Kulan
Definition:
(n.) See Koulan.
Example Sentences:
(1) The helminth species composition of kulan is similar to that of other species of horses.
(2) For pairwise comparisons within this family, estimates of sequence divergence ranged from 0% (E. hemionus onager vs. E. h. kulan) to 7.8% (E. przewalskii vs. E. h. onager).
(3) Chromosome fusion is apparently involved in the alterations of the karyotype of E. hemionus kulan (2n = 55, 54) when compared to the karyotype of the onager, E. hemionus onager (2n = 56).
(4) Comparison of mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment patterns among three unrelated kiang individuals and between kiangs and a Transcaspian kulan, E. hemionus kulan, indicates an approximately 1% nucleotide sequence divergence of mitochondrial DNAs between the two taxa.
(5) This polymorphism involves the same elements that participate in the polymorphic Robertsonian rearrangement producing diploid numbers of 54-56 in E. hemionus kulan and E. hemionus onager.
(6) The helminth fauna of 24 kulans from Askaniya-Nova and Badkhyz was studied.
(7) The first cytogenetic studies of the Turkmenian kulan, Equus hemionus kulan, are reported, and a polymorphism in diploid chromosome number is described.
