Modelling marsupial mastication: The biomechanical bite model of the Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina (Marsupialia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1187-1203, December 2025.
The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

Genetic evidence for invasive rat‐caused vegetation damage has implications for endemic Caribbean mammal management

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Conservation translocations of the Bahamian hutia, a threatened Caribbean rodent, have prompted concerns about vegetation damage. Extensive vegetation damage reported on John Higgs Cay (Turks and Caicos Islands), along with the presence of abundant large faecal pellets and local traditions of large‐bodied rodents called ‘hootees’, was suggestive of ...

Sufi Sounds of Senegal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Senegalese scholar, writer and musician Felwine Sarr suggests that the African continent is shaped by the ‘delocalisation of its presence in a perpetual future’, that is, a vision of what it will be; an incomplete present.

Exceptional Visual‐Opsin Coexpression and Phenotypic Diversity in Outer‐Retinal Photoreceptors of Caenophidian Snakes

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.
In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.

How does pyrodiversity influence small mammal abundance and genetic diversity?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2728-2745, October 2025.
Exploring both abundance and genetic data for small mammals revealed new ecological insights: N. yvonneae is more abundant decades after fire when hummock grass cover is high, but fire‐driven habitat shifts may also contribute to gene flow and genetic diversity by encouraging dispersal to suitable habitats.

Senegal: Presidential elections 2019 - The shining example of democratic transition immersed in muddy power-politics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Whereas Senegal has long been sold as a showcase of democracy in Africa, including peaceful political alternance, things apparently changed fundamentally with the Senegalese presidentials of 2019 that brought new configurations.

Nuclear parcellation of pontine catecholaminergic and cholinergic neurons in gray parrots and pied crow brains

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 9, Page 2433-2449, September 2025.
Immunohistochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase reveals the neurons forming the locus coeruleus complex in the pontine region of the brain of the Congo gray parrot. The appearance and parcellation of the locus coeruleus complex in birds shows many similarities, but also differences to that observed in mammals.
