Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 15, Page 4991-5011, December 2024.Molehills are dynamic landforms that change in size and shape in response to phases of construction, collapse, erosion and rebuilding. Through the construction of these mounds, moles are capable of moving substantial volumes of sediment in highly active areas.

Genetic variation in a subterranean mammal,Scalopus aquaticus(Insectivora: Talpidae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996 Abstract Allozyme variation was examined for 382 moles ( Scalopus aquaticus ) collected from 16 localities located within a 23 km 2 area in South Carolina, U.S.A. Of 26 presumptive loci that were scored for all moles, 8 (30·8%) were observed to be polymorphic. Mean direct-count heterozygosity was 7·2%, c .

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.Using diffusible iodine‐based contrast‐enhanced computed tomography, we show the complex muscle arrangement of the jaw apparatus in various Soricidae. Crocudurinae and Soricinae exhibit a strong subdivision of the m. masseter, inserting laterally on their long angular process, and of the m.

Comparative Morphology of the Penis and Clitoris in Four Species of Moles (Talpidae). [PDF]
, 2017 The penile and clitoral anatomy of four species of Talpid moles (broad-footed, star-nosed, hairy-tailed, and Japanese shrew moles) were investigated to define penile and clitoral anatomy and to examine the relationship of the clitoral anatomy with the ...

Comparison of Seven DNA Metabarcoding Sampling Methods to Assess Diet in a Large Avian Predator
Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.We evaluated seven DNA metabarcoding sampling methods to assess the diet of a large avian predator: Buteo lagopus (rough‐legged hawk). While all sampling methods identified similar dominant prey taxa that were consistent with prior diet studies, swabbing the beak and talons produced greater prey detection rates and prey richness at both the individual ...

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,

Cathemerality: a key temporal niche
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 329-347, April 2024.ABSTRACT Given the marked variation in abiotic and biotic conditions between day and night, many species specialise their physical activity to being diurnal or nocturnal, and it was long thought that these strategies were commonly fairly fixed and invariant.

A Novel Hantavirus of the European Mole, Bruges Virus, Is Involved in Frequent Nova Virus Coinfections [PDF]
, 2017 Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses with a complex evolutionary history of virus–host coevolution and cross-species transmission. Although hantaviruses have a broad reservoir host range, virus–host relationships were previously thought to be strict ...
