A Decade-Long Change in the Elevational Distribution of Non-Volant Small Mammals on Mount Meru, Tanzania

Diversity, 2022
Understanding species distribution across elevational gradients is crucial for developing conservation strategies for montane biotic systems. A survey of small mammals was conducted on Mount Meru at six elevations, ranging between 1500 m and 3650 m.

Ghost rodents: Albinism in Australian rodent species

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
AbstractWhile almost half of all mammal species are rodents, records of albinism in free‐ranging rodents are very rare. Australia has a large and diverse assemblage of native rodent species, but there are no records of free‐ranging albino rodents in the published literature.

Parental Uveitis Influences Offspring With an Increased Susceptibility to the Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that parental abnormal physiological conditions such as inflammation, stress, and obesity can be transferred to offspring. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of parental uveitis on the development
