Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A recent comparison of the most prevalent methods for measuring fascicles, in situ measurement versus chemical digestion, concluded that the measurements are indistinguishable based on data from different conspecific individuals. However, our study of contralateral muscles of the same individuals shows that the methods clearly result in statistically ...

Descriptive, stratigraphic, and morpho‐functional study of the myocardium and myocardial bridges in domestic pig hearts

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The heart is the central organ of the cardiovascular system. The myocardium is composed of a three‐dimensional network of fibers arranged in clockwise and counterclockwise helices, which are essential for proper cardiac contraction. This study aimed to describe the stratigraphic and morpho‐functional pattern of the porcine myocardium to ...

Temporal activity patterns suggesting niche partitioning of sympatric carnivores in Borneo, Malaysia

Scientific Reports, 2021
To propose proper conservation measures and to elucidate coexistence mechanisms of sympatric carnivore species, we assessed temporal activity patterns of the sympatric carnivore species using 37,379 photos collected for more than 3 years at three study ...

Comparative Immobilization of Wild Felids in Thailand [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2004
We immobilized individuals of four free-ranging felid species, leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), Asiatic golden cat (Catopuma temminckii), and marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) with ketamine hydrochloride and xylazine hydrochloride (KH-XH) and with tiletamine hydrochloride and zolazepam hydrochloride (TH-ZH ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Spatio-temporal ecology of sympatric felids on Borneo. Evidence for resource partitioning? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Niche differentiation, the partitioning of resources along one or more axes of a species' niche hyper-volume, is widely recognised as an important mechanism for sympatric species to reduce interspecific competition and predation risk, and thus facilitate

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

Presencia y abundancia relativa de carnívoros en una selva dañada por el huracán Dean (2007) Occurrence and relative abundance of carnivores in a tropical forest impacted by Hurricane Dean (2007)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
Los huracanes son disturbios comunes en el Caribe, pero se desconocen sus efectos sobre los carnívoros. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la presencia y la abundancia relativa de los carnívoros respecto al daño en la vegetación debido al paso del ...
