Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
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 ...

Insights Into Tribal‐Level Adaptive Evolution and Phylogeny in Soricinae From Mitogenome of the Chinese Endemic Sorex cansulus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger‐Cats (Leopardus pardinoides) and Domestic Dogs (Canis familiaris) in an Isolated Protected Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2011
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.

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
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.

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Chronic Psychosocial Stress Causes Apical Dendritic Atrophy of Hippocampal CA3 Pyramidal Neurons in Subordinate Tree Shrews

open access: yes, 1996
We have shown previously that repeated laboratory restraint stress or daily corticosterone administration affects the structure of CA3 hippocampal neurons in rats.

DiVert: A Global Database of Land Use and Management Effects on Local Vertebrate Abundance and Diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
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

Detection and genome characterization of two novel papillomaviruses and a novel polyomavirus in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) in China

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2019
Background Papillomaviruses (PVs) and polyomaviruses (PyVs) infect diverse vertebrates including human and cause a broad spectrum of outcomes from asymptomatic infection to severe disease.
