Original research – Published work – Field-based insights
From research to publication
Hedgehog research publications and insights presented here are based on original work and field observations.
These publications reflect ongoing research into behavior, habitat use and species characteristics. They are developed through observation, data collection and analysis.
Each publication contributes to a deeper understanding of hedgehogs and related species. They support both scientific knowledge and practical application.
All listed work has been created or contributed to directly. This ensures consistency, reliability and relevance.
Highlighted publications
Wild type color in Atelerix albiventris
A paper that describes the process of pairing African pygmy hedgehogs to find the wild type color of this species, including examples or made pairings and outcomes. Including the genetic alleles suitable for genetic calculations using the Punnett Square. Usable for breeders of the species that have the species as exotic pets.
Published in: 2017, Academia.edu
Piebald in Atelerix albiventris
A paper about the finding of pairing different African pygmy hedgehogs with the variation ‘Pinto’ and the findings and conclusion of it being related to Piebald variations in other small mammals. Including the genetic alleles usable for the Punnett Square in genetic calculation for breeders of the species.
