Convergence of lophodonty in Paenungulata (Afrotheria) and Perissodactyla (Euungulata, Laurasiatheria).

open access: yes, 2016
The fourth upper molar cusp (postero-lingual cusp bearing the metaloph) is not homologous in Paenungulata and Perissodactyla: it is issued from a modified metaconule (pseudohypocone) in Paenungulata (Phosphatherium here) and from the true cingular ...

Exploring the Potential of Using Single‐Leech Metabarcoding Sequencing for Biodiversity Monitoring in a Tropical Forest of Peninsular Thailand

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Leech blood meals are ingenious biodiversity trackers in Thailand's rainforests. DNA analysis of these meals revealed over 30 vertebrate species, including elusive Malayan Tapirs and Clouded Leopards. Furthermore, multiple host DNAs within single leeches suggest a healthy, abundant wildlife population, making them an effective, noninvasive monitoring ...

Behavioral Patterns of Zoo‐housed Lowland (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), With a Focus on Sleeping Behavior

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 356-367, May/June 2026.
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

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

A Global, Taxon‐Stratified, High‐Resolution Sampling‐Effort Dataset From GBIF for Bias‐Aware Ecological Modelling

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
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 ...
