We use museum and other collection records to document large and extraordinarily rapid changes in the ranges and relative abundance of nine species of mammals in the northern Great Lakes region…

Body size is determined by a compromise between many requirements, and in the case of male bats, feeding and roosting habits are probably paramount, but in addition an increase in body size reduces the proportionate load of the fetus or newborn young.

The roof rat (Rattus rattus Linnaeus) was initially introduced into the Galapagos Archipelago before Darwin's visit in 1835 and is thus one of the most successful mammalian weed species, being equally adept at establishing feral as well as human associated populations.

A phylogeny of 35 species of nectar-feeding bats based on 119 morphological characters, including 62 from the skin, skull, and dentition and 57 soft tissue characters, results in a phylogeny that includes Brachyphyllinae and Phyllonycterinae in Glossophaginae, and support for basal nodes of the phylogeny remains weak.
Reproduction by Peromyscus maniculatus: Size and Compromise
The size of young at birth and their number of littermates was clearly related to their probability of surviving the nursing period, and size differences among young at weaning persisted well into adult life.

In this study, sequences of nucleotides making up cytochrome b violate an important assumption of phylogenetic analysis, independence of characters in a group of South American rodents.

The extent to which pectoralis muscles have the capacity for glucose oxidation appears to be dependent on the intake of dietary glucose, and the weight restrictions of flight limit glycogen storage and thus bias muscle metabolism toward fat.
