Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]
LipidsAbstract The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 626-637, September 2023., 2023 We analysed the effects of vegetative stabilisation of threatened inland sand dunes on wild bees and stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) at 13 sites across the southern Canadian prairies. Results showed that stabilisation threatens psammophilous species and changes the structure of dune‐inhabiting aculeate communities, with asymmetric responses ...

Caching rodents disproportionately disperse seed beneath invasive grass
Ecosphere, 2016 Seed dispersal by caching rodents is a context‐dependent mutualism in many systems. Plants benefit when seed remaining in shallow caches germinates before being eaten, often gaining protection from beetles and a favorable microsite in the process ...

Group effects of a non‐native plant invasion on rodent abundance
Ecosphere, 2019 Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is the most prolific invading plant in western North America. Investigations determining the impact of this invasion on population state variables and community dynamics of rodents have largely occurred at the community or ...
