Microtus quasiater (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
Mammalian Species, 2018 Microtus quasiater (Coues, 1874) is a small arvicoline rodent commonly known as the Jalapan pine vole. It is 1 of 7 species of Microtus that live in Mexico. M. quasiater has a restricted distribution, and typically inhabits mountain cloud forest in the Sierra Madre Oriental along a narrow zone at elevations from about 700 to 2,150 m. It is a generalist

Microtus agrestis (Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2017 Microtus agrestis (Linnaeus, 1761) is a relatively small microtine rodent commonly called the field vole. It has a compact body, blunt oval head, short round ears that barely protrude from the fur, and a short, bicolored, rather stiff tail. It is easily confused with sympatric or parapatric Microtus arvalis, M. oeconomus, and M.

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).

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 953-969, November 2025.Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

Evidence that ebolaviruses and cuevaviruses have been diverging from marburgviruses since the Miocene [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 An understanding of the timescale of evolution is critical for comparative virology but remains elusive for many RNA viruses. Age estimates based on mutation rates can severely underestimate divergences for ancient viral genes that are evolving under ...

Generation of Knock‐In Syrian Hamsters via Zygote Microinjection Using CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing
genesis, Volume 63, Issue 5, October 2025.ABSTRACT Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) have long served as valuable model organisms in diverse research fields such as oncology, immunology, and physiology owing to their unique biological and pathological characteristics. Although embryo manipulation techniques such as embryo collection, pronuclear microinjection, and embryo transfer have ...
