Exploring the complexities of cooperative breeding: insights from African wild dog packs

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 16-29, January 2026.
Across 14 years of monitoring African wild dog packs in Savé Valley Conservancy, Zimbabwe, we found that younger and larger packs were significantly more likely to produce multiple litters, with second‐born pups showing higher survival. Pup survival also increased with pack size, rainfall, and alpha female age, highlighting the adaptive benefits of ...

Sexual selection of protamine 1 in mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Protamines have a crucial role in male fertility. They are involved in sperm chromatin packaging and influence the shape of the sperm head and, hence, are important for sperm performance.

Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

A family case of fertile human 45,X,psu dic(15;Y) males [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We report on a familial case including four male probands from three generations with a 45,X,psu dic(15;Y)(p11.2;q12) karyotype. 45,X is usually associated with a female phenotype and only rarely with maleness, due to translocation of small Y chromosomal

The Ear in Subterranean Rodents Revisited: Cochlear Hair‐Cell Populations in African Mole‐Rats (Bathyergidae)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 12, December 2025.
Morphometric analysis of the cochlea was conducted on 12 species of African mole‐rats (Bathyergidae), revealing that cochlear features related to hearing resolution correlate with body size. Compared to other mammals, bathyergid cochleae resemble the apical, low‐frequency‐tuned regions of typical mammalian cochleae.

Species Richness Gradients Vary Across Phylogenetic Scales

open access: yesGlobal 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).
