Assessing the umbrella value of a range-wide conservation network for Jaguars (Panthera onca) [PDF]
, 2016 Umbrella species are employed as conservation short-cuts for the design of reserves or reserve networks. However, empirical data on the effectiveness of umbrellas is equivocal, which has prevented more widespread application of this conservation strategy.

Detection of Porcine Circovirus 3 in Wildlife Species in Spain
Pathogens, 2020 Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) is the third member of the family Circoviridae, genus Circovirus, able to infect swine. A high prevalence of viral DNA has been recorded in wild boars. Recently, PCV-3 DNA was identified in Italian wild ruminants.

Evolutionary patterns in the dentition of duplicidentata (mammalia) and a novel trend in the molarization of premolars. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The cusp homology of Lagomorpha has long been problematic largely because their teeth are highly derived relative to their more typically tribosphenic ancestors.

Dietary niche partitioning between sympatric brown hares and rabbits [PDF]
, 2017 Coexistence of ecologically similar species is sustained by niche partitioning, a fundamental element of which is diet. Overlapping of resource requirements between sympatric species can create interspecific competitive or facilitative effects on the ...

Ecological correlates to cranial morphology in Leporids (Mammalia, Lagomorpha) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The mammalian order Lagomorpha has been the subject of many morphometric studies aimed at understanding the relationship between form and function as it relates to locomotion, primarily in postcranial morphology.

Active Transport of Peptides Across the Intact Human Tympanic Membrane. [PDF]
, 2018 We previously identified peptides that are actively transported across the intact tympanic membrane (TM) of rats with infected middle ears. To assess the possibility that this transport would also occur across the human TM, we first developed and ...

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Coalescent-based genome analyses resolve the early branches of the euarchontoglires [PDF]
, 2013 Despite numerous large-scale phylogenomic studies, certain parts of the mammalian tree are extraordinarily difficult to resolve. We used the coding regions from 19 completely sequenced genomes to study the relationships within the super-clade ...
