Abstract With almost 2,600 species, Rodentia is the most diverse order of mammals. Here,
we provide an overview of changes in our understanding of the systematics of living rodents …

We combined new sequence data for more than 300 muroid rodent species with our
previously published sequences for up to five nuclear and one mitochondrial genes to …

Aberrant pelage color patterns such as albinism have been reported in some mammal
groups including rodents, but in spite of the group's richness, the phenomenon is relatively …

Sahul unites the world's largest and highest tropical island and the oldest and most arid
continent on the backdrop of dynamic environmental conditions. Massive geological uplift in …

Aim To determine the historical dynamics of colonization and whether the relative timing of

A beautifully illustrated guide to the complete mammalian biodiversity of the Philippines'
largest island. Revealing the astounding mammalian diversity found on the largest …

Abstract Murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) represent the most diverse and abundant
mammalian family. In this study, we provide a refined set of fossil calibrations which is used …

The estimation of robust and accurate measures of branch support has proven challenging
in the era of phylogenomics. In data sets of potentially millions of sites, bootstrap support for …

Time calibration derived from the fossil record is essential for molecular phylogenetic and
evolutionary studies. Fossil mice and rats, discovered in the Siwalik Group of Pakistan, have …

Turbinal bones are key components of the mammalian rostrum that contribute to three
critical functions:(1) homeothermy,(2) water conservation and (3) olfaction. With over 700 …
