Challenges of Introgression in Conservation: Genetic Diversity of the Endangered Wild Camel (Camelus ferus) in Mongolia. [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The endangered Wild Camel (Camelus ferus Mongolian: хавтгай, khavtgai; Chinese: 野骆驼, ye luo tuo) is the only extant wild species of the Camelini tribe. Surviving only in remote areas of the Gobi deserts of Mongolia and China, this species is threatened ...

Genetic diversity assessment of Camelus ferus based on CYTB gene and D-loop region. [PDF]

BMC Zoology
Background The wild camel (Camelus ferus) is a globally endangered species, and China has the largest number of wild camels. To determine the current level of genetic diversity of wild camels in various protected areas in China, we collected 30 samples ...

In Silico Analysis of Temperature-Induced Structural, Stability, and Flexibility Modulations in Camel Cytochrome c [PDF]

Animals
Cytochrome c is a critical protein in energy metabolism, and its structural adaptations to different temperatures play a key role in enabling species like the wild Bactrian camel (Camelus ferus) and the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) to thrive in ...

First Documented Camelus knoblochi Nehring (1901) and Fossil Camelus ferus Przewalski (1878) From Late Pleistocene Archaeological Contexts in Mongolia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Throughout the arid lands of Africa and Eurasia, camelids facilitated the expansion of human populations into areas that would not likely have been habitable without the transportation abilities of this animal along with the organic resources it provides,

Refining the Camelus dromedarius Myostatin Gene Polymorphism through Worldwide Whole-Genome Sequencing [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Myostatin (MSTN) is a highly conserved negative regulator of skeletal muscle in mammals. Inactivating mutations results in a hyper-muscularity phenotype known as “double muscling” in several livestock and model species.

Spatial Patterns of Global Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus and Its Potential Risk Assessment for Various Wildlife Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study found that according to the analysis of PPR epidemic data from 2007 to 2024, the driving mechanism of key climatic and environmental factors such as temperature seasonality (standard deviation × 100) (Bio4), annual mean temperature (Bio1), isothermality (Bio3), mean diurnal range (Bio2), mean monthly precipitation in March (Prec3), and the ...

Optimizing Cattle, Yak, Camel, and Horse Meat Processing: Species-Sex Physicochemical Drivers. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Species primarily determines the nutritional and processing traits of cattle, yak, camel, and horse meats; yak stands out for superior nutrition (high protein/EAA/MUFAs) but requires tenderization, while horse offers greater tenderness but has a darker color and low water‐holding capacity.

Comparative analysis of transposable elements provides insights into genome evolution in the genus Camelus [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Transposable elements (TEs) are common features in eukaryotic genomes that are known to affect genome evolution critically and to play roles in gene regulation.

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential. [PDF]

Chembiochem
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and
