Patterns of arboreal and terrestrial space use by non-volant small mammals in an Araucaria forest of southern Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014
Despite the advances in the techniques for researching arboreal small mammals, detailed ecological data, such as habitat use patterns, are practically nonexistent for many species.

Skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)—From skin respiration to thermoregulation

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 108-133, July 2025.
The skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been examined using histological, morphometric, and μCT methods. During a long period of postnatal development, the structural differentiation of the skin results in a functional shift from transcutaneous gas exchange to thermoregulation in later life.

Diversity and Activity Pattern of Terrestrial Mammal Species in Serra do Amolar, Brazilian Pantanal 巴西潘塔纳尔湿地阿莫拉尔山脉陆生哺乳动物物种的多样性及活动模式

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 56-63, June 2025.
The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.

Mitigating Road Barrier Effects for Small Mammals: Evidence From Wildlife Passages in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 6, June 2025.
Roads increase wildlife mortality and isolate populations. This study monitored the movements and abundance of small mammals in areas with and without wildlife passages along BR‐101 in Rio de Janeiro for 12 months. Our results show that although many mammals avoid roads, some species use these passages, increasing population connectivity.

EVOLUTION OF SCAPULA SIZE AND SHAPE IN DIDELPHID MARSUPIALS (DIDELPHIMORPHIA: DIDELPHIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 2009
The New World family Didelphidae, the basal lineage within marsupials, is commonly viewed as morphologically conservative, yet includes aquatic, terrestrial, scansorial, and arboreal species. Here, I quantitatively estimated the existing variability in size and shape of the Didelphidae scapula (1076 specimens from 56 species) using geometric ...

Tail use behavior to carry vegetable matter by Marmosops incanus (Lund, 1840) and Didelphis aurita (Wied-Neuwied, 1826) (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Mammalogy
This study describes Marmosops incanus and Didelphis aurita using their tails to carry plant material, probably for nesting. This is the first record of this behavior for M. incanus and for the tribe Thylamyini.
