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

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.

Nongeographic Cranial Variation in Two Medically Important Rodents from South Africa, Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2007 The 2 cryptic species of multimammate mice that occur widely in South Africa were, for many decades, lumped in a single species Mastomys natalensis sensu lato. This taxon was intensively studied because these rodents play a role in the epidemiology of various zoonoses (notably bubonic plague), serve as important models for biomedical research, and also
