Helminth Fauna in Captive European Gray Wolves (Canis lupus lupus) in Germany
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Captive as well as free-ranging wolves, which are currently recolonizing Germany, may harbor a variety of gastrointestinal parasites. This study investigated endoparasites in captive European gray wolves (Canis lupus lupus) using coproscopical methods ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

, 2009 Wolf, Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758 Fig. 2 This is the last carnivore of large dimensions still dispersed in the region, albeit seriously threatened with extinction (cf. Shalmon 2004). In the course of this study two stuffed specimens were observed in the collection of the Palmyra Archaeological Museum; according to the manager of the museum, Ali ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

Tracking cats revisited: Placing terrestrial mammalian carnivores on δ2H and δ18O isoscapes.
PLoS ONE, 2019 The relationship between hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopic compositions in environmental water and hair was investigated for both domestic cats (Felis catus) and dogs (Canis lupus familiaris).

DNA fingerprints of captive wolves (Canis lupus) [PDF]
Hereditas, 2008 offspring) are available in terms of, e.g., radionu- clides (WOLFF and HOLLEMAN 1978; SHERIDAN and TAMARIN 1986), protein electrophoresis (SCHWARTZ et al. 1989), and DNA fingerprinting (JEFFREYS et al. 1985a,b, 1987; WETTON et al. 1987), effective methods for assessment of related- ness beyond that of first order relatives without any further ...
