Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Intraspecific variation in male mating strategies in an African ground squirrel (Xerus inauris)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Male mating strategies respond to female availability such that variation in resources that affect spatial distribution can also alter cost–benefit tradeoffs within a population. In arid‐adapted species, rainfall alters reproduction, behavior, morphology,

Avian influenza overview March–May 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Between 28 February and 4 June 2026, 949 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (186) and wild (763) birds in 30 countries in Europe. The downward trend in the number of detections observed at the end of the previous reporting period continued and is expected to persist throughout the summer ...

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.

Sherman traps, bucket cameras, eDNA—oh, my: A comparative study of small mammal monitoring methods

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
Comparison of Sherman live trapping, bucket camera traps, and airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) for assessing small mammal communities in restored prairies. Bucket cameras detected the highest species richness, live trapping provided the most precise species identifications, and airborne eDNA detected unique taxa.
