General palaeontology, systematics and evolution (Vertebrate palaeontology) Early Late Miocene insectivores (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia) from the Cañada section (Province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain). [PDF]
Vallesian (early Late Miocene) strata from the recently introduced Ca˜nada section (province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain) have yielded fairly large insectivore assemblages. These show that, after the generally dry Aragonian, the Vallesian gave rise

Supplementary feeding of wild birds indirectly affects ground beetle populations in suburban gardens [PDF]
Supplementary feeding of wild birds by domestic garden-holders is a globally widespread and popular form of human–wildlife interaction, particularly in urban areas. Vast amounts of energy are thus being added to garden ecosystems.

THERMAL MODE OF THE HABITATS OF THE RUSSIAN DESMAN (DESMANA MOSCHATA, TALPIDAE, SORICOMORPHA)
The seasonal changes of the soil and water temperature of reservoirs the forest (the Klyazma river) and meadow (the Oka river) floodplains inhabited by the Russian desman were studied. The temperature range which the animal lives within varies from 0 - 7°

The human and mammalian cerebrum scale by computational power and information resistance
The cerebrum of mammals spans a vast range of sizes and yet has a very regular structure. The amount of folding of the cortical surface and the proportion of white matter gradually increase with size, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.
