Bloodlines: mammals, leeches, and conservation in southern Asia [PDF]

, 2018
Southern Asia is a biodiversity hotspot both for terrestrial mammals and for leeches. Many small-mammal groups are under-studied in this region, while other mammals are of known conservation concern. In addition to standard methods for surveying mammals,

Museum Specimens Reveal the Taxonomic Distinctions Among South Asian Treeshrews. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we investigated the morphological relationships among the treeshrew species found in South Asia using museum specimens collected over a wide spatial and temporal range in India and Myanmar, combined with existing published datasets, contributing to broader taxonomic knowledge of treeshrew diversity.

Euarchontan opsin variation brings new focus to primate origins [PDF]

, 2016
Debate on the adaptive origins of primates has long focused on the functional ecology of the primate visual system. For example, it is hypothesized that variable expression of short- (SWS1) and middle-to-long-wavelength sensitive (M/LWS) opsins, which ...
