Effects of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba mill.) fruit extracts on oxidative stress: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of rodent studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5312-5328, August 2024.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit extracts on oxidative stress levels in rodent models. The results of this systematic review and meta‐analysis suggest that jujube fruit extracts are healthy and effective antioxidant dietary supplements that may be an effective adjunctive therapy for diseases in which ...

Ecomorphological characterization of murines and non-arvicoline cricetids (Rodentia) from south-western Europe since the latest Middle Miocene to the Mio-Pliocene boundary (MN 7/8–MN13) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Rodents are the most speciose group of mammals and display a great ecological diversity. Despite the greater amount of ecomorphological information compiled for extant rodent species, studies usually lack of morphological data on dentition, which has led

Physiological strategies in wild rodents: immune defenses of commensal rats

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 350-370, May 2024.
Abstract The importance of issues associated with urban/commensal rats and mice (property damage, management costs, and health risks) press upon research on these animals. While the demography of commensal rodents is mostly studied, the need for understanding factors influencing their natural morbidity/mortality is also stressed. In this respect, more

Parasites in brains of wild rodents (Arvicolinae and Murinae) in the city of Leipzig, Germany

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Small rodents serve as intermediate or paratenic hosts for a variety of parasites and may participate in the transmission of these parasites into synanthropic cycles.

Lineage-specific responses of tooth shape in murine rodents (murinae, rodentia) to late Miocene dietary change in the Siwaliks of Pakistan. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Past ecological responses of mammals to climate change are recognized in the fossil record by adaptive significance of morphological variations. To understand the role of dietary behavior on functional adaptations of dental morphology in rodent evolution,

Speciation across biomes: Rapid diversification with reproductive isolation in the Australian delicate mice

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, April 2024.
Abstract Phylogeographic studies of continental clades, especially when combined with palaeoclimate modelling, provide powerful insight into how environment drives speciation across climatic contexts. Australia, a continent characterized by disparate modern biomes and dynamic climate change, provides diverse opportunity to reconstruct the impact of ...

Morphological variations of auditory bullae in otomyine rodents (Rodentia: Otomyini) in southern African biomes

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 2, February 2024.
Otomyine species that inhabit regions with low annual rainfall have larger bullar volumes, and more anterior‐facing meatuses. This pattern is also found within Myotomys unisulcatus, though bullar shape did not differ between regions. Abstract Mammalian middle ear cavities differ from those of other taxa as they comprise three ossicles and in rodents ...

Adaptation in brain structure and respiratory and olfactory structures across environmental gradients in African and North American muroid rodents

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 165-181, January 2024.
Based on 174 cranial 3D images, when considering allometric and phylogenetic constraints, muroid rodents showed potentially adaptive responses to aridity in the bulla, cochlea, paraflocculi, and olfactory lobes of the brain and to high elevation in endocranial volume and the respiratory turbinate bone of the nasal capsule. Abstract Morphometric studies
