Haematology of New Zealand’s two extant endemic bat species
ABSTRACT This study investigated haematological values for New Zealand’s two extant endemic bats, the long‐tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) and the lesser short‐tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata), to determine whether differences in locomotion and ecology between these species might be reflected in the species’ haematology.

Zoo-FISH in the European mole (Talpa europaea) detects all ancestral Boreo-Eutherian human homologous chromosome associations [PDF]
Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of human homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (Talpa europaea, Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia).

Fostering in southern African Soricidae [PDF]
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.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
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 ...

Predator feeding choice on conspicuous and non-conspicuous carabid beetles: first results
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 ...
