Measures of immune function of wild mice, Mus musculus.
The immune function of wild animals has been rather little studied. Wild animals' immune function may differ from that of laboratory bred animals because of their different environments. This idea follows from the concept of resource partitioning in which animals distribute scarce resources to all aspects of life, including to costly immune responses. A logical extension of this idea is that th...
متن کاملMultiple paternity in wild house mice (Mus musculus musculus): effects on offspring genetic diversity and body mass
Multiple mating is common in many species, but it is unclear whether multiple paternity enhances offspring genetic diversity or fitness. We conducted a survey on wild house mice (Mus musculus musculus), and we found that in 73 pregnant females, 29% of litters had multiple sires, which is remarkably similar to the 23-26% found in feral populations of Mus musculus domesticus in the USA and Austra...
متن کاملGenotoxic effects in wild rodents (Rattus rattus and Mus musculus) in an open coal mining area.
Coal is a mixture of a variety of compounds containing mutagenic and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Exposure to coal is considered as an important non-cellular and cellular source of reactive oxygen species that can induce DNA damage. In addition, spontaneous combustion can occur in coal mining areas, further releasing compounds with detrimental effects on the environment. In th...
متن کاملProtein polymorphism and genic heterozygosity in a wild population of the house mouse (Mus musculus).
PROTEIN polymorphisms demonstrable by zone electrophoresis are finding increasing use in studies of the population genetics, systematics, and ecology of rodents. For wild populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus), studies to date have dealt largely with esterases and hemoglobin (PETRAS 1967; SELANDER and YANG 1969; SELANDER, YANG and HUNT 1969), although genetically determined variation in ...
متن کاملPatterns of infection with the nematodes Syphacia obvelata and Aspiculuris tetraptera in conventionally maintained laboratory mice.
Data on the frequency, distribution and mean intensity of the helminth fauna recovered from outbred and inbred mice conventionally maintained in Brazilian animal houses, are reported. The oxyurid nematodes Syphacia obvelata and Aspiculuris tetraptera presented overall frequencies of 91.5% and 8.5%, respectively. The frequency of S. obvelata in animals of three groups out of the four investigate...
