A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and

Patterns and Drivers of Knowledge Gaps in Global Databases of Mammal Traits
ABSTRACT Aim Knowledge gaps in biodiversity, particularly in species traits, can hinder an accurate understanding of species roles in ecosystems, limiting our comprehension of ecosystem functions, maintenance and stability. In this study, we quantified data completeness in terrestrial mammals trait databases to identify knowledge gaps and data biases ...

ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Spatiotemporal and taxonomic sampling bias in biodiversity occurrence data poses critical challenges for robust ecological inference, species distribution models (SDMs), and conservation planning. Despite the exponential growth in global biodiversity records over recent decades, these biases persist.

Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Rhinoceros sondaicus (Perissodactyla: Rhinocerotidae) [PDF]
Rhinoceros sondaicus Desmarest, 1822, commonly called the Javan rhinoceros or lesser one-horned rhinoceros, is the most critically endangered large mammal on Earth with only 40–50 extant individuals in 2 disjunct and distant populations: most in Ujung Kulon, West Java, and only 2–6 (optimistically) in Cat Loc, Vietnam.

Assessing Mammal Conservation Effectiveness in the World's Highest‐Elevation Protected Area Network
ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas (PAs) are central to global biodiversity conservation, but their effectiveness in understudied regions, such as high‐altitude ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Tibet contains the world's highest‐elevation PA network and a remarkably diverse mammalian fauna, especially medium‐ and large‐bodied mammals (MLM) that are of ...
