Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016 Introduced species are often less parasitised compared to their native counterparts and to ecologically similar hosts in the new environment. Reduced parasitism may come about due to both the loss of original parasites and low acquisition of novel ...

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well

Myocardin—Not Quite MyoD [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004 Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) have evolved to subserve a variety of diverse functions in higher vertebrates, including modulation of arterial tone, regulation of airway resistance, and control of gastrointestinal motility. The diverse functional capacities of SMCs are ultimately determined by the expression of genes encoding SMC-restricted contractile and
