Individual variations in skull and lower carnassial morphology within a wild population of raccoon dog were examined using geometric morphometric techniques. We compared individual morphological variations by using relative warp analysis, a...
Complete mitochondrial genome of Gomphocerus sibiricus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and comparative analysis in four Gomphocerinae mitogenomes [0.03%]
Gomphocerus sibiricus（直翅目草原蝗属）的完整线粒体基因组及与四个Gomphocerinaesub属线粒体基因组的比较分析

Hong-Li Zhang et al.
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Gomphocerus sibiricus, consisting of 15,590 bp, was determined and analyzed. It displays typical genome organization found in other Caelifera mitogenomes: 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfe...
Molecular cloning and multifunctional characterization of host defense peptides from the bullfrog Harderian gland with special reference to catesbeianalectin [0.03%]

The Harderian gland (HG) is an orbital gland found in many terrestrial vertebrates that possess a nictitating membrane. Using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we cloned five cDNAs encoding antimicrobial peptide (AMP...
Linking mesohabitat selection and ecological traits of a fish assemblage in a small tropical stream (Tinggi River, Pahang Basin) of the Malay Peninsula [0.03%]
马来西亚半岛蒂吉河(帕汉流域)小型热带溪鱼生态习性和生境选择之间的关系研究

Yuichi Kano et al.
Mesohabitat selection in fluvial fishes was studied in a small tropical stream of the Malay Peninsula. A total of 681 individuals representing 24 species were sampled at 45 stations within heterogeneous stream (ca. 1 km in length), in which...
Propagation of Caenorhabditis japonica in the nest of its carrier insect, Parastrachia japonensis [0.03%]

Etsuko Okumura et al.
We demonstrated the disembarkation of the bacterial-feeding nematode Caenorhabditis japonica dauer larvae (DL) from adult Parastrachia japonensis female insects and observed the propagation of nematodes in artificial insect nests. Our resul...
Mitochondrial cytochrome B phylogeny and historical biogeography of the Tohoku salamander, Hynobius lichenatus (Amphibia, Caudata) [0.03%]

In 1926, Tage Lakjer hypothesized a replacement of the infratemporal bar in diapsids by a ligament spanning between quadrate and the upper jaw. As a similar ligament is also present in turtles, he argued for a diapsid origin of this group. ...
