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 ...
