Utilization Patterns and Optimization Suggestions for Wildlife Passages in Xinjiang Nature Reserves. [PDF]
Ecol EvolLinear infrastructure expansion poses a significant threat to biodiversity. We surveyed and monitored wildlife passages in eight Xinjiang nature reserves, assessing construction status, utilization patterns, and influencing factors. This study provides conservation strategies to improve wildlife passage construction and management, ensuring effective ...

Comparison of Lagostomus maximus amelogenin gene (AMELX) with other mammals [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of this study was to compare the Lagostomus maximus AMEL sequence to assess their similarity with the AMEL genes from other mammals. Previously we reported a sequence of the AMEL gene of Lagostomus maximus which corresponds to the intron 3 of the

Distribution, diversity and evolution of endogenous retroviruses in perissodactyl genomes [PDF]
, 2018 The evolution of mammalian genomes has been shaped by interactions with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). In this study, we investigated the distribution and diversity of ERVs in the mammalian order Perissodactyla, with a view to understanding their impact
