Endoparasitic fauna of two South American foxes in Chile: Lycalopex culpaeus and Lycalopex griseus

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
Native foxes face serious threats related to anthropic activities and the uncontrolled pets. However, the transmission of several pathogens such as parasites by domestic dogs is an important conservation issue with limited attention in Chile. The lack of

Candidatus Bartonella merieuxii, a potential new zoonotic Bartonella species in canids from Iraq. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Bartonellae are emerging vector-borne pathogens infecting erythrocytes and endothelial cells of various domestic and wild mammals. Blood samples were collected from domestic and wild canids in Iraq under the United States Army zoonotic disease ...

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

Body mass and sex estimation from lower carnassial tooth morphometry in the endangered Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus): An ecomorphological analysis of sexual size dimorphism

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Regional variability in skull sexual dimorphism: Olive baboons, blue monkeys, and vervets confirm the posterior region of the skull and the snout as opposite extremes of sex differences in Old World monkeys

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study, alongside prior work on crab‐eating macaques with O'Higgins, investigates regional variation in skull sexual dimorphism across different species of Old World monkeys. Findings reveal consistent patterns: the posterior skull regions (mandibular vertical ramus, chondrocranium and, possibly, the cranial vault) exhibit lower dimorphism,

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.
