Dietary adaptations along the northern limit of distribution: what does the smooth snake Coronella austriaca eat in Norway? Metabarcoding of stomach content and visual analysis of faeces

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...

Ecomorphological diversification following continental colonization in muroid rodents (Rodentia: Muroidea)

, 2016
The emergence of exceptionally diverse clades is often attributed to ecological opportunity. For example, the exceptional diversity in the most diverse superfamily of mammals, muroid rodents, has been explained in terms of multiple independent adaptive ...

Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management [PDF]

, 2008
Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management.

Chromosome C-banding in Mus musculus L.1766 Strains Shows a Fixed Position for the Centromere and Variable Amounts in Different Populations [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2015
Three subspecies of Mus musculus have been recognized in Iran so far. The house mouse (genus0T 0T2TMus2T, species0T 0T2TMus musculus2T) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer ...

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Diversity and Activity Pattern of Terrestrial Mammal Species in Serra do Amolar, Brazilian Pantanal 巴西潘塔纳尔湿地阿莫拉尔山脉陆生哺乳动物物种的多样性及活动模式

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
The Serra do Amolar, located in the Brazilian Pantanal, is a crucial but understudied area for biodiversity conservation. Through camera traps, we recorded 29 mammal species, including three rodent species documented for the first time in the area: Cavia aperea, Cuniculus paca, and Holochilus chacarius.

Variação intraespecífica da cor da pelagem de uma espécie de pequeno roedor sul-americano [PDF]

, 2016
Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species.

The record of cricetid rodents across the Eocene–Oligocene transition in Transylvania, Romania: implications for the “Grande Coupure” at European scale

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
A number of localities in Transylvania (Romania) have yielded vertebrate microfossil remains. Two localities have been stratigraphically and biochronologically dated to the late Eocene: i.e., Treznea and Bociu. The remaining three localities are dated to

Asian elephants are associated with a more robust mammalian community in tropical forests

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
It's the first evidence that Asian elephants are positively associated with robustness of mammalian networks, increases ungulate/primate abundances and minimally disrupts activity patterns. Highlights elephants' overlooked role as keystone architects beyond vegetation engineering, urging conservation prioritization to safeguard ecosystem resilience ...
