Africa's national parks hit by mammal declines
African national parks like Masai Mara and the Serengeti have seen populations of large mammals decline by up to 59 per cent, according to a study published in Biological Conservation. View More (2010-07-13)
Global map shows new patterns of extinction risk
The most detailed world map of mammals, birds and amphibians ever produced shows that endangered species from these groups do not inhabit the same geographical areas, says new research published today. View More (2006-11-02)
Disaster map predicts bleak future for mammals
MAMMALS could be at a greater risk of extinction due to predicted increases in extreme weather conditions, states a paper published today by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). View More (2012-12-14)
Giants among us: Paper explores evolution of the world's largest mammals
The largest mammal that ever walked the earth - Indricotherium transouralicum, a hornless rhinoceros-like herbivore that weighed approximately seventeen tons and stood about eighteen feet high at the shoulder-lived in Eurasia almost 34 View More (2010-11-29)
Medical College researchers find dinosaur clues in fat
A team of researchers at New York Medical College has discovered why birds, unlike mammals, lack a tissue that is specialized to generate heat. View More (2008-04-24)
Robust time estimation reconciles views of the antiquity of placental mammals
Despite great progress over the past decade, the evolutionary history of placental mammals remains controversial. While a consensus is emerging on the topology of the evolutionary tree, although with occasional disagreement, divergence times remain uncertain. View More (2007-04-18)
Monash University researcher explores evolution of the world's largest mammals over the past 100 million years
Researchers have demonstrated that the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago paved the way for mammals to get bigger - about a thousand times bigger than they had been. View More (2010-11-29)
Invasion of genomic parasites triggered modern mammalian pregnancy
Genetic parasites invaded the mammalian genome more than 100 million years ago and dramatically changed the way mammals reproduce -- transforming the uterus in the ancestors of humans and other mammals from the production of eggs to a nurturing home for developing young, a new Yale University study has found.

Millions of new regulatory elements found in human genome
An international research team led by Kerstin Lindblad-Toh at the Broad Institute, US and Uppsala University, Sweden has mapped and compared the genomes of 29 mammals. View More (2011-10-13)
Whiskers marked milestone in evolution of mammals from reptiles
Research from the University of Sheffield comparing rats and mice with their distance relatives the marsupial, suggests that moveable whiskers were an important milestone in the evolution of mammals from reptiles.

Scientists report the first live births in large mammals after using frozen ovarian tissue
Lausanne, Switzerland: French scientists have succeeded in using previously frozen ovarian tissue to produce live offspring in large mammals for the first time. The team, led by Professor Bruno Salle and Dr Jacqueline Lornage of the Departement de Médecine de la Reproduction at the Hôpital Edouard Herriot in Lyon, reported that from six ewes there had been four pregnancies which had...

Researchers Look to Imprinted Genes for Clues to Fetal Growth Restriction in Cloned Swine
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which results in low birth weight and long-term deleterious health effects in cloned swine, is linked to a type of gene - known as an imprinted gene - found only in placental mammals.

Bird flu claims critically endangered mammal
A far wider range of wildlife species could be at risk from bird flu, warns a biologist from the University of East Anglia. View More (2005-08-30)
Marsupial genome reveals insights into mammalian evolution
The genetic code of marsupials has now been documented for the first time. An international team led by Kathy Belov from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science published an analysis of the marsupial genome in the open access journal PLoS Biology. View More (2006-01-31)
Arctic marine mammals on thin ice
The loss of sea ice due to climate change could spell disaster for polar bears and other Arctic marine mammals. The April Special Issue of Ecological Applications examines such potential effects, puts them in historical context, and describes possible conservation measures to mitigate them.

Scientists Trace Evolutionary History of What Mammals Eat
The feeding habits of mammals haven't always been what they are today, particularly for omnivores. View More (2012-04-19)
Paleontologists discover new mammal from Mesozoic Era
An international team of American and Chinese paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 125 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era, in what is now the Hebei Province in China. View More (2007-03-15)
Tree-dwelling mammals climb to the heights of longevity
The squirrels littering your lawn with acorns as they bound overhead will live to plague your yard longer than the ones that aerate it with their burrows, according to a University of Illinois study. View More (2010-02-25)
Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails. This is of crucial importance because the gas has already been shown to play... View More (2002-02-18)
World's most extraordinary species mapped for the first time
Scientists pinpointed areas of the world where Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) mammals and amphibians occur. Regions containing the highest concentrations of these species are highlighted as global conservation priorities. View More (2013-05-16)
