Prevalence of chromosome anomalies in a deer farm with fertility decline in Malaysia

Future Science OA, 2020
Background: A number of factors are known to reduce fertility rate in animals and one of the important categories of such factors is chromosome anomalies. They can occur with or without causing phenotypic abnormalities on animals; in some cases, they may

High‐Titanium Zircon Rims in Rhyolite – A Reflection of Adiabatic Ascent?

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The ascent of granitic magma from source to emplacement is rapidly achieved through dyking, resulting in negligible heat loss to the surrounding wallrock (i.e., adiabatic). Zircon growth during ascent can record the changing magma conditions including adiabatic cooling and heating, resulting in high titanium rims on low titanium cores without ...

Effect of Body Configuration on Perturbation Resistance Across Arboreal Lizard Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animals that inhabit high‐risk habitats often exhibit morphological and behavioral adaptations to contend with environmental challenges. In arboreal (tree‐based) habitats, such adaptations can include corrective behaviors, such as modification of body‐limb angles, to avoid dislodgement by perturbations.

Accommodation of Dental Variations During Jaw Growth in Ungulate Mammals

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Using geometric morphometrics, we compared the covariation pattern of the dentition and the palate during growth in 23 ungulate species. ABSTRACT The growth of teeth and jaw bones is intimately linked in vertebrates, especially in mammals due to their specialized dentition and limited body growth.

A Plague of Deer [PDF]

BioScience, 2006
Abstract Unchecked deer populations are causing a decline in forest diversity. Overbrowsing by deer leaves only the few plant species deer can't digest as survivors. Managing deer populations through revised hunting practices, however, meets strong resistance.

The musk chemical composition and microbiota of Chinese forest musk deer males

Scientific Reports, 2016
Male musk deer secrete musk from the musk gland located between their naval and genitals. Unmated male forest musk deer generate a greater amount of musk than mated males, potentially allowing them to attract a greater number of females.

Driving Triple‐Bottom‐Line Value: Networks and Impacts in South Africa's Emerging Game Meat Industry

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current game meat industry value chain analysis focuses primarily on individual firm analysis, production costs and mapping of illegal and legal game meat trade routes. Although there is an attempt to demonstrate the sector's potential contribution to conservation, food security, and livelihood improvement, it remains unclear how the ...
