Mitochondrial phylogeny of hedgehogs and monophyly of Eulipotyphla

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2003
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of three insectivores: the long-eared hedgehog Hemiechinus auritus, the Japanese mole Mogera wogura, and the greater Japanese shrew-mole Urotrichus talpoides. These mtDNA data together with other previously sequenced mtDNAs were analyzed using a maximum likelihood method to infer their phylogenetic ...

Replication timing of large Sorex granarius (Soricidae, Eulipotyphla) telomeres

Protoplasma, 2018
Previously, we described the unique feature of telomeric regions in Iberian shrew Sorex granarius: its telomeres have two ranges of size, very small (3.8 kb of telomeric repeats on average) and very large discontinuous telomeres (213 kb) interrupted with 18S rDNA. In this study, we have demonstrated extraordinary replication pattern of S.

An annotated checklist of the insectivores (Mammalia, Eulipotyphla) of Laos

Zootaxa, 2021
An annotated checklist of the insectivorous mammals (order Eulipotyphla) of Laos is presented for the first time. The checklist is based on an extensive literature review and an examination of available museum specimens from world collections. Confirmed fauna of eulipotyphlans includes 11 species from 7 genera and 3 families.

Fluctuating fine‐scale spatial genetic structure in the common shrews (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia)

Integrative Zoology, 2022
AbstractThe spatial genetic structure is a topical issue in the studies of various aspects of ecology and evolution. Using the multilocus autocorrelation method with hypervariable microsatellite genetic markers, we investigated a fine‐scale pattern of genetic structure in 5 local populations of the common shrewSorex araneusseparated by distances of 300–

Behavioural Responses and Feeding Preference of Hemiechinus Collaris ( Eulipotyphla: Erinaceidae)

University of Sindh Journal of Animal Sciences (USJAS), 2022
The behavioral aspects of Hedgehog (Hemiechinus collaris) kept in Nocturnal Captive, Nocturnal free range, diurnal captive, and diurnal free-range conditions were recorded and compared with each other. The behavior aspects such as Jumping, aggressiveness, digging, stress, rolling up, immovability, walking, standing, drinking, lying and feeding were ...

Fleas (Siphonaptera) of Eulipotyphla in the Caucasus

Entomological Review
Species of the order Eulipotyphla are important components of terrestrial ecosystems. These are active consumers of small animals, primarily arthropods, the main carriers of infectious diseases in a number of natural foci of tularemia, hanoviruses, and leptospirosis They may be infected with the causative agent of the plague. Arthropods that parasitize

The Fossil Record of Insectivores (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla) in Greece

2021
Insectivores (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla) are today a rather successful mammalian order, living almost worldwide in a large variety of habitats. The present chapter focuses on the review of the fossil record of Eulipotyphla in Greece, which starts in the late Oligocene.

The Placentation of Eulipotyphla—Reconstructing a Morphotype of the Mammalian Placenta

Journal of Morphology, 2014
ABSTRACTPlacentation determines the developmental status of the neonate, which can be considered as the most vulnerable stage in the mammalian life cycle. In this respect, the different evolutionary and ecological adaptations of marsupial and placental mammals have most likely been associated with the different reproductive strategies of the two ...

Hedgehogs, shrews, moles, and solenodons (Eulipotyphla)

2009
Abstract Hedgehogs, shrews (Fig. 1), moles, and solenodons form a single, natural group of small mammals, the Order Eulipotyphla. the452 currently recognized species (1) belong to four living families: Erinaceidae (hedgehogs; two subfamilies, 10 genera, and 24 species), Soricidae (shrews; three subfamilies, 26 genera, and 376 species ...

Telomeric DNA allocation in chromosomes of common shrew (Sorex araneus, eulipotyphla)

Cell and Tissue Biology, 2009
Recently we have displayed shrew species, Iberian shrew S. granarius, with telomeres of unusual for mammals structure, including long telomeres on the short acrocentrics arms containing 213 kb on average and short telomeres (3.8 kb) on the other chromosomal ends (Zhdanova et al., 2005, 2007).
