Phytotherapy in zoo animals [PDF]
Phytotherapy is one of the oldest medical disciplines and was traditionally based on empiricism (Reichling et al., 2008). Nowadays, its use as an additional integral component of evidence based medicine is well accepted in human medicine (Finkelmann ...

Assessing Mammal Conservation Effectiveness in the World's Highest‐Elevation Protected Area Network
ABSTRACT Aim Protected areas (PAs) are central to global biodiversity conservation, but their effectiveness in understudied regions, such as high‐altitude ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Tibet contains the world's highest‐elevation PA network and a remarkably diverse mammalian fauna, especially medium‐ and large‐bodied mammals (MLM) that are of ...

Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla, Tapiromorpha) [PDF]
ABSTRACT Here we describe mandibular, dental, and postcranial remains referable to Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla) originating from the vertebrate localities of Kucukcekmece East and Kucukcekmece West, in Thrace (European Turkey). The four rhinocerotids recognized comprise the early diverging Ronzotherium sp.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

A Mutual Information Based Sequence Distance For Vertebrate Phylogeny Using Complete Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
Traditional sequence distances require alignment. A new mutual information based sequence distance without alignment is defined in this paper. This distance is based on compositional vectors of DNA sequences or protein sequences from complete genomes ...

Mizoram's study revealed low ungulate densities and abundance, suggesting illegal hunting as a cause and entailing conservation urgency. ABSTRACT Assessing species distribution and associated threats is crucial for effective conservation. Many species including mammals face extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and illegal trade, with their ...

Vascularization of the trachea in the bottlenose dolphin: Comparison with bovine and evidence for evolutionary adaptations to diving [PDF]
The rigid structure of the mammalian trachea is functional to maintain constant patency and airflow during breathing, but no gas exchange takes place through its walls.
