The phylogenetic position of the Pedetidae, represented by a single species
Pedetes capensis, is controversial, reflecting in part the retention of
both Hystricomorphous and Sciurognathous characteristics in this rodent. In
an attempt to clarify the species evolutionary relationships, mtDNA gene
sequences from 10 rodent species (representing seven families) were
analyzed using phenetic, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood methods of
phylogenetic inference; the rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus (Order
Lagomorpha), and cow, Bos taurus (Order Artiodactyla), were used as
outgroups. Investigation of 714 base pairs of the protein-coding cytochrome
b gene indicate strong base bias at the third codon position with
significant rate heterogeneity evident between the three structural domains
of this gene. Similar analyses conducted on 816 base pairs of the 12S rRNA
gene revealed a transversion bias in the loop sections of all taxa. The
cytochrome b gene sequences proved useful in resolving associations between
closely related species but failed to produce consistent tree topologies at
the family level. In contrast, phylogenetic analysis of the 12S rRNA gene
resulted in strong support for the clustering of
Pedetidae/Heteromyidae/Geomyidae and Muridae in one clade to the exclusion
of the Hystricidae/Thryonomyidae and Sciuridae, a finding which is
concordant with studies of rodent fetal membranes as well as reproductive
and other anatomical features.

Background
Glutathione, the main antioxidant of intestinal epithelial cells, is suggested to play an important role in gut barrier function and prevention of inflammation-related oxidative damage as induced by acute bacterial infection. Most studies on intestinal glutathione focus on oxidative stress reduction without considering functional disease outcome. Our aim was to determine whether depletion or maintenance of intestinal glutathione changes susceptibility of rats to Salmonella infection and associated inflammation. 相似文献35.
To study whether absolute (m/s) or relative (body lengths/s) speed should be used to compare the vulnerability of differently sized animals, we developed a simple computer simulation. Human 'predators' were asked to 'catch' (mouse-click) prey of different sizes, moving at different speeds across a computer screen. Using the simulation, a prey's chances of escaping predation depended on its speed (faster prey were more difficult to catch than slower prey of the same body size), but also on its size (larger prey were easier to catch than smaller prey at the same speed). Catching time, the time needed to catch a prey, also depended on both prey speed and prey size. Relative prey speed (body lengths/s or body surface/s) was a better predictor of catching time than was absolute prey speed (m/s). Our experiment demonstrates that, in contrast to earlier assertions, per unit body length speed of prey may be more 'ecologically relevant' than absolute speed.
