Anatomy of the tongue and microstructure of the lingual papillae in the fallow deer Dama dama (Linnaeus, 1758)

Morphology and microstructure of the tongue of the lesser bamboo rat (Cannomys badius)

“…It needs to be emphasized that the processes on each filiform tip of the lesser bamboo rat were almost identical, arranged side by side and devoid of secondary processes, which is the same as that reported in the large bamboo rat (Wannaprasert, ). This feature differs from the appearance of the non‐branched filiform papillae that are mostly found on other rodent tongues (e.g., Emura et al, ; Kilinc et al, ; Sadeghinezhad et al, ) and the filiform papillae that consist of one main process and several secondary processes commonly reported in terrestrial carnivores (Erdoğan, Lima, & Pérez, ; Jackowiak & Godynicki, ) and artiodactyls (Erdoğan & Pérez, ; Jackowiak et al, ).…”

“…Their proposed role is holding the bolus to slip out of the prominence so that it can be moved side‐to‐side from one tooth row to the other for mastication. Filiform papillae were also found on the ventral surface of the lesser bamboo rat's tongue, where the tips of the papillae were tilted apically, as noted in some ruminants (El‐Bakary & Abumandour, ; Jackowiak et al, ), the blind mole rat (Kilinc et al, ) and large bamboo rat (see the Supporting information Figure ).…”

“…Likewise, the lesser bamboo rat's tongue possessed an obvious lingual prominence covered with bulky, wide‐based filiform papillae. In ruminants, this muscular eminence has been proposed to be a site of side‐to‐side separation of food to be crushed with the molars and with the palatal rugae on the surface of the prominence (Jackowiak, Skubis, Lakomy, Nasiadka, & Godynicki, ). The prominence has evolved convergently and probably exhibits functional similarity in rodents and ruminants.…”

Comparison of the gut microbiome in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama) by high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene

“…At present, partial research has been done for red deer and fallow deer on the basis of molecular biology 18,19 . Most of this has research focused on population, biology and trophic analyses [20][21][22] . While the rumen microbiome of red deer in a captive environment and the impact of winter enclosures on the gut microbiome of red deer have been studied previously 23,24 , the gut microbiomes of red deer and fallow deer in captive environments have not previously been researched.…”

Macro‐ and microscopic study on the tongue and lingual papillae of Bison bonasus hybrid as an interspecific species (Bos taurus × Bison bonasus)

“…surface indicate different distribution and microstructures of gustatory papillae, which help in preselection of food on the lingual apex and analysis of masticated food parts in the posterior part of the lingual torus. Previous studies indicate changes of microstructure of the lingual mechanical papillae-especially filiform and conical papillae, which ensure adhesion of the transported and masticated food and also take part in directing food particles during grinding ( Jackowiak et al,2017). The process of hybridization is still natural process often described in bats, rodents and ungulates, what give an opportunity for observations of new cytogenetic and morphologic features important for evolutionary discussions (Iacolina, Corlatti, Buzan, Safner, & Sprem, 2019;Larsen, Marchan-Rivadeneira, & Baker, 2010;Lay & Nadler, 1969).…”
