cytotaxonomy is a branch of cytogenetics, devoted to the comparative study of karyological features for systematic and evolutionary purposes. surely, awareness of chromosomal characters increases our knowledge in different fields of studies. in this study, cytogenetic analyses were performed in 92 mus musculus specimens from 26 localities in iran. cytogenetic characteristics of the house mouse,...

Understanding the molecular basis of species formation is an important goal in evolutionary genetics, and Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities are thought to be a common source of postzygotic reproductive isolation between closely related lineages. However, the evolutionary forces that lead to the accumulation of such incompatibilities between diverging taxa are poorly understood. Segregation di...

The olfactory acuity of mice allows them to discriminate odors of conspecifics differing by a few genes. This acuity is used in habituation procedures where investigation of novel odors by the mouse can be translated into relative difference or similarity between the stimuli. This study adapts these behavioral procedures to address suprapopulation divergence among urinary odors in the house mou...

Active volcanic environments pose a multifactorial stress challenge to local organisms, including the domestic mouse Mus musculus. Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis was used to determine the elemental composition of lower incisor enamel and dentin from Mus musculus inhabiting the hydrothermal field at Furnas volcano in the Azores (Portugal). Elemental concentration for Ca, P, Na and Cl was ...

Abstract Using wire mesh live traps distribution pattern of the Rattus rattus and Mus musculus in different shops three districts Malakand region, Pakistan were recorded from September 2014 to October 2015. Over all 103 rodents (Rattus 86 17) caught during 0.04 trap success (2448 nights). Regression daily captures on cumulative revealed an estimate sampled structures with average 3.55 per shop....

Abstract. Liputo SM, Lamondo D, Solang M. 2021. Effect of palm sap (Arenga pinnata) on blood glucose levels mice (Mus musculus) alloxan-induced diabetic. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 20: 11-15. This study aims to determine the effect pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) in reducing diabetic musculus Linnaeus, 1758). Twenty-five aged 2-3 months were grouped into a negative control group, positive group and (0.2 m...

Hybrid zones between genetically diverged populations are widespread among animals and plants. Their dynamics usually depend on selection against admixture and dispersal of parental forms in the zone. Although indirect estimates of selection have been the target of many studies, dispersal has been neglected. In this study we carried out open field experiments to test whether males of two house ...
