Molecular-phylogenetic analyses of Ixodes species from South Africa suggest an African origin of bird-associated exophilic ticks (subgenus Trichotoixodes)

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Among hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae), the genus Ixodes comprises the highest number of species, which in turn are most numerous in the Afrotropical zoogeographic region.

The Fast and the Furriest: Investigating the Rate of Selection on Mammalian Toxins

Toxins, 2022
The evolution of venom and the selection pressures that act on toxins have been increasingly researched within toxinology in the last two decades, in part due to the exceptionally high rates of diversifying selection observed in animal toxins.

They can dig it: semifossorial habits of the Mexican small-eared shrew (Mammalia: Cryptotis mexicanus)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2017
Some small-eared shrews, genus Cryptotis, display modifications of the forelimb that have been interpreted as an adaptation for burrowing. As most of the species in the genus inhabit areas with poor accessibility and it is difficult to obtain direct ...

Supplementary Material for: Chromosome Evolution in Eulipotyphla

, 2017
We integrated chromosome painting information on 5 core-insectivora species available in the literature with new Zoo-FISH data for Iberian shrew (Sorex granarius) and Altai mole (Talpa altaica). Our analysis of these 7 species allowed us to determine the

Regional variation in the size of the common shrew Sorex araneus in Norway

Fauna Norvegica, 1994
We analyzed variation related to region, age, and sex in the length and height of the mandible of the common shrew Sorex araneus in Norway (n = 261), with some notes on the length of the tail and on the body weight. Specimens were classified by four age
