Sherman traps, bucket cameras, eDNA—oh, my: A comparative study of small mammal monitoring methods
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.Comparison of Sherman live trapping, bucket camera traps, and airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) for assessing small mammal communities in restored prairies. Bucket cameras detected the highest species richness, live trapping provided the most precise species identifications, and airborne eDNA detected unique taxa.

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well

Post-mating parental behavior trajectories differ across four species of deer mice.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Among species, parental behaviors vary in their magnitude, onset relative to reproduction, and sexual dimorphism. In deer mice (genus Peromyscus), while most species are promiscuous with low paternal care, monogamy and biparental care have evolved at ...

Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 351-360, May 2026.ABSTRACT Animals with seasonal reproductive cycles, as the Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), have developed mechanisms to synchronize reproduction with the environmental cycle in order to optimize reproductive success through melatonin. Angiogenesis and oxidative stress are key processes in spermatogenesis, contributing to testicular remodeling and ...

Abundance–Occupancy Relationships are Informed by Species Temporal Occupancy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Understanding how species spatial and temporal distributions are related to abundance is fundamental to ecology. Indeed, the relationship between species spatial occupancy and abundance has been investigated across taxa and environments. Less studied, is how species temporal occupancy may inform the spatial abundance–occupancy relationship.
