Listriodon dukkar sp. nov. (Suidae, Artiodactyla, Mammalia) from the late Miocene of Pasuda (Gujarat, India): the decline and extinction of the Listriodontinae

open access: yesPalZ, 2022
The Listriodontinae were a common and widespread group of Suidae (pigs) that lived in an area extending from Portugal to China and to southern Africa. Here, we describe the new species Listriodon dukkar from Pasuda (Gujarat, India).

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

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

Available names for Rangifer (Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Cervidae) species and subspecies

open access: yesZooKeys, 2022
Abstract Advancements in molecular and phylogenetic analysis have revealed the need for greater taxonomic resolution since Rangifer (Reindeer and caribou: Cervidae) was last revised in 1961.

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

open access: yesNature 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.

Revalidation of Mazama rufa (Illiger 1815) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) as a Distinct Species out of the Complex Mazama americana (Erxleben 1777)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The red brocket deer Mazama americana Erxleben, 1777 is considered a polyphyletic complex of cryptic species with wide chromosomal divergence. Evidence indicates that the observed chromosomal divergences result in reproductive isolation.

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

open access: yesRoyal 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Approach of molecular technique to identify Artiodactyls based on mitochondrial D-loop polymorphism [PDF]

open access: yesمجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2015
In recent year species of Artiodactyla have suffered rather decrease in populations as result of poaching. In many cases detecting the organs and tissues obtained from arrested poachers is not possible visually therefore it makes difficult to affirm the ...

Geometric morphometrics of mandibles for dietary differentiation of Bovidae (Mammalia: Artiodactyla)

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2021
The mammalian family Bovidae has been widely studied in ecomorphological research, with important applications to paleoecological and paleohabitat reconstructions.

Genomic representation predicts an asymptotic host adaptation of bat coronaviruses using deep learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionCoronaviruses (CoVs) are naturally found in bats and can occasionally cause infection and transmission in humans and other mammals. Our study aimed to build a deep learning (DL) method to predict the adaptation of bat CoVs to other mammals ...
