Integrative systematics and evolutionary history of Berylmys bowersi (Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae)
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The Bower's Berylmys (Berylmys bowersi) is one of the largest rodent species with a wide distribution range in southern China and the Indochinese Peninsula. The taxonomy and evolutionary history of the B. bowersi is still controversial and confusing.

Transition-Transversion Bias at the <i>CYTB</i> Gene Level in the Order Cypriniformes (Actinopterygii) as Evidence for the Influence of Metabolic Rate on Molecular Evolutionary Rate. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFamilies and subfamilies inhabiting temperate regions exhibit increasing transition frequencies and decreasing transversion frequencies with increasing genetic divergence, resulting in a pronounced transition–transversion bias. In contrast, tropical taxa show the opposite pattern, with elevated transversion frequencies and a markedly weaker bias.

Tempo and Mode: Evidence on a Protracted Split From a Dense Fossil Record
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Fossil records generally inform paleobiologists about extinct taxa and rates of evolution measured at the scale of millions of years. Good records that are densely sampled through time can reveal species level details such as longevity in local sections.

Dietary ecology of Murinae (Muridae, Rodentia): a geometric morphometric approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Murine rodents represent a highly diverse group, which displays great ecological versatility. In the present paper we analyse the relationship between dental morphology, on one hand, using geometric morphometrics based upon the outline of first upper ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 A robust minimum age tree shows post K–Pg Placentalia radiation, and subsequent extensive radiation connected to exponentially increased base substitution (mutation) rate including generation of Homo sapiens. This Neogene radiation may have been triggered by expansion of C4 grasses that decreased atmospheric CO2, resulting in global cooling and ...

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.
