A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Forrajeo de Cecropia obtusifolia (Rosales: Urticaceae) por Sciurus colliaei (Rodentia: Sciuridae) en Puerto Vallarta, México

Mammalogy Notes, 2022
La información sobre el comportamiento de alimentación de los animales es crucial para evaluar su capacidad de adaptación en ambientes antropizados. Durante septiembre de 2011 y abril de 2012, fotografiamos un individuo de ardilla colimense (Sciurus ...

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

Iranian 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.

Chimpanzees and Elephants Can Be Used as Reliable Flagship‐Umbrella Species for Eco‐Labels

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study assessed the potential of two flagship species, chimpanzees and elephants, to be used as reliable umbrella species for broader biodiversity conservation around Kibale National Park, Uganda. Using 4 years of camera‐trap and illegal activity data, we modeled species co‐occurrence and species‐specific responses to anthropogenic pressures ...

The spectral transmission of ocular media suggests ultraviolet sensitivity is widespread among mammals [PDF]

, 2014
Although ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity is widespread among animals it is considered rare in mammals, being restricted to the few species that have a visual pigment maximally sensitive (λmax) below 400 nm.

Biome Specialisation in Squirrels: Phylogenetic and Geographic Patterns

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Habitat breadth shapes species' responses to environmental change and influences large‐scale biodiversity patterns. According to Vrba's resource‐use hypothesis, biome specialists (inhabiting a single biome) exhibit higher speciation rates than generalists due to increased population isolation during habitat fragmentation, generally ...
