Complex History of Codiversification and Host Switching of a Newfound Soricid-Borne Orthohantavirus in North America

Viruses, 2019
Orthohantaviruses are tightly linked to the ecology and evolutionary history of their mammalian hosts. We hypothesized that in regions with dramatic climate shifts throughout the Quaternary, orthohantavirus diversity and evolution are shaped by dynamic ...

Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.

Molecular evolution of Azagny virus, a newfound hantavirus harbored by the West African pygmy shrew (Crocidura obscurior) in Côte d'Ivoire

Virology Journal, 2011
Background Tanganya virus (TGNV), the only shrew-associated hantavirus reported to date from sub-Saharan Africa, is harbored by the Therese's shrew (Crocidura theresae), and is phylogenetically distinct from Thottapalayam virus (TPMV) in the Asian house ...

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Transforming Human–Manatee Relations: Socio‐Ecological Drivers of Conflict and Coexistence in Lake Ossa, Cameroon

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems worldwide face increasing human–wildlife conflicts as fishing activities overlap with critical habitats for vulnerable species. Human–wildlife interactions in artisanal fisheries exemplify socio‐ecological systems that necessitate adaptive management approaches, integrating ecological and social dimensions.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Factors affecting distribution and habitat selection of water shrews Neomys fodiens

, 2012
The water shrew Neomys fodiens is one of Britain’s least known mammals and its habitat requirements are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine occurrence and associated habitat preferences of water shrews, a species of conservation
