Cortical bone adaptation and mineral mobilization in the subterranean mammal Bathyergus suillus (Rodentia: Bathyergidae): effects of age and sex [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The patterns of bone modeling and mineral mobilization (skeletal homeostasis) among mammals other than humans and laboratory rodents are still poorly known.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

From Mice to Mole-Rats: Species-Specific Modulation of Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 Rodent populations living in their natural environments have very diverse ecological and life history profiles that may differ substantially from that of conventional laboratory rodents.

Ontogeny of long-range vocalizations in a Neotropical fossorial rodent: the Anillaco Tuco-Tuco (Ctenomys sp.) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Tuco-tucos (Ctenomys spp.) are subterranean rodents that produce territorial, high intensity long-range vocalizations (LRVs) of broadband and low frequency that are essential for long-distance communication between individuals in different tunnel systems.

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 268, Issue 4, Page 493-511, April 2026.Abstract Enteropathogenic bacteria are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. While mouse models have been indispensable in advancing our understanding of infectious enteric diseases, key differences in intestinal microbiota and immunobiology between mice and humans underscore the need for alternative mammalian models that better ...

BULLAR VOLUME IN SUBTERRANEAN AND SURFACE-DWELLING CAVIOMORPH RODENTS [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2003 Bullar volume was estimated by external measurements for the subterranean genus Ctenomys (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae) and 24 species of surface-dwelling caviomorphs. Bullae were larger in Ctenomys than in caviomorphs. Larger bullar size may reflect good lowfrequency audition and could be an adaptation for subterranean vocal communication.

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.Label: Dryland mammals and heat risk. Description: Using Australia's threatened dryland mammals as a model system, we developed a framework comparing historical, current and future heat envelopes to quantify exposure to novel thermal conditions, identify potential thermal refugia and evaluate the suitability of conservation translocation sites.

Structure and function of the mammalian middle ear. I: Large middle ears in small desert mammals. [PDF]
, 2015 Many species of small desert mammals are known to have expanded auditory bullae. The ears of gerbils and heteromyids have been well described, but much less is known about the middle ear anatomy of other desert mammals.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Using camera trap data from a tropical rainforest, we show that the Asiatic brush‐tailed porcupine uses behavioral trade‐offs: avoiding full moons, preferring 15°C–22°C, and shifting activity to reduce conflict with predators/competitors. This plasticity reveals how it balances foraging efficiency and survival risks, offering insights into conserving ...
