Tooth Size Variation in Pinniped Dentitions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 It is contentious whether size variation among mammalian teeth is heterogeneous or homogeneous, whether the coefficient of variation is reliable, and whether the standard deviation of log-transformed data and the residual of standard deviation on mean ...

Phocid seal leptin: tertiary structure and hydrophobic receptor binding site preservation during distinct leptin gene evolution [PDF]
, 2012 The cytokine hormone leptin is a key signalling molecule in many pathways that control physiological functions. Although leptin demonstrates structural conservation in mammals, there is evidence of positive selection in primates, lagomorphs and ...

Scientia Marina, 2010 This study tests the hypothesis that female South American sea lions shift from off-shore, pelagic prey to coastal, benthic prey after parturition in order to reduce the foraging trip duration and hence the time pups remain unattended on the beach ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.Molecular diagnostics, such as PCR and biosensor‐based techniques, offer high sensitivity in detecting Brucella spp. in seronegative animals, overcoming the limitations of traditional serological methods. The pooled detection rate of 35.08% suggests a substantial number of hidden carriers.

野生动物学报, 1983 食肉目包括体形和生活方式上各不相同的许多种哺乳动物,它们具有共同的起源和一系列共同的特征。食肉目（Carnivora）在系统发生上与鳍脚目（Pinnipedia）和己绝灭的肉齿目（Creo donta）关系最为密切,因此有些分类学家主张把上述三目都作为亚目,同属于食肉目,而将本讲介绍的兽类称为裂脚亚目（Fissipedia）。但是我们仍分别介绍食肉目和鳍脚目。

Biotemas, 2013 The hypothesis that pinnipeds have a common origin gained support during the 1980s in discussions focused on the systematics of the group. However, the limited knowledge of the anatomy of several species and the frequent variation in several character ...

Characterization of pinniped vibrissal type and number
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Pinnipeds have vibrissae with which they can explore their environment. Two vibrissal parameters that differ in pinnipeds are shape and number. Regarding shape, most phocids have undulated vibrissae, whereas the vibrissae of a few phocids, all otariids and walruses are smooth.

Covariation in the Craniocervical Junction of Carnivora
Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.The craniocervical junction in mammals is a biomechanically unique region that involves the occiput and two specialized vertebrae: the ring‐shaped atlas (CV1) and the axis (CV2) with its peculiar odontoid process (Dens). In Carnivora, the present study indicates that quantitative variation in CV1 morphology reflects a functional signal, while CV2 ...
