An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Fostering in southern African Soricidae [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1993 The successful raising one young of one female Crocidura f. flavescens by another is reported. Attempts at using C. h. hirta and Myosorex varius as foster parents, and as well as at hand rearing of C. f. flavescens were unsuccessful. An attempt is made to explain the significance of this occurrence.

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Predator feeding choice on conspicuous and non-conspicuous carabid beetles: first results
ZooKeys, 2011 Insects use various types of behaviour, chemical defences, mimetic, aposematic or cryptic appearances as anti-predatory strategies. Among insects, carabid beetles of the genus Brachinus are distasteful prey because they discharge an irritating &ldquo ...
