Genomic Characteristics and Selection Signatures in Indigenous Chongming White Goat (Capra hircus)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
The Chongming white goat (CM) is an indigenous goat breed exhibits unique traits that are adapted to the local environment and artificial selection. By performing whole-genome re-sequencing, we generated 14–20× coverage sequences from 10 domestic goat ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Polymorphism of αS1-casein in goat milk: identification of A, B, E and F variants by biochemical and genetic analysis

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011
Many researches, related to genetic polymorphism of αS1-casein in goat milk, showed a marked variability and implications in milk and dairy product traits.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Sister Chromatid Exchange in the Goat (Capra Hircus) [PDF]

Hereditas, 2004
Lymphocyte cells from 30 Maltese and Syrian derivative goats (13 males and 17 females) reared in southern Italy underwent sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test. For the 902 cells we studied, the SCE-mean values were 6.6 +/- 3.0 per cell for both breeds. The SCE-frequency did not follow a Poisson distribution. The simultaneous visualization of SCEs and G-
