Phylogeny of Arvicolinae (Mammalia, Cricetidae): utility of morphological and molecular data sets in a recently radiating clade
- J. Robovský, V. Řičánková, J. Zrzavý
- Biology
- 1 November 2008
Phylogenetic relationships within the Arvicolinae are examined based on two genes (mitochondrial cytb, nuclear GHR exon 10) and 296 morphological, developmental, behavioural, ecological and… Expand
Extinctions, genetic erosion and conservation options for the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis)
- Y. Moodley, Isa-Rita M. Russo, +14 authors M. Bruford
- Geography, Medicine
- Scientific reports
- 8 February 2017
The black rhinoceros is again on the verge of extinction due to unsustainable poaching in its native range. Despite a wide historic distribution, the black rhinoceros was traditionally thought of as… Expand
Ecological Structure of Recent and Last Glacial Mammalian Faunas in Northern Eurasia: The Case of Altai-Sayan Refugium
- Věra Pavelková Řičánková, J. Robovský, J. Riegert
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 13 January 2014
Pleistocene mammalian communities display unique features which differ from present-day faunas. The paleocommunities were characterized by the extraordinarily large body size of herbivores and… Expand
The Sixth Rhino: A Taxonomic Re-Assessment of the Critically Endangered Northern White Rhinoceros
- C. Groves, P. Fernando, J. Robovský
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 7 April 2010
Background The two forms of white rhinoceros; northern and southern, have had contrasting conservation histories. The Northern form, once fairly numerous is now critically endangered, while the… Expand
Description of four newly discovered Thylacine pouch young and a comparison with Boardman (1945)
- Stephen R. Sleightholme, J. Robovský, V. Vohralík
- Biology
- 2012
Some of the rarest of all thylacine specimens are the alcohol preserved pouch young of which 10 specimens were known to exist. In November 2011, a remarkable discovery was made in the zoological… Expand
Reproduction of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) outside current resident breeding populations in Europe: evidence from the Czech Republic
- M. Jirků, Dalibor Dostál, J. Robovský, M. Sálek
- Biology
- 19 February 2018
Abstract The golden jackal is a mesocarnivore with a rapidly expanding European range, where current resident breeding populations occupy much of the Balkans, Pannonian Basin and the Black and… Expand
Species definitions and conservation: a review and case studies from African mammals
- C. Groves, F. Cotterill, +4 authors D. Zinner
- Biology
- Conservation Genetics
- 24 April 2017
The nature of species, especially as applied to large mammals, is of major concern in conservation. Here, we briefly comment on recent thinking in alpha taxonomy, and assert that species are in… Expand
Phylogeny of the Caninae (Carnivora): Combining morphology, behaviour, genes and fossils
- J. Zrzavý, P. Duda, J. Robovský, Isabela Okřinová, Věra Pavelková Řičánková
- Biology
- 1 July 2018
Phylogenetic relationships among 36 Recent and 42 extinct species of the Caninae (Canidae) were analysed, based on 360 morphological, developmental, ecological, behavioural and cytogenetic characters… Expand
Contrasting evolutionary history, anthropogenic declines and genetic contact in the northern and southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum)
- Y. Moodley, Isa-Rita M. Russo, +8 authors M. Bruford
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B
- 7 November 2018
The white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) has a discontinuous African distribution, which is limited by the extent of sub-Saharan grasslands. The southern population (SWR) declined to its lowest… Expand
Changes of coat cover in primitive horses living on a reserve.
- A. Stachurska, J. Robovský, K. Bocian, I. Janczarek
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of animal science
- 1 March 2015
Changes in the coat cover are important for mammalian thermoregulation. This is especially true where variable environmental conditions exist throughout the seasons. Coat cover shedding is the… Expand
