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.

As a monogamous species, the prairie vole is a common model for social neuroscience. Gustison and colleagues mapped a whole-brain histological atlas of the prairie vole and used this atlas to identify a neural network of pair-bonding behaviour. The study

Wildlife friendly agriculture: which factors do really matter? A genetic study on field vole [PDF]
The distribution of genetic differentiation and the directions of gene flow were determined mainly by landscape factors: thus the expectation that organic fields act as genetic reservoir was not met.

Abstract The timing of an animal's activity affects its survival and reproduction because timing determines the nature of every interaction an organism has with its environment. Although the timing of activity may depend on aspects of the individual (e.g., body mass, reproductive status, experience) or the nature of the environment (e.g., temperature ...

Effects of fluorescence‐activated sperm sorting on IVF outcomes and motility subpopulations. Distinct boar ejaculates were either used directly for in vitro fertilization (IVF; control, unsorted) or processed by fluorescence‐activated cell sorting to generate a sorted sperm population.

We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

Nonapeptide molecular evolution during the adaptive radiation of Tanganyika cichlids
Abstract Oxytocin (OT) and vasotocin (VT) are evolutionarily conserved nonapeptides that regulate a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes in vertebrates. Their receptor families have undergone gene duplications that facilitated functional diversification throughout vertebrate evolution.

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions
