Cabinet of Curiosities: Venom Systems and Their Ecological Function in Mammals, with a Focus on Primates

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Venom delivery systems (VDS) are common in the animal kingdom, but rare amongst mammals. New definitions of venom allow us to reconsider its diversity amongst mammals by reviewing the VDS of Chiroptera, Eulipotyphla, Monotremata, and Primates. All orders

Impact of environmental factors on small mammals and their fleas

open access: yesFolia Oecologica
Small mammals in the Horšianska dolina-Valley were researched first in 1984–86 and later in 2016–19. This paper seeks to identify and assess the species composition and dynamics of fleas (Siphonaptera) found in the valley on small mammals of Rodentia and

Small terrestrial mammals living along streams acting as natural landscape barriers

open access: yesEkológia (Bratislava), 2016
Riparian stands along streams are important landscape elements – biocorridors, allowing the dispersal of many small terrestrial mammals. Streams are, however, also barriers limiting dispersal, which leads to isolation and population-genetic changes ...

Drivers of the Functional and Taxonomic Dark Diversity of Regional Flea Assemblages in Four Biogeographic Realms

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
The functional and the traditional (= taxonomic) approaches to dark diversity measurement were applied to investigate environmental and host‐associated factors affecting regional dark diversity size and community completeness in four biogeographic realms.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
