DOI: 10.1007/s10914-021-09561-w
Abstract: We provide the first detailed description of the cranial anatomy of an early marmotine ground squirrel Csakvaromys (= Spermophilinus) bredai, based on a well-preserved facial skull and associated specimens from the early late Miocene (11.1–9.7 Ma) Grytsiv… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2018.12.043
Abstract: Abstract Fossorial rodents through their burrowing activities are important disturbance agents in grassland ecosystems. The European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) is a medium-sized ground squirrel occurring in central and south-eastern Europe. The aim of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41374-021-00637-y
Abstract: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death occurs after optic nerve injury due to acute trauma or chronic degenerative conditions such as optic neuropathies (e.g., glaucoma). Currently, there are no effective therapies to prevent permanent vision loss… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08912963.2019.1609956
Abstract: ABSTRACT Here, we propose the modern soil map as a source for creating spatial context for agent-based modelling of the historical expansion and dispersal of ground squirrel species. On the basis of this soil map,… read more here.

Phylogeography of the European ground squirrel, Spermophilus citellus (Rodentia: Sciuridae), in the Balkans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Biological Journal of the Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blad021
Abstract: The Balkan Peninsula acted as a refugium for many steppic species during the Pleistocene, resulting in a high genetic variability, which, in some cases, presents a northward decreasing latitudinal gradient. In the present study, we… read more here.
