Haemoparasites of common shrews (Sorex araneus) in Northwest England.
The presence of haemoparasites belonging to the taxa Anaplasma, Bartonella and Trypanosoma was determined among 76 common shrews (Sorex araneus) from Northwest England. Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA was recovered from the blood of 1 shrew (1.3%), with the amplified 16S rRNA sequence identical to one previously reported from a bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus). Trypanosoma spp. DNA was detecte...
متن کاملGenetic and karyotypic structure in the shrews of the Sorex araneus group: are they independent?
The species of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) group are morphologically very similar but exhibit high levels of karyotypic variation. Here we used genetic variation at 10 microsatellite markers in a data set of 212 individuals mostly sampled in the western Alps and composed of five karyotypic taxa (Sorex coronatus, Sorex antinorii and the S. araneus chromosome races Cordon, Bretolet and Vaud)...
متن کاملKaryotypic differentiation of populations of the common shrew Sorex araneus L. (Mammalia) in Belarus
The common shrews, Sorex araneus Linnaeus, 1758, inhabiting the territory of Belarus, are characterized by a significant variation in the frequency of Robertsonian (Rb) translocations. The frequency clines for translocations specific of three chromosome races: the West Dvina (gm, hk, ip, no, qr), Kiev (g/m, hi, k/o, n, p, q, r), and Białowieża (g/r, hn, ik, m/p, o, q) have already been studied ...
متن کاملDiet selection by common shrews Sorex araneus in a depleting environment.
Common shrews (Sorex araneus L.) were presented with two prey types at various densities in a depleting environment. Observed diet choice was compared to predictions of the classical optimal diet model and of "shrew-specific" simulations incorporating patch depletion. Two strategies were simulated: expansion of the diet from taking only profitable prey to taking both types, and fixed partial pr...
متن کاملHierarchical analyses of genetic differentiation in a hybrid zone of Sorex araneus (Insectivora: Soricidae)
Microsatellites are used to unravel the fine-scale genetic structure of a hybrid zone between chromosome races Valais and Cordon of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) located in the French Alps. A total of 269 individuals collected between 1992 and 1995 was typed for seven microsatellite loci. A modified version of the classical multiple correspondence analysis is carried out. This analysis clear...
