Update of the Scientific Opinion on the risks for human health related to the presence of perchlorate in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2014 risk assessment on perchlorate in food. Perchlorate is a contaminant of both natural and anthropogenic sources present in food and drinking water. It is a substrate for the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) and competitively inhibits the uptake of iodide into the thyroid.

Gut Microecology of Four Sympatric Desert Rodents Varies by Diet

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
We observed significant differences in the gut microbial composition of four species of rodents living in the same habitat but each consuming different diets. These differences in gut microbiota may arise as adaptations to their distinct diets and digestive needs, thereby enhancing their ability to live within the same ecosystem.

Geographical distribution and species variation of gut microbiota in small rodents from the agro‐pastoral transition ecotone in northern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
This study explored the gut microbiota of four rodent species in northern China and found that microbial composition was more influenced by geographic location than host species, highlighting the pivotal role of the local environment in shaping gut microbiota.

Resolving Rapid Radiation of Voles and Lemmings (Arvicolinae: Cricetinae, Rodentia) with QuaddRAD Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis

Diversity
Voles and lemmings (subfamily Arvicolinae) remain some of the most difficult groups for disentangling phylogenetic relations owing to recent and very fast explosive radiation.

Risks for animal health related to the presence of ergot alkaloids in feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA to provide an update of the 2012 Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) on the risks for animal health related to the presence of ergot alkaloids (EAs) in feed. EAs are produced by several fungi of the Claviceps and Epichloë genera.

The bushlike radiation of muroid rodents is exemplified by the molecular phylogeny of the LCAT nuclear gene. [PDF]

, 2000
peer reviewedPhylogenetic relationships among 40 extant species of rodents, with an emphasis on the taxonomic sampling of Muridae and Dipodidae, were studied using sequences of the nuclear protein-coding gene LCAT (lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase).
