Lassa fever, also known as Lassa hemorrhagic fever, is a virus that has generated recurrent
outbreaks in West Africa. We use mechanistic modelling to study the Lassa fever epidemics …

Amazonian savannas are isolated patches of open habitats within an array of extensive
tropical forest. The mammal fauna of the savannas in the Alter do Chão region (Santarém …

The Cerrado biome is one of the global hotspots of biodiversity, and non-volant small
mammals represent a significant portion of Cerrado species richness (45%) and endemism …

Understanding the relative importance of exogenous and endogenous factors in natural
population dynamics has been a central question in ecology. However, until recently few …

Rodents are notable for their unique life history traits that render a fast-breeding capacity.
Their short generation times allow local adaptations to appear, and several studies have …

Rodent assemblages have ecological importance in ecosystem functioning and protected
area management. Our study examines the patterns of assemblages of rodents across four …

Invasive species are among the major threats to global biodiversity. Plant invasions are
often driven by great propagule pressure that overcomes barriers to early colonisation and …

Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is the most prolific invading plant in western North America.
Investigations determining the impact of this invasion on population state variables and …

Small mammals interfere in plant dynamics through seed and seedling predation, and seed
dispersion. In anthropogenic systems, some species provide ecosystem services while …

Small mammals show prominent spatial and temporal fluctuations. A study was conducted to
assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of small mammals in Wenchi highlands, central …
