Relationships of Cetacea (Artiodactyla) Among Mammals: Increased Taxon Sampling Alters Interpretations of Key Fossils and Character Evolution

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundIntegration of diverse data (molecules, fossils) provides the most robust test of the phylogeny of cetaceans. Positioning key fossils is critical for reconstructing the character change from life on land to life in the water.Methodology ...

Preputial Glands in Artiodactyla [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 1996
We examined histologically the prepuces from 10 species of Artiodactyla for the presence of preputial glands. The species investigated included the fallow deer ( Dama dama ), sika deer ( Cervus nippon ), axis deer ( Axis axis ), hog deer ( A. porcinus ), muntjac ( Muntiacus muntjak ), Chinese water deer ( Hydropotes inermis ), roe deer ( Capreolus ...

Limb bone scaling in hopping macropods and quadrupedal artiodactyls [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Bone adaptation is modulated by the timing, direction, rate and magnitude of mechanical loads. To investigate whether frequent slow, or infrequent fast, gaits could dominate bone adaptation to load, we compared scaling of the limb bones from two ...

Within-group spatial position in Saiga tatarica (Bovidae) in the Stepnoi State Nature Sanctuary, Astrakhan Region, Russia

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023
In group-living animals, the social structure and organisation play a significant role in survival and reproduction. Understanding the social aspects of animal lives in the wild may be crucially important for effective conservation of threatened species.

Cranial arterial patterns of the alpaca (Camelidae: Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Artiodactyl cranial arterial patterns deviate significantly from the standard mammalian pattern, most notably in the possession of a structure called the carotid rete (CR)—a subdural arterial meshwork that is housed within the cavernous venous sinus ...

High-Altitude Drives the Convergent Evolution of Alpha Diversity and Indicator Microbiota in the Gut Microbiomes of Ungulates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Convergent evolution is an important sector of evolutionary biology. High-altitude environments are one of the extreme environments for animals, especially in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, driving the inquiry of whether, under broader phylogeny, high ...
