Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim We address a critical gap in the elevational community ecology of tropical non‐volant mammals in the Australian and Oceanian zoogeographic realms. Specifically, we document alpha and beta diversity, environmental predictors and community composition of individual clades in relation to their ecology and evolutionary history along an ...

Patterns of selectivity in introductions of mammal species worldwide [PDF]
, 2017 Humans have an extremely long history of transporting and introducing mammal species outside their native geographic range. The characteristics of the species introduced (taxonomy, life-history, ecology, environment) can all influence which traits are ...

Statistical support for the hypothesis of developmental constraint in marsupial skull evolution. [PDF]
, 2013 Background: In contrast to placental neonates, in which all cranial bones are ossified, marsupial young have only the bones of the oral region and the exoccipital ossified at birth, in order to facilitate suckling at an early stage of development.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Conservation is impossible if we have not described all of the species we aim to conserve. This paper reviews the taxonomy of the kultarr (Antechinomys laniger) a small arid‐zone specialist native to Australia. We describe a new species, A. auritus sp. nov., and resurrect a formerly recognized species, A. spenceri. ABSTRACT Globally, mammal species are

On calibrating the completometer for the mammalian fossil record [PDF]
, 2022 We know that the fossil record is incomplete. But how incomplete? Here we very coarsely estimate the completeness of the mammalian record in the Miocene, assuming that the duration of a mammalian species is about 1 Myr and the species diversity has ...

Down to earth: therian mammals became more terrestrial towards the end of the Cretaceous
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract The end Cretaceous extinctions had a profound effect on mammalian diversity, especially on metatherians (marsupials and their extinct relatives). Could mammalian substrate preference have influenced differential survival patterns? The plant fossil record shows changing angiosperm leaf anatomy during the last ten million years of the Cretaceous
