Biogeography of Angolan rodents: The first glimpse based on phylogenetic evidence
Micro-cursorial mammals from the late Eocene tufas at Eocliff, Namibia
Fossils of macroscelideans, or micro-cursorial mammals, are common and diverse at Eocliff in the Sperrgebiet, Namibia, a complex of tufa deposits of Bartonian-Priabonian age. Associated mammals…

Molecular characterization of Acomys louisae from Somaliland: a deep divergence and contrasting genetic patterns in a rift zone
TLDR
The population parameters and haplotypes suggest that the populations belonging to the Somaliland clade probably underwent a recent expansion of its range and population size, and the Djibouti group shows extremely high nucleotide diversity besides that of haplotype one, which suggests a long-term persistence of large and/or structured populations.
New records of a lost species and a geographic range expansion for sengis in the Horn of Africa
TLDR
New evidence that the Somali Sengi is currently extant is reported and an analysis of ancestral biogeography suggests that the species has inhabited the Horn of Africa for more than 5.4 million years—and the recognition of the species’ phylogenetic ancestry appends the already remarkable biogeographic story of the Macroscelidini tribe.
On the role of (and threat to) natural history museums in mammal conservation: an African small mammal perspective
Abstract. The global environment is faced with growing threats from anthropogenic disturbance, propelling the Earth into a 6th mass extinction. For the world's mammals, this is reflected in the fact…

Diversity and evolution of African Grass Rats (Muridae: Arvicanthis )—From radiation in East Africa to repeated colonization of northwestern and southeastern savannas
Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation
TLDR
Credible sets of mammalian phylogenetic history are developed, enabling investigations of long-standing questions in comparative biology, and finding that node ages are broadly concordant among studies, and recent rates of speciation are estimated more accurately in this study than in previous "supertree" approaches.
Multiple radiations of spiny mice (Rodentia: Acomys) in dry open habitats of Afro-Arabia: evidence from a multi-locus phylogeny
TLDR
The genus Acomys is very suitable model for historical phylogeographic and biogeographic reconstructions of dry non-forested environments in Afro-Arabia and is provided the most thorough phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus.
Rodents and other terrestrial small mammals from Kanapoi, north-western Kenya.
TLDR
Comparisons of the Kanapoi fauna to other eastern African late Miocene-Pliocene (and one Pleistocene) faunas at the generic level suggest the greatest similarity is to Lemudong'o, Kenya, and Omo B and Aramis, Ethiopia.

Fossils know it best: Using a new set of fossil calibrations to improve the temporal phylogenetic framework of murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae).
TLDR
Based on nine controlled fossil calibrations, the inferred temporal timeframe indicates that the murid family likely originated in the course of the Early Miocene, 22.0-17.0 million years ago (Ma), and that most major lineages started diversifying ca.
