Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in elephants
Age‐associated DNA‐methylation profiles have been used successfully to develop highly
accurate biomarkers of age (" epigenetic clocks") in humans, mice, dogs, and other species …

A review of mechanistic models of viral dynamics in bat reservoirs for zoonotic disease
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, a coronavirus with suspected bat origins, highlights a
critical need for heightened understanding of the mechanisms by which bats maintain …

DNA methylation networks underlying mammalian traits
Using DNA methylation profiles (n= 15,456) from 348 mammalian species, we constructed
phyloepigenetic trees that bear marked similarities to traditional phylogenetic ones. Using …

Epigenetic predictors of maximum lifespan and other life history traits in mammals
Maximum lifespan of a species is the oldest that individuals can survive, reflecting the
genetic limit of longevity in an ideal environment. Here we report methylation-based models …

Comparing age‐and bone‐related differences in collagen fiber orientation: A case study of bats and laboratory mice using quantitative polarized light microscopy
As bones age in most mammals, they typically become more fragile. This state of bone
fragility is often associated with more homogenous collagen fiber orientations (CFO). Unlike …

Penguins, falcons, and mountain lions: the extraordinary host diversity of vampire bats
Common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus), white-winged vampire bats (Diaemus youngi),
and hairy-legged vampire bats (Diphylla ecaudata) are the only obligate blood-feeding …

Mercury concentrations decline with age in the fur of females of an insectivorous terrestrial mammal (Myotis lucifugus)
AD Grottoli, HK Swanson, HG Broders - Science of The Total Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a toxic form of mercury that bioaccumulates in organisms and
biomagnifies through food webs. MeHg concentrations can be high in aquatic environments …
