Constraint and cost of oxidative stress on reproduction: correlative evidence in laboratory mice and review of the literature. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
: 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

Harbingers of change: Towards a mechanistic understanding of anticipatory plasticity in animal systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2999-3020, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a strategy by which animals alter behaviour, morphology and/or physiology in response to cues of current conditions to cope with environmental heterogeneity.

A vain attempt: why a change in the reproductive strategy of a rodent population failed to restore ecological balance

open access: yesTheriologia Ukrainica
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
The functional septo-temporal (dorso-ventral) differentiation of the hippocampus is accompanied by gradients of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in laboratory rodents.

Muroid rodents of the natural landmark “Chervone” (Dnister Canyon): specifics of species composition and community structure

open access: yesTheriologia Ukrainica, 2020
We conducted an analysis of populations of muroid rodents of the Dnister Canyon National Nature Park on the example of the natural landmark “Chervone.” For the investigation of the muroid rodents, we applied the trap-line method using factory-made live ...

Can we study whisker movements to gain insights into the natural sensory behaviours of mammals?

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 22, Page 6733-6745, November 15, 2025.
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

open access: yesViruses, 2014
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

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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
