Allometric and Phylogenetic Aspects of Stapes Morphology in Ruminantia (Mammalia, Artiodactyla)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The stapes is the smallest bone of the mammalian skeleton. Being the innermost middle ear ossicle, it is in contact with the inner ear and is directly responsible for sound transmission into it. Today, Ruminantia are one of the most diversified groups of

First record of White-Collared Peccary (Dicotyles Tajacu) with Piebaldism across its entire distribution

Mammalogy Notes
Coloration is crucial for mammalian adaptation, influencing predator defense and social behavior. In recent decades, chromatic anomalies have been documented in Neotropical mammals, including albinism, leucism, and piebaldism, affecting several species.

Reconsideración de la sistemática de Cervavitus (Cervidae, Artiodactyla, Mammalia) del Pleistoceno Inferior

Estudios Geologicos, 2011
La revisión sistemática de Cervivatus sugiere que deriva del principal clado de los cérvidos posteriores a los muntiacinos, e implica que Procervulinae, Dicrocerinae y la primeras formas de Munticiacinae serían holometacarpales, como también lo es ...

Habitat Loss in the IUCN Extent: Climate Change-Induced Threat on the Red Goral (Naemorhedus baileyi) in the Temperate Mountains of South Asia

Biology
Climate change has severely impacted many species, causing rapid declines or extinctions within their essential ecological niches. This deterioration is expected to worsen, particularly in remote high-altitude regions like the Himalayas, which are home ...

Dental functional morphology predicts the scaling of chewing rate in mammals [PDF]

, 2018
How food intake and mastication scale to satisfy the metabolic needs of mammals has been the subject of considerable scientific debate. Existing theory suggests that the negative allometric scaling of metabolic rate with body mass is compensated by a ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Extrahepatic biliary tract pathologies in mammalian species of zoo animals and wildlife: a review

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2020
Mammalian species express a broad variety in the shape of their extrahepatic biliary tract. While a gall bladder is present in many species, others are lacking this organ.
