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

Therya, 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.

Small mammals from Vértesacsa as a contribution to chronology of the late Miocene Zagyva Formation (W Hungary) [PDF]

, 2017
The small fossils (Rodentia and Eulipotyphla) from Csönget-Völgy near Vértesacsa in Western Hungary are pre¬sented herein; and although the assemblage contains relatively poor material, we describe nine rodent taxa and two insec¬tivore species.

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Dating placentalia: Morphological clocks fail to close the molecular fossil gap [PDF]

, 2016
Dating the origin of Placentalia has been a contentious issue for biologists and paleontologists. Although it is likely that crowngroup placentals originated in the Late Cretaceous, nearly all molecular clock estimates point to a deeper Cretaceous ...

A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

W(h)ither Fossils? Studying Morphological Character Evolution in the Age of Molecular Sequences [PDF]

, 2008
A major challenge in the post-genomics era will be to integrate molecular sequence data from extant organisms with morphological data from fossil and extant taxa into a single, coherent picture of phylogenetic relationships; only then will these ...

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Broadening the distribution of the microendemic shrew Cryptotis phillipsii (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae)

Therya Notes, 2020
La musaraña de orejas pequeñas de Phillips, Cryptotis phillipsii (Schaldach, 1966), está geográficamente restringida a pequeños parches de bosques nuboso de montaña en el sur de Oaxaca, México.  Los registros de distribución y los especímenes de C. phillipsii son relativamente escasos, por lo que sigue siendo una especie poco conocida.

BIO::Phylo-phyloinformatic analysis using perl [PDF]

, 2011
Background Phyloinformatic analyses involve large amounts of data and metadata of complex structure. Collecting, processing, analyzing, visualizing and summarizing these data and metadata should be done in steps that can be automated and reproduced. This
