DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoz047
Abstract: Abstract In grassland ecosystems, burrowing mammals create disturbances, providing habitat for animal species and increasing plant community diversity. We investigated whether seedling assemblages on Richardson’s ground squirrel Urocitellus richardsonii mounds result from seed rearrangement or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1638/2021-0099
Abstract: Abstract: Pseudo-odontoma can occur in some species with elodont teeth. Pseudo-odontomas affecting maxillary dentition may result in obstruction of the nasal cavities and lead to dyspnea. Effective treatments for the disease in Richardson's ground squirrels… read more here.
