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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

The first Boreal Sable (Martes zibellina, L., 1758) in the Pleistocene Arctic Siberia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
This study reports on the first Mustelidae find from the Arctic (NE Yakutia) sealed in intact Pleistocene cryolithic beds. A morphological analysis of semi-adult male sable remains-cranium and dentalia-shows a close affinity with the modern subspecies ...

Leveraging Next-Generation Tools for Genetic Assessment and Demographic Monitoring in Threatened and Elusive Humboldt Martens. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Conservation assessments of imperiled species require information on population structure, abundance, and connectivity which benefit from integrated demographic and genetic data. Humboldt martens (Martes caurina humboldtensis) are a federally threatened subspecies of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) whose conservation has been hindered by ...

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.

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...
