The morphology of the penis in porcupine (Hystrix cristata)
In this study, histological and macroanatomical structures of porcupine penis were examined on 3 adult male porcupines. The non-erectile position of porcupine penis was directed to caudal. There was an obvious collum penis. Glans penis with a black colour was easily distinguished from corpus penis which had a white color. There were cornified papillae covering on both the glans penis and corpus...
متن کاملThe dissemination of pelvic limb nerves originating from the lumbosacral plexus in the porcupine (Hystrix cristata)
In this study the nerves originating from the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (Hystrix cristata) were investigated. Four porcupines (two males and two females) were used. The plexus lumbosacrales of animals were appropriately dissected and dissemination of pelvic limb nerves originating from the plexus lumbosacrales was examined. The nerves originated from the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupi...
متن کاملLong live the alien: is high genetic diversity a pivotal aspect of crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) long-lasting and successful invasion?
Studying the evolutionary dynamics of an alien species surviving and continuing to expand after several generations can provide fundamental information on the relevant features of clearly successful invasions. Here, we tackle this task by investigating the dynamics of the genetic diversity in invasive crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) populations, introduced to Italy about 1500 years ago, wh...
متن کاملInvestigations on the postnatal development of the foliate papillae using light and scanning electron microscopy in the porcupine (Hystrix cristata)
In this study SEM and light microscopy were used to investigate the structure of the foliate papillae in the porcupine. The foliate papillae consisted of about 10 or 11 clefts. The length of the foliate papillae averaged 2.79 mm and its width averaged 863 μm. Taste buds were located intraepithelial in the basal half of the papilla grooves (sulcus papillae). Every wall on each fold harboured fro...
متن کاملReproduction in the Cape porcupine Hystrix africaeaustralis: an ecological perspective
Cape porcupines, Hystrix africaeaustralis, apparently have a wide ecological tolerance and are found extensive ly throughout Southern Africa. These fossorial hystrico morph rodents are monogamous, live in extended family groups, breed seasonally in summer rainfall areas, and adult pairs produce only a single litter each year. A litter interval ofabout one year is maintained through lactationa...
