Over thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, with gray wolves comprising the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguished... read more Rhino A rhinoceros, commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant ...
One of the smallest mammals in the world is the bumblebee bat that flies with tiny wings. The largest mammal, the blue whale, lives in the sea, and it is larger even than the dinosaurs. This section offers a wide variety of reading materials about all kinds of mammals. Read about the...
However, a major challenge in understanding the biology of milk oligosaccharides across other mammals is that reports span more than 5 decades of publications with varying data reporting methods. In the present study, publications on milk oligosaccharide profiles were identified and harmonized into a ...
Likelihood ratio tests (LRT) were then employed to compare the goodness of fit of the more complex models with their corresponding null models. We first used the two-rate branch model to test the strength and nature of selection along the foreground branches of interest. The two-rate model ...
Currently, there are many available methods to integrate phylogeny and extinction risk, with an ongoing debate on which may be best. However, the main constraint on employing any of these methods to establish conservation priorities is the lack of detailed species-level phylogenies. Afrotheria is ...
To address the last question we have maintained five treatments (4 - 0.56 ha replicates ea.) since 2008. These include control plots (C) with open access to all small mammals and predators, and four biotic treatments: i.e., predator exclusion plots with access to all small mammals (-P)...
Morpholinos with a five-base-pair mismatch were injected as a control for non-specific phenotypic effects; hsf4 5bpmm-MO (5′-TATtGAGgCTGGcTTCaCCTGgATG-3′; mismatched base pairs are indicated by lower case letters). Morpholino mismatch sequences were designed to be as similar as possible ...
Several physiological and morphological features distinguish this group of mammals from all others, e.g., a reproductive cycle characterized by a short gestation period and a long lactation, and a generalized, adult dental formula that includes five upper and four lower incisors, three upper/lower ...
Arrows indicate the lizard-sized model with the highest observed eccentricity. Letters correspond to the five different eccentricities that are modelled, whose model outlines are shown in red above the graphs. The red outlines are depicted at the same radius of curvature. Image created using ...
(C) EqMDEC CM was pre-treated with proteinase K. Significant differences are either depicted by asterisks: ****p < 0.0001, or by different letters. ns: not significant, n = 3. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Full size image In-depth “omics” ...
