Molecular phylogeny and divergence time estimates for major rodent groups: evidence from multiple genes.
The order Rodentia contains half of all extant mammal species, and from an evolutionary standpoint, there are persistent controversies surrounding the monophyly of the order, divergence dates for major lineages, and relationships among families. Exons of growth hormone receptor (GHR) and breast cancer susceptibility (BRCA1) genes were sequenced for a wide diversity of rodents and other mammals ...
متن کاملRodent phylogeny and a timescale for the evolution of Glires: evidence from an extensive taxon sampling using three nuclear genes.
Rodentia is the largest order of placental mammals, with approximately 2,050 species divided into 28 families. It is also one of the most controversial with respect to its monophyly, relationships between families, and divergence dates. Here, we have analyzed and compared the performance of three nuclear genes (von Willebrand Factor, interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein, and Alpha 2B adr...
متن کاملwild rodent ectoparasites collected from northwestern iran
background: rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. these ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals. the aim of this study was to assess the distribution and infestation load of ectoparasites on rodents in meshkin-shahr district, northwestern iran . method: rodents were captured using baited live traps in...
متن کاملRodent Behavior Analysis
Rodent behavior analysis has as its goal the determination and temporal sequencing of rodent behaviors based on video image analysis. This fits in well with the structure of the human motion surveys, although it is applied to animals and not humans. In terms of the first survey (Moeslund [2]), which divides the analysis into initialization of models, tracking (segmentation), pose estimation, an...
متن کاملPhylogeny of all major groups of cetaceans based on DNA sequences from three mitochondrial genes.
Traditionally, living cetaceans (order Cetacea) are classified into two highly distinct suborders: the echolocating toothed whales, Odontoceti, and the filter-feeding baleen whales, Mysticeti. A molecular phylogeny based on 1,352 base pairs of two mitochondrial ribosomal gene segments and the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene for all major groups of cetaceans contradicts this long-accepted taxono...
