Folding of the cerebellar cortex is clade‐specific in form but universal in degree
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 4, April 2024.York et al. show that the folding of the cerebellar cortex, likethe cerebral cortex, has recognizable, clade‐specific spatial patterns acrossclades, but scales universally in degree depending on its combination ofsurface area and thickness, as predicted from the physics of an expanding,self‐avoiding surface.

Elevation filters bat, rodent and shrew communities differently by morphological traits
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Aim Mountains are geographic features that provide sharp elevational gradients which can accommodate a diversity of terrestrial flora and fauna. In the face of climate change, many of these species are being pushed higher to escape ever‐increasing temperatures.

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract DNA metabarcoding requires reference libraries that link DNA sequences to species. Mitochondrial gene regions cytochrome c oxidase I (COI), 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA), 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA), cytochrome b (cyt b) and the hypervariable control region (D‐loop) are routinely used in studies that measure genetic diversity in animal species.

Behavioural repertoire of Glis glis (Rodentia: Gliridae)
Lynx new series, 2018 The behavioural repertoire of the edible dormouse (Glis glis) was investigated in the laboratory using night vision cameras. Analysis was carried out for 106 h 44 min of video records of behaviour. The main forms of behaviour during the active period were comfort, exploratory, feeding, scent marking, defensive and social actions.

Altitudinal distribution of rodents (Muridae and Gliridae) on Mt Elgon, Uganda
Tropical Zoology, 2001 Small mammals were surveyed along a transect in Mt Elgon National Park, Uganda, at altitudes from 2900 to 4300 m a.s.l., with the main focus in the Afroalpine grasslands above 3500 m a.s.l. In this study, 13 species belonging to the Muridae were recorded, but only one species Lophuromys flavopunctatus Thomas 1888, occurred in all habitats.
