ABSTRACT The gut microbiome of animals vary by age, diet, and habitat, directly influences an individual's health. Similarly, variation in home ranges is linked to feeding strategies fitness. Ungulates (hooved mammals) exhibit species-specific microbiomes habitat use patterns. We combined movement data assess relationships between space the a specialist generalist ungulate.

Vibrio metschnikovii is a gram-negative bacillus that can be found in various aquatic habitats including fresh, brackish and marine waters and sewage, as well as shellfish, birds, poultry and domestic ungulates. The first case of infection in humans was published in 1981 and very few cases have been reported since then. We did not find any reference to the isolation of V. metschnikovii in Spain...

The rise and spread of tropical grasslands was a signal event in the Cenozoic, causing many ungulates to evolve adaptations diet graminoid tissues, or graminivory. In parallel, lineage monkeys (Theropithecus) is distinguished among primates for its large size commitment graminivory, trait expressed by species throughout Plio-Pleistocene fossil record T. gelada, sole surviving today. An open que...

the rectum. In the aard-vark the testes occupy an intermediate position within the inguinal canal, but here there is reason to believe that they descend into the scrotum during the mating season. The testes of active creatures like ungulates, carnivores, and primates lie within a post-penile scrotum, where they are free from violent changes in pressure and are kept in the position of greatest s...

Much has been studied on the spreading speed and traveling wave solutions for cooperative reaction–diffusion systems. In this paper, we shall establish the spreading speed for a large class of non-cooperative reaction–diffusion systems and characterize the spreading speed as the slowest speed of a family of non-constant traveling wave solutions. Our results are applied to a partially cooperativ...
