Postcrania of Borealestes (Mammaliformes, Docodonta) and the emergence of ecomorphological diversity in early mammals

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract The Middle Jurassic witnessed the early diversification of mammal groups, including the stem‐mammalian clade, Docodonta. Recent discoveries in China indicate docodontans exhibited ecomorphological diversity akin to small‐bodied mammals living >100 million years later, in the Cenozoic.

Risk of human‐to‐wildlife transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 272-292, April 2021., 2021
SARS‐CoV‐2, the highly transmissible novel coronavirus in humans, has a strikingly broad potential host range. We review the risk and potential impact of human‐to‐wildlife transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2. As demonstrated by several observations of humans transmitting SARS‐CoV‐2 to felids, dogs and mink, and by numerous animal and in vitro infection ...
