Retinal cone photoreceptors of the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus : development, topography, opsin expression and spectral tuning [PDF]
A quantitative analysis of photoreceptor properties was performed in the retina of the nocturnal deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus, using pigmented (wildtype) and albino animals.

Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Social interactions have a significant impact on health in humans and animal models. Social isolation initiates a cascade of stress-related physiological disorders and stands as a significant risk factor for a wide spectrum of morbidity and mortality ...

Functions of Intermittent Locomotion in Mustached Tamarins (Saguinus mystax) [PDF]
Many animals interrupt their moving with brief pauses, which appear to serve several different functions. We examined the function of such intermittent locomotion in wild living mustached tamarins (Saguinus mystax), small arboreal New World primates that

We developed a novel parturition synchrony index (PSI) to quantify the degree of parturition synchrony for an individual mother within a group (or population). We evaluated the robustness of the PSI by simulating parturition synchrony at the individual level under a range of scenarios.

Detection of Brucella abortus DNA and RNA in different stages of development of the sucking louse Haematopinus tuberculatus [PDF]
Background: Brucellosis is considered the world’s most widespread zoonotic infection. It causes abortion and sterility in livestock leading to serious economic losses and has even more serious medical impact in humans, since it can be a trigger to more

Multimorbidity and animal models
Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of ≥2 chronic conditions, is associated with aging, genetics, and environmental factors. Animal models in multimorbidity research span three tiers: simple organisms for initial screening → rodents for mechanistic analysis → large mammals for clinical prediction.

Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules in domestic and wild animal species [PDF]
Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules (HTBS), or "mucoperiosteal exostoses" (ME, syn.) are small, globular (>= 1 mm in diameter), mostly stalked and drumstick-like, bony structures, which arise from the inner wall of the tympanic bulla and project into the

An analysis of population genetics on the basis of the mitochondrial genomes of widely sampled Spermophilus dauricus, integrated with the results of species distribution models, reveals the following: There are differences in population differentiation among the three Spermophilus dauricus populations in the Northeast Plain, the Hulunbuir Plateau, and ...

Monogamy and high relatedness do not preferentially favor the evolution of cooperation [PDF]
Background Phylogenetic analyses strongly associate nonsocial ancestors of cooperatively-breeding or eusocial species with monogamy. Because monogamy creates high-relatedness family groups, kin selection has been concluded to drive the evolution of ...
