Primitive and definitive erythropoiesis in mammals
Red blood cells (RBCs), which constitute the most abundant cell type in the body, come in two distinct flavors- primitive and definitive. Definitive RBCs in mammals circulate as smaller, anucleate cells during fetal and postnatal life, while primitive RBCs circulate transiently in the early embryo as large, nucleated cells before ultimately enucleating. Both cell types are formed from lineage-c...
متن کاملHypaxial motor patterns and the function of epipubic bones in primitive mammals.
Since the first description of epipubic bones in 1698, their functions and those of the associated abdominal muscles of monotremes and marsupial mammals have remained unresolved. We show that each epipubic bone is part of a kinetic linkage extending from the femur, by way of the pectineus muscle, to the epipubic bone, through the pyramidalis and rectus abdominis muscles on one side of the abdom...
متن کاملSymmetrical gaits and center of mass mechanics in small-bodied, primitive mammals.
Widely accepted relationships between gaits (footfall patterns) and center of mass mechanics have been formulated from observations for cursorial mammals. However, sparse data on smaller or more generalized forms suggest a fundamentally different relationship. This study explores locomotor dynamics in one eutherian and five metatherian (marsupials) mammals-all small-bodied (<2 kg) with generali...
متن کاملAn Overview of Sex Selection at Conception in Mammals
Although the mechanisms under which sex ratio is controlled in nature remain unknown, researchers have attempted to treat sperm in an effort to predetermine the sex of the offspring. The methods of sperm separation that have been repeatedly reported to isolate fractions rich in X- or Y-chromosome bearing sperm are serum albumin gradient swim-up and flow cytometry. However, the ability of the se...
متن کاملMating Behaviour and Vibratory Signalling in Non-Hearing Cave Crickets Reflect Primitive Communication of Ensifera
In Ensifera, the lack of well-supported phylogeny and the focus on acoustic communication of the terminal taxa hinders understanding of the evolutionary history of their signalling behaviour and the related sensory structures. For Rhaphidophoridae, the most relic of ensiferans following morphology-based phylogenies, the signalling modes are still unknown. Together with a detailed description of...
