Studies on the ecology & behaviour of British shrews
, 1979 PhDAll five species of British shrews (Sorex araneus, S. minut, Neomys fodiens, Crocidura suaveolens and C. russula were studied with the emphasis being placed on the commoner species. The population dynamics and seasonal fluctuations in numbers of S.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 950-971, June 2026.We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well

Social Organisation Predicts Lifespan in Mammals
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of 1436 mammal species, we show that pair‐living and group‐living species have longer maximum lifespans than solitary species after accounting for body mass and phylogeny. Differences between pair‐ and group‐living species were small, and activity period showed weak associations.

, 2020 Due to its relatively small size, homology to humans, and susceptibility to human viruses, the tree shrew becomes an ideal alternative animal model for the study of human viral infectious diseases.

Zoo-FISH in the European mole (Talpa europaea) detects all ancestral Boreo-Eutherian human homologous chromosome associations [PDF]
, 2006 Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of human homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (Talpa europaea, Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia).

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