Comparative morphology of the dormouse skull [PDF]
Abstract Dormice exhibit both inter- and intrageneric variation in cranial and mandibular morphology. Using geometric morphometrics, the form of eight out of nine extant dormouse genera was analysed, to provide a better understanding of the overall morphological variation present within Gliridae.

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Bird-nest analysis: A rarely tested noninvasive survey method for monitoring mammals [PDF]
Surveys of mammals can be difficult to carry out due to their elusive lifestyle and nocturnal behavior. In order to minimize the disturbance to target species, indirect or noninvasive methods are recommended. These techniques can enable the collection of

Artificial nest boxes increased nesting opportunities for birds when tailored to their ecological needs. More complex and heterogeneous landscapes with greater forest and shrub cover increased nest box use. Nest box placement height and management‐related factors also influenced their occupation.
