Functional correlates of skull shape in Chiroptera: feeding and echolocation adaptations

Giada Giacomini et al.

Summary: The study found that skull morphology of bats is influenced by diet and sound emission types, with skull shape correlating with echolocation parameters only in a subset of insectivorous bat species. The study questions the trade-off between feeding and echolocation function, suggesting that evolutionary constraints may differ between different groups within Chiroptera.

Taxonomic evaluation of the irani-schidlovskii species complex (Rodentia: Cricetidae) in the Middle East: a morphological and genetic combination

Ahmad Mahmoudi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the taxonomy and intraspecific variability of two closely related social voles, Microtus irani and Microtus schidlovskii in the Middle East, using mitochondrial cytochrome b phylogeny and chromosomal data. The results confirmed their close relationship and provided evidence for their distinct species' status. Additionally, a new subspecies of M. irani from southwestern Iran was discovered.

Summary: An integrative analysis of an isolated population of Harting's vole from the Eastern Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria revealed substantial changes in skull and teeth development, as well as reproductive isolation from voles in Greece and Turkey.

Geometric morphometrics of mandibular shape in the dwarf fat-tailed jerboa: relevancy for trinomial taxonomy

Boris Krystufek et al.

Summary: This study explores the spatial variation in mandibular morphology in the dwarf fat-tailed jerboa, Pygeretmus pumilio, and found that the mandible shape scores can be used to separate populations and closely match subspecies groups. The mandible retains taxonomic information that resembles sexually selective traits, showing potential as a routine step in addressing variations in mammals at species and subspecies levels. The k-means clustering method is advantageous in testing null expectations in subspecies taxonomies, but limitations were found in retrieving subspecies in certain groups.

Discrimination of the two subspecies of Microtus hartingi (Rodentia: Arvicolinae) by shape and linear features of the spermatozoon

Tanya A. Zorenko et al.

Summary: The study compared the sperm morphology of two subspecies of Microtus hartingi, finding that geometric morphometrics is more effective in illustrating shape changes. The differences in head shape and acrosome shape were noted between the subspecies, with geometric morphometrics recommended for studying variations in cell structure at different taxonomic levels.
