Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

RFRP3 influences basal lamina degradation, cellular death, and progesterone secretion in cultured preantral ovarian follicles from the domestic cat. [PDF]
, 2019 The hypothalamic neuropeptide RFRP3 can suppress hypothalamic GnRH neuron activation and inhibit gonadotropin release from the anterior pituitary. RFRP3 is also produced locally in the ovary and can inhibit steroidogenesis and follicle development in ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract 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. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi‐aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals.

Boselaphus Tragocamelus (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2008 Abstract Boselaphus tragocamelus (Pallas, 1766) is a bovid commonly called the nilgai or blue bull and is Asia's largest antelope. A sexually dimorphic ungulate of large stature and unique coloration, it is the only species in the genus Boselaphus.

Ultra-High-Sulphur Proteins in the Hairs of the Artiodactyla [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1972 Wool follicles are potentially able to synthesize specific high.sulphur proteins in which about 30% of the amino acid residues are half-cystine (Gillespie and Reis 1966). The amount of these proteins incorporated into the fibre is related to the availability of sulphur-containing amino acids for metabolism in the sheep.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) shares a common terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, the understanding of the conduction system and electrical ...

Accounting for intraspecific variation transforms our understanding of artiodactyl social evolution [PDF]
, 2018 A major goal in the study of mammalian social systems has been to explain evolutionary transitions in social traits. Recent comparative analyses have used phylogenetic reconstructions to determine the evolution of social traits but have omitted ...

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 54, Issue 4, July 2025.ABSTRACT The tympanic bulla of South American camelids is a unique multi‐compartmental structure with an internal architecture resembling that of honeycomb. This unique configuration creates surgical challenges for the treatment of refractory otitis media cases in llamas (Lama glama).

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...
