Small mammals feeding on hypogeous fungi [PDF]
, 2014 The spores stay viable after passing through the animal gut, and in some cases their ability to germinate and form mycorrhiza is enhanced after leaving the intestine.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 23, 15 December 2025.Hibernating mammals preserve satellite cell viability during extreme cold exposure by suppressing ferroptosis through elevated GPX4 expression. Although these cells survive cold stress, myogenic activation and differentiation are markedly reduced, leading to delayed muscle regeneration in vivo.

Species Richness Gradients Vary Across Phylogenetic Scales
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim To determine how species richness gradients—commonly considered universal—vary across the phylogenetic hierarchy of birds and mammals, and to uncover how clade age and size predetermine the gradients. Location Global. Time Period Last 120 million years. Taxa Studied Birds and mammals (~15,000 species).

Ecomorphological determinations in the absence of living analogs:The predatory behavior of the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) as revealed by elbow joint morphology [PDF]
, 2016 Thylacoleo carnifex, or the “pouched lion” (Mammalia: Marsupialia: Diprotodontia: Thylacoleonidae), was a carnivorous marsupial that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene.

Temporal and spatial distribution of the Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisi (Dasyuridae: Marsupialia) [PDF]
, 1982 The Tasmanian devil Sarcophilus harrisi(Boitard), once widespread on continental Australia, probably became extinct there partly due to food competition with dingoes and, possibly, black man and their extinction may have been expedited by a dry climatic ...

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2896-2912, November 2025.Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Australia's arid and semi‐arid zones cover about 70% of the continent, yet our understanding of the biogeography of these diverse and expansive landscapes remains limited. Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), a widely distributed mammal taxon, offers an opportunity to explore patterns of the population structure across the ...
