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

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

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
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).
