Predicting body mass in Ruminantia using postcranial measurements
Journal of Morphology, 2023 AbstractSize plays an important role in mammalian ecology. Accurate prediction of body mass is therefore critical for inferring aspects of ecology in extinct mammals. The unique digestive physiology of extant ruminant artiodactyls, in particular, is suggested to place constraints on their body mass depending on the type of food resources available ...

Geometric Morphometrics of Astragalus and Shape Variation Analysis in Capra, Ovis, and Bovidae. [PDF]
Vet Med SciIt was investigated whether taxonomic differences have an effect on shape using bovine, sheep, and capra astragalus. Shape variation of sheep, goat, and bovine astragalus was evaluated by the geometric morphometry method. Similar and different findings were obtained from the literature in terms of these features. The variation was seen at landmarks LM3,

Sharpening the mesowear tool: geometric morphometric analysis of cusp shape and diet in ruminants
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mesowear is a dietary proxy that relates attritive wear and abrasive wear to the shape of worn tooth cusps of ungulates. Traditional mesowear methods categorize cusps according to relief and sharpness.

The systematics of the Cervidae: a total evidence approach [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Systematic relationships of cervids have been controversial for decades. Despite new input from molecular systematics, consensus could only be partially reached.

Allometric and Phylogenetic Aspects of Stapes Morphology in Ruminantia (Mammalia, Artiodactyla)
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The stapes is the smallest bone of the mammalian skeleton. Being the innermost middle ear ossicle, it is in contact with the inner ear and is directly responsible for sound transmission into it. Today, Ruminantia are one of the most diversified groups of

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Reduced numbers of carpal and tarsal bones (wrist and ankle joints) are extensively observed in the clade of Cetacea and Ruminantia (Cetruminantia). Homebox D11 (Hoxd11) is one of the important genes required for limb development in mammals. Mutations in

Comparative sex chromosome hybridizations in Ruminantia [PDF]
Annals of Animal Science, 2012 AbstractThe syntenic conservation nature of some chromosomes enables the use of several molecular probes obtained from one species of animals to detect homologous DNA segments in other species. The aim of this study was to analyse homology between sex chromosomes in several species belonging to the suborder Ruminantia (sheep - Ovis aries, fallow ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2091-2113, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT What can the stable isotope values of human and animal faeces tell us? This often under‐appreciated waste product is gaining recognition across a variety of disciplines. Faecal isotopes provide a means of monitoring diet, resource partitioning, landscape use, tracking nutrient inputs and cycling, and reconstructing past climate and environment.
