This feature is accompanied by the reduction or loss of post-carnassial molars, also a characteristic of hypercarnivorous canids 4. AWDs also show a transformation of the talonid on the lower first molar (carnassial) from a basin-like crushing depression into a trenchant heel or cutting blade for slicing flesh, which also occurs independently in two other hypercarnivorous canids, the bush dog ( Speothos venaticus) and the dhole ( Cuon alpinus). The dentition of the AWD is also exceptional, as the teeth are generally sectorial in shape and the premolars are the largest relative to body size of any living carnivoran except spotted hyenas 3. This trait increases their stride length and speed allowing them to pursue prey for long distances in open plain habitats and is unique among living canids 2. Along with a gracile appendicular skeleton, the most notable characteristic of AWDs is the loss of the first digit on the forefeet. Our results show that comparative genomics is a powerful tool for identifying the genetic basis of evolutionary changes in Canidae.Īmong the living species of Canidae, the African wild dog (hereafter, AWD) is considered to be the most specialized with regard to adaptations for cursoriality, diet, and coat coloration 1. Divergence time analyses suggest the suite of genomic changes we identified evolved ~1.7 Mya, coinciding with the diversification of large-bodied ungulates. African wild dog-specific signals of positive selection also uncovered a putative mechanism of molar cusp modification through changes in genes associated with the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway, required for spatial patterning of teeth, and three genes associated with pigmentation. Genome-wide scans revealed unique amino acid deletions that suggest a mode of evolutionary digit loss through expanded apoptosis in the developing first digit. Here, we used comparative genomic analysis to investigate the evolutionary history and genetic basis for adaptations associated with cursoriality, hypercanivory, and coat color variation in African wild dogs.
In addition, this species is one of the few canids considered to be an obligate meat-eater, possessing a robust dentition for taking down large prey, and displays one of the most variable coat colorations amongst mammals. Huma.Dog/AbnormaRhythm/LV.Within the Canidae, the African wild dog ( Lycaon pictus) is the most specialized with regards to cursorial adaptations (specialized for running), having only four digits on their forefeet. *The single has been released in 6 different versions with a different b-side for each versions. They also released a cover of the song ロザリオと薔薇 by SADS that was released on the tribute album M -Sads Respect Album. It appears on a limited edition of their single Gossip-ゴシップ. In 2014, they released a cover version of Akina Nakamori's song Desire. They are the first Visual Kei band to include Dubstep elements to their music on their 2013 album マゾヒストレッドサーカス (Masochist Red Circus). Even though we can hear some jazz influence through their early records, the album Eros and other releases during the year were closer to real jazz music. In 2011, the band turned to a more Jazz influenced band. This album contain rerecording songs from their previous album, 情欲のアクメ, and their EP Eros along with a bonus song, Plug>into the>Soket, that was only released with a music video on the bonus DVD of Royal Order, their 2010 album.
