Wildlife management in the United States – thoughts on evolving to better address species overabundance and disease transmission

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Management options and actions are important for responsibly working to keep populations of sometimes overabundant species of invasive and native wildlife at levels that keep damage (e.g., agricultural, environmental, human health and safety) and disease (e.g., species specific, shared with livestock, zoonotic) associated with them at acceptable levels.

Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

More of the Same Makes a Difference: Comparative Anatomy and Molecular Makeup of Tenrec and Hedgehog Intestines

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Tenrecs and hedgehogs have gastrointestinal tracts of comparable morphology, yet with marked differences in length. Among mammals, intestinal length is correlated with diet; however, these species share a common trophic niche. The length differences are accounted for by an expansion of the small intestine in the European hedgehog.
