Effects of age, density, and seasonality on molt pattern in the mammal genus (Peromyscus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Molting, or replacement of pelage (hair) in mammals, occurs during ontogeny as individuals transition from juveniles to adults. Environmental factors can cause variation in molt in many species for thermoregulatory and camouflage purposes.

Trap‐dependence in capture–recapture studies: empirical evidence in vertebrates and biological meaning

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

Can hierarchical modelling of co‐occurrence data provide accurate inference into species interactions?

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 456-479, February 2026.
Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data

The gross morphology of the stomach of the Malaysian lesser mousedeer (Tragulus javanicus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
The gross morphology of the stomach of the lesser mouse deer is described. Characteristically, the rumen is S-shaped spirally twisted and has large ventral and caudoventral sacs. The omasum is vestigeal and is represented by an area of about (2-3 cm').

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

GPNMB immunohistochemistry is a useful ancillary tool for the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis

open access: yesHistopathology, Volume 88, Issue 3, Page 698-709, February 2026.
We evaluated the diagnostic utility of GPNMB immunohistochemistry in LAM. GPNMB showed strong expression in LAM cells, while the differential diagnostic mimics showed no or only low expression. Based on its 100% sensitivity and specificity in our cohort, GPNMB is a highly reliable immunohistochemical marker for the diagnosis of LAM.

Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 54-64, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...
