| the chromosomes of muntiacus feae. | the karyotype of a female muntiacus feae is described. it comprises 13 chromosomes, three submetacentrics, and ten acrocentrics. chromosome 1 is the sex chromosome. this individual was heterozygous for a robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 2 and 7. | 1983 | 6851674 |
| rapid and parallel chromosomal number reductions in muntjac deer inferred from mitochondrial dna phylogeny. | muntjac deer (muntiacinae, cervidae) are of great interest in evolutionary studies because of their dramatic chromosome variations and recent discoveries of several new species. in this paper, we analyze the evolution of karyotypes of muntjac deer in the context of a phylogeny which is based on 1,844-bp mitochondrial dna sequences of seven generally recognized species in the muntjac subfamily. the phylogenetic results support the hypothesis that karyotypic evolution in muntjac deer has proceeded ... | 2000 | 10958849 |
| sperm quality and the morphology of cryopreserved testicular tissues recovered post-mortem from diverse wild species. | this study compared the effects of slow and fast freezing of testicular tissue of wild animals collected at post-mortem on testicular structure and testicular sperm. the testes of seven animals that had died in captivity; three felids (jungle cat, lion and leopard), two cervids (rusa deer and fea's muntjac) and two bovids (sumatran serows) were cryopreserved using slow- and fast-freezing protocols. there were greater reductions in the integrity of the sperm membrane and dna in tissues cryopreser ... | 2013 | 23872357 |
