Perissodactyl


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the Perissodactyla.

  • (6) These observations were extended to several marsupials, carnivora, pinnipeda and perissodactyles.
  • (7) Phylogenetic findings include the association of (1) cetaceans, artiodactyls, and perissodactyls to the exclusion of elephants and humans, (2) pronghorn and fallow deer to the exclusion of bovids (i.e., cow, sheep, and goat), (3) sheep and goat to the exclusion of other pecorans (i.e., cow, giraffe, deer, and pronghorn), and (4) advanced ruminants to the exclusion of the chevrotain and other artiodactyls.
  • (8) No definite conclusions can be drawn about the order of divergence of the perissodactyls, the rodents, and the group consisting of artiodactyls plus cetaceans.

Perissodactyla


Definition:

  • (n. pl.) A division of ungulate mammals, including those that have an odd number of toes, as the horse, tapir, and rhinoceros; -- opposed to Artiodactyla.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Senckenberg 84, 1-132] that hyracoid taxeopody is an independent acquisition resulting from selection favoring increased midcarpal and midtarsal rotation and that Hyracoidea is actually allied with Perissodactyla.
  • (3) Antibodies were detected in eight species of birds (Aves, Passeriformes) and in 22 mammalian species: one species of marsupiales (Marsupialia), 3 species of carnivores (Carnivora), seven species of rodents (Rodentia), two species of rabbits and hares (Lagomorpha), in 8 species of even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla) and one species of odd-toed ungulates (Perissodactyla).
  • (4) Serum or plasma from 25 species of verebrates, from the mammalian orders Primates, Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Carnivora, and Rodentia and from the classes Aves, Amphibia, and Pisces, were assayed.
  • (5) The topography and cytoarchitecture of the pig tuber cinereum was compared with the nuclear configuration of other Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Carnivora and Rodentia.
  • (6) In other animals (rodents, Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla) the lymphangions are 3--5 times longer comparing their width.
  • (7) In Perissodactyla, Artiodactyla and Proboscidea, the fibrinogen level was abnormal more often than the neutrophil count.
  • (8) Recent duplication of the main mos gene in Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla orders of mammals was identified.
  • (9) subclaviae originate from a single common stem, truncus brachio-cephalicus, in Rangifer, Ovibos, Cervus axis, Bos banteng, Okapi, the Perissodactyla, and in Dicerorhinus sumatrensis and Viscacia.
  • (10) On the ground of cytoarchitectonic investigation and planimetric measurements a volumetric comparison between the systems of truncal formations of auditory and optical analysers were made in the representatives of artiodactyla (deer, elk, gazelle, sheep, wild boar, hippopotamus) and perissodactyla orders (horse).
  • (11) A soluble molecule is also detected in the sera of species related to the horse; it has in fact been found in all the wild members of the order Perissodactyla so far tested.
  • (12) Acrosin was detected by immunofluorescence in the spermatozoan acrosomes of artiodactyla (bull, ram and boar), perissodactyla (horse), carnivora (dog and cat), lagomorpha (rabbit) and primates (human) using anti-bovine acrosin immunoglobulins.
  • (13) The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids was remarkably similar in all members of the Perissodactyla examined, with very high percentages of linoleic acid (greater than 70%) being found in the cholesteryl esters.
