Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

A genetic linkage map and comparative mapping of the prairie vole (
BMC Genetics, 2011 Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an emerging rodent model for investigating the genetics, evolution and molecular mechanisms of social behavior. Though a karyotype for the prairie vole has been reported and low-resolution comparative

Adjustable reach in a network centrality based on current flows
, 2021 Centrality, which quantifies the "importance" of individual nodes, is among the most essential concepts in modern network theory. Most prominent centrality measures can be expressed as an aggregation of influence flows between pairs of nodes.

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Housing quality affects male mouse attractiveness to females ABSTRACT Females generally prefer mates with traits indicating low stress (e.g., large size; good health). In captivity, stress from suboptimal housing might therefore reduce male attractiveness.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Use of chlorophacinone in the struggle against the common vole (Microtus arvalis Pallas) and against the muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus L.) [PDF]
, 1974 Use of the anticoagulant rodenticide chlorophacinone was largely developed in France during the past decade. Laboratory and field trials of this compound’s development for control of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) and the introduced muskrat (Ondatra ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐

Small mammals feeding on hypogeous fungi [PDF]
, 2014 The spores stay viable after passing through the animal gut, and in some cases their ability to germinate and form mycorrhiza is enhanced after leaving the intestine.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...
