Insight into the Epidemiology of Leptospirosis: A Review of Leptospira Isolations from “Unconventional” Hosts

Animals, 2021
Leptospirosis is a re-emerging worldwide zoonotic disease. Even though the primary serological test for diagnosis and surveying is the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), isolation remains the gold-standard test to detect Leptospira infections.

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 536-547, May 2026.
Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Anatomical characterisation of the kidneys of Didelphis aurita (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)

Folia Morphologica, 2020
BACKGROUND: Didelphis aurita is a marsupial with wide distribution in the South American continent and highly adapted to urban centres. The objective of this study was to describe the measurements and skeletopy of the kidneys and renal vascularisation of

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

AMOSTRAGEM PRELIMINAR DA MASTOFAUNA EM VEGETAÇÃO REMANESCENTE DE MATA ATLÂNTICA

Revista UniVap, 2017
Os mamíferos desempenham um papel fundamental no ecossistema como o controle populacional e a regeneração de matas. Buscou-se com este trabalho, obter uma amostragem preliminar da mastofauna presente em um remanescente de floresta atlântica, utilizando ...

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 ...

Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...
