Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Heliosciurus rufobrachium (Rodentia: Sciuridae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2019 AbstractHeliosciurus rufobrachium (Waterhouse, 1842), one of six species of Heliosciurus, is a sciurid commonly called red-legged sun squirrel. It is a medium-sized diurnally adapted tree squirrel occurring at ground-level to upper heights of the canopy of mature forests. It ranges from the west coast of Africa to Garissa County, Kenya.

Small mammals feeding on hypogeous fungi [PDF]
, 2014 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.

, 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 ...

Intérêts et limites de l'approche moléculaire pour aborder la biogéographie et la spéciation : l'exemple de quelques Mammifères d'Afrique tropicale [PDF]
Bulletin de la soci\'et\'e zoologique de France 127 (2002) 359-370, 2007 We attempted to test biogeographic hypotheses proposed for the evolution of tropical faunas using mitochondrial DNA sequences of selected African mammalian taxa (Insectivora, Rodentia and Primates). 1/ we constructed a molecular phylogeny of taxa in order to ascertain their monophyly and calibrate a molecular clock; 2/ we analysed and compared the ...

Mounting a specific immune response increases energy expenditure of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum (tuco-tuco): Implications for intraspecific and interspecific variation in immunological traits [PDF]
, 2010 It was recently hypothesised that specific induced defences, which require substantial time and resources and are mostly beneficial against repeated infections, are more likely to be favoured in 'slow-living-pace' species.

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 The semicircular canals (SCs) of the inner ear detect angular acceleration and are located in the bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone. Based on high-resolution computed tomography, we created a size-independent database of the bony labyrinth of 50 ...

Peromyscus levipes (Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2009 Abstract Peromyscus levipes Merriam, 1898, commonly called the nimbled-footed deermouse, is 1 of 56 species of Peromyscus. It is often confused with other members of the boylii group; therefore, researchers may need to rely on craniometric and karyotypic data to make a positive identification. P.
