ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

This study reveals that natural selection is the main force shaping the mitochondrial protein‐coding genes of zokors, with all five populations exhibiting strong purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation strongly support the monophyly of the subfamily Soricinae, leading to key taxonomic revisions, including the ...

We studied the spatial and temporal relationships between clouded tiger‐cats and dogs in an isolated protected area of Colombia. Dogs influenced the activity patterns of clouded tiger‐cats but not their habitat use. Conservation actions should be directed to mitigate potential contact between both species.

Genetic diversity and matrilineal structure in Chinese tree shrews inhabiting Kunming, China
Due to their special phylogenetic position in the Euarchontoglires and close affinity to primates, tree shrews have been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research.

ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Tissue distributions of tsIFNλR1 and tsIL10R2 in healthy tree shrews.
Tissues including liver, heart, brain, lung, intestine, kidney, spleen, and stomach were collected from two male tree shrews. Relative amounts of (A) tsIFNλR1 and (B) tsIL10R2 mRNA were measured by qRT-PCR and normalized against GAPDH.

ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of
