Draft genome sequence of Japanese wood mouse, Apodemus speciosus
The wood mouse (genus Apodemus) is one of the most common rodents in broad-leaf forests in the temperate zone of the Palaearctic region. Molecular studies of wood mice have critically enhanced the understanding of their evolution and ancestral biogeographic events. However, their molecular data are currently only limited to partial mitochondrial sequences and a few genes. Therefore, we sequence...
متن کاملGrowth, Development and Reproduction in captive of the Large Japanese Field Mouse, Apodemus speciosus (Rodentia, Muridae)
The large Japanese field mice (Apodemus speciosus) were captured and kept in stainless cages under a constant condition at 23°C and 14 L: 100 photoperiod, and the growth, development and reproduction were investigated in this species. Modification of feeding condition and nest materials and introduction of a chamber and a running wheel apparatus into each cage first enabled this species to bree...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in AhR Gene Related to Dioxin Sensitivity in the Japanese Field Mouse, Apodemus speciosus
Human beings have developed many tools, technologies, and chemicals for their convenience and comfort. For example, herbicides and/or insecticides that are sprayed on crop lands prevent damage from pests and have resulted in remarkable increases in crop yield. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which have insulating properties and are incombustible, were widely used in the past in electronic ins...
متن کاملEffects of environmental radiation on testes and spermatogenesis in wild large Japanese field mice (Apodemus speciosus) from Fukushima
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident that occurred after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 released large quantities of radionuclides to the environment. The long-term effects of radioactive cesium (Cs) on biota are of particular concern. We investigated the accumulation of radioactive Cs derived from the FDNPP accident, and chronic effects of environmental rad...
متن کاملUltrastructure and histochemistry of the submandibular gland of the Japanese wood mouse (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda).
The submandibular glands of adult female and male Japanese wood mice (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda) were studied histochemically using toluidine blue (pH 2.5, 4.1 and 7.0, McIlvaine), PAS reaction, Millon's reaction for tyrosine, p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde for tryptophan, and substrate film techniques for amylase and protease. The glands were also examined ultrastructurally and ultracytochemicall...
