| karyotypes of six soricomorph species from emei shan, sichuan province, china. | we report the karyotypes of six species of the order soricomorpha (mammalia), based on specimens collected from emei shan (mount emei) in central sichuan province, china: two talpid species, uropsilus andersoni (diploid chromosome number [2n]=34, fundamental number of chromosome arms including two x chromosomes [fn]=56) and scaptonyx fusicaudus (2n=34, fn=64); and four soricid species, episoriculus sacratus (2n=58, fn=108), anourosorex squamipes (2n=48, fn=96), sorex cylindricauda (2n=30, fn=50) ... | 2009 | 19877840 |
| evolution and biogeography of talpid moles from continental east asia and the japanese islands inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences. | we sequenced the cytochrome b gene from two little-studied mammal species from the highlands of southwest china, the long-tailed mole scaptonyx fusicaudus and the gracile shrew-like mole uropsilus gracilis. this data was used to examine the phylogenetic relationships among 19 talpid species within the family talpidae (mammalia: eulipotyphla). cytochrome b gene trees supported a basal placement of shrew-like moles (uropsilus) within the talpidae, and suggested that fossorial specializations arose ... | 2004 | 15613798 |
| dahonggou creek virus, a divergent lineage of hantavirus harbored by the long-tailed mole (scaptonyx fusicaudus). | novel hantaviruses, recently detected in moles (order eulipotyphla, family talpidae) from europe, asia, and north america would predict a broader host range and wider ecological diversity. employing rt-pcr, archival frozen tissues from the chinese shrew mole (uropsilus soricipes), broad-footed mole (scapanus latimanus), coast mole (scapanus orarius), townsend's mole (scapanus townsendii), and long-tailed mole (scaptonyx fusicaudus) were analyzed for hantavirus rna. following multiple attempts, a ... | 2016 | 27433135 |
