, 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a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Mammalian colors and color patterns are some of the most diverse and conspicuous traits found in nature and have been widely studied from genetic/developmental and evolutionary perspectives. In this review we first discuss the proximate causes underlying variation in pigment type (i.e., color) and pigment distribution (i.e., color pattern) and ...

Intrapopulation differences in polar bear movement and step selection patterns
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background The spatial ecology of individuals often varies within a population or species. Identifying how individuals in different classes interact with their environment can lead to a better understanding of population responses to human activities and

Evidence of strong stabilizing effects on the evolution of boreoeutherian (Mammalia) dental proportions. [PDF]
, 2019 The dentition is an extremely important organ in mammals with variation in timing and sequence of eruption, crown morphology, and tooth size enabling a range of behavioral, dietary, and functional adaptations across the class.

The influence of anaesthesia with isoflurane on the pulmonary and aortic blood flow of Racing Pigeons (Columba livia f. domestica) measured by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2019 Doppler echocardiographic examinations are an important technique for evaluating the blood flow also in avian cardiology. The influence of anaesthesia on the blood flow in the heart is in detail unknown for most avian species.
