Constraint and cost of oxidative stress on reproduction: correlative evidence in laboratory mice and review of the literature. [PDF]
: BACKGROUND: One central concept in evolutionary ecology is that current and residual reproductive values are negatively linked by the so-called cost of reproduction. Previous studies examining the nature of this cost suggested a possible involvement of

Based on long-term observations of a bank vole (Myodes glareolus Schreber, 1780) population, the preconditions, mechanisms, and consequences of changes in reproductive strategy to restore ecological balance are analysed. The studies were conducted in the

Effects of Strain and Species on the Septo-Temporal Distribution of Adult Neurogenesis in Rodents
The functional septo-temporal (dorso-ventral) differentiation of the hippocampus is accompanied by gradients of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in laboratory rodents.

Can we study whisker movements to gain insights into the natural sensory behaviours of mammals?
Abstract figure legend The recommended future of whisker science research is integrating findings from the laboratory with studies from other captive institutions (such as zoos, rehabilitation centres and specialist research institutes) and field observations.

First Molecular Evidence for Puumala Hantavirus in Poland
Puumala virus (PUUV) causes mild to moderate cases of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and is responsible for the majority of hantavirus infections of humans in Fennoscandia, Central and Western Europe.

No Evidence That Life History Strategies Shape Within‐Body Mosaics of Ageing
ABSTRACT Tissues across the body may age at different rates, which creates within‐body mosaic ageing. Life history strategies shape ageing patterns at the inter‐ and intra‐specific level, but the impact of life history strategies on mosaic‐ageing patterns within individuals remains unknown.

A Unifying Model for the Analysis of Phenotypic, Genetic, and Geographic Data [PDF]
Recognition of evolutionary units (species, populations) requires integrating several kinds of data, such as genetic or phenotypic markers or spatial information in order to get a comprehensive view concerning the differentiation of the units. We propose
