Although a large part of the global domestic dog population is free-ranging and free-breeding, knowledge genetic diversity in these free-breeding dogs (FBDs) their ancestry relations to pure-breed limited, indigenous status FBDs Asia still uncertain. We analyse genome-wide SNP variability across Eurasia, show that they display weak structure are genetically distinct from rather than constituting an admixture breeds. Our results suggest modern European breeds originated locally FBDs. East...
Few studies analyze the morphology and anatomy of bat skull, most them are incomplete. Some difficulties stem from fact that, in representatives order Chiroptera, interosseous sutures disappear by fusing together before active flight begins, which takes place over only a few months. This study presents detailed morphological anatomical description skull juvenile specimen
The aim of this study was to estimate heat loss in the brown long-eared bat during hibernation depending on refugioclimate conditions. measured values parameters were: ambient temperature (Ta) 3–10 °C, relative humidity (Rh) 74–98% and air velocity (v) 0.06–0.95 m/s. Heat calculated using convective transfer equations. Mean amounted 4 W/m2. results were compared based fat burned hibernation. Bats flying into underground systems period captured their body mass measured. A 2.6 g over 126 days...

Pb contents (13-53 mg kg−1) and pathological changes in almost complete cow skeletons discovered graves adjacent to Ag smelting furnaces active the Silesian-Cracovian region, mid-12th century are reported article. In addition Pb, elements such as Zn, Cd, Fe, Mn, Ba characteristic of Zn-Pb-Ag ores region were identified. Bone fragments soil which they had lain for 800 years examined by SEM, EDS. XRD was used identify minerals present soils. The enrichment bones with Cd is associated...
This study focuses on the hibernation behavior of western barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) in underground systems Poland from 2006 to 2011, specifically during peak months December February. The impact climate parameters, namely temperature (T), humidity (Rh), and air flow velocity (v), clustering bats was investigated. parameters varied within specific ranges: T fluctuated between 6.0 12.4 °C, Rh ranged 56.4 91.8%, v 0.01 1.17 m/s. quantile linear regression method for statistical...
Ecological aspects of bat hibernacula in temperate climate zone Central Europe In zone, undergrounds (caves) are the main place for hibernation. It is possible to distinguish three kinds usage caves by bats: used as a hibernaculum, where bats spend winter period, shelters reproductive colonies during summer and temporary transitional period (spring fall) also places food. Caves hibernaculum must offer suitable microclimate bats. Several important physical factors decide on selection refugee...

Abstract. Social hibernation of animals is one the most important physiological and ecological behaviours. The purpose study was investigation influence roostsite climate parameters: temperature (T), humidity (Rh) air flow velocity (v) on clustering Barbastella barbastellus (western barbastelle) during hibernation. research carried out in underground systems Poland (Central Europe) over a period 6 years. range parameters changes ranged for T from 6.0 to 12.4 °C, Rh 56.4 91.8 % v 0.01 1.17...
During the studies on invertebrate fauna of subterranean part “Wieliczka” Salt Mine in Wieliczka, Poland, presence many specimens dipteran species Meoneura obscurella (Fallén 1823) was observed. Organic remains and faeces related to mice (Mus musculus) were indicated as a potential food source for insects. M. displays lecithotrophic viviparity (ovoviviparity), which has developed due extremely harsh abiotic conditions lack food. This is first documented case within fly family Carnidae. Based...
