Crown structure of the maxillary molars in the Japanese shrew mole, Urotrichus talpoides (Insectivora, Talpidae).
The maxillary first and second molars (M1 and M2) in the Japanese shrew mole, Urotrichus talpoides, were investigated using an odontometrical approach. The mesiodistal crown diameter was larger in M1 than in M2, while the buccolingual diameter of M1 was nearly equal to that of M2. M2 was more compressed mesiodistally than M1. M1 had a large distal triangle on the stylar shelf. The mesial triang...
متن کاملRedescription and Comparison of a Highly Fossorial Mole, Domninoides mimicus (Insectivora, Talpidae), from the Clarendonian
The holotype of the species, Domniinoides mimicuits, is based on one tooth. Described in the present report is material containing a practically complete dentition and many postcranial elements which definitely belong with the teeth. This species is closely related to Domnitnoides i'lentinensis described by Reed (1962). but some of the antemolars in valentinensis are misidentified. The tooth fo...
متن کاملFasting metabolism and thermoregulatory competence of the star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata (Talpidae: Condylurinae).
Metabolic and body temperature (Tb) responses of star-nosed moles (Condylura cristata) exposed to air temperatures ranging from 0 to 33 degrees C were investigated. The thermoneutral zone of this semi-aquatic mole extended from 24.5 to 33 degrees C, over which its basal rate of metabolism averaged 2.25 ml O2 g-1 h-1 (45.16 J g-1 h-1). This rate of metabolism is higher than predicted for terrest...
متن کاملZoo-FISH in the European mole (Talpa europaea) detects all ancestral Boreo-Eutherian human homologous chromosome associations.
Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of human homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (Talpa europaea, Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia). These segment associations represent shared ancestral Boreo-Eutherian traits, half of which were previously not described for Eulipotyphla. The karyotype ...
متن کاملDigital dissection of the masticatory muscles of the naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber (Mammalia, Rodentia)
The naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber, of the family Bathyergidae is a subterranean rodent that feeds on underground roots and tubers and digs extensive tunnel systems with its incisors. It is a highly unusual mammal with regard to its social structure, longevity, pain insensitivity and cancer resistance, all of which have made it the subject of a great deal of research in recent years. Yet...
