The Mammals of Kilimanjaro [PDF]
Journal of East African Natural History, 1995 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) This paper presents an up to date account of 154 mammal species recorded on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and the surrounding area, from 1883 to the present, when 128 species are known to occur. Old records are reviewed and several new records added, while four recorded species have been excluded.

Local Aspects of Avian Non-REM and REM Sleep
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Birds exhibit two types of sleep that are in many respects similar to mammalian rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. As in mammals, several aspects of avian sleep can occur in a local manner within the brain.

A comparison of eDNA to camera trapping for assessment of terrestrial mammal diversity
bioRxiv, 2019 Environmental DNA (eDNA) is one of the most promising approaches to meet the demand for the fast and frequent monitoring of ecosystems needed to tackle the current decline in biodiversity. However, before eDNA can establish itself as a robust alternative

Hair Microbiome Diversity within and across Primate Species
mSystems, 2022 Primate hair and skin are substrates upon which social interactions occur and are host-pathogen interfaces. While human hair and skin microbiomes display body site specificity and immunological significance, little is known about the nonhuman primate ...

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).

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018 Brain-behavior studies using 18F-FDG PET aim to reveal brain regions that become active during behavior. In standard protocols, 18F-FDG is injected, the behavior is executed during 30–60 min of tracer uptake, and then the animal is anesthetized and ...

Zebra-Fishing for Regenerative Awakening in Mammals
Biomedicines, 2021 Regeneration is defined as the ability to regrow an organ or a tissue destroyed by degeneration or injury. Many human degenerative diseases and pathologies, currently incurable, could be cured if functional tissues or cells could be restored ...

Bird-nest analysis: A rarely tested noninvasive survey method for monitoring mammals [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2018 Surveys of mammals can be difficult to carry out due to their elusive lifestyle and nocturnal behavior. In order to minimize the disturbance to target species, indirect or noninvasive methods are recommended. These techniques can enable the collection of
