DNA extraction from hair shafts of wild Brazilian felids and canids [PDF]

, 2010
Wild felids and canids are usually the main predators in the food chains where they dwell and are almost invisible to behavior and ecology researchers. Due to their grooming behavior, they tend to swallow shed hair, which shows up in the feces. DNA found

Body Size, Dental Pathology, and Maternal Genetic Diversity of Ancient Horses in the Eastern Baltic Sea Region and Western Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Prey detection by the predator remains constant across prey densities: evidence from a field experiment in the Arctic tundra

Oikos, EarlyView.
The functional response describes how predator acquisition rates change with prey availability and integrates behavioural processes that occur during predator–prey encounters. Among these processes, prey detection represents a critical yet often overlooked component that can directly influence population dynamics. Variation in detection probability has

History of canids in Chile and impacts on prey adaptations

, 2021
Artiodactyl prey species of Chile, especially guanacos (Lama guanicoe), are reported to be very susceptible to predation by pack‐hunting feral dogs. It has been previously suggested that guanacos and endemic South American deer may have evolved in the ...

Dual‐Component Spidroin‐Based Hydrogels: A Mechanically Tunable Platform for 2D and 3D Cell Culture

Small, EarlyView.
A dual‐component recombinant spider silk hydrogel platform was developed by combining NT2RepCT with a bioactive vitronectin‐functionalized spidroin domain. The hydrogels self‐assemble under physiological conditions, exhibit tunable mechanical properties, and support 2D and 3D cell culture, providing a versatile platform for mechanobiological studies ...

Wildlife-transmitted Taenia and Versteria cysticercosis and coenurosis in humans and other primates

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Wild mustelids and canids are definitive hosts of Taenia and Versteria spp. while rodents act as natural intermediate hosts. Rarely, larval stages of these parasites can cause serious zoonoses.

Frequency of Brucella canis seropositivity in at‐risk dogs referred for veterinary care in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Brucella canis is a canine pathogen of zoonotic concern. It is not considered endemic in the UK, with most infections diagnosed in travelled dogs or their offspring. Methods Between March 2021 and December 2022, all dogs with a history of travel outside of the UK or clinical signs compatible with brucellosis referred for veterinary ...

Development and validation of a cephalic conformation scoring system for the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extreme cephalic conformation has been theorised to be associated with compromised health in rabbits. However, recognition and assessment of such phenotypes remain largely subjective. This study aimed to develop and validate a visual, semi‐quantitative system for head shape phenotype in rabbits.

Microscopic and Molecular Identification of Sarcocystis spp. in Intestines of Canids and Mustelids Associated with Sarcocyst-Forming Species in Rodent Muscles

Biology
Sarcocystis, a diverse and species-rich protist genus infecting reptiles, birds, and mammals, remains poorly understood in terms of true diversity and their lifecycles.
