“…We performed RNA-sequencing on gonadal samples from four chestnut lamprey (Ichthyomyzon castaneus) and six northern brook lamprey (I. fossor) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEG’s) and pathways associated with transcriptomic differences in: (1) larvae during early gonadal differentiation versus definitive females (i.e., with oocytes in the slow cytoplasmic growth phase); and (2) females versus definitive males undergoing spermatogonial proliferation. …”

“…Some of the diagnostic features of Changmiania liaoningensis nov. gen., nov. sp. are tentatively interpreted as adaptations to a fossorial behavior, including: fused premaxillae; nasal laterally expanded, overhanging the maxilla; shortened neck formed by only six cervical vertebrae; neural spines of the sacral vertebrae completely fused together, forming a craniocaudally-elongated continuous bar; fused scapulocoracoid with prominent scapular spine; and paired ilia symmetrically inclined dorsomedially, partially covering the sacrum in dorsal view. …”

Ten populations of fossorial water vole, Arvicola scherman, located in a bocage landscape in Atlantic NW Spain were studied using DNA microsatellite markers and a graph-based model. …”

“…Embora inicialmente a CAM fosse considerada uma consequência de um processo degenerativo relacionado à idade, achados recentes sugerem outros mecanismos contributivos independentes, como aterosclerose e metabolismo anormal de cálcio-fósforo. A calcificação caseosa do anel mitral (cCAM) é uma variante raramente descrita da CAM, caracterizada por uma massa ovoide, focal, com calcificações internas semelhantes a líquido caseoso e detritos. …”

“…CONCLUSIONS: The drastic acceleration of vomeronasal development in moles is most likely coupled with the increased importance of the rostrum for digging and its use as a specialized tactile surface, both fossorial adaptations. The late development of the nasal in shrew moles, a condition also displayed by hedgehogs and shrews, is suggested to be the result of an ecological reversal to terrestrial lifestyle and reduced functional importance of the rostrum. …”
