Necrophagous Muscoids that develop in carcasses of Didelphis albiventris Lund, 1841 (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil [PDF]

Biotemas, 2010
Information regarding the similarity of the fauna that colonizes decomposing wildlife is insipient among the different carcass models. Species with different tissues and alimentary diets are hypothesized to be a colonization source of different ...

Modelling marsupial mastication: The biomechanical bite model of the Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina (Marsupialia, Didelphidae). [PDF]

J Anat
The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

High Elevation Occurrences of Jaguars (<i>Panthera onca</i>, Linnaeus 1758) (Mammalia, Felidae) in Northwestern Mexico, With a Record of Collaborative Interactions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Jaguars in the northern end of their distribution have recently become the center of conservation efforts; however, the State of Chihuahua has been underrepresented in monitoring projects. We present five new records of jaguars in high altitudes as well as the first evidence of two jaguars exhibiting cooperative behavior in Mexico.

Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Sky islands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change. We examined the spruce‐fir–northern hardwood ecotone as a possible refugium for mammals in the Southern Appalachian red spruce (Picea rubens)–Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) sky islands.

Thylamys pallidior (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2010
Abstract Thylamys pallidior (O. Thomas, 1902) is a didelphid marsupial commonly called the white-bellied fat-tailed mouse opossum. A small mouse opossum, with tricolored pelage and a white venter, it has a seasonally incrassated tail, where fat deposits, primarily at the tail base, function in food storage.
