Assessing the Effects of Landscape Change on the Occupancy Dynamics of the Greater White-Toothed Shrew Crocidura russula

open access: yesLife, 2022
Land-use change is the main driver of biodiversity loss in the Mediterranean basin. New socio-economic conditions produced a rewilding process so that cultural landscapes are being invaded by more natural habitats.

New look to the con-specificity of the two shrews, Crocidura gmelini and C. suaveolens from Iran; geometric morphometric approach [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2017
New advances in molecular techniques are substantially reshaping our understanding of taxonomy. However, combining molecular and morphologic data is a prevailing trend towards integral taxonomy.

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Incongruences between morphology and molecular phylogeny provide an insight into the diversification of the Crocidura poensis species complex

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Untangling the factors of morphological evolution has long held a central role in the study of evolutionary biology. Extant speciose clades that have only recently diverged are ideal study subjects, as they allow the examination of rapid morphological ...

Phylogeography of the White-Toothed Shrews Crocidura suaveolens and Crocidura sibirica: Searching for the Geographical Homeland

open access: yesBiology Bulletin, 2022
We studied the polymorphism of the cytb gene in two forms of the Lesser White-toothed Shrew species complex: Crocidura suaveolens s. stricto and C. sibirica . The haplotypes of C.

White-toothed shrews (Mammalia, Soricomorpha, Crocidura) of coastal islands of Vietnam

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
New findings of the white-toothed shrews (Crocidura spp.) from offshore islands of Vietnam are reported. The species identifications have been confirmed by the analysis of complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1140 bp).

Mammal endemism In Italy: A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although there are various checklists of Italian mammals, there is not yet a synthesis of those mammals that are endemic to Italy. Therefore, we provide for the first time a detailed review on Italian mammal endemic species including endemic taxa ...
