Discussion of Related Species in North American Canids and Mustelids
Specimens of Filaroides milksi Whitlock, 1956 removed from the same lung tissue as were the type specimens were re-examined. Because of morphological features similar to those found in the genus Andersonstrongylus Webster, 1978 and inconsistent with those in Filaroides van Beneden, 1850, F. milksi is removed from the latter and placed in Andersonstrongylus as A. milksi (Whitlock, 1956). All ava...
متن کاملNorth American Brant: effects of changes in habitat and climate on population dynamics
We describe the importance of key habitats used by four nesting populations of nearctic brant (Branta bernicla) and discuss the potential relationship between changes in these habitats and population dynamics of brant. Nearctic brant, in contrast to most geese, rely on marine habitats and native intertidal plants during the non-breeding season, particularly the seagrass, Zostera, and the macroa...
متن کاملPatterns of differentiation and hybridization in North American wolflike canids, revealed by analysis of microsatellite loci.
Genetic divergence and gene flow among closely related populations are difficult to measure because mutation rates of most nuclear loci are so low that new mutations have not had sufficient time to appear and become fixed. Microsatellite loci are repeat arrays of simple sequences that have high mutation rates and are abundant in the eukaryotic genome. Large population samples can be screened fo...
متن کاملChanging Climates, Changing Forests: A Western North American Perspective
The Earth’s mean surface air temperature has warmed by 1° C over the last 100 years and is projected to increase at a faster rate in the future, accompanied by changes in precipitation patterns and increases in the occurrence of extreme weather events. In western North America, projected increases in mean annual temperatures range from 1 to 3.5° C by the 2050s, and although projected changes in...
متن کاملCanine parvovirus infection in South American canids.
Canine parvovirus (CPV) infections occurred in 5 of 35 South American canids at the Department of Conservation (DC), a breeding facility of the National Zoological Park in Front Royal, Va. The clinical signs were anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, and vomiting. Three of the affected canids survived and had high hemagglutination-inhibition titers to CPV in the recovery period. Necropsy of the 2 that ...
