Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2831-2842, November 2025.Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.ABSTRACT Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and a few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across the mammalian tree of life, refine the related protocols and understand the expected ...

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 1349-1357, September 1, 2025.Abstract We measured the BASAL breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non‐pregnant/non‐lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi‐aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals.

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial
