Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

A species under siege: modelling habitat suitability for the bear cuscus Ailurops ursinus in South Sulawesi

Oryx
Phalangerids in Sulawesi occur at the westernmost extent of marsupial distribution in Wallacea and are facing escalating anthropogenic pressures. The ecology of the Vulnerable bear cuscus Ailurops ursinus, one of four endemic phalangerids in Sulawesi, is

Designing a robust survey and monitoring program: A simulation approach to evaluate the power of various sampling designs to detect changes in possum population trends

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Here we evaluate the strength of various spotlighting sampling designs to detect changes in ngwayir (Western ringtail possum; Pseudocheirus occidentalis) population trends using the Upper Warren region of Western Australia as a case study. We simulated ngwayir population scenarios, conducted virtual surveys of these populations, and then built distance

Sex-associated effect of CETP and LPL polymorphisms on postprandial lipids in familial hypercholesterolaemia [PDF]

, 2009
Background: This study assessed the gender-specific influence of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (TaqIB, I405V) and lipoprotein lipase (S447X) polymorphisms on the response to an oral fat tolerance test in heterozygotes for familial ...

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

Identification of a novel antisense noncoding RNA, ALID, transcribed from the putative imprinting control region of marsupial IGF2R

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2018
Background Genomic imprinting leads to maternal expression of IGF2R in both mouse and opossum. In mouse, the antisense long noncoding (lnc) RNA Airn, which is paternally expressed from the differentially methylated region (DMR) in the second intron of ...

The MacBrain Resource Center (MBRC) rhesus macaque postnatal brain histology datasets: Enabling new discoveries through NHP tissue and digital data Repositories

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The MacBrain Resource Center (MBRC) postnatal rhesus macaque brain histology datasets are organized into Collections that promote cost‐effective de novo research. This article provides examples from Collections 5, 6, and 7 and describes the histo‐ and immunohistochemical (IHC) processing of materials for Collection 6.
