Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Hazards to golden-mantled ground squirrels and associated secondary hazard potential from strychnine baiting for forest pocket gophers [PDF]
, 1984 Radio telemetry and capture-recapture techniques were used to evaluate the hazards to golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis) from hand baiting with 0.5% strychnine-treated oats for western pocket gophers (Thomomys mazama) on conifer ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Collection of blood from wild‐caught mice (Peromyscus) via submandibular venipuncture
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 ABSTRAC Submandibular venipuncture is a common technique used to harvest whole blood from laboratory‐strain mice, but its effectiveness on wild‐caught Peromyscus spp. has not been formally tested.

Biological control of conifer seed damage by the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) [PDF]
, 1978 This paper describes the development of a biological technique that successfully controls conifer seed damage by the deer mouse. Eleven experiments have been conducted on three study areas at the University of British Columbia Research Forest, Maple ...

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.
