The Structure of the Brachial Plexus in Selected Representatives of the Caniformia Suborder [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Like most structures, the brachial plexus is subject to species variation. Analysing this structure over a wide spectrum of species, we can obtain a complex view of the changes–in a given group of animals.

Macroecological evidence for competitive regional-scale interactions between the two major clades of mammal carnivores (Feliformia and Caniformia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Geographical gradients in species diversity are often explained by environmental factors such as climate and productivity. Biotic interactions play a key role in evolutionary diversification and may therefore also affect diversity patterns, but this has ...

Specific Gene Duplication and Loss of Cytochrome P450 in Families 1-3 in Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria) [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Cytochrome P450s are among the most important xenobiotic metabolism enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of a wide range of chemicals. Through duplication and loss events, CYPs have created their original feature of detoxification in each mammal.

Ancient origin of the furin sequence in the wolf F8 gene [PDF]
Open Veterinary JournalBackground: Our previous characterization of canine coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) in the naturally occurring hemophilia A (HA) dog models provided insight into the evolution of the FVIII protein. We noted a unique sequence (H1645) in the R-X-X-R furin-
