Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.

The spectral transmission of ocular media suggests ultraviolet sensitivity is widespread among mammals [PDF]
, 2014 Although ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity is widespread among animals it is considered rare in mammals, being restricted to the few species that have a visual pigment maximally sensitive (λmax) below 400 nm.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Individual strategies of aggressive and non-aggressive male mice in encounters with trained aggressive residents [PDF]
, 1992 To determine whether individual differences in offensive behaviour are related to differences in defensive behaviour, the responses of male wild house mice, Mus domesticus, of an aggressive and a non-aggressive line to defeat by physically stronger ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Genomic analysis reveals hidden biodiversity within colugos, the sister group to primates [PDF]
, 2016 Colugos are among the most poorly studied mammals despite their centrality to resolving supraordinal primate relationships. Two described species of these gliding mammals are the sole living members of the order Dermoptera, distributed throughout ...

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.We examined how mid‐ to large‐bodied mammal communities vary along elevational gradients in northwestern Borneo using camera trap data from six protected areas. Although species richness remained constant across elevations, species composition and activity patterns shifted, with some taxa more common at low or high elevations. These findings underscore

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Our study investigated behavioural thermoregulation in a population of wild banded mongooses found on the equator living under narrow thermal ranges and so potentially vulnerable to even small increases in temperature. We collected fine‐scale behavioural and environmental data and found evidence of behavioural thermoregulation, with individuals ...

Gustatory responses in primates to the sweetener aspartame and their phylogenetic implications [PDF]
, 2017 Two-bottle preference tests have been applied to 70 (sub-) species of the order of Primates and, for comparison, to the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) to determine their responses to aspartame (APM), the first known sweet-tasting dipeptide which has to ...
