The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the rare Fea's muntjac () was sequenced (GenBank accession nos. MG857662-MG857664). The mitogenome was found to be 16,355 bp in length with base compositions of 33.16% A, 24.59% C, 13.46% G, and 28.78% T and a GC content of 38.06%. The genome is comprised of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Fea's muntjac is more closely related to Black muntjac () than to Red muntjac (). These data will be useful for further studies on the genetic diversity and molecular phylogenetic relationship of the genus .

Eukaryotes have varying numbers and structures of characteristic chromosomes across lineages or species. The evolutionary trajectory of species may have been affected by spontaneous genome rearrangements. Chromosome fusion drastically alters karyotypes.

Researchers have proposed a variety of classification schemes for the species in the genus (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) based on morphological, molecular, and other evidence, but disputes remain. The Tibetan Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve in the Eastern Himalayas is an area with a rich diversity of muntjac species. The habitats of many species overlap in this area, but systematic research in this area is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how slow versus fast freezing affects testicular tissue and sperm from various wild animals collected post-mortem, specifically looking at seven species including felids, cervids, and bovids in captivity.
- - Results showed that slow freezing caused greater damage to sperm membrane and DNA integrity compared to fast freezing, although the difference wasn't statistically significant.
- - While fast freezing seemed to preserve sperm better, it might have negatively impacted the health of intra-tubular cells, indicating a trade-off in cryopreservation methods for wildlife gamete recovery.
