First record of Mus cookii (Cook’s mouse) from Pothwar, Pakistan: a probable case of range extension?
Published in Mammalia
The Southeast Asian species Mus (Mus) cookii Ryley 1914 has been previously reported from southern China, Nepal, northeastern and peninsular India, Myanmar, north and central Thailand and Vietnam. A cytochrome b (Cytb) gene analysis revealed the presence of M. cookii which significantly expands the known western range of this species. However, it i...
Pequenos mamíferos (Didelphimorphia, Chiroptera e Rodentia) em egagropilos de Tyto furcata (coruja-das-igrejas) (Aves, T...
A análise e identificação de pequenos mamíferos em egagropilos de coruja, em especial do gênero Tyto, são consideradas uma ferramenta útil e complementar na mastozoologia. No entanto, poucos estudos deste tipo têm sido desenvolvidos no sul do Brasil. Foram analisados os fragmentos cranianos e mandibulares de pequenos mamíferos encontrados em egagro...
Environmental Factors and Zoonotic Pathogen Ecology in Urban Exploiter Species.
Published in EcoHealth
Knowledge of pathogen ecology, including the impacts of environmental factors on pathogen and host dynamics, is essential for determining the risk that zoonotic pathogens pose to people. This review synthesizes the scientific literature on environmental factors that influence the ecology and epidemiology of zoonotic microparasites (bacteria, viruse...
Early Late Miocene Murine Rodents from the Upper Part of the Nagri Formation, Siwalik Group, Pakistan, with a new fossil...
Published in Fossil Imprint
The early late Miocene is an interval of increased diversification for murine rodents. Whereas the genus Progonomys became widespread throughout Eurasia by 10 Ma, it appears from the known paleontological record that southern Asia is the arena of evolution and diversification at the base of the Murinae. The Siwalik fossil record of the Potwar Plate...

Novel approaches to the calculation and comparison of thermoregulatory parameters: Non-linear regression of metabolic ra...
Published in Journal of thermal biology
The calculation and comparison of physiological characteristics of thermoregulation has provided insight into patterns of ecology and evolution for over half a century. Thermoregulation has typically been explored using linear techniques; I explore the application of non-linear scaling to more accurately calculate and compare characteristics and th...
The laboratory mouse and wild immunology.
Published in Parasite immunology
The laboratory mouse, Mus musculus domesticus, has been the workhorse of the very successful laboratory study of mammalian immunology. These studies--discovering how the mammalian immune system can work--have allowed the development of the field of wild immunology that is seeking to understand how the immune responses of wild animals contributes to...
Tandem repeats in the rodent genome and their mapping
Published in Cell and Tissue Biology
Tandemly repeated sequences are unique to eukaryotes and make up tens of percent of the higher eukaryote genome. However, the evolution of this class of sequences is poorly studied. In our paper, 62 families of Mus musculus tandem repeats are analyzed by bioinformatic methods, while 7 of them are analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. It i...
