Distribution of arginase in tissues of cat (Felis catus)
Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, 2007 Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1), the final enzyme in the urea cycle, catalyses the hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. High activity of this enzyme in the liver indicates its primary role in ammonia detoxification. However, its wide tissue distribution suggests that this enzyme might perform other functions besides hepatic ureagenesis.

Comparative Gene Mapping in the Domestic Cat (Felis catus) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 1997 The genetic map of the domestic cat has been developed as a model for studying both feline analogues of human genetic disease and comparative genome organization of mammals. We present here the results of syntenic mapping of 35 genes based upon concordant occurrence of feline gene homologues with feline chromosomes and previously mapped loci in a panel

Transmission of Cytauxzoon felis to domestic cats by Amblyomma americanum nymphs
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Successful Cytauxzoon felis transmission studies have occurred using Amblyomma americanum adults acquisition-fed as nymphs on an experimentally infected domestic cat or Dermacentor variabilis adults fed as nymphs on a splenectomized bobcat ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Mammals play vital roles in ecological communities, but many are in rapid decline worldwide. Comprehensive monitoring of mammal populations is crucial for effective conservation, but large‐scale monitoring presents significant challenges. Remote sensing techniques such as passive acoustic monitoring offer viable and effective solutions for ...

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023 Cats, Felis catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), were domesticated because of their role in rodent control around human settlements. Free‐roaming cats (henceforth, referred to as “cats”) can predate on a wide variety of small‐ to medium‐sized animals and ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We developed a set of innovative landscape resistance models to identify how climatic, topographic and vegetation variables influenced gene flow in the iconic Australian platypus across a 300 km2 urbanised landscape. Our research identified topographic wetness, rainfall and vegetation cover as consistently important for maintaining landscape‐scale gene
