Variability of major histocompatibility complex class II genes in the golden jackals (Canis aureus) from Israel [PDF]
, 2015 Geni glavnog sustava tkivne podudarnosti (MHC) ključna su komponenta imunološkog sustava kod sisavaca te su i važan molekularni marker adaptivne genetičke raznolikosti u divljim populacijama životinja. Veća raznolikost MHC gena unutar populacije povećava

Covariation in the Craniocervical Junction of Carnivora
Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.The craniocervical junction in mammals is a biomechanically unique region that involves the occiput and two specialized vertebrae: the ring‐shaped atlas (CV1) and the axis (CV2) with its peculiar odontoid process (Dens). In Carnivora, the present study indicates that quantitative variation in CV1 morphology reflects a functional signal, while CV2 ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Extant giant pandas are among the most herbivorous forms of the order Carnivora, feeding mainly on hard plant material. The first steps of their evolutionary lineage are of particular interest for our understanding of the factors that led to this specialized niche.

Anatomy and morphology adaptation of sea mammals [PDF]
, 2010 Morski sisavci uključuju dvije brojne i široke grupe, Cetacea (kitovi) i Pinnipedia (tuljani, morski lavovi i morževi), te manje brojnu grupu Sirenia. Svaka grupa morskih sisavaca je evoluirala od pretka na kopnu te se sekundarno vratila životu u vodi ...

Biogeography and taxonomy of extinct and endangered monk seals illuminated by ancient DNA and skull morphology [PDF]
, 2014 Extinctions and declines of large marine vertebrates have major ecological impacts and are of critical concern in marine environments. The Caribbean monk seal, Monachus tropicalis, last definitively reported in 1952, was one of the few marine mammal ...

Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 4, July/August 2024.Abstract Mammals exhibit ecology‐related diversity in long bone morphology, revealing an ample spectrum of adaptations both within and between clades. Their occupation of unique ecological niches in postcranial morphology is thought to have occurred at different chronological phases in relation to abiotic factors such as climate and biotic interactions
