Composition of White Rhinoceros Colostrum and Changes During Early Lactation to Mature Milk
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.The colostrum phase of white rhinoceros milk ends after 2 days of lactation. The mature milk phase commences after 5 days. The fat content peaks at days 3–4. The Δ9‐desaturase 16 and ‐18 indexes peak at days 2–3. ABSTRACT The proximate composition of milk from seven free‐ranging white rhinoceroses during the first 20 days of lactation is reported with ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and a few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across the mammalian tree of life, refine the related protocols and understand the expected ...

The first description of Setaria tundra (Issaitshikoff & Rajewskaya, 1928) in roe deer from Croatia
Helminthologia, 2019 Genus Setaria, Viborg 1795, comprises 46 species that parasitize in the peritoneal cavity of Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla and Hyracoidea. The majority of these infections pass unnoticed, but occasionally they can induce severe peritonitis or neurological

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) shares a common terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, the understanding of the conduction system and electrical ...

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,
