Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]

, 2014
Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Muskrat Island: Behavioral Shifts of an Insular Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Population in the Gulf of Maine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

Host‐Microbiome Associations of Native and Invasive Small Mammals Across a Tropical Urban–Rural Ecotone

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Global change and urbanisation profoundly alter wildlife habitats, driving native animals into novel habitats while increasing the co‐occurrence between native and invasive species. Host‐microbiome associations are shaped by host traits and environmental features, but little is known about their plasticity in co‐occurring native and invasive ...

Shrews (Eulypotyphla: Soricidae) Of Mexico

Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist, 2007
Abstract Examination of published records, and morphometric and morphologic analyses of 3398 museum specimens, revealed that 4 genera including 30 monotypic and 5 polytypic species of shrews (Soricidae) occur in Mexico. Of these, 2 new species were named and 2 subspecies were heretofore unrecognized, 3 were reclassified, and 1 was elevated to species ...

Holocene biogeography of the southwestern European white‐toothed shrew (Crocidura iculisma, Eulipotyphla) through its fossil record

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
The shrew Crocidura iculisma has a fragmented distribution limited to southwestern Europe. This study analyzes changes in its geographic distribution including palaeontological and modern data, revealing a significant reduction its range during the Holocene due to competitive exclusion by Crocidura russula and climatic changes.
