Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

A glimpse on the pattern of rodent diversification: a phylogenetic approach. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Development of phylogenetic methods that do not rely on fossils for the study of evolutionary processes through time have revolutionized the field of evolutionary biology and resulted in an unprecedented expansion of our knowledge about the ...

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1025-1040, October 2025.Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved‐element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano‐Indian area around 20 million years ago, rapidly dispersing to the Western Palaearctic and Northeastern Africa during the early Miocene.

Effectiveness of temporal matching in ecological niche models: Insights for a low‐dispersing species
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Ecological niche models, crucial for estimating the potential distribution of species under global change, can face reduced accuracy when the timing of occurrence data does not align with the environmental data. One solution is to ensure a close temporal match between the environment and the observation date.

Análisis espacial y estacional de las comunidades de pequeños roedores de la cuenca de Cuitzeo
Revista Mexicana de BiodiversidadLos roedores en México representan 49% de los mamíferos y aunque se asume que las perturbaciones no los afectan en comparación con los mamíferos de mayor tamaño, los estudios al respecto son escasos. Se analizó la comunidad de pequeños roedores en los
