Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Peromyscus levipes (Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]
Abstract Peromyscus levipes Merriam, 1898, commonly called the nimbled-footed deermouse, is 1 of 56 species of Peromyscus. It is often confused with other members of the boylii group; therefore, researchers may need to rely on craniometric and karyotypic data to make a positive identification. P.

Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest
Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

Leech blood meals are ingenious biodiversity trackers in Thailand's rainforests. DNA analysis of these meals revealed over 30 vertebrate species, including elusive Malayan Tapirs and Clouded Leopards. Furthermore, multiple host DNAs within single leeches suggest a healthy, abundant wildlife population, making them an effective, noninvasive monitoring ...
