Estimating abundance of rare, small mammals: A case study of the Key Largo woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli)

, 2011
Estimates of animal abundance or density are fundamental quantities in ecology and conservation, but for many species such as rare, small mammals, obtaining robust estimates is problematic.

Whisker touch sensing guides locomotion in small, quadrupedal mammals [PDF]

, 2018
All small mammals have prominent facial whiskers that they employ as tactile sensors to guide navigation and foraging in complex habitats. Nocturnal, arboreal mammals tend to have the longest and most densely packed whiskers, and semi-aquatic mammals ...

E2A selectively regulates TGF‐β–induced apoptosis in KRAS‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ability to induce apoptosis by TGF‐β is frequently lost in advanced lung adenocarcinoma despite intact TGF‐β signaling. We identify E2A as a mutant KRAS–dependent mediator of resistance to TGF‐β–induced apoptosis. TGF‐β induces E2A via SMAD3 in mutant KRAS cells, and E2A silencing restores apoptosis and enhances radiation response in cell lines ...

Serum Lipid Reference Intervals of High-Density, Low-Density and Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterols and Their Association with Atherosclerosis and Other Factors in Psittaciformes

Animals
Atherosclerosis is highly prevalent among captive psittacine populations and is a frequent cause of veterinary consultations. Ante-mortem diagnosis remains challenging, but the serum lipoprotein analysis has been suggested as a useful tool for ...

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Influence of some environmental parameters on small mammals (Rodentia, Insectivora) in the Central Alps

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1997
<strong>Abstract</strong> This paper points out the relationships occurring between small mammal populations studied in some areas of the central-Western italian Alpine Arch, and some environmental parameters that characterize the Alpine ...

Additional records of small mammals in northern South Australia

, 2011
Analysis of prey remains found in predator scats is a valuable tool for assessing the distribution and status of small mammal populations. As part of a large-scale dingo research project in northern South Australia, the prey remains found in 1845 dingo ...

Should we stay or should we go now? What happens to small mammals when grass is mown, and the implications for birds of prey [PDF]

, 2012
With some raptors showing widespread declines, management of grassland to enhance access to their small mammal prey may be an important conservation tool. Many small mammal species prefer long grass as a habitat that offers protection from predation, and

Orientia tsutsugamushi in chiggers and small mammals in Laos

, 2022
Scrub typhus is a leading cause of febrile illness in Laos and accounts for a high burden of disease. There have been no previous studies on the causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi, in vector mites (“chiggers”) or their small mammal hosts in Laos ...
