Novel frontier in wildlife monitoring: Identification of small rodent species from fecal pellets using near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9857
Abstract: Small rodents are prevalent and functionally important across world’s biomes, making their monitoring salient for ecosystem management, conservation, forestry and agriculture. Yet, there is a dearth of cost-effective and non-invasive methods for large-scale, intensive sampling.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6905
Abstract: BACKGROUND Some rodent species living in arid areas show elevated physiological tolerance to anti-vitamin K rodenticides (AVKs), which seems due to some unknown selective pressures that rodents may experience in desert habitats. Genes involved in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-018-2575-6
Abstract: The role played by rodents in the colonization of acorn-producing plant species has been interpreted in different ways along time. It has gone from a predation relationship, in which rodents destroy seeds by devouring them,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x23000160
Abstract: Abstract In this paper we re-describe Trichuris muris based on morphological data following isolation from two commensal rodent species, Mus musculus from Mexico and Rattus rattus from Argentina. Furthermore, we provide a molecular characterization based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/am17016
Abstract: Camera trapping has evolved into an efficient technique for gathering presence/absence data for many species; however, smaller mammals such as rodents are often difficult to identify in images. Identification is inhibited by co-occurrence with similar-sized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/03014223.2018.1540996
Abstract: ABSTRACT Norbormide (NRB) is a Rattus-specific toxicant that has low palatability and produces sub-lethal dosing in the field, thereby limiting its effectiveness as a rodent control tool. In this study, we assessed the species-specific effect… read more here.

High levels of infectiousness of asymptomatic Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis infections in wild rodents highlights their importance in the epidemiology of American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010996
Abstract: Background The epidemiological significance of wildlife infections with aetiological agents causing human infectious diseases is largely determined by their infection status, contact potential with humans (via vectors for vector-borne diseases), and their infectiousness to maintain… read more here.
