Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Mustelidae (Mammalia: Carnivora). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The comparative genomic analysis of 19 mustelid species provides insights into the genetic basis of body size evolution, identifying candidate genes and pathways under selection that underlie the remarkable morphological diversity in Mustelidae. ABSTRACT The extraordinary body size diversity within Mustelidae makes this carnivoran family an exceptional

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 ...

Abundant top predators increase species interaction network complexity in northeastern Chinese forests. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Our study reveals how top predators influence mammalian interaction networks by increasing complexity and redistributing interactions through indirect effects. These findings imply the important role of top predators in structuring communities, offering novel insights into the conservation and management of mammal communities in northeastern China ...

Monitoring Brown Bears in Kazakhstan: A Pilot Study from the Altai Mountain Region. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we present results from the first camera trapping operation designed to detect brown bears in the Altai Mountain Region of Kazahstan and highlight some lessons learned from the pilot study. Our study was conducted at a relatively local scale but represents a first step towards understanding the presence of brown bears and other mammals in a ...

Genomics of Sable (Martes zibellina) × Pine Marten (Martes martes) Hybridization. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
The sable (Martes zibellina) and pine marten (Martes martes) are two Palearctic mustelids with long-recognized hybrids (kidases), whose fertility was controversial for years. Early genetic studies confirmed the existence of hybrids beyond F1, but limited
