The domestic dog varies remarkably in cranial morphology. In fact, the differences in size and proportion between some dog breeds are as great as those between many genera of wild canids. In this study, I compare patterns of intracranial allometry and morphologic diversity between the domestic dog and wild canid species. The results demonstrate that the domestic dog is morphologically distinct ...

Mammalian carnivores may be important agents of prehistoric bone accumulations. Taphonomic analyses assemblages used for specific assignment usually include information on feeding, breeding, denning and even defecating ecology extant species. Here, we review literature the Hyaenidae, Felidae Canidae families carnivores, focusing ecological behavioural traits that are commonly as criteria to ass...

Seventeen specimens of carnivores the families Felidae (Puma concolor and Leopardus geoffroyi) Canidae (Lycalopex culpaeus) were collected in different localities Nahuel Huapi National Park (Argentina) from August 2005 to May 2018. The processed by necropsy, ascaridid parasites obtained only L. culpaeus. Morphological analysis indicates all belong Toxocara canis, specific identification was con...

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of STEC and EPEC strains and E. coli O157 serogroup in some Equidae and Canidae. The fecal samples of 79 animals from 6 different species were evaluated for presence of these strains. All the Isolates were tested for virulence genes using multiplex-PCR. Non-sorbitol fermenting (NSF) Escherichia coli isolates and positive strains for virule...
