چکیده
The aim of the study was to evaluate impact European beaver (Castor fiber L.) on vegetation diversity and expansion non-native plant species in areas surrounding watercourses Polesie National Park, Poland. investigation carried out within six inhabited by beavers four comparison where were absent. living park had a small excursion range, reaching maximum distance 25 m from watercourse so that effects limited immediate vicinity watercourse. Beaver significantly influenced tall tree forest floor vegetation, while it did not modify low shrub layer. Five alien documented. most strongly associated with activity devil’s beggartick (Bidens frondosa L.), which occurred dams. Other benefiting presence giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Aiton) black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.). Our confirmed hypotheses found literature according activities reduce proportion native can promote species.

متن کاملSequence diversity of the MHC DRB gene in the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber).
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, coding molecules which play an important role in immune response, are the most polymorphic genes known in vertebrates. However, MHC polymorphism in some species is limited. MHC monomorphism at several MHC class I and II loci was previously reported for two neighbouring northern European populations of the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) and reduced s...

متن کاملDevelopment of nine new microsatellite loci for the American beaver, Castor canadensis (Rodentia: Castoridae), and cross-species amplification in the European beaver, Castor fiber.
We developed nine new nuclear dinucleotide microsatellite loci for Castor canadensis. All loci were polymorphic, except for one. The number of alleles ranged from two to four and from five to 12 in populations from Arizona and Wisconsin, respectively. Average heterozygosity ranged from 0.13 to 0.86 per locus. Since cross-species amplification in Castor fiber was successful only in four loci, we...
