Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1187-1203, December 2025.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.

Effectiveness of temporal matching in ecological niche models: Insights for a low‐dispersing species
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Ecological niche models, crucial for estimating the potential distribution of species under global change, can face reduced accuracy when the timing of occurrence data does not align with the environmental data. One solution is to ensure a close temporal match between the environment and the observation date.

Network dynamics revealed from eDNA highlight seasonal variation in urban mammal communities
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1587-1602, August 2025.Our novel study applied eDNA to track seasonal shifts in urban mammal communities, revealing changes in diversity and species interaction networks across 21 urban parks in Detroit. We highlight the influence of park size and human activity on biodiversity, demonstrating the utility of eDNA for urban conservation and wildlife management.

Geographic variation in Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015 We analyzed the geographic variations in the shape and size of the cranium and mandible of two woolly opossums, Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus. Using geometric morphometrics we analyzed 202 specimens of C.
