Rock solid: winter ecology of boreal bats at natural hibernation sites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Overwintering bats at northerly latitudes spend up to eight months a year in a state of dormancy: a period characterised by extended use of torpor, but not an absolute lack of activity. Although this period constitutes a majority of their yearly cycle, little is known about their ecology during this time, because of the cryptic behaviour of bats ...

Are Hibernators Toast? Global Climate Change and Prolonged Seasonal Hibernation

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review examines how global climate change impacts mammalian hibernators, emphasizing physiological, ecological and phenological aspects. Many hibernating species already inhabit extreme environments, thus are at risk as climate variability intensifies.

Disrupting Viral Persistence: CRISPR/Cas9‐Based Strategies for Hepatitis B and C Treatment, and Challenges

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) remain among the leading causes of liver disease worldwide. Current antiviral drugs, such as nucleotide analogues (NAs), can reduce the replication of new HBV and HCV infections but cannot completely eliminate chronic infections.

Efficient Bayesian species tree inference under the multispecies coalescent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We develop a Bayesian method for inferring the species phylogeny under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model. To improve the mixing properties of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that traverses the space of species trees, we implement ...

Measuring Personality in Wild Small Mammals: A Review of Methods and Proposal for a Standardised Approach

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We provide a systematic review of methodologies used to study personality in small mammals. We propose adopting ‘Standardised Experimental Design’ and ‘Behavioural Measurements’ to effectively compare results across studies and foster progress in this field.

Contextualising primate origins - an ecomorphological framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ecomorphology - the characterisation of the adaptive relationship between an organism's morphology and its ecological role - has long been central to theories of the origin and early evolution of the primate order.

The Discovery of Trissolcus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) in Michigan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is a pest of growing economic importance in the United States, the control of which currently relies on pesticide applications.

Plasma volume, cell volume, total blood volume and F factor in the tree shrew.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
In this study, the physiological values of volumes of plasma, cells, total blood and the F blood factors were identified in 24 adult tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri; 12 male and 12 female; average BW of 123.9±19.19 g).

The Primate Wrist [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others.

Fungal Keratitis in Tree Shrews

open access: yes, 2020
A tree shrew model of fungal keratitis was established by injecting Fusarium solani into the corneal stroma, to investigate the role of miR-204-3p and KRT16 in fungal keratitis.
