, 2019 Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records.

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean. The skull performs many functions to enable each species to thrive within its unique

Molecular identification of Mazama species (Cervidae: Artiodactyla) from natural history collections [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Natural history museum collections constitute an invaluable patrimony of biological diversity for analysing the taxa distribution and evolution. However, it is very common to discover taxonomic misidentification in museum collections based on incorrect ...

American Zoologist, 1967 This paper centers on selected—and particularly, little recognized— problems in mammalian olfaction: (1) With certain exceptions the spacing of the external nares in most mammals does not favor orientation in an odor gradient by simultaneous comparisons of odor intensities (tropotaxis).

Local extinctions in the small mammal's assemblages between late Holocene and historical times in Talagapa mountains (Patagonia, Argentina): The role of land use changes [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of this work was to evaluate possible changes in the small mammal composition in the Patagonian arid Extra-Andean steppes between the late Holocene and historical times.
