A simple and effective method to enrich endogenous DNA from mammalian faeces

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract Utilization of faeces has long been a popular approach for genetic and ecological studies of wildlife. However, the success of molecular marker genotyping and genome resequencing is often unpredictable due to insufficient enrichment of endogenous DNA in the total faecal DNA that is dominated by bacterial DNA. Here, we report a simple and cheap

Running, jumping, hunting, and scavenging: Functional analysis of vertebral mobility and backbone properties in carnivorans

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 244, Issue 2, Page 205-231, February 2024.
Intervertebral mobility and backbone properties were studied in 34 species of terrestrial carnivorans. Carnivorans that seize prey with their jaws (canids and hyaenids) are characterized by a significantly elongated neck and increased vertebral mobility in the sagittal and horizontal planes.
