Genetic individualization of sable (Martes zibellina L. 1758) using microsatellites [PDF]

Animal Cells and Systems, 2018
Genetic individualization based on non-invasive sampling is crucial for estimating the numbers of individuals in endangered mammalian populations. In sable (Martes zibellina)-poaching cases, identifying the number of animals involved is critical for ...

Harnessing the strategy of metagenomics for exploring the intestinal microecology of sable (Martes zibellina), the national first-level protected animal [PDF]

AMB Express, 2020
Sable (Martes zibellina), a member of family Mustelidae, order Carnivora, is primarily distributed in the cold northern zone of Eurasia. The purpose of this study was to explore the intestinal flora of the sable by metagenomic library-based techniques ...

Habitat Elevation Shapes Microbial Community Composition and Alter the Metabolic Functions in Wild Sable (Martes zibellina) Guts [PDF]

Animals, 2021
In recent decades, wild sable (Carnivora Mustelidae Martes zibellina) habitats, which are often natural forests, have been squeezed by anthropogenic disturbances such as clear-cutting, tilling and grazing.

Evolution of major histocompatibility complex class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina (Carnivora, Mustelidae) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The molecules encoded by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play an essential role in the adaptive immune response among vertebrates. We investigated the molecular evolution of MHC class I genes in the sable Martes zibellina. We isolated 26 MHC

First Draft Genome of the Sable, Martes zibellina. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol, 2020
AbstractMembers of genus Martes provide early warning signals about forest ecosystem health and are designated as a Management Indicator Species. As one of the most widespread members in Martes, the sable (Martes zibellina) is a circumboreal small predator found throughout all taiga zoogeographical zones of Eurasia and shows distinct population ...

Defensive response to humans in farm-bred sables (Martes zibellina)

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
The formation of behavior type in the postnatal development of sables is studied insufficiently. Studies of this hot topic showed that the anthropogenic factor has a great influence on behavior formation in sables. Identification of other components that

Wild Japanese Marten, <i>Martes melampus melampus</i> (Carnivora: Mustelidae), Is a New Host for Zoonotic <i>Thelazia callipaeda</i> Eyeworm. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Wild Japanese martens serve as a natural host for Thelazia callipaeda, contributing to its transmission in the sylvatic cycle. ABSTRACT Thelazia callipaeda is a spirurid nematode that parasitizes the eyes of mammals, including carnivores, lagomorphs, and humans.

Development of short-target primers for species identification in biological studies of Carnivora. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Abstract Noninvasive genetic sampling greatly facilitates studies on the genetics, ecology, and conservation of threatened species. Species identification is often a prerequisite for noninvasive sampling‐based biological studies. Due to the low quantity and quality of genomic DNA from noninvasive samples, high‐performance short‐target PCR primers are ...
