Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Microbial diversity composition of apple tree roots and resistance of apple Valsa canker with different grafting rootstock types

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background The composition and diversity of root microbial community are affected by plant genotypes and soil environment, which in turn affect plant growth and development.

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Control of fruit tree vigor induced by dwarfing rootstocks

, 2018
Grafting of fruit trees has been practiced for more than two millennia, and dwarfing rootstocks have been used to control scion vigor for several centuries.

SOX6 is expressed in various cell lineages in the developing mouse heart and contributes to proper valvuloseptal development

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cells derived from the endocardium, epicardium, cardiac neural crest, and second heart field play a critical role in the formation of the valvuloseptal structures of the heart. Previous studies have shown that the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 in these cell populations is essential in the regulation of this process.

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Dwarfing and Freeze Hardiness Potential of Trifoliate Orange Rootstocks [PDF]

, 2004
While Flying Dragon has shown some promise as a freeze hardy and dwarfing rootstock, questions often arise about its rootstock genetics, rootstock/scion interactions, and cultural practices that can affect tree size. Accordingly, the purpose of this fact

Dwarfing genes, water-use efficiency and agronomic performance of spring wheat

, 1996
The Rht1 and Rht2 dwarfing genes have been used extensively to reduce height in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The Rht3 gene is also a potent dwarfing gene.
