Histological analysis of incremental markings and crown growth characteristics in mandibular first molars of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae, Mammalia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper histologically analyzed incremental markings in dental enamel of red fox and grey wolf. Our results demonstrate that previous studies have misidentified these markings, which led to miscalculation of dental growth parameters. Abstract The present study analyzed incremental markings in the enamel of eight mandibular first molars (M1) of red ...

Hibernating bears (Ursidae): metabolic magicians of definite interest for the nephrologist [PDF]

Kidney International, 2013
Muscle loss, osteoporosis, and vascular disease are common in subjects with reduced renal function. Despite intensive research of the underlying risk factors and mechanisms driving these phenotypes, we still lack effective treatment strategies for this underserved patient group. Thus, new approaches are needed to identify effective treatments.

Evaluating Rapid Extraction Methods for Recovering Ancient DNA From Archaeological Sediments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
A modified Amicon‐based rapid DNA extraction protocol outperformed other rapid methods, recovering short DNA fragments from mock sediments within ~3 h. Application to archaeological sediments successfully recovered amplifiable DNA from ancient taxa. This rapid, portable, non‐hazardous approach establishes a premise for more informed sampling in time ...

Comparative Analysis of Olfactory Receptor Repertoires Sheds Light on the Diet Adaptation of the Bamboo-Eating Giant Panda Based on the Chromosome-Level Genome

Animals, 2023
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is the epitome of a flagship species for wildlife conservation and also an ideal model of adaptive evolution. As an obligate bamboo feeder, the giant panda relies on the olfaction for food recognition.

Canine Distemper Virus Research in China and Future Directions for Conservation 中国犬瘟热病毒研究现状与保护策略展望

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 268-280, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Canine distemper is a highly contagious, severe disease caused by the canine distemper virus (CDV). With a worldwide distribution and ever‐expanding list of susceptible hosts, CDV poses a growing risk for many threatened wildlife species, both in captivity and their native habitats. As a megadiverse country, China is home to myriad endemic and
