Slug grazing effects on seedling and adult life stages of North American Prairie plants used in designed urban landscapes [PDF]

, 2011
Designed vegetation is a major contributor to ecosystem service provision incities, and as such the study of how herbivory and other ecological factors determine its capacity to deliver such services, is long overdue.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Gene Expression Associated With Mating Stimuli in the Brain of Female Guppies

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2025.
We combine traditional methods with an original network analysis to investigate the spatiotemporal expression patterns of candidate genes across the female guppy brain. We found consistent differences in the expression of these genes triggered by mating stimuli, and used mathematical models to further understand how mating behavior is coordinated in ...

Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Hearing ability of prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster )

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The hearing abilities of mammals are impacted by factors such as social cues, habitat, and physical characteristics. Despite being used commonly to study social behaviors, hearing of the monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) has never been characterized.

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

, 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 ...

Sex‐Specific Effects of Experience With Pups on Perineuronal Net Expression in the Biparental California Mouse (Peromyscus californicus)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 11, November 2025.
The neural mechanisms underlying behavioral sensitization to pups in adult virgin California mice are poorly understood. Here, we show that pup exposure alters perineuronal net (PNN) expression in the infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex of virgin male, but not female, California mice.

Autonomic Substrates of the Response to Pups in Male Prairie Voles

PLoS ONE, 2013
Caregiving by nonparents (alloparenting) and fathers is a defining aspect of human social behavior, yet this phenomenon is rare among mammals. Male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) spontaneously exhibit high levels of alloparental care, even in the absence of reproductive experience. In previous studies, exposure to a pup was selectively associated

A comparison of four different methods to estimate population size of Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) [PDF]

, 2017
Obtaining reliable information on animal abundance in mountainous landscapes is challenging. Highly heterogeneous habitats tend to reduce detection probabilities, and the three-dimensional, rugged nature of the terrain poses severe limits to the ...

Ultrasonic Vocalizations of Infant Short-Tailed Field Voles, Microtus agrestis [PDF]

, 2017
Ultrasonic vocalizations of infant rodents are used in developmental studies and for investigating the effects of drugs or environmental pollutants. Few studies, however, have analyzed the frequency characteristics of these ultrasonic vocalizations. This

The Common Shrew (Sorex araneus): A neglected host of tick-borne infections? [PDF]

, 2011
Although the importance of rodents as reservoirs for a number of tick-borne infections is well established, comparatively little is known about the potential role of shrews, despite them occupying similar habitats.
