticity in climate change responses
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2508-2527, December 2025.ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2962-2973, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 587-600, September 2025.ABSTRACT The diversification of Neotropical sigmodontine rodents represents one of the most remarkable evolutionary events among mammals, encompassing numerous endemic, rare, and endangered genera and species. One of the most emblematic examples is Microakodontomys transitorius Hershkovitz 1993, originally described from a single specimen based on ...

Seasonality in Reproduction and Reproductive Physiology of Caviomorphs
Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 3, July 2025.ABSTRACT Animals experience seasonal fluctuations of photoperiod, food availability, temperature and precipitation. This affects their energy budget, often leading to seasonal reproduction. We review available literature and (re)‐analyse existing datasets on seasonal reproduction of South American caviomorph rodents that are characterised by long ...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8–12 months and life expectancy is ∼5–6 years.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 37-51, January 2024.Oxymycterus rufus increased its abundance in pampaÂ's agroecosystems from 1984 to 2014. Abundance was related to long linear and low perturbed habitats, riparian areas and increased with a decrease in summer temperature and winter precipitation. It increased with high precipitation in spring and summer.
