Noninvasive genetic tracking of the endangered Pyrenean brown bear population.
Pyrenean brown bears Ursus arctos are threatened with extinction. Management efforts to preserve this population require a comprehensive knowledge of the number and sex of the remaining individuals and their respective home ranges. This goal has been achieved using a combination of noninvasive genetic sampling of hair and faeces collected in the field and corresponding track size data. Genotypi...

متن کاملCellular Scaling Rules of Insectivore Brains
Insectivores represent extremes in mammalian body size and brain size, retaining various "primitive" morphological characteristics, and some species of Insectivora are thought to share similarities with small-bodied ancestral eutherians. This raises the possibility that insectivore brains differ from other taxa, including rodents and primates, in cellular scaling properties. Here we examine the...
متن کاملConvergent evolution in primates and an insectivore.
The cardiovascular risk factor LPA has a puzzling distribution among mammals, its presence being limited to a subset of primates and a member of the insectivore lineage, the hedgehog. To explore the evolutionary history of LPA, we performed extensive genomic sequence comparisons of multiple species with and without an LPA gene product, such as human, baboon, hedgehog, lemur, and mouse. This ana...
متن کاملAUozyme differentiation and relationship among the Iberian-Pyrenean Mountain Lizards
Six nominal taxa ('Lacerta' monticola cantabrica, 'L. ' monücola monticola, 'L. ' aranica, 'L. ' aurelioi, 'L. ' bonnali, 'L. ' cyreni) of the Iberian-Pyrenean Mountain Lizards were investigated by allozyme electrophoresis with regard to IS enzymatic loci. 'L. ' horvathi was used as an outgroup for phylogenetic analysis. On the basts of our results which are in perfect agreement with karyologic...
