Non-target small mammal communities in invertebrate pitfall traps: effects of season, habitat, and elevation

open access: yesFolia Oecologica
Despite considerable endeavours of scientists to avoid it, non-target species are frequently trapped for ecological and conservation research. Nevertheless, these data can provide valuable insights into how ecosystems function. Small mammals not targeted

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

Long‐Term Temporal Change of Small Mammal Composition and Abundance in the Food Intake of the Western Barn Owl (Tyto alba), Comparing Two Different Lowland Mesoregions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The object of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes of the small mammal assemblages between two lowland mesoregions in Hungary based on Western Barn Owl pellet analysis. Prey composition, diversity, and community dynamics differed markedly between the two lowland regions, indicating that local landscape characteristics and weather ...

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 ...

Continuous field assessments and data sharing to rationalize the IUCN's impact in mammal conservation: a case study of Rwanda

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Taxonomic work, conservation practice, and Red List assessments from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are intricately linked. The primary conservation goal for biodiversity is to halt the factors driving local extinctions of species.

First record of the shrew Cryptotis lacandonensis (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) for Guatemala [PDF]

open access: yesTherya, 2019
A field expedition in 1995 around the community of Bethel, in the shore of the Usumacinta River, Guatemala, produced the collecting of one fluid specimen of shrew that remained unidentified as a voucher at the mammal collection at San Carlos University in Guatemala City.

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 531-544, August 2026.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...
