recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71357

Abstract: ABSTRACT Knowledge of wolf ( Canis lupus )‐beaver ( Castor canadensis ) interactions has largely been derived from indirect observations due to the cryptic nature of wolves and the densely forested areas where they usually… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21532

Abstract: Platypsyllus castoris is closely associated with beavers and displays a unique set of structural specializations. We document the morphology of adults with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-020-01379-w

Abstract: Eurasian beaver ( Castor fiber ) populations are expanding across Europe. Depending on location, beaver dams bring multiple benefits and/or require management. Using nationally available data, we developed: a Beaver Forage Index (BFI), identifying beaver… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2017.12.001

Abstract: ABSTRACT Beavers (Castor canadensis) disappeared from drainages north of Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1900s because of trapping, a potential tularemia outbreak, and willow (Salix spp.) stand degradation by ungulates. Beavers were reintroduced in 1986… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-43710-9

Abstract: This is a multi-individual (n = 11), stable carbon and nitrogen isotope study of bone collagen (δ13Ccol and δ15Ncol) from the giant beaver (genus Castoroides). The now-extinct giant beaver was once one of the most widespread Pleistocene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-6432-4

Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have roles in gene regulation, epigenetics, and molecular scaffolding and it is hypothesized that they underlie some mammalian evolutionary adaptations. However, for many mammalian species, the absence of a genome assembly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3161/15081109acc2024.26.1.006

Abstract: Riparian ecosystems are valuable habitats for bats, due to high densities of emergent aquatic invertebrates that provide high-quality feeding areas. Throughout Europe, decline and extirpation of European beaver (Castor fiber) has been a key driver… read more here.
