The Marsupial Database: A comprehensive dataset on the ecology and life history of American and Australasian marsupials. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Marsupials are an important but typically neglected group of mammals that have been overlooked in many comparative analyses of vertebrate ecology and life history evolution. In order to address this knowledge bias, we have developed The Marsupial Database.

Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

Frozen and Scorched: Genomic Signatures of Adaptive Divergence and Hibernation in the Living Fossil <i>Dromiciops</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We evaluated adaptation to torpor and hibernation in the genus Dromiciops by comparing it with both torpid and non‐torpid marsupials, and investigated divergent selection signals between its two species. For the ancestral node, we identified positive selection in the genes PFKFB2, LAMP3, OTX1, and RAPSN, alongside an enrichment of pathways potentially ...
