Global distribution and richness of terrestrial mammals in tidal marshes
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 598-612, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Understanding the determinants of species distribution and richness is key to explaining global ecological patterns. We examined the current knowledge about terrestrial mammals in tidal marshes and evaluated whether species richness increased with the marsh surface area and/or with their proximity to the equator and whether species ...

Solenodon paradoxus(Soricomorpha: Solenodontidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2015 Abstract: Solenodon paradoxus Brandt, 1833, is a large lipotyphlan insectivore commonly called the Hispaniolan solenodon. S. paradoxus is 1 of 2 extant species in the genus Solenodon, and 2 subspecies are recognized. The species is one of few venomous mammals with venom delivery through a channel in a modified lower incisor.

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 4, Page 589-617, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The human lineage transitioned to a more carnivorous niche 2.6 mya and evolved a large body size and slower life history, which likely increased zoonotic pathogen pressure. Evidence for this increase includes increased zoonotic infections in modern hunter‐gatherers and bushmeat hunters, exceptionally low stomach pH compared to other primates ...

Baculum shape complexity correlates to metrics of post‐copulatory sexual selection in Musteloidea
Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 We apply three‐dimensional complexity metrics—alpha shapes and ariaDNE—to Musteloidea baculum. Increased complexity is associated with morphological differences in the baculum distal tip. Complexity scores correlate with intromission duration and relative testes mass, suggesting post‐copulatory sexual selection may be driving the evolution of baculum ...

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 15-26, January 2023., 2023 We investigated the UV‐induced photoluminescence of the fur of 23 species of monotremes, marsupial, and placental mammals. We used emission and excitation spectroscopy as well as multispectral imaging to detect, characterize, and map the chemical compounds responsible for the reddish photoluminescence.

Karyotype Evolution of Shrew Moles (Soricomorpha: Talpidae) [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2008 The Chinese long-tailed mole (Scaptonyx fusicaudus) closely resembles American (Neurotrichus gibbsii) and Japanese (Dymecodon pilirostris and Urotrichus talpoides) shrew moles in size, appearance, and ecological habits, yet it has traditionally been classified either together with (viz subfamily Urotrichinae) or separately (tribe Scaptonychini) from ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 This study reports population‐level differences in SSD in the species Onthophagus babirussa. Populations with lower mammal diversity showed higher degrees of male‐biased SSD, suggesting the importance of dung resource availability and diversity in driving sexual selection.

Ecological correlates of extinction risk in Chinese terrestrial mammals
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1294-1307, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim China is among the countries with highest mammal diversity in the world, but a considerable proportion of Chinese terrestrial mammal species is currently at risk of extinction. For effective conservation, it would be fundamental to answer the following questions: (1) Is extinction risk randomly distributed among families in Chinese ...
