Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We provide a systematic review of methodologies used to study personality in small mammals. We propose adopting ‘Standardised Experimental Design’ and ‘Behavioural Measurements’ to effectively compare results across studies and foster progress in this field.

Sin nombre virus and rodent species diversity: a test of the dilution and amplification hypotheses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Species diversity is proposed to greatly impact the prevalence of pathogens. Two predominant hypotheses, the "Dilution Effect" and the "Amplification Effect", predict divergent outcomes with respect to the impact of species diversity.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.This study evaluated whether artificial shelters can mimic the microclimatic benefits of foundation shrubs to support vertebrate biodiversity in dryland ecosystems facing desertification. Surveys conducted at Californian desert sites (2022–2023) showed that artificial shelters increased vertebrate abundance and richness, performing comparably to native

Shrub encroachment promotes positive feedbacks from herbivores that reinforce ecosystem change
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Herbivores can be drivers of ecosystem change by triggering and reinforcing vegetation transitions. Such processes may be prevalent in drylands with low productivity where herbivore abundances are linked to climate‐driven resource pulses.

Recommendations for translocating the New Mexico jumping mouse (Zapus luteus)
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.Restoring degraded riparian areas will improve habitat for the wildlife that rely on them such as the endangered New Mexico jumping mouse, a riparian obligate. We translocated New Mexico jumping mice to avoid harming them during active stream restoration.

Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.
