Adaptive divergence in reproductive seasonality and underlying physiological features fit Rattus norvegicus to live as opportunistic breeders

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 817-835, July 2025.
Brown rats living at different latitudes have evolved reproductive patterns adapted to their local environments. Besides expected adaptive divergence in seasonality, a distinct regulating mechanism from typical seasonal breeders reveals how brown rats benefit from quicker semen production to live as opportunistic breeders.

Continental Patterns of Phenotypic Variation Along Replicated Urban Gradients: A Mega‐Analysis

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
Using a mega‐analysis approach with long‐term data from 21 urban and nonurban great and blue tit populations, we introduce and test hypotheses to determine how urbanisation affects tarsus length and lay date variation at different population levels. We find that urbanisation is associated with increases in phenotypic variation within subpopulations by ...

Effect of Resource Abundance on Woodland Rodents' Demography at Latitudinal Extremes in Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The study aimed to assess the role of food availability on rodent demography in populations characterised by different dynamics, that is multiannual cycles in Northern European populations and mast‐driven outbreaks in Southern European populations. ABSTRACT Climate change effects on primary productivity are especially evident along altitudinal and ...

Host‐Microbiome Associations of Native and Invasive Small Mammals Across a Tropical Urban–Rural Ecotone

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Global change and urbanisation profoundly alter wildlife habitats, driving native animals into novel habitats while increasing the co‐occurrence between native and invasive species. Host‐microbiome associations are shaped by host traits and environmental features, but little is known about their plasticity in co‐occurring native and invasive ...

Emerging infectious disease implications of invasive mammalian species : the greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is associated with a novel serovar of pathogenic Leptospira in Ireland [PDF]

, 2016
The greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is an invasive mammalian species that was first recorded in Ireland in 2007. It currently occupies an area of approximately 7,600 km2 on the island. C. russula is normally distributed in Northern Africa

Detection of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus GI.2/RHDV2/b in the Mediterranean Pine Vole (Microtus duodecimcostatus) and White-Toothed Shrew (Crocidura russula)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2019
: The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a key prey species on the Iberian Peninsula, and several predator species that are at risk of extinction are dependent on them as prey.
