The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Indirect effects between deer, mice, and the gypsy moth in a forest community [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
White-tailed deer are ecosystem engineers that dramatically alter forest understory vegetation. Consequently, deer can impact many species in a forest through both direct and indirect effects. One species that deer may indirectly affect is the gypsy moth,

Evidence of Population Fragmentation of the Western European Hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus in Urban Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Western European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is a declining mammal increasingly associated with urban landscapes. This study uses 1413 SNP markers to investigate the species' genetic structure and connectivity in Greater London, UK, and surrounding areas.

Timing as a sexually selected trait: the right mate at the right moment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sexual selection favours the expression of traits in one sex that attract members of the opposite sex for mating. The nature of sexually selected traits such as vocalization, colour and ornamentation, their fitness benefits as well as their costs have ...

Hybridization and Immunology in Animals: A Review

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hybridization can reshape immune function by introducing novel genetic variation and combining parental immune traits. Across animal taxa, this process may influence resistance, tolerance, and pathogen dynamics, with important implications for disease ecology and One Health.

Patterns of Genetic and Morphological Variation in Deer Mice (Peromyscus Maniculatus) in the Warner Mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A previously recognized north-south mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) break in populations of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, was investigated in Western North America. A 383-bp fragment of the mtDNA control region was analyzed from 107 tissue samples in the
