(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
The Cuban solenodon (Solenodon cubanus) is one of the most enigmatic mammals and is an extremely rare species with a distribution limited to a small part of the island of Cuba. Despite its rarity, in 2012 seven individuals ...
Caught basking in the winter sun: Preliminary data on winter thermoregulation in the Ethiopian hedgehog, Paraechinus aethiopicus, in Qatar
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimize heat gain, and put less effort on how they maximize heat gain during the cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to significant energy ...
Observations on the postnatal growth and development of captive Ethiopian hedgehogs, Paraechinus aethiopicus, in Qatar
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2016 , Article)
The postnatal growth and development of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) were studied in captivity. Seven females produced seven litters that ranged between two and five young (average 3.3, SE±0.42) with ...
Mitogenomics of the extinct cave lion, Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810), resolve its position within the panthera cats
(
Ubiquity Press
, 2016 , Article)
The extinct cave lion (Panthera spelaea) was an apex predator of the Pleistocene, and one of the largest felid species ever to exist. We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for this species, derived from two ...
What is a Snow Leopard? Taxonomy, Morphology, and Phylogeny
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
The snow leopard is the smallest member of the genus Panthera and is the sister species to the tiger (Panthera tigris). It has a poor fossil record, although a recent discovery in Tibet suggests this lineage could be at ...

Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimise heat gain during hotter months, and put less effort on how they maximise heat gain during cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to ...
