Several orders of the Class Aves (Passeriformes, Psittaciformes, Apodiformes, Ciconiiformis, Gruiformes, Columbiformes, Suliformes, Podicipediformes, Anseriformes, Struthioniformes, Falconiformes) and of the Class Mammalia (Rodent...
متن کاملTelomeres shorten more slowly in long-lived birds and mammals than in short-lived ones.
We know very little about physiological constraints on the evolution of life-history traits in general, and, in particular, about physiological and molecular adjustments that accompany the evolution of variation in lifespan. Identifying mechanisms that underlie adaptive variation in lifespan should provide insight into the evolution of trade-offs between lifespan and other life-history traits. ...
متن کاملCyanobacterial poisoning in livestock, wild mammals and birds--an overview.
Poisoning of livestock by toxic cyanobacteria was first reported in the 19th century, and throughout the 20th century cyanobacteria-related poisonings of livestock and wildlife in all continents have been described. Some mass mortality events involving unrelated fauna in prehistoric times have also been attributed to cyanotoxin poisoning; if correct, this serves as a reminder that toxic cyanoba...
متن کاملEncephalitozoon cuniculi Infection in Rabbits
intracellular parasite in the phylum Microspora, which is defined by its resistant spore stage. Microsporidia receive little attention in veterinary medical curricula because they are considered important only as parasites of rabbits and fish. Microsporidia are important parasites of humans as well, with some species causing severe disease and death in immunocompromised individuals. Microsporid...
متن کاملZebra Grant Project Prevalence of Encephalitozoon Cuniculi in a Population of Wild Rabbits in Norfolk, England
Serum samples from 27 wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and two wild brown hares (Lepus europaeus) were tested for the presence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi using an indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Brain and kidney samples from the same animals were also examined for the presence of lesions consistent with encephalitozoonosis. The sample population included in the su...
