Brown bears are mostly found in relatively low densities in the mountainous forests of Iran, from north to northwest and west, as well. Phylogeographic and genetic relationships between Iranian brown bears and others in the world are still unclear. We sequenced a 614 bp fragment of mtDNA control region of 15 sampled brown bears throughout Iran, where a dataset comprising a total number of 336 sequ...... hiện toàn bộ

We conducted a comparative phylogeographic analysis of three rodent species (Meriones meridianus, Dipus sagitta, and Allactaga sibirica) on the northeast margin of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Qaidam Basin, the Hexi Corridor and Tengger-Badain Jaran Desert based on sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of 264 individuals from 22 sampling sites. Our analyses indicated that the intraspeci...... hiện toàn bộ
Allometry of milk intake at peak lactationMammalian Biology - Tập 76 - Trang 3-11 - 2011
Alexander Riek
Much attention has been given to the scaling of milk output and lactational strategies across species. However developed allometric equations for milk output in adult animals cannot be used for suckling young. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate milk intake and intake of milk nutrients in suckling mammalian young at peak lactation using phylogenetic independent contrasts...... hiện toàn bộ
