Mitochondrial control region genetic diversity and maternal ancestry of a Brangus-Ibage cattle populations

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
The genetic diversity of 277 nucleotides in the mitochondrial DNA control region (nt 15,964 to 16,240 in reference sequence) was analyzed in crossbreed beef cattle (Brangus-Ibage, 5/8 Bos primigenius taurus x 3/8 Bos primigenius indicus) as well as in ...

Biometria testicular de touros Nelore (Bos taurus indicus) e touros cruzados Nelore-europeu (Bos taurus indicus x Bos taurus taurus) aos 20 e 24 meses de idade

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science, 2002
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar os efeitos da idade, do grupo genetico e da interacao entre idade e grupo genetico, sobre as biometrias testiculares (circunferencia escrotal e consistencia testicular) Foram avaliados, aos 20 e 24 meses de idade, 190 touros Nelore e 447 touros cruzados Nelore-europeu. Aos 24 meses os exames foram repetidos.

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...
