Global Prevalence and Subtype Distribution of Blastocystis sp. in Rodent Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Overall, 16% of rodents worldwide were infected with Blastocystis sp. (95% CI: 12.6%–20.2%). Rodents host various Blastocystis sp. subtypes (STs), including ST1‐ST8, ST10, ST13, ST15 and ST17. The most commonly reported STs in rodents globally were ST4, ST5, ST1 and ST3.

Springing into action: Comparing escape responses between bipedal and quadrupedal rodents. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The findings of this study suggest that enlarged hindlimbs improve escape performance by allowing rodents to more efficiently utilize vertical jumping as an antipredator escape response. Abstract Predation is a fundamental selective pressure on animal morphology, as morphology is directly linked with physical performance and evasion. Bipedal heteromyid

Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

Asymmetric responses by bees and aculeate wasps to dune stabilisation across the southern Canadian prairies

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 ...

Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]

Lipids
Abstract 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.

Helminth parasites of some rodents (Cricetidae, Heteromyidae, and Sciuridae) from Zacatecas, Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016
Eighty-six specimens representing 7 species of rodents from 9 localities in the state Zacatecas were examined for helminths. Only 5 host species were found to harbor at least 1 species: Chaetodipus sp., Dipodomys merriami atronasus, Neotoma mexicana ...
