An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Broadening the distribution of the microendemic shrew Cryptotis phillipsii (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae)

Therya Notes, 2020
La musaraña de orejas pequeñas de Phillips, Cryptotis phillipsii (Schaldach, 1966), está geográficamente restringida a pequeños parches de bosques nuboso de montaña en el sur de Oaxaca, México.  Los registros de distribución y los especímenes de C. phillipsii son relativamente escasos, por lo que sigue siendo una especie poco conocida.

Holocene mammals (Insectivora, Rodentia, Chiroptera) of Dollsteinhola Cave, Western Norway

Fauna Norvegica
The Dolisteinhola cave comprises a sequence of Holocene deposits dating from the late Atlanticum to the first half of the Subboreal period. Climate-sensitive species were found in layers V (Sciurus vulgaris) and layers II - III, IV, IV - V (Apodemus ...

Validating Airborne eDNA Using Manual Surveys, Acoustic Monitoring and Camera Traps to Detect Birds and Mammals in an Agroforestry Setting

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
In this study, we provide the first comparison of airborne eDNA with observer‐based surveys and passive acoustic monitoring, alongside camera traps, to monitor birds and mammals in a Dutch agroforestry system. Airborne eDNA showed the highest potential species diversity, detected many unique species–including invasive mammals–and complemented ...

W(h)ither Fossils? Studying Morphological Character Evolution in the Age of Molecular Sequences [PDF]

, 2008
A major challenge in the post-genomics era will be to integrate molecular sequence data from extant organisms with morphological data from fossil and extant taxa into a single, coherent picture of phylogenetic relationships; only then will these ...

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 953-969, November 2025.
Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

Chromosome localization of microsatellite markers in the shrews of the Sorex araneus group [PDF]

, 2018
The extremely high rate of karyotypic evolution that characterizes the shrews of the Sorex araneus group makes this group an exceptionally interesting model for population genetics and evolutionary studies.

Changes in utilization of canal crossing structures by desert mammal communities during the COVID‐19 lockdown

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We investigated desert mammals' utilization of canal wildlife crossing structures (WCSs) in Xinjiang, China, employing COVID‐19 lockdowns as a natural experiment to evaluate anthropogenic disturbance effects. Camera trap data for four focal species revealed shifts in encounter rates, activity patterns, and predator‐prey interactions across pandemic ...
