The genome sequence of Dermanura phaeotis (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae; Miller, 1902)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Dermanura phaeotis (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae). The genome sequence is 2.2 Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y sex chromosomes assemb...

Diverse Early Pleistocene ground squirrels from northeastern Nebraska including a new genus and species

Abstract Ground squirrels (Rodentia, Sciuridae, Xerinae, Marmotini) diversified on the central Great Plains of North America during the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene, likely associated with the emplacement of modern-type grasslands. This diversity of Pliocene–Early Pleistocene g...

Emerging innovations in movement ecology to address planetary challenges

Abstract Movement ecology—the study of how and why animals move within their environments—stands to offer transformative insights into our rapidly changing world, with benefits for both nature and people. Here, we present the first global horizon scan for movement ecology, engagi...
