Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The molecules encoded by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play an essential role in the adaptive immune response among vertebrates. We investigated the molecular evolution of MHC class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina. We isolated 26 MHC

A new basal caniform (Mammalia: Carnivora) from the middle Eocene of North America and remarks on the phylogeny of early carnivorans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Despite a long history of research, the phylogenetic origin and initial diversification of the mammalian crown-group Carnivora remain elusive. Well-preserved fossil materials of basal carnivorans are essential for resolving these issues, and for ...

Mutation pressure mediates a pattern of substitution rates with latitude and climate in carnivores. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study revealed a robust correlation between substitution rates and latitudinal gradients, rather than adaptation‐related parameters. And the results suggest that nonadaptive forces (mutation pressure) have a more widespread impact on mitochondrial genes compared to adaptive forces. Abstract The evolutionary patterns of the mitochondrial genome are

Feliform carnivores have a distinguished constitutive innate immune response
Biology Open, 2016 Determining the immunological phenotype of endangered and threatened populations is important to identify those vulnerable to novel pathogens. Among mammals, members of the order Carnivora are particularly threatened by diseases.

Use of a Sendai virus-based vector for effcient transduction of pinniped fbroblasts
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells expanded possibilities of pluripotency and early development studies. Generation of order Carnivora iPS cells from dog (Canis lupus familiaris), snow leopard (Panthera uncia), and American mink (Neovison

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background CD163 is a scavenger receptor predominantly expressed on the surfaces of macrophages in various mammalian species and is a marker of anti‐inflammatory (M2‐like) macrophages. High density of CD163‐positive tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with worse prognosis in various patient tumors.

Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3007-3021, November 2025.Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...
