Widespread exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides among common urban mesopredators in Chicago
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are currently the most common method to control rats in
cities, but these compounds also cause morbidity and mortality in non-target wildlife. Little …

A solution to the challenges of interdisciplinary aggregation and use of specimen-level trait data
Understanding variation of traits within and among species through time and across space is
central to many questions in biology. Many resources assemble species-level trait data, but …

Insectivory leads to functional convergence in a group of Neotropical rodents
The mandible of vertebrates serves as insertion area for masticatory muscles that originate
on the skull, and its functional properties are subject to selective forces related to trophic …

Small mammal glucocorticoid concentrations vary with forest fragment size, trap type, and mammal taxa in the Interior Atlantic Forest
Species that live in degraded habitats often show signs of physiological stress.
Glucocorticoid hormones (eg, corticosterone and cortisol) are often assessed as a proxy of …

Ontogenetic shape trajectory of Trichomycterus areolatus varies in response to water velocity environment
Body and head shape among fishes both vary between environments influenced by water
velocity and across ontogeny. Although the shape changes associated with variation in …

Andean rain shadow effect drives phenotypic variation in a widely distributed Austral rodent
Aim Mountains cover approximately 22% of the planet's terrestrial surface and have
dramatic effects on climate and biodiversity. The rain shadow effect is a common feature on …

Functional indices and postnatal ontogeny of long bones of the forelimb in the sigmodontine rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
The adaptations for a particular locomotor type (eg, fossorial or saltatorial) could affect limb
bone morphology throughout ontogeny. We explore how the measurements of the forelimbs …

Discovery of a new genus record for Paraguay, the Atlantic Forest endemic rodent Abrawayaomys (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae)
The mammals of Paraguay are still poorly known. We report a new genus for the country,
Abrawayaomys, a spiny cricetid rodent endemic for the Interior Atlantic Forest. This record …

Evolutionary patterns of cranial ontogeny in Sigmodontines (Rodentia, Cricetidae)
Sigmodontines comprise one of the most diverse radiations of mammals. The cranial
ontogeny has been studied in several mammals, but remains poorly studied in the group …
