Microscopic and Molecular Identification of Sarcocystis Species in Wild Brown Rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Lithuania and Latvia [PDF]
AnimalsSarcocystis is a genus of heteroxenous, globally distributed apicomplexan parasites found in reptiles, birds, and mammals. Typically, sarcocysts develop in muscles of intermediate hosts, and oocysts sporulate in intestines of definitive hosts.

FGF gene family characterization provides insights into its adaptive evolution in Carnivora
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) encoded by the FGF gene family can regulate development and physiology in animals. However, their evolutionary characteristics in Carnivora are largely unknown. In this study, we identified 660 sequences of three types of

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 ...
