A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

Activity and space patterns of Pyrenean desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) suggest non-aggressive and non-territorial behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Pyrenean desman is considered a flagship species for biodiversity and evolution. However, its scientific knowledge is still under development and currently on debate, particularly in relation to its behavioural ecology and social organization.

Network dynamics revealed from eDNA highlight seasonal variation in urban mammal communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1587-1602, August 2025.
Our novel study applied eDNA to track seasonal shifts in urban mammal communities, revealing changes in diversity and species interaction networks across 21 urban parks in Detroit. We highlight the influence of park size and human activity on biodiversity, demonstrating the utility of eDNA for urban conservation and wildlife management.

Distribution and population density of the Russian desman (Desmana moschata L., Talpidae, Insectivora) in the Middle Volga of Russia

open access: yesMetsanduslikud Uurimused, 2019
To date according to the registration work, the number of the Russian desman determined actually is 588 individuals in Mordovia. Based on extrapolation, the total desman population in Mordovia is about 1,400 individuals.

Foraging niche partitioning within a recently established guild of falcons

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 734-749, July 2025.
Ecological theory predicts that coexisting species should exhibit realized niche differentiation to minimize competition. However, little is known about patterns of niche differentiation when ‘newcomer’ species spontaneously colonize a new region, leading to novel sympatric conditions.

Trophic systems and chorology: data from shrews, moles and voles of Italy preyed by the barn owl / Sistemi trofici e corologia: dati su <em>Soricidae</em>, <em>Talpidae</em> ed <em>Arvicolidae</em> d'Italia predati da <em>Tyto alba</em> (Scopoli 1769)

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1986
<strong>Abstract</strong> In small Mammals biogeography, available data are up to now by far too scanty for elucidate the distribution of a lot of taxa, especially with regard to the absence from a given area.

MUSCLE SPINDLE SUPPLY TO THE SNOUT MUSCULATURE IN MOLES (TALPIDAE)

open access: yesMUSCLE SPINDLE SUPPLY TO THE SNOUT MUSCULATURE IN MOLES (TALPIDAE), 1976
To define the anatomical background of the neuromuscular mechanism involved in the movement of the snout of the moles (Talpidae) the present histological study was carried out on the snout muscles of this family including the Japanese shrew-mole (Urotrichus talpoides), Japanese lesser shrew-mole (Dymecodon pilirostris) and Temminck’s mole (Mogera ...
