Hoxd13 expression in the developing limbs of the short-tailed fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata.
Bat forelimbs are highly specialized for sustained flight, providing a unique model to explore the genetic programs that regulate vertebrate limb diversity. Hoxd9-13 genes are important regulators of stylopodium, zeugopodium, and autopodium development and thus evolutionary changes in their expression profiles and biochemical activities may contribute to divergent limb morphologies in vertebrat...
متن کاملMolecular and Phylogenetic Characterization of Cytokine Genes from Seba’s Short-Tailed Bat (Carollia perspicillata)
Bats (order Chiroptera) represent nearly one fourth of the approximately 5,000 known species of mammals, yet many aspects of their biology are poorly understood. Bats of certain species are well known reservoirs of rabies virus but within the past few years bats also have been identified as reservoirs or potential reservoirs of several other important human and livestock pathogens. In some inst...
متن کاملIsolation, genomic structure and developmental expression of Fgf8 in the short-tailed fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata.
Fibroblast growth factor-8 (Fgf8) encodes a secreted protein which was initially identified as the factor responsible for androgen-dependant growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells (Tanaka et al., 1992). Fgf8 has been subsequently implicated in the patterning and growth of the gastrulating embryo, paraxial mesoderm (somites), limbs, craniofacial tissues, central nervous system and other organ s...
متن کاملThe aerodynamic cost of flight in the short-tailed fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata): comparing theory with measurement.
Aerodynamic theory has long been used to predict the power required for animal flight, but widely used models contain many simplifications. It has been difficult to ascertain how closely biological reality matches model predictions, largely because of the technical challenges of accurately measuring the power expended when an animal flies. We designed a study to measure flight speed-dependent a...
متن کاملRare Colour Aberration in the Short-Tailed Fruit Bats (Carollia Perspicillata)
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Here, we report the first observation of an albino Short-Tailed Fruit Bats Carollia perspicillata from Colombia. Carollia perspicillata is distributed from Colombia eastward across northern South America, including Trinidad and Tobago, and southward into Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. The species also is known from the I...
