Determining Extinction for Small Cryptic Species: The Morro Bay Kangaroo Rat
Diversity, 2023 One third of missing mammal species thought to be extinct have been rediscovered. Determining extinction correctly, without misinterpreting negative evidence, is difficult and takes significant effort, especially for small, cryptic species. The Morro Bay

Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]
LipidsAbstract The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders.

Genetic diversity, recombination, and divergence in animal associated Penicillium dipodomyis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Penicillium dipodomyis is thought to be an exclusively asexual fungus associated with Kangaroo Rats, Dipodomys species, and is unique among Penicillium species in growing at 37°C but producing no known toxins. Lack of recombination within P.

Rodents’ responses to manipulated plant litter and seed densities: implications for restoration [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Rodent populations in arid grasslands do not always track seed production, possibly due to high levels of plant litter. When natural disturbances are suppressed, litter accumulates becoming physically complex, causing rodents to harvest fewer seeds per ...

Does urbanization ameliorate the effect of endoparasite infection in kangaroo rats?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Urban development can fragment and degrade remnant habitat. Such habitat alterations can have profound impacts on wildlife, including effects on population density, parasite infection status, parasite prevalence, and body condition.

Comparison between the kinematics for kangaroo rat hopping on a solid versus sand surface
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 In their natural habitats, animals move on a variety of substrates, ranging from solid surfaces to those that yield and flow (e.g. sand). These substrates impose different mechanical demands on the musculoskeletal system and may therefore elicit ...
