Fatty Acid Composition of M. Biceps Femoris of Edible Dormouse (Glis glis L.) [PDF]
Animals, 2022 This study aimed to investigate the fatty acid (FA) composition of edible dormouse m. biceps femoris in both sexes. More than 20 FA were identified in the muscle, with the 18:1cis-9 (oleic acid) being the most abundant in both sexes, comprising more than

Gastrointestinal Mast Cell Tumor in an African Dormouse (Graphiurus sp.) [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are well-known neoplasms derived from either mucosal or connective tissue mast cells. While well studied in several domestic species, MCTs are rarely documented in rodents.

Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Hazel Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius): First Insights on Genetic Data Quality From the First Pilot Study [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGenetic non‐invasive sampling (gNIS) methods, which enable DNA extraction from naturally shed materials, offer a powerful, low‐impact tool for studying elusive species, minimising disturbance and ethical concerns. However, such approaches require careful

Variation in Mortality and Ageing Rate in a Fast‐Paced Species: Insights From 24 Years of Hazel Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) Data [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRecent research has found that, among some mammal species, differences in environmental conditions among populations of the same species drive changes in infant and juvenile mortality, but not in the rate of senescence, also known as the rate of ageing ...
