Genetic diversity and fitness in black-footed ferrets before and during a bottleneck.
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) is an endangered North American carnivore that underwent a well-documented population bottleneck in the mid-1980s. To better understand the effects of a bottleneck on a free-ranging carnivore population, we used 24 microsatellite loci to compare genetic diversity before versus during the bottleneck, and compare the last wild population to two historica...
متن کاملThe annual reproductive cycle of mink (Mustela vison).
Reproductive organ development, plasma sex steroid concentrations and fur growth patterns were determined for pubescent and adult mink of both sexes, at 1tc~ 8-week intervals, between July and the following June. Plasma estradiol concentrations and weights (mg/kg) of ovaries, oviducts and uteri decreased slightly in both pubescent and adult females during the first half of anestrus (July to Oct...
متن کاملExperimental infection of domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and Siberian polecats (Mustela eversmanni) with Yersinia pestis.
Eight domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and two Siberian polecats (M. eversmanni) were inoculated subcutaneously with 12 to 1.2 x 10(7) Yersinia pestis originally isolated during an epizootic of plague in white-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys leucurus) near Meeteetse, Park County, Wyoming (USA) in 1985. None of the ferrets or polecats developed clinical signs of disease which suggested that...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of hybridization and introgression between the endangered european mink (Mustela lutreola) and the polecat (Mustela putorius).
Human-mediated global change will probably increase the rates of natural hybridization and genetic introgression between closely related species, and this will have major implications for conservation of the taxa involved. In this study, we analyse both mitochondrial and nuclear data to characterize ongoing hybridization and genetic introgression between two sympatric sister species of mustelid...
متن کاملModelling the Distribution of the European Polecat Mustela Putorius in a Mediterranean Agricultural Landscape
RÉSUMÉ. — Modélisation de la distribution du Putois Mustela putorius dans un paysage agricole méditerranéen. — L’objectif de ce travail est d’évaluer la distribution du Putois dans une région du sud du Portugal, en identifi ant les descripteurs d’environnement dont il dépend et en comparant les résultats de deux méthodes différentes d’analyse de la distribution de l’espèce. La première de ces m...
