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 ...

Head and Whisker Behaviours Observed During Foraging in Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We observed a range of behaviours during foraging, including forward swimming, vertical diving, swooping, dabbing, sweeping and rotations. Head dabbing was also sometimes accompanied by the seal producing infrasounds, the bouts of which coincided with rhythmic whisker protractions. ABSTRACT Pinnipeds use their whiskers to detect and follow hydrodynamic

Patterns and Drivers of Knowledge Gaps in Global Databases of Mammal Traits

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Knowledge gaps in biodiversity, particularly in species traits, can hinder an accurate understanding of species roles in ecosystems, limiting our comprehension of ecosystem functions, maintenance and stability. In this study, we quantified data completeness in terrestrial mammals trait databases to identify knowledge gaps and data biases ...

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 536-547, May 2026.
Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Artificial Irrigation Impacts the Seasonal Occurrence of Pathogenic Leptospira in Its Wild Reservoirs in a Mediterranean Environment

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 218-225, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Human activities play a significant role in the emergence of infectious diseases. We aimed to test whether artificial irrigation affects the occurrence of a zoonotic bacteria sensitive to desiccation, pathogenic Leptospira species (pathoLep), in micromammals inhabiting Mediterranean ecosystems.
