The paper examines how pine plantations affect infectious agent communities in wood mice, finding habitat-specific impacts on infection probability and host abundance with implications for zoonotic risk.

The paper assesses small mammal communities in pine plantations and hedgerows, finding hedgerows benefit some species but not restore forest specialists.

The paper examines the dilution effect of host diversity on small mammal-borne pathogens, finding pathogen-specific patterns influenced by host competence and abundance.

The paper surveys zoonotic pathogens in small mammals across a forest anthropization gradient, finding pathogen richness and community structure vary with host species, site, and urban adaptation traits.

This study examines how urbanization affects small mammal communities and their gut microbiota, finding that urban species show reduced taxonomic diversity but increased functional diversity in their microbiota.

The paper identifies a genetic variant in the LEPR gene associated with body fat reserves in sheep through genome-wide association studies.
