Comparative histomorphometric and transcriptomic analysis reveals potential genetic determinants of pelage variation between hairy and coarse-woolly sheep [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The unique pelage composition and developmental pattern endow hairy sheep with superior heat tolerance and minimized wool-shearing needs, compared with coarse-woolly sheep.

Pelage variation and morphometrics of closely related Callithrix marmoset species and their hybrids [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Hybrids are expected to show greater phenotypic variation than their parental species, yet how hybrid phenotype expression varies with genetic distances in closely-related parental species remains surprisingly understudied.

Total mercury in small mammals from forest ecosystems (nearby Cherepovets, Vologda region) [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The aim of the research is to determine the total mercury (THg) in small mammals in forest ecosystems at a distance of 3 – 8 km from the boundaries of the industrial site of PJSC Severstal near Cherepovets, Vologda region. THg in the pelage and organs of

Roosting ecology and the evolution of pelage markings in bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Multiple lineages of bats have evolved striking facial and body pelage makings, including spots, stripes and countershading. Although researchers have hypothesized that these markings mainly evolved for crypsis, this idea has never been tested in a ...

Ecological Drivers of Eastern Fox Squirrel Pelage Polymorphism
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The color patterns of an animal’s pelage, feather, or skin serve a variety of adaptive functions; importantly, one function is concealment through background matching.

The role of the Korean wood mouse (Apodemus peninsulae Thomas, 1907) in mercury transport in ecosystems in the south-east of Sikhote-Alin [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The role of the Korean wood mouse in mercury transport was studied by total mercury in 2018 and 2022. In 2018, the total mercury content of the Korean wood mouse was generally lower than in 2022.

The Munduruku marmoset: a new monkey species from southern Amazonia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Although the Atlantic Forest marmosets (Callithrix spp.) are among the best studied Neotropical primates, the Amazonian marmosets (Callibella humilis, Cebuella spp. and Mico spp.) are much less well-known. Even species diversity and distributions are yet
