Biological functions of fucose in mammals. [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2017 Fucose is a 6-deoxy hexose in the l-configuration found in a large variety of different organisms. In mammals, fucose is incorporated into N-glycans, O-glycans and glycolipids by 13 fucosyltransferases, all of which utilize the nucleotide-charged form ...

Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals
Nature, 2021 The rates and patterns of somatic mutation in normal tissues are largely unknown outside of humans1–7. Comparative analyses can shed light on the diversity of mutagenesis across species, and on long-standing hypotheses about the evolution of somatic ...

Tusk anomalies in narwhals (Monodon monoceros) from Greenland
Polar Research, 2022 The elongated, spiraled tusk of male narwhals (Monodon monoceros) grows continuously throughout the life of the whale and is most likely a secondary sexual trait used in male–male hierarchical competition and possibly in female mate choice.

Pangolins in eastern Nepal: trade and ethno-medicinal importance
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2015 Pangolin populations are declining globally due to illicit trade for meat and ethno-medicinal practices. We performed semi-structured interviews to analyze scenario of trade activities and documented the ethno-medicinal importance of pangolins in four ...
