Abstract Background Periodontal and peri‐implant diseases are multifactorial inflammatory conditions influenced by microbial, host, hormonal, genetic, and behavioral factors. Although sex‐based differences in immune and inflammatory responses are well recognized in medicine, the extent to which biologic sex and hormonal status influence the prevalence,

Comparative study of the chromosomes of Ovis aries and Capra hircus from their relative lengths
The comparative cytogenetic study between the Ovis aries and Capra hircus species shows the evolutionary relationship which exists between them. Thus, by means of a statistical study of the mesurement of their chromosomes, two factors were observed.

Intelligence, complexity, and individuality in sheep
Domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are among the earliest animals domesticated for human use. They are consumed worldwide as mutton, hogget, and lamb, kept as wool and milk producers, and used extensively in scientific research.

Lack of Heterogeneous Study Samples in Farm Animal Cognition Research
Abstract Farm animals have received limited attention in animal cognition research, despite their numbers and biomass surpassing all other mammalian species, including humans. Nevertheless, studying farm animal cognition can yield benefits for both fundamental and applied research. First, in a comparative context, cognitive research on farm animals and

Analysis of Sexual Behavior in Rams (Ovis aries).
In this study, a matured ram was paired with an estrus ewe and sexual behavior was investigated. All the behavior was recorded by a time-lapse video tape recorder from the start of pairing. The series of unit movements comprising the sexual behavior, the mounting series (MS), was extracted from the record and analyzed quantitatively (n = 774).

Identification and Validation of Genus/Species-Specific Short InDels in Dairy Ruminants
Background Over the past thirty years, the identification of species-specific molecular markers has significantly advanced our understanding of genetic diversity in both plants and animals. Among these, short InDels have emerged as vital genomic features,
