Nature 419:447-8. 2002..In addition to representing a unique transatlantic colonization event by a fish that swims upriver to spawn, our findings have important implications for projects aimed at restocking Baltic waters with the European sturgeon...- Nonconcordant evolutionary history of maternal and paternal lineages in Adriatic sturgeonA Ludwig

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc 86:885-99. 2011.... - Severe Streptococcus infection in spotted hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater, TanzaniaOliver P Höner
Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Alfred Kowalke Str 17, D 10315 Berlin, Germany
Vet Microbiol 115:223-8. 2006..The high genetic similarity between the hyena and zebra isolates indicates that inter-specific transmission may occur, possibly when hyenas consume infected zebra carcasses... - SRY-related (Sox) genes in the genome of European Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser sturio)Anne Kathrin Hett
