Direct Comparisons of 2D and 3D Dental Microwear Proxies in Extant Herbivorous and Carnivorous Mammals
The analysis of dental microwear is commonly used by paleontologists and anthropologists to clarify the diets of extinct species, including herbivorous and carnivorous mammals. Currently, there are numerous methods employed to quantify dental microwear, varying in the types of microscopes used, magnifications, and the characterization of wear in both two dimensions and three dimensions. Results...
متن کاملBasolateral inositol transport by intestines of carnivorous and herbivorous teleosts.
Myoinositol transport by isolated basolateral membrane vesicles was characterized from intestines of the herbivorous tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) and the carnivorous eel (Anguilla anguilla). [3H]myoinositol transport occurred by nonelectrogenic, facilitated diffusion independent of cation gradients and was inhibited by phloretin (Ki = 0.6 and 0.9 mM for tilapia and eel, respectively) but n...
متن کاملArms Race between Enveloped Viruses and the Host ERAD Machinery
Enveloped viruses represent a significant category of pathogens that cause serious diseases in animals. These viruses express envelope glycoproteins that are singularly important during the infection of host cells by mediating fusion between the viral envelope and host cell membranes. Despite low homology at protein levels, three classes of viral fusion proteins have, as of yet, been identified...
متن کاملMajor taste loss in carnivorous mammals.
Mammalian sweet taste is primarily mediated by the type 1 taste receptor Tas1r2/Tas1r3, whereas Tas1r1/Tas1r3 act as the principal umami taste receptor. Bitter taste is mediated by a different group of G protein-coupled receptors, the Tas2rs, numbering 3 to ∼66, depending on the species. We showed previously that the behavioral indifference of cats toward sweet-tasting compounds can be explaine...
متن کاملLarge-scale assessment of commensalistic–mutualistic associations between African birds and herbivorous mammals using internet photos
Birds sitting or feeding on live large African herbivorous mammals are a visible, yet quite neglected, type of commensalistic-mutualistic association. Here, we investigate general patterns in such relationships at large spatial and taxonomic scales. To obtain large-scale data, an extensive internet-based search for photos was carried out on Google Images. To characterize patterns of the structu...
