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.

Thermal adaptation of pelage in desert rodents balances cooling and insulation
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2022 Phenotypic convergence across distantly related taxa can be driven by similar selective pressures from the environment or intrinsic constraints. The roles of these processes on physiological strategies, such as homeothermy, are poorly understood.

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The speckled-pelage brush-furred rats (Lophuromys flavopunctatus group) have been difficult to define given conflicting genetic, morphological, and distributional records that combine to obscure meaningful accounts of its taxonomic diversity and ...

Siamese Network Based Pelage Pattern Matching for Ringed Seal Re-identification
2020 IEEE Winter Applications of Computer Vision Workshops (WACVW), 2020 In this paper we propose a method to match pelage patterns of the Saimaa ringed seals enabling the re-identification of individuals. First, the pelage pattern is extracted from the seal’s fur using a method based on the Sato tubeness filter.

Ghost rodents: Albinism in Australian rodent species
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 While almost half of all mammal species are rodents, records of albinism in free‐ranging rodents are very rare. Australia has a large and diverse assemblage of native rodent species, but there are no records of free‐ranging albino rodents in the ...
