KINSHIP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MOUNTAIN PIKA
“Pikas” can refer to birds as well as mammals. The mammal ones are small creatures resembling hamsters. However, their closest relatives are hares and rabbits: they are included in the same order, Lagomorphs. Most pikas store hay for the winter (haypiles), which gives them a common denomination of “haystackers”.
Leopards released at the end of July have mastered a significant part of the territory of North Ossetia, especially forest areas, but, judging by the data received, they are not going to stop there.

APPLICATION OF HAIR FOR NON-INVASIVE MONITORING OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTIVE STATUS AND ADRENAL ACTIVITY IN CATS
Assessment of the hormonal status in animals has been carried out in recent decades not only in the blood and organs, but also in various excretions (feces, urine, saliva, milk, hair).
It is “profitable” for parents to produce offspring from a partner more distant in terms of MHC genes, providing maximum heterozygosity for the offspring, which increases its survival rate.
