Environmental Factors and Co-Occurrence Patterns Influence Dorsal Brightness in Two Jumping Mice Species in the Western United States. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined how dorsal coloration varies in the endangered New Mexico jumping mouse (Zapus luteus) and its close relative, the western jumping mouse (Z. princeps) in relation to environmental variables and co‐occurence patterns using standardized photographs of museum specimens.

Multilocus Phylogeny of Asiatic Striped Squirrels (Sciuridae, <i>Tamiops</i>) Reveals Their Evolutionary Relationships and Species Limits. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe genus Tamiops has long been underestimated in terms of species diversity due to reliance on seasonal fur coloration. This study integrates mitochondrial whole‐genome and nuclear gene data to identify seven monophyletic lineages, elevating T. maritimus hainanus to independent species status.

Differences in cynomolgus macaque populations used for infectious disease research. [PDF]
Animal Model Exp MedCynomolgus macaques, a species of Old World primate native to southeastern and eastern Asia and the island of Mauritius, are one of the most important nonhuman primate models for infectious disease. Research into the population genetics of cynomolgus macaques has found significant differences between macaques native to different areas, particularly ...

Evolution of Pelage Luminance in Squirrels (Sciuridae)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pelage luminance has been found in many mammalian systems to follow patterns predicted by Gloger’s rule where darker colored animals are associated with environments that are warmer and more moist.

Who's behind that mask and cape? The Asian leopard cat's Agouti (ASIP) allele likely affects coat colour phenotype in the Bengal cat breed. [PDF]
, 2014 Coat colours and patterns are highly variable in cats and are determined mainly by several genes with Mendelian inheritance. A 2-bp deletion in agouti signalling protein (ASIP) is associated with melanism in domestic cats. Bengal cats are hybrids between

Seasonal pelage color change of two sympatric arboreal squirrel species in the subarctic region
The European Zoological Journal, 2019 Some mammal species exhibit pelage color change with seasonal molt. Seasonal molt and pelage color change are beneficial to thermoregulation and concealment, associated with seasonal environmental change.
