First Case Report of Human Plague Caused by Excavation, Skinning, and Eating of a Hibernating Marmot (Marmota himalayana)

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Introduction The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is considered the most plague-heavy region in China, and skinning and eating marmots (Marmota himalayana) are understood to be the main exposure factors to plague.

Beyond Circannual Fattening: Behavioural Flexibility and Sex-Specific Strategies Enable Coping With High-Elevation Winters. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Winter at high elevations challenges resident species such as the White‐winged Snowfinch. Circannual‐regulated fat accumulation, along with flexible and sex‐specific movement strategies, likely play a critical role in coping with cold temperatures and unpredictable food, but may be vulnerable to climate change.

Variations in immune parameters with age in a wild rodent population and links with survival

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Recent findings suggest that immune functions do not unidirectionally deteriorate with age but that a potentially adaptive remodeling, where functions of the immune system get downregulated while others get upregulated with age could also occur.

Extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting the activity budget of alpine marmots (Marmota marmota)

Mammal Research, 2022
Extrinsic and intrinsic factors may influence the activity budget of wild animals, resulting in a variation in the time spent in different activities among populations or individuals of the same species.
