Combining camera trap surveys and IUCN range maps to improve knowledge of species distributions

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH)

Contrasting evidence of phylogenetic trophic niche conservatism in mammals worldwide [PDF]

, 2017
Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining ancestral niche-related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic (Grinellian) dimensions of the ecological niche.

Rule reversal: Ecogeographical patterns of body size variation in the common treeshrew (Mammalia, Scandentia)

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
AbstractThere are a number of ecogeographical “rules” that describe patterns of geographical variation among organisms. The island rule predicts that populations of larger mammals on islands evolve smaller mean body size than their mainland counterparts, whereas smaller‐bodied mammals evolve larger size.

Mammal coloration as a social signal

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 2, Page 114-128, June 2024.
Otherwise apparently cryptic mammals often have conspicuous patches of colour on distal regions of their body, possibly for signalling. To investigate ideas about communication within sociosexual contexts, we used a comparative dataset for 2726 terrestrial mammals to match the coloration and patterning of distal body areas (head, chest, rump, and tail)

Symphyseal morphology and jaw muscle recruitment levels during mastication in musteloid carnivorans

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 2, Page 163-171, March 1, 2024.
Abstract In studies of mammalian mastication, a possible relationship has been proposed between bilateral recruitment of jaw adductor muscle force during unilateral chewing and the degree of fusion of the mandibular symphysis. Specifically, species that have unfused, mobile mandibular symphyses tend to utilize lower levels of jaw adductor force on the ...

Geographic range shifts do not erase the historic signal of speciation in mammals

, 2015
Many evolutionary analyses assume that the positions of species geographic ranges are sufficiently phylogenetically conserved that current ranges reflect ancestral ranges and retain the historic signal of speciation.

The discovery of NLRP3 and its function in cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndromes and innate immunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 259-282, March 2024.
Summary From studies of individual families to global collaborative efforts, the NLRP3 inflammasome is now recognized to be a key regulator of innate immunity. Activated by a panoply of pathogen‐associated and endogenous triggers, NLRP3 serves as an intracellular sensor that drives carefully coordinated assembly of the inflammasome, and downstream ...

Evolution of the Sweetness Receptor in Primates. II. Gustatory Responses of Non-human Primates to Nine Compounds Known to be Sweet in Man [PDF]

, 2017
The gustatory responses of nine compounds, namely glycine, D-phenylalanine, D-tryptophan, cyanosuosan, magapame, sucrononate, campame, cyclamate and superaspartame, all known as sweet in man, were studied in 41 species or subspecies of non-human primates,

Dental eruption in afrotherian mammals. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Afrotheria comprises a newly recognized clade of mammals with strong molecular evidence for its monophyly. In contrast, morphological data uniting its diverse constituents, including elephants, sea cows, hyraxes, aardvarks, sengis, tenrecs ...
