The paper investigates factors driving microbial strain sharing across host species, finding host phylogeny, not environment, is the primary driver, with implications for microbial dispersal constraints across mammals.

The paper summarizes the distribution and historical sampling of small mammals across the Madrean Sky Islands, highlighting gaps in data and the need for improved specimen preservation and future fieldwork.

The paper surveys small mammal diversity in the Santa Catalina Mountains, documenting 15 species and extending the known elevational range for 8 species.

This paper systematically reviews the prevalence and spatial distribution of viruses in the Peromyscus maniculatus species complex, highlighting geographic sampling gaps and the impact of recent taxonomic changes on hantavirus observations.

The paper updates the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD2) to include 6,759 mammal species, showing increases in species counts and identifying trends in taxonomic and geographic knowledge over time.
