Adrenocortical zonation in chamois-coloured mastomys, Praomys coucha [PDF]

Laboratory Animals, 1995
Body and adrenal weights, and histology of the adrenal cortex were examined in the chamois-coloured mastomys ( Praomys coucha) at inbred generations 3 to 10. Body and adrenal weights were consistently larger in males than in females, although the adrenal to body weight ratios tended to be lower before 50 days of age and were clearly higher after ...

Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Vernaya (Mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae) with the description of two new species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
The climbing mouse (genus Vernaya) is one of the least studied small mammals. This manuscript integrates molecular and morphological approaches to study the phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus. They described two new species and recognized Vernaya foramena as a valid species.

Spatial tissue proteomics reveals distinct landscapes of heterogeneity in cutaneous papillomavirus‐induced keratinocyte carcinomas

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 95, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Infection with certain cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPV), in conjunction with chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure, are the major cofactors of non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most frequent cancer type worldwide. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) as well as tumors in general represent three‐dimensional entities determined by both

Genetic diversity of rodent species sold in South African pet shops

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 89-101, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Murid rodents are considered globally important invasive species, yet they are still sold in the pet trade. Little is known about the genetic diversity of traded rodents, and many species are incorrectly identified in the pet trade. We used mitochondrial gene regions to assess the taxonomy and genetic diversity of 149 rodents sold in pet shops

The interplay of UV and cutaneous papillomavirus infection in skin cancer development. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are considered as cofactors for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) development, especially in association with UVB.

Consuming and consumed: Biotic interactions of African mistletoes across different trophic levels

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1103-1119, July 2022., 2022
Mistletoes, as perennial hemiparasitic angiosperms that parasitize woody plants, are an important component of the African flora, yet little is known about the composition and function of the organismal communities associated with these plants in Africa.

Climate change impacts on ecosystems and adaptation options in nine countries in southern Africa: What do we know?

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Southern Africa harbors exceptional biodiversity that is increasingly threatened by climate change, land use, and other pressures. However, risks to the regional ecosystems and quality and consistency of adaptation strategies remain understudied, making conservation and restoration efforts challenging.

Mammal diversity of an urbanised environment in an arid zone of south-west Africa

Theriologia Ukrainica, 2023
Thorough investigation of the entire mammalian assemblages has not been hitherto conducted in any African city. Most studies were limited to single species causing problems to citizens or to small mammals causing health hazard.
