The study of intermediate types becomes of more and more im-portance in proportion as one knows more of the organization of the creatures constituting the great primary groups of the animal kingdom. The number of these types, formerly very limited, becomes every day greater as the means of ...

Consistent individual differences in behavior [i.e., behavioral types (BTs)], are common across the animal kingdom. Consistency can make behavior an adaptive trait for mate choice decisions. Here, we present a conceptual framework to explain how and why females might evaluate a male’s BT befo...
Trailblazer of the animal kingdom: the sea otter Sea otters have some of the thickest fur in the animal kingdom, keeping them protected from their strongest adversaries: cold and water. Like thick-skinned Trailblazers, sea otters are therefore worry free, leaving them plenty of time for ...
we're still able to meet animals that are totally new to us. 2024 was a fantastic year for new discoveries in the animal kingdom, and you can keep reading on to see 13 of the most striking of them. This baker's dozen of new species run the gamut, from frogs named in homage to ...
aIndeed, if the patterns seen in vertebrates are representative, they suggest that convergent evolution should be far more prevalent across the animal kingdom than is currently known, as vertebrates comprise only about 5 per cent of all animal diversity. 的确,如果在脊椎动物看的样式是代表性的,他们...
SCC evaluations will be implemented by the Animal Data Centre. Reliabilities will be lower than production because of the lower h2 for SCC and the lower progeny group size since only 0·80 of recorded cows have SCC records. 展开 关键词: dairy cattle genetic parameters production somatic cell ...
Recent progress in genome research and sequence analyses has established that g-type lysozymes are as commonly distributed as chicken (c-) type lysozymes in the animal kingdom13–15. Lysozymes or muramidases, play an important role in the innate immune system and catalyse the hydrolysis ...
The phylum Mollusca is one of the largest and most important group in the animal kingdom. Recently, interest in molluscan immunity has increased due to their importance in worldwide aquaculture, their role in aquatic environmental science and their phylogenetic position, and a great number of ...
but not those of domestic sheep. TheHOXagene family, consisting of six genes (HOXA2,HOXA3,HOXA4,HOXA6,HOXA9andHOXA10) and possibly important for EAS adaptation, are located on OAR4. TheHOXAgene cluster or homeobox A is a group of conserved genes throughout the animal kingdom that encode...
