Philosophical Psychology, 2006
Many traditional attempts to show that nonhuman animals are deserving of moral consideration have taken the form of an argument by analogy. However, arguments of this kind have had notable weaknesses and, in particular, have not been able to convince two kinds of skeptics.

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1977
This review considers the behavioral, ecological, and reproductive characteristics of mammals exhibiting monogamy, i.e., mating exclusivity. From a discussion of the life histories of selected species of monogamous primates, carnivores, rodents and ungulates, several trends emerge. Two forms of monogamy occur, Type I, facultative, and Type II, obligate.

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1992
It is not widely appreciated that mammals can be venomous in the manner of snakes and lizards. However, it was first demonstrated scientifically 50 years ago in the case of the American short-tailed shrew. Subsequently, similar evidence has been obtained from European shrews and the Haitian solenodon, but research in this area has been almost ...

Mammals, big mammals and statistics
LutraThe title of this editorial may look oddly familiar. That’s because it riffs on the famous phrase “lies, damned lies and statistics,” a quote of slightly uncertain origin (Mark Twain is one of the options, as seems frequently the case). It’s often used to describe the persuasive power of statistics to bolster a weak argument.

Comprehensive Physiology, 2011
Abstract The ability of diving mammals to forage at depth on a breath hold of air is dependent on gas exchange, both in the lung and in peripheral tissues. Anatomical and physiological adaptations in the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, blood and peripheral tissues contribute to the remarkable breath ...

Russian Journal of Developmental Biology, 2001
A review of the development of the method of nuclear transplantation and cloning of animals with the use of nuclei of embryonic and adult cells is presented. We also present the results of studies of nuclear remodeling and reprogramming in the reconstructed oocyte and of cytoplasmic factors that control these processes.

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1948
By considering the general energy balance between the energy of muscular contraction in the extremities, kinetic energy imparted to the animal and the energy lost in the lifting of the center of gravity and in the possible muscular viscosity, an expression is derived for the speed of an animal in terms of the constant which determine its shape and ...

Genetica, 1959
Eighteen new cases of colour mosaics are described. Previous reports of mosaics are collocated and briefly discussed. Various mechanisms are described which may engender three types of mosaicism. These are the (1) somatic, (2) the soma-gonadic and (3) the gonadic.
