Nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene for phylogeny of some species of Rodentia

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2023
Order Rodentia contains approximately half of all living mammalian species. Most of the living species diversity within rodents is within five monophyletic radiations: Hystricognathi, Sciuridae, Geomyoidea, Dipodidae, and Muroidea.

Landscape Composition and Proximity to Water Affect American Badger Occupancy in Shortgrass Prairies 景观组成和与水的距离影响矮草草原中美洲獾的占域率

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.
American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.

Energized fencing reduces risk of American black bear (Ursus americanus) damage to bird feeders in Minnesota

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Energized fences were effective at reducing black bear damage to bird feeders. The fences were 100% effective in a good natural bear food year and 77% effective in a poor natural bear food year. When bears breached the fences, the cause was typically poor electrical grounding.

Macrostylophora kinabaluae n. sp. (Insecta : Siphonaptera : Ceratophyllidae), puce nouvelle de Sabah (Île de Bornéo, Malaisie Orientale)

open access: yesParasite, 2005
Cette espèce, seulement connue par un mâle, est décrite du Mont Kinabalu et est donc en sympatrie avec Macrostylophora borneensis (Jordan, 1926), teste Traub (1972).

Climbing the urban canopy: Camera trap insights into mammal activity and habitat use

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Urbanization profoundly impacts wildlife behavior and habitat use. While the effects of urbanization on diel activity patterns and mammal interactions have been well studied at the ground level, little is known about spatiotemporal patterns above the ground.

Lost in synonymy: Integrative species delimitation reveals two unrecognized species of Southern Asian tree squirrels (Rodentia: Sciuridae: Callosciurinae) [PDF]

open access: yesVertebrate Zoology
We present a comprehensive integrative taxonomic review of Callosciurus caniceps and Tamiops mcclellandii as they are currently defined. This review combines published molecular evidence, craniodental morphometrics, pelage and bacular variation ...

Preliminary study of rodents using pellets of predatory birds in Iran [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2014
Predatory birds feed mainly on small mammals. They usually swallow their prey and after digesting, the indigestible fur, bones and teeth are regurgitated as compact pellets. The investigation of pellet is an extremely valuable tool for mammalogists.

Small mammals from Vértesacsa as a contribution to chronology of the late Miocene Zagyva Formation (W Hungary) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The small fossils (Rodentia and Eulipotyphla) from Csönget-Völgy near Vértesacsa in Western Hungary are pre¬sented herein; and although the assemblage contains relatively poor material, we describe nine rodent taxa and two insec¬tivore species.

Predation on Northern Silky Anteater (Cyclopes dorsalis) by Tiger Rat Snake (Spilotes pullatus) in a Rainforest Fragment in Costa Rica

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We report the first predation event of a northern silky anteater by a tiger rat snake. This predation underscores how little is known about the nocturnal anteater and its predators. As the snake is commensal with humans, anthropogenic habitat alterations might have exposed the anteater to a novel predation pressure.
