Interaction Between Two Exotic Invading Species: Endozoochory of Acacia farnesiana Seeds by the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
The question of how plant species foreign to a biological system can disperse and turn into an environmental problem is very important for the control of the invasive plant species, especially for insular ecosystems, which are more susceptible to biological invasions. We analyzed the role played by the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in the seed dispersal of the invasive scrub Acacia fa...
متن کاملDeliberate introduction of the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, into Australia.
The European rabbit was brought to Australia as a companion animal by early settlers. It sometimes escaped, but failed to survive in the Australian bush. In 1879 wild rabbits were deliberately sent to Victoria to provide game for wealthy settlers to shoot. They soon spread all over Australia, except in the tropics, and became Australia's major animal pest. After careful testing in Australian wi...
متن کاملThe remnant of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) IgD gene
Although IgD first appeared, along with IgM, in the cartilaginous fishes and has been retained throughout subsequent vertebrate evolution, it has been lost in a diverse group of vertebrate species. We previously showed that, unlike vertebrates that express IgD, the rabbit lacks an IgD (Cδ) gene within 13.5 kb downstream of the IgM gene. We report here that, by conducting BLAST searches of rabbi...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Genetic Diversity in Rabbit Species (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
After the ratification of the international convention on the biodiversity in Rio, a National Cryobank was created in France in 1999 to preserve the genetic resources of domestic animals (www.cryobanque.org). Particular attention was carried on Oryctolagus cuniculus species with the extension of the national cryobanking to the rabbit (Joly et al., 1998). Nowadays, this tool is very useful for t...
متن کاملStationary distributions of microsatellite loci between divergent population groups of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
Previous analysis of mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in the native range of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) demonstrated the occurrence of two highly divergent (2 Myr) maternal lineages with a well-defined geographical distribution. Analysis of both protein and immunoglobulin polymorphisms are highly concordant with this pattern of differentiation. However, the present analysis of ni...
