Can we study whisker movements to gain insights into the natural sensory behaviours of mammals?
Abstract figure legend The recommended future of whisker science research is integrating findings from the laboratory with studies from other captive institutions (such as zoos, rehabilitation centres and specialist research institutes) and field observations.

Small mammals feeding on hypogeous fungi [PDF]
The spores stay viable after passing through the animal gut, and in some cases their ability to germinate and form mycorrhiza is enhanced after leaving the intestine.

In this study, we evaluated the relationship between raccoon dog activity time and food resources and the degree of urbanization in the western area of Tokyo, the most populated region of Japan. Results showed that raccoon dogs tend to increase their daytime activity and use artificial food resources according to the degree of urbanization, but this is

Main radiation events in Pan‐Octodontoidea (Rodentia, Caviomorpha)
Caviomorphs (South American hystricognaths) are recorded in the continent since the middle Eocene. The middle Eocene–early Oligocene is considered a key moment for their evolutionary history because by the early Oligocene they were differentiated into ...

Prolactin is a strong candidate for the regulation of luteal steroidogenesis in vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus) [PDF]
Prolactin (PRL) is essential for the maintenance of the corpora lutea and the production of progesterone (P4) during gestation of mice and rats, which makes it a key factor for their successful reproduction.

Effectiveness of temporal matching in ecological niche models: Insights for a low‐dispersing species
Abstract Ecological niche models, crucial for estimating the potential distribution of species under global change, can face reduced accuracy when the timing of occurrence data does not align with the environmental data. One solution is to ensure a close temporal match between the environment and the observation date.

Phylogeographic Structure of the Fossorial Long-Clawed Mouse Chelemys macronyx (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) [PDF]
We present a phylogeographic study of the fossorial sigmodontine mouse Chelemys macronyx. Analyses were based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of specimens collected over most of distributional range of the species. Results showed that C.
