recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70914

Abstract: ABSTRACT Hantaviruses are globally distributed zoonotic pathogens capable of causing fatal disease in humans. Addressing the risk of hantavirus spillover from animal reservoirs to humans requires identifying the local reservoirs (usually rodents and other small… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology"

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2367

Abstract: Patterns in distribution and local abundance of species within a biome are central concerns in ecology and allow the understanding of the effects of habitat loss on rates of species extinction; provide support for the… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "MicrobiologyOpen"

DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1318

Abstract: As continued growth in gut microbiota studies in captive and model animals elucidates the importance of their role in host biology, further pursuit of how to retain a wild‐like microbial community is becoming increasingly important… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Wildlife Society Bulletin"

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.805

Abstract: The use of game cameras by wildlife biologists and managers to survey wildlife, particularly medium- and large-bodied mammals, has increased dramatically. Previous attempts to survey small mammals and ectotherms have had limited detection success or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04641-9

Abstract: We studied compositional turnover in communities of fleas and mites harboured by small mammals using zeta diversity metric (similarity between multiple communities) and asked whether the patterns of zeta diversity decline with an increase in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1701-8

Abstract: Invasions by nonnative plants can alter the abundance of native animals, yet we know little about the mechanisms driving these changes. Shifts in vegetation characteristics resulting from nonnative plants can alter availability of food resources,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02089-0

Abstract: Logging and mining are widespread in most West African countries and considering their socio-economic importance, little is known about their ecological impacts. In this study, we investigated the effects of chainsaw milling (logging) and artisanal… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of chemical ecology"

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-022-01350-w

Abstract: An important but understudied modality for eavesdropping between predators and prey is olfaction, especially between non-mammalian vertebrate predators and their prey. Here we test three olfactory eavesdropping predictions involving an apex reptilian predator, the sand… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Mammal Research"

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-025-00784-3

Abstract: Terrestrial small mammals are important elements of the food chain, and like other species affected by climate change. Knowledge about their current distribution is of interest to model future developments and monitoring biodiversity loss. However,… read more here.

Rodents as a reservoir of infection caused by multiple zoonotic species/genotypes of C. parvum, C. hominis, C. suis, C. scrofarum, and the first evidence of C. muskrat genotypes I and II of rodents in Europe.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2017.04.013

Abstract: Cryptosporidium spp. is an important causative agent of intestinal parasitoses-induced diarrhoea in humans and animals worldwide. Rodents (small mammals), the main reservoir of infections, are globally expanded and overpopulated, which increases the risk of transfer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2018.08.020

Abstract: Leptospirosis is caused by the spirochetal bacterium Leptospira of which rodents are considered the most important reservoir. This study aims to determine and characterize virulent Leptospira species among rodents and small mammals found in human… read more here.
