Factors Affecting Roadkills of Semi-Aquatic Mammals. [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2022
We previously showed that registration efforts and traffic intensity explain 90% of variation in mammal roadkill numbers, 70% of variation in the numbers of recorded species and 40% of diversity variation.

Microstructural differences in the osteochondral unit of terrestrial and aquatic mammals. [PDF]

Elife, 2023
During evolution, animals have returned from land to water, adapting with morphological modifications to life in an aquatic environment. We compared the osteochondral units of the humeral head of marine and terrestrial mammals across species spanning a ...

Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in Aquatic Mammals, Amazon Basin, Brazil. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 2022
Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. (hemoplasmas) are uncultivable bacteria that infect mammals, including humans. We detected a potentially novel hemoplasma species in blood samples from wild river dolphins in the Amazon River Basin, Brazil.

Evolutionary analysis of genes associated with the sense of balance in semi-aquatic mammals. [PDF]

BMC Ecol Evol
Background Semi-aquatic mammals represent a transitional phase in the evolutionary spectrum between terrestrial and aquatic mammals. The sense of balance is crucial for mammalian locomotion, and in semi-aquatic mammals, the structural foundation of this ...

Phylogenetic allometric scaling of near basal breathing frequency in terrestrial, semi-aquatic and aquatic mammals. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
We measured the BASAL breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non‐pregnant/non‐lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg.

Regiospecific analysis of lipidome in the brain from mammals of land and aquatic habitats-by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Heliyon, 2023
The brain is a complex organ demonstrated by the occurrence of specific types of functional lipids. Despite some studies focusing on providing the animal brain lipid signature, there are limited studies focusing on the comprehensive and regiospecific ...
