Functional characterization of the rod visual pigment of the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), a basal mammal.
Monotremes are the most basal egg-laying mammals comprised of two extant genera, which are largely nocturnal. Visual pigments, the first step in the sensory transduction cascade in photoreceptors of the eye, have been examined in a variety of vertebrates, but little work has been done to study the rhodopsin of monotremes. We isolated the rhodopsin gene of the nocturnal short-beaked echidna (Tac...

متن کاملShort Communication Survival of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna Zaglossus attenboroughi in New Guinea
Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna Zaglossus attenboroughi is known from a single specimen collected in the Cyclops Mountains of northern Papua in 1961, and has previously been considered to be extremely rare if not already extinct. New fieldwork to investigate the continued survival of Z. attenboroughiwas conducted on the north and south slopes of the Cyclops Mountains in May 2007 using commun...
متن کاملThe echidna Tachyglossus aculeatus combines REM and non-REM aspects in a single sleep state: implications for the evolution of sleep.
Placental and marsupial mammals exist in three states of consciousness: waking, non-REM sleep, and REM sleep. We now report that the echidna Tachyglossus aculeatus, a representative of the earliest branch of mammalian evolution (the monotremes), does not have the pattern of neuronal activity of either of the sleep states seen in nonmonotreme mammals. Echidna sleep was characterized by increased...
متن کاملMorphology of Auditory Canal of Echidna (Tachy- glossus aculeatus)
The echidna is a monotreme a mammal that lay eggs and produces milk to nourish its young after hatching. Three short-beaked echidnas were used to study the morphology of their auditory canal. Three echidnas were dissected, two of them were x-rayed and samples for histological examination were taken from them before dissection. The echidna possesses neither an apparent ear pinna nor a tympanic b...
