Captive Dwarf and Mouse Lemurs Have Variable Fur Growth
Animals, 2020 Researchers typically assume constant fur and hair growth for primates, but the few studies that have investigated growth explicitly suggest this may not be the case. Instead, growth may vary considerably among individuals and across seasons.

Meal time shift disturbs circadian rhythmicity along with metabolic and behavioral alterations in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In modern society, growing numbers of people are engaged in various forms of shift works or trans-meridian travels. Such circadian misalignment is known to disturb endogenous diurnal rhythms, which may lead to harmful physiological consequences including

Selective sleep deprivation after daily torpor in the Djungarian hamster [PDF]
Journal of Sleep Research, 2002 SUMMARYSleep, daily torpor and hibernation are no longer considered homologous processes. Animals emerging from these states spend most of their time in sleep. After termination of the torpor‐associated hypothermia, there is an initial high electroenecephalogram (EEG) slow‐wave activity (SWA; 0.75–4.0 Hz) and a subsequent monotonic decline.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

State-dependent metabolic partitioning and energy conservation: A theoretical framework for understanding the function of sleep. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Metabolic rate reduction has been considered the mechanism by which sleep conserves energy, similar to torpor or hibernation. This mechanism of energy savings is in conflict with the known upregulation (compared to wake) of diverse functions during sleep

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.Review on the outcomes of long‐term, individual‐based monitoring for bat conservation, focusing on data generated by automated passive integrated transponder monitoring. We show that this technique offers new possibilities for long‐term bat monitoring by facilitating the collection of highly relevant conservation data.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We evaluated adaptation to torpor and hibernation in the genus Dromiciops by comparing it with both torpid and non‐torpid marsupials, and investigated divergent selection signals between its two species. For the ancestral node, we identified positive selection in the genes PFKFB2, LAMP3, OTX1, and RAPSN, alongside an enrichment of pathways potentially ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated age‐related telomere dynamics in the tropical bat Molossus molossus using a long‐term mark‐recapture study of 492 individuals from Panama. We documented a female surviving to at least 13 years, more than doubling the previously reported maximum lifespan, while finding no consistent evidence of age‐related telomere shortening.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Using 25 years of capture data from Fort Campbell Military Installation, we evaluated whether white‐nose syndrome (WNS)‐driven declines in susceptible bats were followed by increases in non‐susceptible species (ecological release) versus shifts driven by land use change, at the installation and site specific spatial scales.

Thermoregulation and rhythmicity in <em>Eliomys melanurus</em> from the Negev Highlands, Israel
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995 <strong>Abstract</strong> Oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>) and body temperature (T<sub>b</sub>) were measured in the Asian Garden Dormouse, <em>Eliomys melanurus</em>, from a population inhabiting the ...
