What's the difference between artiodactyl and artiodactylous?
Artiodactyl
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Artiodactylous
Definition:
(a.) Even-toed.
Example Sentences:
(1) A corollary to this suggestion is the fact that, in the giraffe, as in most other Artiodactyls, the vertebral blood does not participate in the supply of cephalic structures because it is confined to the cervical region by the pressure barrier in the carotid-vertebral anastomosis.
(2) Thus, these genes are syntenic in lagomorphs as well as four other mammalian orders (primates, rodents, carnivores, and artiodactyls).
(3) Since the artiodactyl suborders diverged in the mid-Eocene some 50 million years ago, the fact that representatives of some of them show no differences in their cytochromes c (cow, sheep, and hog), while another exhibits as many as three such differences, verifies that even in relatively closely related lines of descent the rate at which cytochrome c changes in the course of evolution is not constant.
(4) In particular the mitochondrial tree showed rabbit linked first to rodents and the rabbit-rodents branch linked to artiodactyls with human as the outgroup.
(5) Comparison with other ungulates shows that pig myoglobin is far from other artiodactyls previously studied (ox and sheep) and close to the eutherian ancestral chain.
(6) For the Artiodactyls studied, we found that SB alpha M0.82.
(7) Data on lagomorphs are consistent with a star phylogeny, but there is evidence that carnivores and artiodactyls are sister groups.
(8) In general, sperm size is inverse to body mass (except for the Chiroptera), so that the smallest known spermatozoa are amongst those of artiodactyls and the largest are amongst those of marsupials.
(9) In carnivores, artiodactyls, primates and bats the slopes for lifetime standard as well as lifetime active energy budgets are not significantly different from one in any of the investigated data sets.
(10) The 12S rRNA gene is not evolving at a higher rate within the rodent lineages, relative to that seen for artiodactyls and primates.
(11) Because of the animal's similarities with the ancestors of the Artiodactyls, a knowledge of the muntjac's social behaviour is essential for a proper understanding of the evolution and social behaviour of the order.
(12) The most favorite nuclear tree showed human linked first to artiodactyls and the human-artiodactyls branch linked to rabbit with rodents as the outgroup.
(13) The gene is flanked by artiodactyl-specific middle-repetitive DNA, consisting mainly of elements belonging to the 'C-A3' family of repeated DNA.
(14) In addition DRB exon 2 sequences were also obtained from eight additional hoofed animal species (seven horned artiodactyls and one pig) revealing artiodactyl-specific polymorphic and nonpolymorphic substitutions.
(15) The sequence difference between human and the whale and human and the cow was at the same level, indicating that the rate of evolution of the mtDNA rRNA genes is about the same in artiodactyls and cetaceans.
(16) Contrasting with this wide spectrum, no significant binding was found with most mammalian ungulates, such as horse (Perissodactyl), cow, sheep and goat (Artiodactyls).
(17) The apparent insertion of sequences into cattle Y-specific sequences relative to the sheep homologues suggests possible mechanisms for the evolution of the artiodactyl Y chromosome.
(18) We examined D-loop strand termination in two distantly related artiodactyls, the pig and the cow.
(19) Nine additional sequences from representatives of different tribes of the family Bovidae were combined with six published artiodactyl sequences to provide orthologous mtDNA for investigation of bovid phylogeny and evolution.
(20) These features contrast sharply with those of the oldest artiodactyls and indicate that Chriacus or a similar arctocyonid was not ancestral to the Artiodactyla, as has been proposed.
