Genetic structure of the asiatic black bear in Japan using mitochondrial DNA analysis.
The genetic structure of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Japan was studied to understand the events that occurred during its evolution. The left domain of the mitochondrial control region (about 240 bp) was sequenced, defining 27 haplotypes that consisted of 23 haplotypes from 333 bears in Japan and 22 bears in the Asian continent. The network tree of the control region indicated t...
متن کاملBiochemical Variation in the Black Bear
A total of 35 presumably distinct biochemical loci were analyzed in black bears (Ursus americanus) from Alaska, California, Maine, Montana, Tennessee, and Virginia by using starch-gel electrophoresis. Limited spatial subdivision of gene frequency was observed in Tennessee. Overall heterozygosity levels are lower in black bears than would generally be expected for mammalian species. Levels of in...
متن کاملNew Year's Resolutions and the Black Bear.
American Association for the Advancement of Science Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, rather than by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached. Accordingly, all articles published in Science-including editor...
متن کاملLeucine Metabolism in the Black Bear
Metabolism of the essential amino acid leucine was studied in 3 black bears (Ursus americanus) in February while the bears were denning and not eating or drinking and in May while they were eating and drinking normally. (U-4C) leucine was injected as a bolus intravenously, and timed samples of venous blood were obtained over an 8-day period. Total activity in plasma gradually increased in Febru...
متن کاملAspiration pneumonia in an American black bear
Information regarding American black bear (Ursus americanus) mortality caused by disease is limited. Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease that affects many species of wildlife and can result in death. In February 2011, we investigated the death of a yearling male black bear and determined cause of death to be aspiration pneumonia. We found sections of lung were diffusely congested and edem...
