Biomechanical adaptations for burrowing in the incisor enamel microstructure of Geomyidae and Heteromyidae (Rodentia: Geomyoidea)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 14, Page 9447-9459, July 2021., 2021
Incisors of fossil and extant Geomyidae (pocket gophers) and Heteromyidae (pocket mice, spiny pocket mice, kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats) show enamel with built‐in failure prevention related to chisel‐tooth digging. This distinctive microstructure character strengthens the joint phylogenetic origin of these North American rodents because it is absent in

Monitoring of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in mustelids

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract American mink and ferret are highly susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), but no information is available for other mustelid species. SARS‐CoV‐2 spreads very efficiently within mink farms once introduced, by direct and indirect contact, high within‐farm animal density increases the chance for transmission.

Effect of Bushen Huoxue Prescription on Cognitive Dysfunction of KK‐Ay Type 2 Diabetic Mice

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Diabetic cognitive impairment is one of the common complications of type 2 diabetes, which can cause neurological and microvascular damage in the brain. Bushen Huoxue prescription (BSHX), a compound Chinese medicine, has been used clinically to treat diabetes‐induced cognitive impairment. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study,

Systematics and evolution of the subfamily Gerbillinae (Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae)

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2005
Although they represent a quarter of the mammalian species, the evolutionary relationships among as well as within, the main murid lineages are still controversial. The subfamily Gerbillinae is no exception as previous studies based on morphological, karyotypical, and allozyme characters are highly incongruent.
