Suidae, Tragulidae, Giraffidae, and Bovidae [PDF]

Geodiversitas, 2016
ABSTRACT The upper Miocene vertebrate locality of Kucukcekmece West, European Turkey, had provided an artiodactyl assemblage that is rich in species but poor in specimens. The present study allows revising previous artiodactyl lists provided for this site, by recognizing Hippopotamodon cf. antiquus, Dorcatherium maliki n. sp., Palaeotragus sp.

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Comparing Sediment and Water eDNA Metabarcoding for Monitoring Aquatic Biodiversity in a Plateau Lake

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Using multi‐locus eDNA metabarcoding of sediment and water samples collected from a plateau lake, this study systematically compared taxonomic diversity and community composition between the two sample types across the tree of life from archaea to mammals.

Winter diet of Korean long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus: natural foraging and post‐wildfire supplementary feeding revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Understanding the winter diets of endangered ungulates is critical for developing effective conservation strategies in temperate ecosystems, where seasonal fluctuations significantly affect food availability. The long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus, an herbivorous ungulate listed as a category I ‘Endangered species' (EN) under the Korean Wildlife ...

Caught on Camera: Insights Into Mizoram's Mammalian Diversity Through a Camera‐Trap‐Based Distance Sampling Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Mizoram's study revealed low ungulate densities and abundance, suggesting illegal hunting as a cause and entailing conservation urgency. ABSTRACT Assessing species distribution and associated threats is crucial for effective conservation. Many species including mammals face extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and illegal trade, with their ...

Behavioural phylogeny of Bovidae

, 2014
In this article, we examine the possible contribution of behavioural studies to the determination of phylogenetic relationships within the Bovidae. First, we revisit the general arguments concerning the use of behavioural traits as phylogenetic characters; then we present our first attempt at reconstructing the phylogeny of Bovidae based on behavioural

Genetic polymorphism of milk proteins in some Bos genus populations

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011
In cattle the analysis of the genetic polymorphism of milk proteins provides an effective tool both to characterize the genetic diversity and to improve the efficiency of selection for specific production traits.

Coexistence of five Ceropitifilaria species in the Japanese rupicarne Bovid, Capricornis Crispus

Parasite, 2001
The Japanese serow, Capricornis crispus (Bovidae, Caprinae, Rupicaprini), is parasitized by five Cercopithifilaria species:C. shohoi, recently described, and reexamined in this paper, C. multicaudan. sp., C. minutan. sp., C. tumidicervicata n. sp., and C.
