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

Recombination Map of the Common Shrew,Sorex araneus(Eulipotyphla, Mammalia) [PDF]

Genetics, 2008
AbstractThe Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus L.) is characterized by spectacular chromosomal variation, both autosomal variation of the Robertsonian type and an XX/XY1Y2 system of sex determination. It is an important mammalian model of chromosomal and genome evolution as it is one of the few species with a complete genome sequence.

General palaeontology, systematics and evolution (Vertebrate palaeontology) Early Late Miocene insectivores (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia) from the Cañada section (Province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain). [PDF]

, 2012
Vallesian (early Late Miocene) strata from the recently introduced Ca˜nada section (province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain) have yielded fairly large insectivore assemblages. These show that, after the generally dry Aragonian, the Vallesian gave rise

A new Late Agenian (MN2a, Early Miocene) fossil assemblage from Wallenried (Molasse Basin, Canton Fribourg, Switzerland) [PDF]

, 2016
Excavations of two fossiliferous layers in the Wallenried sand- and marl pit produced a very diversified vertebrate fauna. New material allows the reassessment of the taxonomic position of the ruminant taxa Andegameryx andegaviensis and endemic ...

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...
